At times, the system flags legitimate emails as suspicious, which requires manual release of the email. This requires a user to login, search for the email and release, then follow up with user to confirm the email is accessible in their inbox. At times, feedback from the customer service team can take the entire SLA time for a response to be received. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Proofpoint Core Email Protection to protect all incoming emails, and it does a great job of eliminating spam, phishing, viruses, and impersonation emails along with malicious links. I really appreciate the complete software package that makes our email much more secure. I also like that it allows for phishing simulations to test our users, which saves us from having to buy a separate software package. Setting up Proofpoint Core Email Protection was very easy, which was a big plus for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Seriously... it just works! I know that sounds silly but it does the best at protecting our environment. We don't have any problems with making changes, searching to release emails, and just overall administration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If I had to pick on thing... it would be their support. It could do a little better when calling in with a trouble ticket. It's not horrible, but it's not outstanding either. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Customer support is great and quick to respond. The system overall works great and filters over 10K+ emails that are spam and junk from our system daily. We use it for heightened security to block potential bad actors as well Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are currently operating with a hybrid model that incorporates both on-premises and cloud architectures.

It gets the job done. Honestly, what keeps me motivated are the genuine experiences and feedback from my clients. For example, during the first six months with our previous email protection solution, we faced several major incidents. But in the past half year with this one, we've had none at all. That's incredible—no incidents whatsoever. It simply works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
