Find out what your peers are saying about KnowBe4, Proofpoint, Sophos and others in Security Awareness Training."It was easy to set up."
"The tool has improved our workflow by ensuring people receive only the emails they need for work rather than being inundated with hundreds or thousands of unnecessary emails daily."
"The spam filter for email is good."
"Proofpoint Email Protection is a good product, and its most beneficial feature is the Threat Response Auto-Pull. I also like that it's an integrated email security 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 Phish Alarm button allows users to submit questionable emails for review and complete analysis."
"It's a mature product. It does a good job in detection."
"Proofpoint is the main tool for blocking spam because it denies the connection altogether."
"Most valuable is the SSO integration with our AD, so the users can employ our federation service to log in."
"Proofpoint Email Protection could improve by reducing the price."
"Proofpoint Email Protection could improve the Mail Trace feature and make navigation easier."
"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."
"You only receive one model in Proofpoint Email Protection and the other ones you have to purchase at a high price. There should be more available with the solution and additional models should be less expensive."
"We find the cost to be prohibitive."
"They do not have an on-demand scan for the internal viruses and internal users, and they don't have a scan for the exchange server against viruses and spam as Symantec does."
"The incident reporting on offer needs to be improved. It's lacking right now. It should be on the platform somewhere."
"The initial setup is complex."
"We would like to create reports for local IT leaders in a different way, more suitable for upper management."
