"Proofpoint provides the first line of defense against malicious emails for our team."

3.5/5

What do you like best about Proofpoint Sendmail Open Source?

I like that proofpoint has the capability to filter out potentially unwanted emails before the end user even has a chance to open malicious messages. The ability to go in review and see all the emails that passed through and what was quarantined is a bug positive as it gives the user an idea of what is being stopped and allowed and even allows for additional customization.

What do you dislike about Proofpoint Sendmail Open Source?

I dislike how strict the filter is. I have since gone in and modified and allowed some addresses to pass through the filter but it delayed a pivotal testing phase for an alpha software pivotal to progression in my field. This may be a special circumstance but it is the only complaint I have thus far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
