Once you deploy the policies, it is very easy to manage. I review the logs once a week to ensure any emails put in quarantine were not a fake positive and legitimate email. Other than that it just works.

Avanan, all that and more! It just works!

The end-users love not having their inboxes fill up with extra useless emails. As an administrator, it is simple to implement and maintain. The ability to put something into test mode before going live makes our life a lot easier and less stressful. Avanan has many different components to make your life easier.

Usability is so easy. It was a quick configuration with entering in some credentials, accepting terms and permissions and before you know it it's already going through and taking a look at existing emails. Portal is very easy to use and there are always updates with decent logs. The new UI is great and highly intuitive.

Avanan allows as much or as little customization as needed while still providing excellent protection against common spam and phishing attacks. It has an excellent user experience from both an end-user and an administrator perspective, which is one of the primary issues when implementing new tools and software into an environment - Avanan was intuitive and required minimal training to actually use the software for our users.

Avanan has been a great tool for our success.

Avanan has made its dashboard very easy to navigate in the reality of things. It is a system that is not overly complicated. It was very easy to integrate. I can find what I need from the systems relatively quickly and if I don't know how to get something all I have to do is ask Avanan support and they always give me a good answer.
