Deep integration with Proofpoint email security.
If your organisation already uses Proofpoint for email filtering and threat intelligence, the SAT module plugs in cleanly. Threat data from the email gateway informs simulation targeting.
SimuPhish vs Proofpoint Security Awareness · Side-by-side comparison
SimuPhish vs Proofpoint Security Awareness. The honest breakdown.
Proofpoint's security awareness product integrates tightly with their email security suite. If you already run Proofpoint for email protection, their SAT module is a natural add-on. As a standalone phishing simulation platform it lags: no AI-native lure generation, no autonomous campaigns, no multi-vector simulation, and the best features are only available inside the Proofpoint ecosystem.

Where Proofpoint wins
What Proofpoint does well. Honestly.
We don’t do hit pieces. This is a fair account of where Proofpoint genuinely leads.
Enterprise compliance training library.
A large library of regulatory compliance training content, well-suited to organisations with formal annual training requirements across multiple jurisdictions.
Established enterprise trust.
Proofpoint is a recognised name in enterprise security procurement. CISO-level buyers in regulated industries know and trust the brand.
Where SimuPhish wins
The SimuPhish difference. Across every region.
AI-native. Multi-vector. Deployed across EMEA, APAC, and the Americas.
A standalone platform, not an afterthought.
SimuPhish was built to be the primary tool, not a module inside a larger suite. Every feature, every update, and every integration exists to make phishing simulation better.
Autonomous AI campaigns across five vectors.
SimuHDR runs self-directing multi-vector campaigns. Proofpoint's awareness product requires manual configuration and is email-only.
MENA coverage Proofpoint does not provide.
SimuPhish ships Gulf-Arabic dialect content and MENA regulatory mappings. Proofpoint's Arabic support is generalised translation, not culturally or linguistically native.
SimuPhish operates across EMEA, APAC, and the Americas — with Gulf-Arabic dialect content, MENA regulatory mappings (SAMA, NESA, NCA), and a London hub for European deployments.
The verdict
Who should choose what.
