Overall Satisfaction with Avanan

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
  • Spam detection
  • Phishing prevention
  • Malware sandboxing
  • VIP email detection
  • Positive trend in false detections
  • Nearly a complete reduction in internal requests to unblock emails

Do you think Avanan delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Would you buy Avanan again?

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).
