Shortlist Proofpoint when the security team's problem starts in mailboxes: phishing, malicious links, attachments or impersonation. Validate mail routing, administrator review and user reporting in the actual tenant.
The operational value is visible when analysts can trace a reported message, decide whether similar mail reached others and act without confusing product boundaries.
