Secure Email Gateway
Comparison of Secure Email Gateway features of Product A and Product B
MailWasher is a determined, flexible email filter, where all the spams get the necessary deleting feature. Further, MailWasher supports prior reading, where any content gets the second preview to affirm it is okay. Again, in case of any accidental deleting, MailWasheris there to restore all the emails, as they are found in a recycle bin.
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.
The pricing is high and there are many licenses for things I feel should be part of other products.
The UI is slightly dated and has a lot of room for improvement.
The separate products should have one pane of glass for administration. Currently, if you own several of the products it feels quite disjointed when using them.
Very robust and solid product in protecting our emails. The engineers who assisted with our implementation was very knowledgable and great to work with. Easy to use by end-users. Administration and management are also easy for IT. Great dashboard and reporting tools for business reviews.
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.
MailWasher has a friendly recycle bin, which automatically restores those emails deleted, in case something wants to be confirmed. Further, MailWasher has a robust filtering capacity, is very attentive, friendly, and manages the available chances of threats. More so, MailWasher has the feature of previewing any content, immediately before it gets shared to the required groups or players.
Proofpoint Email Protection allows configuration and granularity that far exceeds those features we'd been able to use with the Barracuda Email Security Gateway product. In addition, the robust Proofpoint reporting features give us and our decision makers much improved detail to make informed decisions about our security posture.
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.
