Proofpoint Insider Threat Management Likes & Dislikes

Like

I believe the depth of context it provides around user actions is awesome. Allows screen captures, file movements and application usage to be reviewed in one place. Reduces investigation time to determine if flagged activity is risky behavior.

Like

Our TAM has made our ProofPoint experience better than average.

Like

Screenshot Capabilities, Historical Analysis, Historical Logging, Data and Information provided by the tool.

Dislike

We have experienced a high number of false positives, requiring tuning to reduce the noise. This isn't a unique issue as most insider threat management platforms generate false positive alerts that require tuning. Integration with other tools would be a nice feature but I believe Proofpoint has accounted for this with their new line of products. More good things to come.

Dislike

Speed and efficiency of RFE implementation

Dislike

licensing requirements on a per agent basis.

    Insider Threat Management Endpoint Delivers Fast Investigations and Data Accessibility

    5.0
    Sep 24, 2025
    The insider threat management end point is a very unique tool. The tool does allow its administrators to go above and beyond with investigations when it comes to "Insider Threats". An insider can be a new employee, a departing employee, or someone who accesses a machine with an agent on it. The functionality, ease of deployment, and manageability provides myself and team quick investigations, quick response times, and allows my organization to provide the required teams with the necessary data to make good decisions.
