It's a good product with features to manage email and file sharing security and helps manage and track all the traffic integrated with it. It mainly helps with malware and phishing emails within our email client. The UI is user-friendly and can be accessed from anywhere. Adding or changing policies is granular and easy to set up. It has custom filters, which can be very useful when trying to find custom queries. Similarly, the Mail explorer feature helps find the mails within all our users. All and all, it is a great tool with features that can be turned more advanced. Overall, It helped us stop plenty of phishing emails and differentiate the emails which are legit. It even helped us with drive anomalies and malware which we were able to quickly mitigate by cross-referencing with hash databases.
  • Shadow IT, is the best way to find out where the office email is being used.
  • Good at stopping phishing mails
  • Helps stop google drive anomalies
Cons
  • User interface
  • Malware false positive detection
Avanan is well suited for mail protection and to have malware detection for file sharing platforms.

Avanan is our premium email security option for our clients. It is in use across several different client markets and it has provided a high level of protection from phishing and scam attempts. We have been impressed with the onboarding experience as well as the continual support from Avanan. The product has performed the best out of several alternatives we tried.
  • Ease of setup. Takes literally minutes.
  • High level of protection
  • Easy to understand reporting
Cons
  • More MSP-focused features
  • A multi-tenant dashboard
Highly recommend for law firms, other professional services businesses. Avanan provides a high level of email security without causing delays or impediments to the end user.

I am a reseller & MSP. We help our customers to choose the right security products for their infrastructure. We mainly choose Avanan since it is an API-based solution that sits behind the M365 default security layer, hence truly providing the additional layer of protection for M365.
1. No changes in MX records or SPF records hence protected from targeted attacks.
2. Avanan sits behind the default M365 security hence truly adding an additional layer of protection.
3. Default email security from M365 is not bypassed.
4. Protect entire M365 suits including email, teams, one drive & SharePoint which is unique.
5. Scans internal emails as well.
6. Inline protection will scan & protect before the email is delivered in the user mailbox unlike other API vendors.
7. A very strong anti-phishing engine that is smart-phishing and patented inline protection which will protect from the attacks before the email is getting delivered to the user mailbox.
  • Protect the entire cloud suit (eg: email, teams, sharepoint , onedrive, slack etc).
  • No need to change MX record or SPF. No bypassing of default O365 email security hence providing a true multi-layer protection.
  • Scans internal emails as well.
  • Inline protection will scan & protect before the email is delivered to the user mailbox.
  • Very strong anti-phishing engine, very less false positives and a well tuned AI.
  • Shadow IT & Anomaly detections.
  • DLP, sandboxing and email encryption features are available and flexible to choose from different licensing model.
  • Very good MSP model business.
  • Very easy to setup and configure. No downtime required for email services and the setup take hardly 10 minutes.
Cons
  • I would like to see the sandboxing as a feature with the basic licenses.
  • Awareness training is an impressive feature to have.
Avanan is well suited for companies using M365 or Gsuite solution. It is well suited to use as an additional layer of protection for M365 MTP or other email security gateway solutions such as Mimecast or Proofpoint etc.. It is appropriate for customers who want to protect the entire suits such as Email, Teams, One Drive ,Sharepoint etc. Avanan is a great product which comes with a specific price range and that is very reasonable but not cheap. So it is not appropriate for customers looking for a very low budget.

We currently use Avanan across the whole organization. We use it for protecting our emails in terms of phishing primarily, but also for monitoring and protecting Sharepoint/Onedrive.

We recently deployed the tool in a partner company that is currently using Google Workspace (formerly G Suite). In that case, we implemented the tool for filtering emails and monitoring Google Drive.
  • Filter and quarantine phishing attempts
  • Protect against impersonation
  • Protect against data loss (DLP)
Cons
  • They need to make a mobile app
If you need a simple tool (that works great), and it's easy to implement for filtering malicious emails and DLP, Avanan is a great choice. We are currently using Avanan on Office 365 and Google Workspace Suite environments and in both the tool works great.

In comparison with Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP), Avanan is way less expensive and easier to work with.
