Good Experience
What do you like best about the product?
The visibility into our email and sharepoint applications
What do you dislike about the product?
A lot of false positives at the start of the use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is helping protect against malicious email.
A+++ Cloud Email Security
What do you like best about the product?
The reporting dashboards are clean and show administrators exactly what they need to see so they can review things quickly and take action where needed.
What do you dislike about the product?
There could be more standard 'policy templates'. Being able to select pre-configured policy rules would save time and help ensure that the policies are set up and working as expected.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps us detect how many phishing attempts we see on a daily/weekly/monthly basis. We were being attacked more often than we thought. This means we realized that our users are more savvy at detecting these emails than previously thought.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Its easy to set up and use out of the box. It's a valuable tool to any organization struggling with SPAM and other malicious email attacks.
Great addition to e-mail secuirty
What do you like best about the product?
First - the fact that Avanan is an amazing partner that takes the time to learn about our needs - And then has the agility to enhance their solution to meet those needs and emerging threats. Next, the API integration to Office 365 - ease to find / report / manage. Also that we can send details over to Splunk.
What do you dislike about the product?
Would be great if Avanan could dig deeper into why Microsoft blocks / zaps e-mails beside just the Avanan items.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Microsoft misses certain types of attacks. Avanan found some really sophisticated and critical attacks that were missed by the other solutions.
Very intuitive and flexible email security platform.
What do you like best about the product?
The ease in the ability to query and perform actions on emails. The platform is fast and responsive. Being able to take action quickly on a mass of emails is critical and Avanan is able to perform at a high level.
What do you dislike about the product?
The timeliness of the Citrix ShareFile integration within the main portal. We had to manage ShareFile in a second portal until it was ready for integration in the main portal. This took some time and additional overhead on our part. However, Avanan was able to implement it into the main portal afterall.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The benefits that we realized is the increased visibility in Shadow IT accounts which were able to better manage internally; we were able to store our custom queries for quick access to information and run them consistently or pause them at our discretion for increased performance; the tracking of changes in states of an email as it flowed through the system was very beneficial and our ability to manually change the state at our discretion was very helpful.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Thoroughly review the integrations available for this platform as you will find there is a plethora of options to choose from that can complement your environment.
zaps phishing emails
What do you like best about the product?
Avanan blocks phishing emails that other companies miss. I’ve tried several. And because Avanan is API-based, it can reach into all mailboxes and remove emails that shouldn't be there.
Even though I use Mimecast as my primary filter, Mimecast misses many phishing and spam emails. Avanan detects the phish and stops it.
Avanan is also quick-acting to remove email from inboxes. Users will report, “I saw something suspicious, but then it disappeared.” Avanan has done its job. Creating block rules against that sender is easy. Another example, email is sent by mistake, then I can remove it from all mailboxes with a quick search.
Plus, it has anomaly detection. Meaning it sees the good and bad login attempts to our accounts and does a Geo-IP lookup and notifies me of suspicious behavior. For example, I have an email account that is accessed from different countries at the same time and Avanan detects and reports this. You can also create an exception rule to exclude it from future detections.
It's a brilliant product and deserves recognition. I seriously sleep better now that I have Avanan.
Why do I use two email filters? Because two is better than one in today's environment.

