Proofpoint

Listed in the vendor table for DLP and Email security and 3 more.

Standing

Not named in 360 answers

Absence in a measured set of answers is a finding, not a verdict: it says the models did not reach for Proofpoint when asked these questions this month. The products they named instead are listed by category below.

By buyer segment

The same categories asked on behalf of a different buyer. Each share and rank is computed within its segment; the columns sit side by side and are never added together.

Claim this page

Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when Proofpoint's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as Proofpoint, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

It does not get any change to labels, shares or verdicts, any preview, or any say over which quotes appear. A verification link goes to your work email; an address at proofpoint.com is approved on the spot, any other address is reviewed by hand.

Your name and company appear on the claimed page, or the company alone if you ask below. A title and a LinkedIn address appear there too if you give them, and are left off if you do not. Your email address is never published.
