Proofpoint Archive Likes & Dislikes

Like

Though i am no longer an administrator of the product and just a 'user', i feel the search functionality was always the best. the product also follows the compliance requirements so there are no issues with wondering if legal/regulatory obligations are being followed.

Like

Easy to use Stores all of our email for 2 years Users can access other user archives with a request.

Like

Archive Access Quarantine and Sender list management Administrative User management

Dislike

The interface (gui) isn't as modern and gives you a somewhat oudated feel. Also it doesn't affect the product's functionality, it would be great to see an update so it's more user friendly/appealing.

Dislike

Duplicates are visible in the archive Sometimes support takes a long time to respond Some users think it's difficult to navigate if not taught

Dislike

The Archive home page could use a bit of a refresh on layout and design, but the solution is rock solid.
