Frequently Asked Questions About Proofpoint Essentials Pricing & Plans

How much does Proofpoint Essentials cost per user?

Proofpoint Essentials starts at $3.93 per user per month for Business, $5.37 for Advanced, and $8.14 for Professional. Each tier also has a Plus variant — Business+ ($4.86), Advanced+ ($5.87), and Professional+ ($9.42) — which adds AI-powered BEC detection and Email Warning Tags. Pricing decreases at volume tiers. As an authorized Proofpoint partner, Iron Cove can provide exact quotes including any current promotions within one business day.

What is the cheapest Proofpoint Essentials plan?

The cheapest plan is Business at $3.93 per user per month. It includes spam filtering with 99.9% accuracy, phishing protection, email continuity, and data loss prevention. There is no minimum user count — you can start with 1 user. Business+ at $4.86/user/month is the next step up and adds AI-powered BEC detection and Email Warning Tags.

Does Proofpoint Essentials pricing include setup fees or contracts?

No. Iron Cove Solutions charges no setup fees and requires no annual contract. Proofpoint Essentials is billed month-to-month starting at $3.93 per user per month. You can add or remove users at any time and cancel without penalty. Quarterly and semi-annual billing are also available.

Which Proofpoint Essentials package should I choose?

Business ($3.93/user/month) covers core spam and phishing filtering with the Emergency Inbox. Advanced ($5.37) adds URL Defense and Attachment Defense sandboxing. Professional ($8.14) adds email encryption, DLP, and 10-year archiving. Most small and mid-size businesses land on Advanced — it covers phishing-link attacks that drive the majority of breaches. Call (213) 545-0601 and we can map your requirements to the right tier in 15 minutes.

What is Proofpoint Essentials?

Proofpoint Essentials is enterprise-grade email security packaged for small and mid-size businesses. It sits in front of Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace and filters spam, phishing, malware, and imposter email before it reaches inboxes — using the same threat intelligence Proofpoint provides to most of the Fortune 100. It includes an Emergency Inbox for email continuity if your mail platform goes down.

How do I set up Proofpoint Essentials with Microsoft 365?

Setup has four steps: add and verify your domain in the Proofpoint Essentials console, create an inbound connector in Exchange Online restricted to Proofpoint's IP ranges, update your MX records to point to Proofpoint's assigned stack, and update your SPF record to include Proofpoint's sending infrastructure. Iron Cove handles the full configuration for every new customer — no technical setup required on your end.

What MX records do I use for Proofpoint Essentials?

Your MX records depend on your assigned stack. US2 customers use mx1-us2.ppe-hosted.com and mx2-us2.ppe-hosted.com. The exact values appear in your Essentials console under Domains. After cutover, all inbound mail flows through Proofpoint for filtering before delivery to Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace.

What is the Proofpoint Emergency Inbox?

The Emergency Inbox is built-in email continuity. If Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace goes down, users log into Proofpoint directly to read and send email from the last 30 days of spooled mail. When your platform recovers, everything synchronizes back automatically — no messages are lost during the outage. Included with all Proofpoint Essentials plans.

Does Proofpoint Essentials work with Google Workspace and Microsoft 365?

Yes — Essentials is built for both. It filters mail in front of either platform via MX records, and provides an Outlook add-in plus quarantine digest emails so users can release false positives themselves. Note: Proofpoint requires a custom domain — it does not work with personal Gmail or Yahoo addresses.

What's included in the Plus packages that makes them different from standard packages?

Plus packages include four exclusive features: Predictive URL Defense for advanced threat detection, One-Click Message Pull for quick incident response, Advanced BEC Detection powered by Supernova technology with 3X better detection, and Email Warning Tags to alert users of suspicious content. These features are only available in Business+, Advanced+, and Professional+ tiers.

Which plans include email encryption and how does it work?

Email encryption is included in the Advanced, Advanced+, Professional, and Professional+ packages. It is not available in the Business or Business+ tiers. Proofpoint automatically detects sensitive content using AI and encrypts emails before delivery using AES 256-bit encryption. Recipients access encrypted messages through a secure web portal.

Does this work with Yahoo or Gmail email addresses?

No, this service does not work with Gmail or Yahoo addresses. If you want your @gmail address to work with filtering, it will not. A true custom domain is required.

Can I get a discount if I pay annually for Proofpoint Essentials?

We don't offer discounts on Proofpoint products, as our pricing is already the lowest in the USA. Proofpoint doesn't support annual agreements either. However, we provide flexible payment options including quarterly or semi-annual billing to accommodate client preferences.

Does the email archiving meet compliance requirements like SEC-17A?

Essentials Archive does not meet specific archiving rules like SEC-17A. It provides a 10-year retention policy and legal hold functionality, but does not cover many compliance rules and regulations. For specific compliance requirements, please consult with our team to determine if additional solutions are needed.

Do I need to change MX records to use Proofpoint with Microsoft 365?

No, you do not need to change your MX Record to use Proofpoint with Microsoft 365. This is a new feature that streamlines deployment with enhanced Microsoft 365 integration. However, you will need to change your MX records if you're not using Office 365.

Can I limit email encryption to only certain users?

Unfortunately, email encryption is domain-wide and you cannot select just a handful of users. The encryption service applies to all users within your domain.

What are Email Warning Tags and how do they protect my organization?

Email Warning Tags are labels added to messages that alert recipients about potential security issues. They identify external senders, suspicious domains, DMARC policy issues, newly created domains, and other risk factors. This helps users identify phishing attempts. Available exclusively in Plus plans.

Can I archive my email for Office 365 or Microsoft 365 with Proofpoint?

Yes — you can archive your Microsoft 365 (Office 365 Exchange Online) email with Proofpoint. The archive is a barebones archive. After activation, all emails moving forward are archived and available for retention, search, and retrieval based on your configured policies. Keep in mind that this is a basic archiving solution and does not automatically backfill or import historical email unless separately configured. Archiving begins from the date the service is turned on and continues going forward.

How can I find my MX Record?

Use the MX Toolbox tool to find all accurate DNS, MX and other records.

Are you hosting outside of Google Workspace or Microsoft 365?

Our setup support is limited to Google Workspace and Microsoft 365, along with the services we directly support. For third-party hosting services, we can provide configuration guidance only to the extent covered by the applicable Proofpoint documentation. Local, cPanel, or on-premises servers are the responsibility of the buyer — configuration, maintenance, troubleshooting, and ongoing support for local servers are not included in our services.
