While deploying ProofPoint Email security Solution on customer sites, I found it best-of-class email security. It has a robust and fantastic APT, Spear Phishing attack detection algorithm. Several fine-tuning features and, above all easy & attractive dashboard for security admins.

Its sandboxing is one the best if compared to any general-purpose sandbox solutions available in the market. During deployment of the ProofPoint email security on customer sites, it was amazing to me that the successful detection rate of malicious emails was practically 99.9 %. I would highly recommend it to those who care for the weakest link in cybersecurity (phishing email).

High cost of the solution. Due to the cost factor, this security solution is out of reach to small organizations. Nevertheless, worth buying it.
