Anti Spam and security Solution on Gateway level

It is good software blade and working fine for us.

We have in house SMTP server for our application alert or OTP, we have SMTP with anti spam but it is not much good. so we have procured Check Point Anti-Spam and Email security blade license and configured it. now it is blocking all kind of spam mail and secure our emails.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want to block such email attack on gateway level, you have to enable Anti-Spam and Email Security blade on your check point gateway. it is very helpful.
Experience with the Avanan email security service.
What do you like best about the product?
The way it is able to detect and block malicious emails. Also personally I am fascinated when our current cloud solution is not able to detect malicious emails but when they pass through the Avanan filter they are detected immediately. And also the opposite when our cloud mail solution detects the mail as malicious and it turns out that it is a false positive that in effect Avanan does not detect it either. With this we see the great efficiency of Avanan.
What do you dislike about the product?
At the moment I have not found something that I do not like about the platform. The only drawback if you can say so. There was a time when I opened a support ticket for a specific purpose and the support gave me a different solution and not the one I was looking for.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Last year we acquired this solution to be able to combat phishing emails to our organization.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
My advice to other people who are evaluating their possible Cloud Email Security solutions is to evaluate as much as possible from each provider. Analyze from the smallest detail that sellers offer. Request a demo of the product to evaluate how functional it is for your organization. If possible, enter into a good negotiation if there are other sellers competing on value for money.
Excellent tool that greatly improves security for Office365
What do you like best about the product?
Avanan Cloud security has greatly improved the security posture of Office365 for us. It catches so many things that Microsoft ATP misses. The interface looks great and is easy to use. I am amazed at the job it does with Phishing, Spam, Malware, and with DLP. I use the tool daily and would not want to be without it. Tech support is very good and responsive.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much of anything to say as far as dislikes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We rely on Avanan to protect our users from Phishing and Spam, We rely on it to identify potential DLP of PII and it does a great job. Previously we were relying on Microsoft ATP for this, but since we deployed Avanan, we realized how much was getting through or being missed.

Avanan - Simple and Works
What do you like best about the product?
Simplicity to implement and use. Accuracy of results. They are a solution that works like they describe. I have used other products such as Mimecast, and I am happier with Avanan. I believe the key difference is the way they integrate with Office 365. Avanan is more API based and compliments Office 365's security whereas Mimecast is more of a separate solution which you can direct all of your email to them. One of the things I really like about Avanan is that they work for both the internal and external emails. Therefore, email from someone internal goes though Avanan and than back to someone internal.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have no complaints. Avanan was brought in to solve a problem and they worked. They are fair on cost, their solution advertised is what you get. They are easy to implement and support is great at responding within a timely manner. Overall, I have recommended this to my former company as I am pleased with the results. Additionally, anyone reviewing Avanan they will setup a POC and you can start seeing results almost immediately.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were using Office 365's standard security and unfortunately we where getting multiple phishing and spam emails. After implementing Avanan that has almost eliminated that issue. Additionally, Avanan has also provided us an insight into our Shadow IT. It is much easier to address a problem when you can see what is being used.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Setup a POC, it is very easy to implement and integrates seamlessly with Office 365. Once your POC starts you will already start seeing results. It is an added feature that Avanan also scans SharePoint, Teams, and OneDrive so if I file is shared it will still get scanned.
Very easy to setup, monitor & manage and still highly efficient!
What do you like best about the product?
Very easy to set up, it takes only a few minutes to complete the installation and configure, unlike other email security products which are more complicated and require professional service from a vendor. The support team of Avanan is also really friendly & helpful.
The feature to enable license for selected users is really helpful in some scenarios and not available with other major security vendors
The feature to scan & protect the internal emails is also highly recommended.
Since Avanan is implemented behind the O365 spam filter, the email security solution is not known for the hackers from spf or mx record scan.

What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing that I dislike about Avanan. This is my first preference for any of my O365 customers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is possible to protect the selected users, hence require licenses based on protection. Other vendors require licensing based on AD users or the number of total mailboxes.
It is giving two layers of protection for O365. It is not required to change the MX records to Avanan hence the default O365 protection is not disabled.
Avanan will protect the emails from both internal & external domains. No additional components required for that.
Since avanan is deployed behind the O365, the Avanan security is not visible for hackers and thus giving better protection.
Avanan can be integrated with other security vendors as well.
It is fully compatible with O365 hybrid setup.
