Highly effective email security platform
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Proofpoint Advanced Threat Protection from other similar products?
The depth of tools available for securing email and the integration of the education platform.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
I really like the ability of users to report email for analysis and the TRAP/CLEAR functionality that will pull threats from all mailboxes across the organization. This is a real time saver and helps to secure all mailboxes as soon as a threat is identified.

My single biggest complaint is that all the product components are split into separate portals. It would be really great if they could bring all the components into a single environment.
