Pros & Cons
- Leverages data from millions of analyzed apps, billions of messages, and real-time sensor data to detect a wide range of mobile threats.
- Protects BYOD environments: by providing extensive security for both corporate and employee-owned devices, offering varying levels of privacy controls to accommodate BYOD policies.
- It analyzes app behavior to determine risks, even for apps that aren't overtly malicious, helping prevent data loss.
- Automate remediation tasks, such as alerting users to remove risky apps and quarantining devices if necessary.
- Broad threat detection identifies and blocks malware, phishing attacks, and malicious Wi-Fi networks.
- Some Proofpoint users (specifically for Insider Threat Management) have reported sluggish UI and frequent crashes, which could potentially apply to other products.
- Requires companion solutions to work in conjunction with other MDM/EMM tools, meaning it is not a standalone solution for mobile management.
- Brand confusion. Some products with similar names can cause confusion and may have their own reviews and feature sets.
- Pricing can vary significantly depending on the Proofpoint suite, with enterprise pricing often requiring a quote.
