We took advantage of a "promotional pricing" in order for us to purchase ProofPoint back in 2016. So far has served us well and it worth the investment if you can afford. Spams and phishing have been reduced considerably but indeed this product is very expensive. Alex Adao On Fri, May 24, 2019 at 8:44 AM Frank Barton <bartonf () husson edu> wrote:
We have looked at enabling the "time-of-click" protection on our Sophos Email Appliance (does part of what ProofPoitn and Mimecast does), but it would involve changing our email flow Are any of those of you that are using these services using Google Apps as your email?

We have just completed a POC with Proof Point which I feel is a great product/service we just cannot afford the price tag. Currently we are looking at Mimecast to do another POC with to compare the two. I would like to get anyone’s feedback to the following questions in regards to Proof Point or Mimecast: · why you picked one over the other, · if you switched from one to the other why, · what you like best of either, or · most importantly what you didn’t like. Also is there another product/service you prefer that would be great to know. A little about our environment: For the last 30 days, our average daily email stats look like: email sent: 11,855 email received: 92,692 total mailboxes: 17,000 active mailboxes: 8,168 We use Office365 Exchange with A1 licensing. Currently our heaviest attack vector is Email (with IMAP password discovery, discovered during our POC with Proof Point) with Alumni accounts being compromised most often. Regards, *Allen A.
