it is a good tool for email filtering that helps to avoid a lot of spam and can apply automation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

is not easy to understand the tool; we had to have sessions to get it configured. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It stops all the unwanted mails coming directly to your inbox & then gives you one option to check what they blocked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing to say here as all the features are good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the SMTP discovery method of address collection. The fact you can also sync to Azure AD, AD or upload manually gives the flexibility to handle pretty much any email scenario out there.

The quarantine notification with preview and release options direct in the user email set it apart from many of its competitors, (although many are scrambling to add that feature, or so they assure me). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like that you can't delete emails from quarantine. When I get a quarantine digest I'd prefer to be able to delete, or at least mark that I've acknowledged and discarded an email. Currently there is no way to do that.

I'd like the ability to link SMTP discovery with AzureAD Sync so that I can manage multiple mail flows for a single client in one customer account. Currently I have to run 2 customer account for the different mail systems in use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Much better in terms of Spam detection and also link protection , It will scan any links in our incoming mail and check whether it's genuine. Earlier we were using Trend micro email security and i find proof point much better in terms of spam detection and protecting the endpoints form clicking on unwanted links in the mails. Since its a cloud product the loading time of the interface may take some time , at times i find the UI very run responsive but that will not be a issue as it will be temporary for some minutes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can't say it as a demerit but what i dislike the most with proof point is that for quarantined mails bulk delete option is shown and sometimes some bulk mails getting listed in the quarantined folder needs to be deleted one by one. like if am getting multiple spam mails from a single mail id i should be given the option to deleted the same . But for our convenience they have given an option to hide those types. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the things I like is the ability to set how many times you receive notifications. I have mine set to twice a day, just so I can review smaller amounts of quarantined mail in case something that requires immediate attention has gotten scooped up. That has only happened once or twice in the three or four years we have used Proofpoint. Of course, you can set it to receive less often, too.

Normally, I don't even have to log onto the site, as the notification email has enough detail about quarantined items for me to determine they can be ignored. Not having to click to to take a closer look at those items is a time saver. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's really not much I dislike... Sorry, can't really think of one thing. It did take a little time for me to teach myself to navigate the site in order to search for quarantined items, but by that, I mean a couple of minutes. But overall, it's pretty intuitive to use.

Normally, I don't even have to log into the site, as the email notifications I receive provide enough information for me to determine that everything there is spam that I can ignore. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have absolutely nothing that I like about this software. The intent is there, but it does not work as it should at this time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Proofpoint shields my email from spam supposedly. I will typically tell the software to block a sender that has been sending me information, but it wont actually block them, I have to allow it through, and then block them myself through my personal email, to actually stop getting emails from them, otherwise, every single day, I will get the SAME email that I already asked it to block and remove popping back up, along with others, most of the time from the same source. Proofpoint will miss most actual spam messages, and block unnecessary messages. When I ask it to approve an email message, then it has to go through yet another scan before it can be sent to my inbox, it doesn't actually release it half of the time, even though it is an email I am expecting.

Catches most of the junk mail spam/phishing messages. I have a few regular emails that do not come through - but I love that I get an email summary with the emails that are quarantined. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Emails that are not spam are quarantined. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The way that the emails come in its very obvious that you've received a secure message. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Logging in and out is a challenge to just receive emails. Passwords get reset often and it can be challenging to remember which one you've used. Messages time out, as well, so if you dig through your emails so that you can get the information again, it may have timed out so you'll have to request a new key.
