“PE DLP Delivers Strong Performance but With Complex Configuration Hurdles”

4.0
Jul 17, 2025
A generally positive experience with PE DLP. If offered very good and email-based data protection, very solid policy controls, though rollout was drawn and intense, with a lot of major policy tuning to reduce false positives.. Was it worth it? Yes. Was it a chore? Yes.

Proofpoint Enterprise Data Loss Prevention (DLP) Likes & Dislikes

Like

Very accurate in catching sensitive data, their Smart Identifiers were good and precise, policy engine was consistent across email and endpoints, good centralized management, fairly streamlined UI (refreshed relatively recently!) and UX for search and investigations. Detection and prevention logic was reliable.

1. It accurately detects and flags sensitive information, especially things like PII or financial data. 2. It catches risky content without blocking legitimate communication. 3. The reporting interface is easy to use and access.

Dislike

Not for the faint of heart. Initial setting up was, as stated, a chore, a highly complex grind that lasted longer than anticipated, but it was within reason... mostly. If you err in configuration, you'll be rewarded with a bunch of FPs, so attention is necessary. MacOS agents were not stable, but that wasn't much of an issue as our PC fleet is mostly Windows (and Proofpoint is, in all its aspects, Windows-friendly). That being said, there's not much in way of customization in the UI.

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

Dislike

One thing I found a bit bothersome was how complex some of the policy creation steps were. The UI can definitely be improved here. It lacks pre-built templates, limited tools etc.

    Email Channel Protection Strong, But User Interface Complexity Presents Challenges

    Jul 7, 2025
    We've been using Proofpoint Enterprise DLP for a little over a year now, and it has definitely strengthened our data security posture. The product is quiet effective in identifying sensitive data and preventing leaks, especially via email channels.
