Usability

There is always room for improvement. Overall usability is excellent. It is easy to use the dashboard and drill into the various sections of the product. Graphical views are available where appropriate, making it easy to pick out important information.

Likelihood to Recommend

I would recommend Avanan for any organization who wants to increase the effectiveness of their email filtering and provide basic DLP services. It does slow down the mail receipt process, so don't implement for email boxes, messages that are time critical (less than 5 minutes.).

Quickly improve on your email/sharing platform's built-in phishing/malware protection
