Proofpoint Enterprise DLP Reviews

My main use case for Proofpoint Enterprise DLP is to protect sensitive information such as Canadian IDs, such as SIN.

A specific example of how I use Proofpoint Enterprise DLP to protect information such as Canadian IDs or SIN is when Proofpoint detects an email that is being sent externally and there's information containing SIN. Proofpoint performs automated encryption for the email.

I have plans to use Proofpoint Enterprise DLP to prohibit corporate emails from getting leaked out to people's personal email.

I'm not sure yet what the best features of Proofpoint Enterprise DLP are.

Detailed reporting and automated encryption stand out to me among the features mentioned, such as automated encryption, advanced content detection, unified policy management, and detailed reporting.

Detailed reporting and automated encryption have helped me because, since our DLP is on monitoring mode, the reporting helps us check how many users are currently sending emails with sensitive information.

Proofpoint Enterprise DLP has had a positive impact on my organization by providing benefits for visibility at this time.

The visibility I get is mainly about seeing users who send sensitive data.

I think Proofpoint Enterprise DLP could be improved by including templates.

My main suggestion for needed improvements is the inclusion of DLP template policies which cater to the Canadian landscape.

I have been working in my company since 2014.

Proofpoint Enterprise DLP is stable.

I have no comment on the scalability of Proofpoint Enterprise DLP.

The customer support for Proofpoint Enterprise DLP is very good.

I would rate the customer support a 10 on a scale of 1 to 10.

I did not previously use a different solution for DLP.

Proofpoint Enterprise DLP is deployed in my organization using Proofpoint Cloud.

I have not seen a return on investment with Proofpoint Enterprise DLP as we are still on monitoring mode.

I did not evaluate other options before choosing Proofpoint Enterprise DLP.

The effectiveness of Proofpoint Enterprise DLP helps us learn the behavior of a user over time, allowing us to distinguish if the user is committing certain scenarios that are not beneficial for the company.

The unified platform aspect of Proofpoint Enterprise DLP is important for my organization, but we still don't have that.

My advice to others looking into using Proofpoint Enterprise DLP is that they should evaluate it thoroughly.

My main use case for Proofpoint Enterprise DLP is maintaining compliance purposes by validating that corporate information is not being sent to personal email addresses or violating any terms of service we have with our clients.

For example, in some cases, we have lawyers sending messages to other lawyers at other businesses or firms, and occasionally they may do that quick dropdown in Microsoft Outlook and accidentally send something to their personal email address instead of an external contact they are trying to send to, in which our DLP system identifies that and catches it before the message is sent to the incorrect email address.

The best features Proofpoint Enterprise DLP offers are the visibility it has and how it integrates with their enterprise email security suite, and how it meshes together with the threat inside dashboard, giving a one-pane-of-glass view of the DLP situation currently happening.

The single pane of glass and integration with the threat dashboard made it a lot easier for me to identify real threats and quickly determine if something is a false positive and not a real DLP threat. For example, if a lawyer is sending to a self-represented opposing counsel at a Gmail account, then I know it's a legitimate communication going to that Gmail account and not a DLP threat. That dashboard really helps show what is a threat and what isn't, and what needs to be investigated and what can be marked as benign.

Proofpoint Enterprise DLP has positively impacted my organization by increasing our ability to respond to DLP events and investigate them a lot quicker, and to eliminate any false positives extremely quickly instead of having to dig out logs and correlate logs. It's all there in that one dashboard, making it great and extremely responsive.

Since we started using it, we've seen a 100% improvement, a 45% reduction in DLP, an 80% increase in DLP cases being identified because it's a great detection tool, and a 40% decrease in events due to the warnings it provides users.

To improve Proofpoint Enterprise DLP, I believe integrating AI features in local instances in the local tenants per business would help parse through identified events to identify false positives and actual DLP events. I know a lot of that requires manual review, but now with AI, I think they can leverage it to help administrators determine that.

To make it a 10, it needs more integrations in using AI technologies to help better parse through manual review events.

Proofpoint has amazing customer support, and that's the honest truth. I always recommend everyone to use Proofpoint for their great customer service, development of their products, and efficiency of their products. Of course, there is a little premium when going with such a big company, but the service and quality of results make every penny well spent.

