Avanan vs Forcepoint CASB

Likelihood to Recommend

Avanan fits really well for anyone using Office 365 or Google GSuite who is concerned with cyber security. It detects threats which bypass the inbuilt protections in Office 365, and threats which are not detected by standard email filtering solutions. It includes features such as suspicious account logins from multiple geographic locations within a short space of time.It is possible to provide email protection in a Hybrid Exchange environment, but some functionality is lost in this scenario, so may not be the best choice for anyone still using on-premise Exchange servers.

It is a fantastic solution but needs some customization. The automization and AI features will be a huge boost if implemented.

Based on 3 answers

Avanan does what it's supposed to do with regard to protecting your email system. It eliminates a very high number of spoofs, phishes, spam, or other malicious emails from compromising our systems. We found that the prices along with the performance were well worth the investment compared to other comparable options in the market.

Avanan 9.0

Based on 4 answers

The support team have always been quick to respond and helpful, whenever we have reached out to them. They have also taken on feedback for product improvements and have generally implemented these fairly quickly, which is fantastic to see. I really can't fault the support we have received from the team at Avanan.

Alternatives Considered

We selected Avanan based on compelling evidence and performance. The product simply stands up and does so higher than Mimecast, Barracuda, and other such products with a very reasonable price point. It's the most effective weapon against spammers and phishing that we have used to date. Avanan has a human factor that other products do not.

Less contact with the helpdesk now, because users aren't getting emails that are malicious.
It saves time with having to scan computers for viruses when opening certain emails.

We are working on strategies to understand what to do with the information that CASB gave to us, it would be good if Forcepoint gives us a few key points but they haven't.
