    Proofpoint
    Well suited: Proofpoint does a pretty good job at protecting us from spam emails. I was able to block a lot of emails coming from SendGrid by blocking SendGrid emails with a custom spam filter. However, SendGrid has a lot of legit emails too so I was able to create another rule to allow those emails from certain people, then block the rest. That way business need was met but spam emails are blocked. Less Appropriate If you are trying to monitor internal to internal emails Proofpoint is probably a little over featured for that.

    We use ProofPoint support quite often to fix issues and assist with setting up features and rules. Each time we have created a ticket, they have been very helpful and respectful. Each ticket has been treated with the appropriate SLA time and attention. We also enjoy the regular check-ins from the engineers when tickets are open but we get busy with other tasks.

    We previously used halon anti-spam, which lasted us well until our organization really started to grow and it was not able to keep up with the amount of mail we were receiving. The support is also nothing compared to Proofpoint's professional services offering. Halon was also not able to have the complex rules that Proofpoint can offer.

    • Having easy-to-reach backups of all employee emails has made Proofpoint worth it by itself. That plus the countless times that spam/malicious emails did not make it through to the intended person that could have potentially cost the organization a lot of money.

    ScreenShots

    Hornetsecurity 365 Total Protection Screenshots

    Screenshot of Email Live Tracking with user-defined settings offers users a complete overview of all Emails addressed to them. If an incoming Email has, for example, been classified as spam, you will receive comprehensive information and can individually determine any further interaction. This means that you can always quickly find any email you are searching for and delivery options can be defined for the future.Screenshot of With the help of Infomail Handlings, the inboxes or smartphones of your users will no longer be flooded with newsletters and ad mails. Users are no longer distracted by the constant arrival of unimportant emails, thus making it easier for them to keep track of relevant business matters.Screenshot of Content Control protects your email communication from receiving or sending unwanted or unauthorized file attachments in keeping with your company policy. When running Content Control, umbrella terms and categories (e.g., .docmacro or .executable) may be blocked, for example in the default group (mailboxes that are not allocated to any particular group). For a department such as Marketing, however, the receipt of media files and macros can, on the other hand, be necessary for daily business: In this respect, one can create, for example, a group for the Marketing department and adjust the settings in Content Control so that only potentially dangerous, e.g. executable, file formats are blocked for this group.Screenshot of If an incoming email (e.g. phishing or spam mail) constitutes a threat, the attack is immediately detected by the multi-stage filter systems of 365 Total Protection. Unwanted emails are directly rejected by the Threat Blocking function or detected in later analyses by Threat Intelligence and sent straight to Quarantine. In both cases, these emails will not be delivered to your mailbox.Screenshot of If you do not want to receive emails from one or several specific senders, you can put these on your personal Blacklist. With just one click directly in your in-box the selected senders can be added to the Blacklist to prevent emails from the same sender from being delivered to you in future. If an email from a generally unobjectionable sender lands in Quarantine by mistake, thus appearing in the spam report, the “Whitelist” function can be used. Emails from senders on your Whitelist will always be delivered to your in-box in future.Screenshot of Every email sent out by a company is not only relevant to the business, but is also your company’s business card. In terms of content, a company-wide standardized structure and the completeness of signature datasets are essential. In this context, all email signatures also have the same visual design and layout. This task can also be allocated to the Marketing department or office management via the “What You See is What You Get” editor.
