	Proofpoint Security Awareness Training
Considered Both Products	Proofpoint Rodrigo Henrique Marketing and Product Manager in Marketing at Gantech Information Safety (Retail, 11-50 employees) Chose Proofpoint Security Awareness Training Due to Proofpoint large experience on phishing/e-mail protection market. This analysis ran through financial decisions, but the product capabilities were a important aspect to the decision makers. Incentivized Helpful? Mike Kelley CISO (Chief Information Security Officer) in Information Technology at EW Scripps (Broadcast Media, 5001-10,000 employees) Chose Proofpoint Security Awareness Training We chose Proofpoint Security Awareness Training because we already use their email gateway. The combination of these two are very powerful! Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Proofpoint Security Awareness Training We felt Proofpoint product was easier to use and administer. Proofpoint also had better features like PhishAlarm button, VAP reports, TRAP etc. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Proofpoint Security Awareness Training Proofpoint is not on par with its competitors. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Proofpoint Security Awareness Training We ultimately chose Proofpoint because it was the best fit for our company with regard to our internal technology, processes, and budget. However, the other products we reviewed all had their strengths. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Proofpoint Security Awareness Training I think that Proofpoint Security Awareness Training pricing is one of the main reasons that we went with them. We only have the lowest tier, and it does a pretty good job for what we pay. We are using Proofpoint for our email security solution, so we ended up saving some money … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Proofpoint Security Awareness Training Their support was what really drew us to them. Incentivized Helpful? Dianna Moses Sr Training Specialist in Human Resources at Logicalis (Information Technology and Services, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Proofpoint Security Awareness Training I have used both and can say they are comparable. KnowBe4 has all the content out there for the admin to add but Proofpoint only had a limited number of courses available per the contract. Seems like KnowBe4 has more content or allows more per bundle. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Proofpoint Security Awareness Training The decision was based on the ease of use and the better security awareness material at Proofpoint. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Proofpoint Security Awareness Training We have not used other security training. Proofpoint Security Awareness Training has been our first selection. We have been happy with the purchase! We have also created some training in-house, but we like that Proofpoint gives us the flexibility to train our staff on other … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Proofpoint Security Awareness Training We have selected Proofpoint Security Awareness Traning to work on the major weakness of the cybersecurity chain (human factor). We believe that working on the human factor is fundamental to achieve our goals. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Proofpoint Security Awareness Training We initially shopped two products: Proofpoint Security Awareness Training (at the time, it was called Wombat) and Cofense PhishMe. After some extensive internal testing in the IT department, we concluded that Proofpoint's robust reporting and pre-baked content (tests, guides, … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Proofpoint Security Awareness Training The "Managed Service" (a dedicated ProofPoint Account Rep c/w weekly status calls) significantly reduces the resource demand on the area within your company managing the program. The KnowBe4 Platform does all the same stuff (Training Modules, Reports, ThreatSim Tools), but you … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Proofpoint Security Awareness Training Wombat is our first security awareness vendor Incentivized Helpful? Nicole McMillian Cyber Security Analyst in Information Technology at Associated Wholesale Grocers (Food & Beverages, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Proofpoint Security Awareness Training Proofpoint was the only company we looked at. We had heard from other companies using the product how great it was and we were excited to implement it. I don't think there is another company that is in the market place that even comes close to what they offer. We are happy … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Proofpoint Security Awareness Training Our team decided to go with Proofpoint prior to me being involved, so I was not involved in the assessment. However, I do believe that PhishMe was the tool that we used before. I am not sure of the exact reasons for the switch, but we are very happy with Proofpoint. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Proofpoint Security Awareness Training I think Wombat beats most of its competitors by default by simply being another piece of the Proofpoint security platform. Other phishing platforms do not have this additional piece, so you will end up paying for a phishing awareness software and also an email security platform … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Proofpoint Security Awareness Training At the time we selected Proofpoint (Wombat) they appeared to have the best solution. They have a simple to use interface and the phishing platform was quite impressive. However, over time I have found that their training catalog is not as large as it could be. KnowBe4 has … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Proofpoint Security Awareness Training We selected Proofpoint, because originally Wombat was a local company to us and many people in the area were using the product. It got great reviews from others technology directors in our area, which made the decisions easy to make. Incentivized Helpful?

Verified User Chose Proofpoint Security Awareness Training We already used ProofPoint so we thought it would be a better fit. The other products may have looked better but pricing was good. Do not increase pricing. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Proofpoint Security Awareness Training I think Proofpoint's design and training are the best in the bunch, but the other products certainly hold their own. Incentivized Helpful?