We just used the built-in DLP features in Microsoft 365, but we didn't have a dedicated solution.

The pricing for Proofpoint Enterprise DLP is a little bit on the higher end. The setup cost is all integrated into the pricing, but I find with Proofpoint you get what you pay for, so it's a great service.

We evaluated Microsoft offerings as well as other email providers and third-party companies, and the fact that Proofpoint bundles a complete range of DLP services that are really great for an organization to have all together is why we decided to go with them.

Proofpoint Enterprise DLP works really well. I have nothing else to add about the features. It's fine. Proofpoint Enterprise DLP is a great service, and we're very happy with it. I would rate this review a 9 out of 10.

My main use case for Proofpoint Enterprise DLP is to block business data from getting misused, for example, in case of a phishing email or when there are cloud applications that need to be protected, and for compliance purposes.

A specific example of how I have used Proofpoint Enterprise DLP to block business data or protect cloud applications involves integrating with SOAR tools like ServiceNow, which helps in speeding up the investigation and response times, generates a threat summary to provide automated summaries of complex threats, and protects teams or, for example, Zoom calls using secure collaboration tools by scanning malicious content, URLs, and file sharing.

The best features Proofpoint Enterprise DLP offers so far have been related to SOAR tools and the summary. The adaptive email feature helps in identifying if a user is sending sensitive information to the wrong recipient, which is a good example I would like to highlight, along with the ability to identify unique custom identifiers for my business and to obtain specific account numbers or internal ID formats.

The adaptive email feature helps me in tracking and automatically identifying if a user is sending sensitive information to the wrong recipient and provides real-time warning banners to nudge users when they are about to make a mistake or reduce accidental data loss.

Proofpoint Enterprise DLP has positively impacted my organization by tracking emails and preventing data leaks.

Proofpoint Enterprise DLP is currently very good. It could become more user-friendly for someone who is not from the DLP field and could also help someone from a finance domain by integrating it with other domains as well.

I have been using Proofpoint Enterprise DLP for one year. With my previous employer, I used it frequently. Here, it is not as frequent because my current organization does not have extensive usage, but for my own projects and a business I am doing, I use it.

Proofpoint Enterprise DLP is stable.

The scalability is pretty decent and able to scale almost everything for the purpose it serves.

Customer support is good with a quick response and great feedback. On a scale of one to ten, I would rate the customer support around an eight because they have been very helpful whenever the need arose.

Positive

I previously used a different solution, but I cannot disclose this due to confidentiality.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing was straightforward. Pricing was relatively higher, but it was still worth it.

I have seen a return on investment. Fewer employees are needed now, and the team has been reduced in number, so time and money have both been saved.

I have seen a return on investment. Fewer employees are needed now, and the team has been reduced in number, so time and money have both been saved.

I evaluated other options before choosing Proofpoint Enterprise DLP, but I cannot disclose the options.

The technology and tool are very useful for my organization, and I do not have many complaints about it.

Proofpoint Enterprise DLP will help me in identifying data leaks and ensuring that sensitive information stays within the organization.

Adaptive information protection has influenced my organization's approach to data security to a great extent, and most of the data remains secure.

The unified platform aspect of Proofpoint Enterprise DLP is very important for my organization because it is sensitive to data leaks, and I deal with data-sensitive information.

Monitoring problematic copilot use is a good opportunity to explore.

My advice to others looking into using Proofpoint Enterprise DLP is to know the tool first and then explore other options and compare. Proofpoint is definitely the best.

My main use case for Proofpoint Enterprise DLP is incident management.

A specific example of how I use Proofpoint Enterprise DLP for incident management is containment; when there's an incident, I ensure that there's no PII that has gone out from our organization.

In addition to incident management, I mainly use Proofpoint Enterprise DLP for investigations, particularly when it comes to email security gateway.

The best features that Proofpoint Enterprise DLP offers are containment and incident management.

What makes the containment and incident management features stand out for me are the speed and level of accuracy.

Proofpoint Enterprise DLP has positively impacted my organization by improving the security posture of our data and containment within incidents, providing reassurance that PII has not leaked during times of incidents.

Usability has improved over the years; initially, it was difficult to navigate around the tooling, and my only other concern is around the number of products and how it's packaged up, as it gets a bit confusing at times.

