Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Avanan is the best I have used when it comes to email threat protection. Emails threats are rampant in current business environment and can result to immeasurable damages. These threats include email phishing activities, spamming, and malware. With Avanan, we have not had such incidences and it offers 24/7 and 365 days protection. In addition, it offers other great features such as post delivery protection, data loss protection and email encryption which comes as a plus.
Pros
  • Email threat detection and protection
  • Sending emails and messages securely
  • Post delivery protection
  • Avanan is customizable
  • Sandboxing
Cons
  • Avanan is costly
Likelihood to Recommend
Any business can never go wrong with Avanan more so when it comes to protecting business email systems from threats such as spamming, phishing, and malware.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Avanan is an end-to-end security provider for emails, phishing attacks, spam attacks, ransomware, and unwanted link within emails and google docs. Avanan provides extra security layer protection over the existing security layer of email provider which is Microsoft Office 365 in our case. overall the best email protection suite to save from all threats and attacks.
Pros
  • phishing attacks detection
  • breach detection
  • in bound and out-bound detection
  • phishing reporting and alerts
  • post delivery protection
  • spoofing protection
Cons
  • email protection on cloud setups could be done better
  • more filtered alerts can help more quick resolution
  • better customization can help fast protection
Likelihood to Recommend
Avanan is best suited for end-to-end email protection either spam, spoofing, phishing, breach detection or links detection. the best part is post-delivery action and protection and true AI-based API protection and its easy setup within minutes. it's less appropriate when there is less need for a second layer of security protection over existing protection by email providers. but, it is worth using and can save from any attacks through email.

A great product for email spam, phishing, and malware detection and prevention

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Avanan is used to protect our organization from phishing, spam, and malware. We found this when looking for a solution that seamlessly integrated into Google Workspace, was easy to use and administrate, and didn't lead to a ton of false positives or undelivered emails. Avanan also keeps an eye on "Shadow IT" by informing us if someone is using their Google account for a supplier that we don't approve within the organization and anomalies such as someone logging into a Google email account from a new country.
Pros
  • Easy to set up
  • Simple to administrate
  • Detections are accurate
  • Doesn't interfere with our business as usual
Cons
  • DLP could be more comprehensive
Likelihood to Recommend
This is suited to businesses of most sizes, where security is of the highest importance but you don't want to end up opening the admin panel every few hours to unblock a perfectly legitimate email (which has been a problem with other solutions we've used).

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Avanan Email security has been used as supplemental protection for internal network security. It is used throughout our region to protect all employee e-mails from external attacks by hackers, worms, viruses, trojans, ransomware and phishing. It has integrated great resources, performance and security to internal data. The integration and protection of the Office 365 environment is excellent and has mitigated 100% of attack attempts.
Pros
  • Integration with Office 365
  • Protection against phishing
  • Protection from ransomware attacks
  • Virus protection
  • Spam protection
Cons
  • Some crashes when overloaded
Likelihood to Recommend
Prior to Avanan, we had information leaked through phishing attempts and viruses by some users. Now we have a strong problem against any external threat because emails are one of the main sources of these intruders. We really liked the interface with several options for management, integration, and analysis by reports. The software is stable and competitively priced.
