    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.

    You can add a lot of agents to your environment if you need them. And you can operate hardware appliances and virtual appliances in the same cluster.

    Return on Investment
    Lux Scientiae (LuxSci)
    • Cost-effective. I manage (poorly) multiple websites myself & with the help of Luxsci tech support.
    • Generally, things work.
    • I wish they had more info on what I think are common issues with websites or email.