Proofpoint Enterprise DLP can be improved by providing more ease of use and navigation around the toolset itself.

When roadmaps are developed and communicated in conferences, it is always hard and difficult to understand the number of products, what they do, and how they integrate, and where the gaps are within our organization because there are so many products now.

I have not used the LLM classifiers that protect newly developed content.

I think it is quite effective in detecting and preventing data loss through the analysis of user behavior and content; however, I have not fully implemented Proofpoint Enterprise DLP in my organization.

I have been using Proofpoint Enterprise DLP for about four to five years.

I do not have the data on me in terms of response times, but I find it to be a useful tool when I do have an incident for confirming exactly what the breach is and measuring the size of the breach.

There are no further improvements needed for Proofpoint Enterprise DLP that I have not mentioned, only the ones I have already brought up.

I would rate this product an 8.

My main use case for Proofpoint Enterprise DLP involved determining what classification solutions were in place in a couple of projects that we worked on, but the most important aspect was the critical data for the business, and building controls around those data sets and applying those policies was straightforward with Proofpoint compared to other solutions.

It was more about a medical institution that we were trying to help, and for that particular entity, the patient information was critical. The way Proofpoint Enterprise DLP allowed us to build the policies around protecting the data was straightforward and intuitive.

My main use case was around health data, and we knew where exactly the data was sitting. The kind of access towards that data on the communications part or the transfer of the data is where Proofpoint Enterprise DLP really helped.

The best features Proofpoint Enterprise DLP offers include the ease of building rule sets, which is quite intuitive, and comprehensive policies for the data sets and the channels. The way we were able to implement it was easy and testable, so I do believe that is the best feature of the product itself.

When I say the rule building process in Proofpoint Enterprise DLP was intuitive and testable, it made life quite easy while guiding us through the process, such as when you have the source, what to apply, and the kind of action you want to take, including alerting sets. It is quite elaborate compared to other solutions, giving you the absolute control that you require.

Being from the consultant side, I can say that the customer was really happy with Proofpoint Enterprise DLP as is. They had a previous solution that never moved into absolute blocking mode, but with this solution and the rule sets that we were able to build for them, we were able to build it out, and I would say within six to eight months, they moved into a proper blocking mode. So it's a win, because DLP solutions tend to drag on for a long time.

The unified platform aspect of Proofpoint Enterprise DLP is very important for our organization, as the customer used the suite of Proofpoint products, making cross integrations really helpful between different product lines, though other integrations can sometimes be tough, especially with CASB aspects.

Adaptive policy enforcement in Proofpoint Enterprise DLP aids my analysts in responding to data risk with greater accuracy, as we received feedback five or six months after deployment that the adaptive features helped in identifying false positives. Once the learning curve was achieved, it was straightforward.

In terms of improvements, I find there are some blind spots in Proofpoint Enterprise DLP; you can obviously add more channels for detection, and logging can be much improved, specifying exactly what action took place or what alert was generated. There is a bit of ambiguity in that area. Apart from that, I am quite happy with the solution.

From a user experience standpoint, the UI in Proofpoint Enterprise DLP can be a bit better. Integration-wise, it would be great if the API or document API could work better with other integrations, as that is a place where we have found it a bit lacking.

I have had worked with the solution on two deployments.

Proofpoint Enterprise DLP is stable.

From a scalability standpoint, the multi-approach does help, as there are probes for multiple datasets across the domain, though having a single pane of glass to maintain all that would make it even better.

The customer support for Proofpoint Enterprise DLP is good and it did help.

When rating customer support on a scale of one to ten, I say seven because anyone can improve all the time; customers can never be 100% satisfied, and as a customer I would expect support to handle queries within minutes.

Positive

As a consultant, I have had exposure to multiple DLP solutions, including Proofpoint Enterprise DLP, in my previous work with Forcepoint. Comparatively to others, I have worked on two or three deployments, and it is a good product.

As a consultant, I have experience integrating, and I find the ease of deployment of Proofpoint Enterprise DLP at least two times better than previous solutions.

The customer who bought Proofpoint Enterprise DLP actually worked with the channel.

I have seen a return on investment.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing in Proofpoint Enterprise DLP was more about providing comparisons between products, and pricing negotiation was done by the customer, so I cannot talk much about it.

