Proofpoint Enterprise Data Loss Prevention (DLP) Likes & Dislikes

Like

The ability for DLP to work across multiple applications is a plus. It is amazing how the product is able to adapt on the fly when needed and the implementation is fairly easy.

Like

DLP is fully customizable from go

Like

The ability to classify data, the ability to notify attempted breaches of DLP, and swift blocking and/or remediation

Dislike

The initial setup can be a bit challenging, but once you get the hang of it and understand the process, it is fairly intuitive and simply needs a proper process to implement effectively.

Dislike

Visual bugs upon config with DLP reading and scanning - open ticket with Proofpoint on this, been a few months and is still open

Dislike

the fact that it has it's own portal login and not a single pane of glass. Missing SSO functionality. Can be difficult to configure.
