Incentivized Helpful?

Nicole Dohrman Network Security Analyst in Information Technology at Ameren (Utilities, 10,001+ employees) Chose Proofpoint Email Protection As a previous Exchange administrator, ProofPoint allowed us to move many security-based mail flow rules into the system. This simplified our Exchange mail flow and allowed for more detailed and concise rules. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Proofpoint Email Protection We use Symantec DLP for our on-premise protection of endpoints and network traffic.

Frank Haarmann Senior Consultant in Information Technology at CGI Deutschland B.V.&Co.KG (Information Technology & Services, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Proofpoint Email Protection It was only possible to select "Ironport Web Security Appliance" but this has nothing to do with emailing.

Verified User Chose Proofpoint Email Protection I was not involved in the side by side with other products. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Proofpoint Email Protection I have used MessageLabs. Instead of relying on signatures and heuristics for spam detection effectiveness, Proofpoint's spam detection is based on machine learning technology and that is really helpful for overall protection. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Proofpoint Email Protection Works very well - probably much better in terms of feature set and customisability. The quality of message filtering is fantastic. But from an administrative perspective it is more difficult to manage than the others. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Proofpoint Email Protection At the time we selected Proofpoint, Mimecast did not offer comparable features. We are planning to evaluate Mimecast in the first quarter of 2020. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Proofpoint Email Protection We currently have Microsoft ATP turned on behind Proofpoint and Proofpoint's TAP. ATP almost never alerts us to any issues due to the filtering by Proofpoint. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Proofpoint Email Protection We had been using Proofpoint for a number of years but there were a few things PP was not doing so well. So we looked at Mimecast and was seriously considering moving to it, however, Mimecast has 1 fatal flaw they were not able to resolve to our satisfaction so we stuck with … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Proofpoint Email Protection I thought that Proofpoint immediately showed improvements over these products and allowed us to become more "granular" than the mentioned products. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Proofpoint Email Protection Proofpoint is the leader of the pack when it comes to email security services. I have used a range of other providers in the space and Proofpoint is the best. It's ability to identify and block malicious email and threats sets it above all other competitors. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Proofpoint Email Protection I belong to a few tech user boards, and compared to Mimecast, Proofpoint's uptime over the past year has been much better.

Verified User Chose Proofpoint Email Protection We evaluated a few other products and found Proofpoint to be the best fit for our organization. Incentivized Helpful? Lorrie Amerson Network Engineer in Information Technology at Eastern Virginia Medical School (Higher Education, 501-1000 employees) Chose Proofpoint Email Protection We used Barracuda at one point but the price was going up and the performance and features went down or went away all together. Proofpoint has definitely proven to be an amazing product. Incentivized Helpful?

Verified User Chose Proofpoint Email Protection Proofpoint stacks up well against competitors, but I'm choosing not to disclose who the platform replaced. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Proofpoint Email Protection I am not sure what else is out there so I can't really speak to how well it stacks up against others. I can say that it seems to be pretty good for us. It's robust and has good customization. It also has other systems within the Proofpoint family that it works with fairly well. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Proofpoint Email Protection It's definitely better and more robust and reliable than our previous solution (McAfee Email Gateway), but when compared to Mimecast they are pretty much on par. Both solutions offer a very good solution to email security. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Proofpoint Email Protection I have used Symantec Brightmail, Cisco Ironport, and Trend Micro Email Security. We selected Trend's product due to the price, but it failed miserably at clustering and overall email delivery.
