    Its modules predominantly function via the cloud, rendering it exceptionally convenient for users. Its design based on the cloud liberates us from the burden of upkeeping the infrastructure.

    It is great out of the box and uses AI and machine learning to identify threats with minimal input. It does need to be configured and tuned to meet the needs of the organisation. Industry specific software that sends or receives emails may be affected by this product.

    Proofpoint offers a lot of products, but they are not particularly well integrated. They all look different, and there is no central location to access them all from, which is disappointing. However, I do know they have a big push for upgrading the UI and usability, so this should improve in the coming months I hope.

    Even though the product is good, the support can be lacking at times. The support needs to know their product inside and out, but there are times in which we figure out things before their support does. I feel as if we should not be able to fix issues that their support cant fix, hence the main reason for support.

    Proofpoint's Advanced Threat Protection, in the past, has identified threats whereby Microsoft's Advanced Threat Protection did not.

    • PP blocks 5-10 emails per day which are spam or malicious
    • I only get a small number of emails per week which are spam
    • The only malicious emails I receive are from our internal security team which bypasses the PP threat protection