What do you dislike about the product?
After three years of use, I've seen it miss a handful of phishing emails out of the hundreds that Mimecast and Microsoft ATP missed. That's a PRO. User awareness is still an essential part of our layered defenses.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I spent a year with just Mimecast, and it was stressful. I've now had three additional years of Mimecast + Avanan. I can trust Avanan to detect and remove malicious emails. It helps me relax and focus on other work. Malicious email is serious business and a huge problem. Ransomware, using email as the initial attack vector, takes down businesses for days or weeks. Email filtering is step 1 of protecting your company.
Easy setup with 365 APi
What do you like best about the product?
It just works. It requires very little updating or babysitting.
What do you dislike about the product?
It finds email addresses that are no longer active and tries to protect them. When you only pay for active users, it can identify an old account and assign a license. This puts active users in a detect only mode.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Phishing, Malware, and Spam
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Sign up for the trial and see what it can detect in your environment. In read-only mode its no impact on production.
Avanan makes life easier and more secure!
What do you like best about the product?
The best part about Avanan is less man hours chasing problems and knowing email security is in good hands.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far, I have found nothing to dislike.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Avanan helped tremendously in getting our email spam problem under control. Benefits are cost, compared to previous solution and man hours saved.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Compare solutions and I think you will see Avanan stands above the rest.
Can't say enough good things about Avanan.
What do you like best about the product?
Like most everyone else, we have emails that bypass Office 365's filters. Our users will click on nearly anything. Avanan prevents this behavior. We didn't know how much got through until we deployed Avanan. Speaking of deployment, it was simple. So simple that we had the "This can't be all you have to do" moments. Of all the software we use, Avanan ranks at the top of the ones I wouldn't want to be without.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing. Really. It just works. I used to look at it every day to make sure it was doing what it advertised and now I just leave it alone.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problem of human behavior. We have tried everything to prevent users from clicking emails, but nothing works except preventing them from getting to the user. We even have folks request obvious emails to be delivered after being filtered by Avanan. It's so easy to simply decline the request.
Avanan - Awesome security layer for email (Two Year Review)
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use and transparent reporting. Most tasks can be done without leaving the Avanan interface. The product seamlessly integrates with G Suite, which is enormous for the K-12 crowd. I like the dashboard setup and event clarity.
Edit: At this point, I am two years into having this product and can only say it has been fantastic for us. This product has saved me an incredible amount of time chasing down, trying to block, or answering questions about spam/phishing emails.

What do you dislike about the product?
Set up was not entirely painless and took a few phone calls to get resolved, otherwise no real complaints. Set up is easy for the most part, but I think at the time, Google (we are GSuite) was making some background changes that tripped up the process. I did not get the impression that this was an Avanan issue, but it still took a bit to resolve.
Edit: Two years in now, I have to say that these pain points were only during setup. Day-to-day operations are very smooth and the Google integration is much improved. Any real criticisms I had of the product have been resolved.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The amount of phishing attempts has grown exponentially in both scale and complexity for years. Avanan gives us a solution that can target criteria that is historically hard to pinpoint and do it inline before the email is ever delivered to the users inbox..... even for cloud services like Gmail.
Edit: Two years in now. This product is excellent at catching emails that are pretending to be from staff members. We were having issues with emails coming in pretending to be from another staff member asking for gift cards etc. and this has almost eliminated them. Another added benefit is that when integrated in GSuite you will get alerts when users log in from odd places. This can help you track down compromised accounts or, in our case (We are K12 education) students using VPNs to try and get past filtering.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Avanan can be a bit spendy but considering what a security breach can cost I still feel it is worth it. This product has been a fantastic security tool for us and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to shore up email security.
My experiense with Cloudguard SaaS
What do you like best about the product?
Th best i have experienced with the solution is, integration method they have used. Incase of securing our emails, for every other solutions I need to have at least few minutes of downtime. In Cloud guard SaaS, that was completely removed.
Not only downtime, but also the integration method is too simple to use.
Also it can scan the existing email boxes for malwares and phishing.
The best solution with them, but no one ever has with the email security is Identity theft protection, it helps me a lot.

What do you dislike about the product?
It also have number of difficulties inside it.
1. If I am having a O365 mail domain with abc.com, for alert i get email from noreply@abc.com by default, I didn't configure the email address and I don't have any privilege to change the email address. I need to depend on support team.
2. I can find many details in weekly report. but to find the same details I need to create custom queries in my console. Eg: in my weekly report I have no. of logins with respect to countries, but in console I need to create custom queries. For beginners it is a difficult task also the admin need to create custom queries for nearly every details he finds in the weekly report.
3. Speaking of custom query I cant download the report if it have more than 10,000 entry.
4. Locally transmitting mails are not scanning. Eg: in my Organization if I have 2 groups with 2 different policies, Group A is with alert mode and Group B is with prevent mode. If both A and B receives a malicious mail from internet, it scans and generates alert, but if a guy from Group A send the mail to a guy in Group B, the mail policy will not apply and prevent the mail, it simply allows to him and he gets affected without creating any alert at least.
5. Need for depending on Checkpoint support team is quite more.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used to secure my O365 suite. I get complete visibility of threats in my mail boxes.
Initially, no. of users are consistently compromised, but using identity theft protection, I have completely over come that using this solution.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
It would be better, to scan and alert forwarding or sending mails inside the domain.
Kindly include as much as features available in weekly report also in the console. Don't make the admin to depend on the custom queries.
Make the Admin only to depend support team for troubleshooting.
