Powerful Email Security

Our company was using another email gateway product, which was placed before o365 gateway. We replaced it with Avanan, this comes after o365 gateway. Meaning there is a Microsoft ATP protection first and followed by Avanan. Avanan also has re-writing of links. Any other gateway in market has its on header and when a link is hovered in the email then that header makes it difficult to read for any user. Avanan allows rewriting of links wherein whenever a user hover over the link then the exact link is being shown. Support is world wide, we have office in EMEA region and also in asian countries therefore a global support is must for an organization like ours. Now, if the technical lead will put the support request then it is answered immediately. Number of issues we had been logging in have reduced, administrative results were noticeable and outstanding. Difference can be noticed. Work of Security team and administration team has really reduced. Avanan know the difference between spam and phishing, we can write or choose different rules of action for a spam or for a phishing email. Group policy can be different for different region. IT team or IT admin are not required for taking actions, user can take action by themselves
  • they know the difference between spam and phishing emails
  • Reduced administration work
  • More specific security
  • Global Support
Cons
  • I have no complaints. Avanan was brought in to solve a problem and they worked

This tool protects our mailboxes from phishing email attacks. My most favourite feature is hyperlink check which checks the hyperlinks in the emails to confirm legality of those website links.
  • If any threat is detected it will send an alert
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • It acts as overprotective and flags non threat emails. Threat alerts are not trustable at all times.
It’s important that all companies should protect their data privacy. Avanan protects companies from data loss and secures data. It blocks all types of internet threats and protects our mailbox from malicious attacks.

It's used across the organisation. It solves all our email security problems on our business emails and protects all our users from external threats. Email security is the biggest challenge in any organization and once we implemented Avanan, our emails are completely secured from external threats and malware and shadow issues
  • Cloud email security
  • Ease of use
  • Cost effective
Cons
  • Channel management
  • Local support and resources
  • Gateway email security
For Outlook, Avanan is the best email security product. For cloud email security, Avanan is the best email security solution. For gateway email security, Avanan is not well suited as it does not have all the features which some of the other solution in the gateway email security space already have. There is room for improvement there.

In a business such as ours that relies on email, this product cuts down on the noise a great deal, allowing us to focus more on business company-wide. Avanan mitigates at least 95% of all spam and phishing emails that threaten our business in real-time. Their DLP functionality warns us if any PII or PCI makes it way outbound and stops that email at the gate and allows us to deny a possible breach of sensitive data.
  • Spam and phishing mitigation
  • DLP
  • Customer support
Cons
  • UI can be unwieldly at times, but they're continuing to improve on it.
  • Ability to block by TLD country code (e.g.: .jp or .cn).
Avanan seems to be appropriate for any size organization. Inline processing is swift and effective. This product put control in both the user and IT staff, depending on your needs. I can't imagine a scenario where it's not appropriate. It's well suited to all industries and organizations and does it better than most other products.

Easy to use email security!

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.
