Find out what your peers are saying about KnowBe4, Proofpoint, Sophos and others in Security Awareness Training."Provides better control over emails, especially those sent via Office 365 on the cloud."
"Its anti-phishing functionality is the most valuable. Certainly, the biggest problem I have is phishing."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"Its main defense is to stop malicious emails from coming through. There is a sandbox environment where you can open malicious or suspicious emails to make sure that they're not malicious, instead of taking the risk of having your employees do it. This is definitely something that everybody needs nowadays, especially with the rise in cyber attacks."
"The most valuable feature of Proofpoint Email Protection is the dashboards and their visibility, easy configuration, and artificial intelligence. Additionally, the reports are very important and helpful."
"There is no downtime."
"The solution has very strong detection for most of the phishing and malicious emails received from the outside."
"The most valuable feature of Proofpoint Email Protection is the central location dashboard for viewing all the related information for risk."
"The GUI works well and it is really well built."
"The scalability can be improved, and the solution can be optimized."
"Proofpoint should have better integration with complex environments that need more than one instance of Proofpoint, as there are issues with nested instances."
"Proofpoint Email Protection could improve on the training. Every organization is different and to fine-tune it to block everything properly there needs to be better training. Sometimes it can block some of the information it shouldn't."
"It has too many screens. It is kind of a conglomeration of products. In other words, they built product A, product B, and product C, and they are yet to integrate them into a single administrative console. I would certainly like to see a more seamless administrative interface. I would also like to see them include more bang for the buck, by including features like email fraud protection, rather than making their product so piecemeal, where you are buying little pieces. I agree with the idea of having multiple tiers or layers, but maybe as small, medium, and large, as opposed to an a la carte menu."
"The email DLP portion could be a bit easier."
"Proofpoint Email Protection could improve by reducing the price."
"It's scalable, but the devil's in the details — you have to know your email volumes."
"Integration and filtering out who you want and don't want to have integrated ID could be improved."
"The ability for customization has limitations."
