Featured and Sharp Blade for Mail Security

Sandboxing features could be improved to catch advanced mail attacks and compressed files.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Excellent protection, near-zero false positives, easy rollout and great analysis & remediation.
What do you like best about the product?
We deployed Avanan primarily for Office 365 as Microsoft's filtering, even with their Advanced Thread Protection, was allowing far too many malicious emails through while blocking many legitimate emails. After Avanan deployment we get near zero malicious emails delivered and our help desk is no longer getting tickets to restore quarantined emails. One cool story in our Avanan trial was when a client had their email compromised and our users were being sent phishing emails. Avanan blocked the phishing emails and then after the client regained control of their mailbox Avanan allowed the follow up emails from the client warning us to not open the previous emails. I've had similar instances occur with other email security solutions in place and none has ever successfully blocked it like that.
We also have two Google Workspace environments protected by Avanan. It's great that we now have visibility of our environments in one solution. You can't have both Google Workspace accounts setup in one Avanan tenant but Avanan set us up with an MSP portal so each Google Workspace account is in its own Avanan tenant and alerts and stats roll up to the MSP portal for easy visibility.

What do you dislike about the product?
Avanan is not a traditional email gateway solution and augments Microsoft's filtering. You still need to do some tuning in Microsoft policy settings to avoid items being blocked by Microsoft after Avanan filtering. So there are sometimes cases where you have to check two places to find out what happened with an email.
Avanan also has some UI glitches in their latest UI release. The Mail Explorer will sometimes show results but as you tweak the search or go between pages the Mail Explorer results will sometimes stop showing. Usually refreshing the page will clear this up but it's a bit annoying.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
After deploying Avanan we were able to cancel our ATP licensing which helped with cost savings. Our Help Desk used to get multiple tickets a week to check emails in quarantine and now they can focus on real issues. The system is largely set and forget and I only need to check the Avanan portal a couple times a month.
email admin's friend
What do you like best about the product?
Avanan has been a very effective and accurate tool for malware blocking and email filtering for our organization.
What do you dislike about the product?
The user interface could be more intuitive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Avanan integrates very well with Exchange Online. I particularly value its ability to easily do a "search and destroy" of malicious emails from user inboxes. Previously we needed to design Powershell scripts to accurately identify the emails in question and then delete them, which was a much riskier endeavor for the email admin.
Avanan, a great fit
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to manage, no constant monitoring needed.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can't think of anything that comes to mind.

Malware, Phishing, data security.

What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing as such. It's a great product. GUI could be better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solution for cloud email security. Easy to deploy.
Avanan is Great
What do you like best about the product?
For the price, the product delivers great protection against email spam/attacks. It does what the other people do at a 1/3 of the price. They have only added more features over the years now that make the product better than before. Support is one of the easiest to deal with and get back to you quickly if you need it.
What do you dislike about the product?
The attachment sandboxing feature could be improved also event grouping. For anomaly detection, I would also really enjoy the ability to search for IPs my users are having events from inside the program.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are way more secure now that all our emails, SharePoint documents, teams, and one drive files are being protected and scanned. I have had to spend less time reviewing suspicious emails my users used to report to me and have more confidence in the email they are getti g are save
Avanan Update Review
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use GUI, Pricing is very good and the shadow IT feature is very useful. Also like the newly added feature "secure click". Checks any hyperlinks in an email and confirms the site is legit.
What do you dislike about the product?
We recently implemented Avanan and right now it's very good. I haven't come across anything I don't dislike.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Prevent phishing attacks from hitting our users mailbox
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would highly recommend Avanan. And now that it is part of the Checkpoint family, even more.