Before choosing Proofpoint Enterprise DLP, evaluating other options was my job as a consultant, where I would present different solutions to the customer, and it was up to him to choose which solution he wanted to go with.

I assess the effectiveness of Proofpoint Enterprise DLP in detecting and preventing data loss through user behavior and content analysis, and I would say effectiveness is displayed in that they had a solution which they could never move to a blocking scenario; however, with Proofpoint Enterprise DLP they were able to do it. If the rule sets and data sets are not right, the customer would never have even gone to the blocking mode. It is a continuous process with false positives and negatives, and the solution helps a lot in figuring out what will not work, but there is a gap in pinning out exact problems with datasets.

We have used the auto-learned classifiers within Proofpoint Enterprise DLP, with around 60 to 70% accuracy, as we knew where the data is located, and while the crawlers helped, we faced some problems when different languages, such as Arabic, were in use, which was a challenge for us.

My advice to others looking into using Proofpoint Enterprise DLP is to understand the source they need to protect, then pick the solution that suits their environment and use case, understanding the product before buying. I would rate this product an 8 out of 10.

My main use case for Proofpoint Enterprise DLP involves network scanning, email scanning, and endpoint DLP. I have built the solution for scanning on the network, including SSN numbers on SharePoint, OneDrive, and bank credit cards.

I have handled confidential information such as National ID for different countries, so I have worked with various companies and government agencies. I have also worked in the banking sector, deploying Forcepoint solution.

In the banking sector, I get the chance to perform assessments, where I mainly conduct most of the assessments. For a government bank, I was assessing their use of Forcepoint to understand how the Forcepoint DLP policy is behaving as they were encountering a lot of false positives. I found that they had built a policy for blocking the AI chatbot but had exceptions for certain users who could take screenshots from the chat, which they had not accounted for. They agreed that this was problematic.

Additionally, I helped the banking sector increase their DLP coverage, checking for SSN on several servers and SharePoint while expanding to Teams and OneDrive to ensure no confidential details were being shared. That is how I used Forcepoint solution to ensure everything was working properly.

My main use case is typically around DLP solutioning use cases, finding the insider threat for SSNs. I have also developed use cases for fingerprinting, as the organization wants to restrict their tax filings for a UK-based government agency, NHS. They wanted to restrict those filings to only one website, which they attempted with a proxy approach. However, they had exceptions and wanted to track who was sending what kind of files since people used to change the names and upload them to different websites. The company requested if I could create an Optical Content Fingerprinting solution for this, so we built use cases based on that.

I think the best features Proofpoint Enterprise DLP offers are its speed and reliability. The number of false positives is fewer compared to other vendors, and I find Forcepoint to be a solid solution. I would recommend it as I have recommended it to a few of my customers. In terms of the DPSM product line evolution, I believe it is far better compared to Microsoft Purview, making it a direct competitor, and in some aspects, it is better than Microsoft Purview.

I believe that Proofpoint Enterprise DLP positively impacts my organization and my clients by reducing alert fatigue. Secondly, the use cases or GUI is easy to use, making it very simple for analysts or new people to train, as it is designed differently.

Regarding alert fatigue, I observe that after using Forcepoint, there is a noticeable reduction in the number of unnecessary alerts. It is easier for new team members to manage these alerts thanks to the user-friendly GUI, which significantly facilitates their training in a real-time environment. My role involves training L1 personnel to assist them with any challenges they encounter, as they know they can contact me directly.

I found that they had built a policy for blocking the AI chatbot but had exceptions for certain users who could take screenshots from the chat, which they had not accounted for. They agreed that this was problematic.

I have been using Proofpoint Enterprise DLP for six years.

I cannot provide an example of how that has helped my team or my clients in daily operations because I do not come from an operational role. My role has always been to assess systems, conduct consulting work, and manage deployments.

To elaborate on alert fatigue, during the worm attack in our environment, the attack was replicating SSNs in the file type, leading to numerous alerts. After we added those file types or the path, I witnessed a reduction in the alerts.

I rate Proofpoint Enterprise DLP a nine on a scale of one to ten because Microsoft Purview is truly a game changer. To be very honest and fair, the way it handles insider threats or risks is much faster compared to other product lines available in the market due to the advantages Microsoft possesses. Predominantly, we utilize Microsoft product lines, which have an edge in managing data theft or data security from Windows machine platforms.

