Avanan email security is suitable for anyone or any organization (small, medium, and large) that uses an email account to send or receive emails. Consequently, it is important to ensure that emails are safe and secure. Therefore, any spam or malicious emails should be blocked so that unauthorized access to personal or company information is prevented.

Avanan offers excellent support in blocking out phishing and malicious emails. In fact, one of the best things with Avanan is that it is deployed more like an mobile application. The security dashboards provides an indepth insights into the Malware and Phishing security events. Additionally, Avanan extends its security to other cloud based applications like Slack and Google drive too which helps us keep our data safe and secure

We can trust it to protect our emails because we sometimes send some sensitive information but we don’t want it getting in the wrong hands. Now, we can have some relief knowing that it is all private and there is not too much that will get through and leak out.

Best suited for domains or hosts where you would want first-level filtration or prevention from hitting onto the email boxes and domains. All the protection against unknown addresses, phishing activities, and URL filtering is a good use case.

Nowadays, digital transformation is everywhere. Using cloud services is very common. Many organizations use SaaS like Office 365 or G-Suite. Storing data on cloud, sharing the data to outside are very often. With normal users, forget old data or forget shared data after projects, topic disscussion and so on,... are unavoidable. Using Avanan helps to discover and detect which data is sharing and which in them is sensitive need to be stop sharing. If don't have a solution like Avanan, it will be very difficult to control data leakage.
For scenarios where it is less appropriate, I think AI needs to be trained better to minimize false positive.

What it says, it provides. It has the Data leak prevention that is the major help while we have to deal with lot of clients at a time. It has the Secure Click that checks any embedded hyperlink so that when we work on emails we don't have to worry about the hidden security threats inside a email.

It really is a fairly advanced tool against modern threats, ideal for banking companies. Its ease of implementation is perfect for companies with small IT departments that use tools with full security power and little administration. Ideal for companies, the cost can prevent small companies from being able to acquire it.

Avanan is suited for any software-based company which has and handles a lot of data that is either important or sensitive and a leak can cause a major halt or issue for the company. It also helps in preventing mistakes especially made by junior members or interns, it works as a great safety net.

Avanan can be used for ensuring top-level security for email communications of enterprises, but it is a bit costly for small businesses. So if your business is of very high value or you have to store sensitive information or protect against malware attacks, the use of Avanan is recommended. Avanan, though a bit costly, is essential software to protect your system from the external world.

Avanan is better with almost all the security features available within its suite. They especially take more safety precautions when analysing login events and user activities across all the cloud applications used by the organization to detect any compromised accounts. Most interesting thing is Avanan can detect those accounts even if that breach has happened long time before.

Avanan provides anomaly detections which helps to identify any suspicious user activity and events which may lead to any potential email threats. It is also having AI features which able to identify and learn the patterns of the user behavior and determine the differences. Besides, it is not only protecting the on-premise email servers but email solutions which hosted in the cloud.

Our company has benefited greatly from spam protection. We work with a lot of third-party vendors, and it's important to know whether an email is spam or not. The banners section, on the other hand, can be improved. The most appealing aspect is that Avanan seamlessly integrates with G Suite, ensuring the safety and security of my coworkers.

We mainly communicate with the use of email. Lots of mail from our clients and teammates cross borders for business necessities alike. Avanan has protected us from threats of malware, which we could otherwise find in a legitimate business email, as well as spam. This way, when potentially harmful emails are found they can be quarantined quickly, saving us both time and money!

It offers advanced settings for users who know how to customize their antivirus protection. We can perform custom scans of specific parts of our computer, such as scripts, networks, boot sectors, and even new/changed files. Advanced settings make it one of the most powerful and customizable anti-malware scanning engines on the market. However, it is not just an antimalware scanner, it is one of the most complete security suites on the market, and it offers us the best protection for both our computers and our mobiles.

This has enabled us to help clients protect themselves against malicious external attacks such as protecting their employees from phishing in employee inboxes. It has proved very easy to deploy with minimal disturbance for the workforce, a key point. It has proved to work well with integrations with other applications too.

I think this is a great product. But since cybersecurity and phishing attacks are always changing, no solution is perfect. But what I have experienced and the feedback I have gotten from my peers show true value in this product.

This software is well-suited for a company that is looking to protect its data from common security breaches. It is very user-friendly and easy to implement, which is why these few things make it easily usable on a daily basis. This software also allows for much faster cloud performance and provides regular reports which provide security analytics.

Avanan is very well suited for use in a large enterprise environment where there are multiple users who receive tons of emails that are phishing or spam. It's less appropriate in financial sectors or businesses that have lots of transaction emails, as Avanan's AI gets confused sometimes when scanning emails and they end up being bypassed.

Avanan is well suited for Office 365 users and works great with Outlook Exchange. It effectively blocks any kind of phishing emails to protect from data leakage. It also offers data loss protection functionalities and works well as intended. However, the UI seems outdated and should be modernized. The UI lags sometimes.

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.

Avanan works really well against spam, viruses, etc. We receive over 100 emails every day that is spam/scam but our users are way more protected and feel more confident with Avanan. It has some diffuclties when legitimate emails come from domains that don't send a lot of emails. But it's okay, at least we are protected.

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.
