Netskope vs Strac: Simpler, more affordable pricing, and so secure Strac can preemptively anticipate and neutralize cybersecurity threats

Limited compliance, no customizable data redaction, fewer SaaS integrations

  • Proofpoint is a cybersecurity company that provides basic data loss prevention (DLP) features. However, it lacks critical features beyond email security. It falls short in comprehensive compliance, relying on limited role concepts and setting options. Its search functionality is slow, and it struggles to filter out spam emails, failing to meet modern data security needs.
  • Additionally, Proofpoint does not integrate well with Google services and lacks robust API support, making it difficult to connect with other tools. It only offers endpoint DLP without machine learning or OCR models for detecting sensitive data in images or PDFs, and its limited SaaS integrations further reduce its overall effectiveness.

Comprehensive compliance, customizable data redaction, 30+ No Code SaaS integrations

  • Strac is an affordable, robust Proofpoint alternative that offers comprehensive protection across SaaS and cloud services.