Regarding how Proofpoint Enterprise DLP is deployed in my organization, I honestly have no idea since I do not manage it. I function as a service provider for my company. However, I have experience with on-premises solutioning, hybrid solutions for Forcepoint, and public cloud deployments. I have mostly seen hybrid or on-premises solutions.

In hybrid deployments, I am aware that we use AWS as our cloud provider.

When we do this solutioning for Proofpoint Enterprise DLP, we integrate it while considering the costing sheet for hybrid setups. The sales team is well aware of how to manage this.

My main use case for Proofpoint Enterprise DLP is monitoring and protecting my company's data, including preventing accidental leaks and monitoring insider threats.

Currently, when making a policy with Proofpoint Enterprise DLP, I create different policies. Recently, there was a leakage incident where an insider threat tried to send confidential data to someone who does not belong to the company, and we caught it. We received an alert in the system, and we apprehended the individual.

I believe every service that Proofpoint Enterprise DLP provides is useful for my company. Policy creation is the particular feature I rely on the most with Proofpoint Enterprise DLP.

The unified platform aspect of Proofpoint Enterprise DLP is really important for our company because it protects confidential data. Adaptive information protection with Proofpoint Enterprise DLP has changed how we handle sensitive data and respond to threats, allowing us to block sensitive data if it is being shared with external persons.

As an analyst, using Proofpoint Enterprise DLP is very easy. Any beginner can learn the features because the user interface is very easy to understand and work with. I really love Proofpoint Enterprise DLP.

The dashboard of Proofpoint Enterprise DLP is great, and I really love it.

Integrating an AI agent along with human oversight could improve Proofpoint Enterprise DLP.

I have been working for about a year in my current field.

Proofpoint Enterprise DLP was flexible and stable, and I did not have issues with downtime or reliability.

The scalability of Proofpoint Enterprise DLP is good, and it can handle growth and changing needs easily.

The customer support for Proofpoint Enterprise DLP is very responsive and helpful. I would rate the customer support of Proofpoint Enterprise DLP a ten.

Positive

I have not used a different solution, and I am not sure because I was a fresher and have only worked on Proofpoint Enterprise DLP.

I did not evaluate other options before choosing Proofpoint Enterprise DLP.

Using Proofpoint Enterprise DLP has definitely secured my company and its data. I cannot think of any specific outcomes or changes I have noticed.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing was straightforward, and I did not face any challenges.

Without a doubt, you can just go for Proofpoint Enterprise DLP because it is flexible and any newcomer can really explore it. It is very easy to learn and interesting as well.

I rate this product a nine out of ten.

My main use case for Proofpoint Enterprise DLP is to maintain a proper security portfolio and usage for our key data in our organization and to satisfy compliance.

A specific example of how I use Proofpoint Enterprise DLP for compliance and protecting key data is that we have two types of critical data. One is personal information with some credit card information that we need to ensure only certain users have access to and that is protected. The second type is certain data that only departments such as Accounts Receivable have access to, and we need to ensure that it is in use.

I don't think there are any other unique ways we're using Proofpoint Enterprise DLP; it's standard practice.

Proofpoint Enterprise DLP has positively impacted my organization by keeping us secure and making us aware of whether any critical information is in motion or at risk, and furthermore, whether there are employees that have malicious intent or malicious actions.

Proofpoint helps me detect those risky employee actions by showing alerts on the data that was moved, and it shows us who is doing that and what they are doing. If they have malicious intent, we can identify what they are sending and often who they are sending it to.

The best features Proofpoint Enterprise DLP offers, in my opinion, are the interface and the GUI and the interconnectivity of some of their other platforms.

When I mention interconnectivity, I specifically refer to the email product and also the full platform integration that Proofpoint offers. There are a bunch of their other products that we utilize and they have ease of use.

If I had to think of one area that could use a little more polish, I do think putting more and more things into the integration of the full platform and portfolio is great to take multiple risk variants and provide alerts to the security organization and administrators.

I have been using Proofpoint Enterprise DLP for two years.

Those integration aspects are great for our organization. I provided feedback on the features of Proofpoint Enterprise DLP and I appreciate the opportunity to share my thoughts. I gave this review a rating of seven.
