A first line defense to protect your emails and collaboration with the cloud

  • November 26, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It is our main source of protection because it has proven to be the only true way to protect email and collaboration in the cloud at the same time. We bring conventional solutions for on-premises email, proxies and native gateways into the organization's system, stopping threats before they successfully reach the inbox by working seamlessly with your existing security. We in turn use its unique architecture built specifically for the cloud to protect us much more in all possible areas and channels
What do you dislike about the product?
It is effective in detecting threats, but recognizing which and where it comes from is necessary to eliminate them and Avanan is not yet trained for this, complementing it in this feature would be essential, being so, we currently use a complement to detect threats to eliminate them and be completely out of risk, however for us is a platform like no other in the market, exceeded the expectations of the entire team
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We connect you to our environment in search of threats always depending on your security system, but before the inbox. Later we also implement it within the cloud, to obtain a better defense against internal threats, the compromise of business email and violated accounts. The best part of this whole process is that we save time as Avanan is implemented as an application and configured with a few clicks, and gives excellent results
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a powerful platform to completely secure any organization's cloud, through its professional analysis system that detects threats in cloud applications connected to the business flow such as OneDrive, Google Drive and Teams. With which a huge amount of threats can be caught, exercising a more reliable email security layer. With its easy and fast implementation it is possible to completely forget about virtual threats and fraud, because its functions are specially designed to block phishing, malware and other advanced threats that have evaded existing security

So far, Avanan is the best ever antiphishing solution to manage malicious emails effectively.

What do you like best about the product?
It is so advanced tool that doesn't require many resources to manage it. Not from technical but from business side as well, this tool adds value to an organization.
What do you dislike about the product?
Avanan is an advanced and API based antiphishing tool that works in parallel to MS O365 and also helps to manage spam emails but due to some technical limitation, MS default antispam filter cannot be disabled. So spam emails detected by MS not deliver to Avanan solution.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Avanan email security, we are effectively managing phsihing emails, malicious email and BEC emails at the network level that further add value to secure staffs mailbox.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is one of the best tool for an organisation if they want to secure cloud email infrastructure with minimum resources and effort.

Advanced email security done right!

  • November 23, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Avanan is almost too good to be true. It literally takes just minutes to install, it learns quickly, and it has effectively reduced my team's time dealing with phishing attempt response by nearly 90%. It was shocking to see truly how many email threats make it through O365's "filtering". Avanan helps me sleep better at night. What more can you ask than that?
What do you dislike about the product?
My only dislike is, honestly, that I didn't learn about Avanan sooner.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We had been experiencing a large number of phishing attempts for a long time, but once COVID-19 hit, those attempts increased significantly in number. It was getting to be too much to manage, knowing that if one user clicks a bad link, it could results in a security incident. While we provide continual security awareness training, I'd MUCH rather prevent them from receiving the emails to begin with and have to think about how to respond to them.

HIGHLY recommend Avanan to anyone seeking enhanced Email security

What do you like best about the product?
I love the Avanan interface. It is intuitive, easy to use, and they have phenomenal support. It just plain WORKS. The machine learning is also phenomenal and has helped me even become better at spotting various phishing techniques.
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, if I have encountered any dislikes, querks, or downsides within the Avanan interface, I submit it to them, and they have ALWAYS quickly addressed my concern. If they can't fix it right then and there, then they submit it as a feature improvement request to their development.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Increased overall security for sure. Our users are safer and have far less to worry about, which means I have less to worry about and less possible infections with users. Avanan is constantly catching hundreds of Phishing emails and many that contain malware. Honestly the greatest benefit has been peace of mind.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Dig in, ask questions. You will not be disappointed. I honestly cannot remember ever submitting a question to Avanan which they were not able to answer.

Avanan is a Must Have

  • November 19, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Avanan was easy to implement, it's easy to maintain, very reasonably priced, and works great. I cringe every time I look at our portal to see how many phishing and scam emails that had been getting through to our end users when we relied only on O365 security. Their sales and support teams have been phenomenal to work with.
What do you dislike about the product?
That we didn't know about Avanan sooner.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Protecting our end users from malicious emails and phishing attacks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a must have tool. You will be happy with the service and the support.

Avanan continues to be an effective tool for us

  • November 18, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like the ease of use and the variety of services one can potentially enable to elevate the security. I also like how often the team is working on improving the dashboard by bringing in new tools to help us, the customer, stay safe.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can't say that I dislike Avanan at all. Once you learn the details of its workings it is easy to use and works as described.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving phishing issues. Avanan is able to dramatically reduce the amount of Phishing email that our users receive and has helped us determine the amount of sensitive information that goes over our network via their DLP service so that we can put measures in place to reduce risks. Avanan is also able to help us determine if there have been accounts signed in from outside of the US which would most likely be due to an account break-in. Thankfully all the ones that Avanan has caught were legitimate in the sense that our users were the ones logging outside of the country.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would look into Avanan for Anti-phishing and Malware detection on emails. This is really a good product to reduce those coming into user mailboxes. In addition, Avanan does provide tools to help prevent security attacks like URL checking and email impersonation detection which comes in handy.

All Around Great Product

What do you like best about the product?
It gives you a single place to login and manage your email security and does a better job than Microsoft stopping threats. It is also easier to navigate than Microsofts tools. The easy ability to search your organization for an email that made it through and quarantine it from all mailboxes without having to use powershell is amazing.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's a simple and easy tool there really isn't anything to dislike about it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The Data Loss Prevention section makes it easier to manage your sensitive data by blocking or encrypting email messages automatically.

If you're looking for an anti-phishing and suspicious activity tracing platform, look no further!

  • November 17, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
My initial impression with Avanan was fantastic as I was able to get fully provisioned on their platform within 24 hours. We first started with a trial/POC that gave us insight on how the service would work; we decided to initially go with the service for a year. We have been very pleased with the results. The service detects virtually all phishing attempts and quarantines the email. We set up several policies in an intuitive manner to deal with certain types of email. We also have the ability to get alerted on anamolies that Avanan detects as well as being able to delete a particular email out of all mailboxes.

But those outstanding features take a backseat to their support team. I measure a company's competency and confidence in their product by how good their support team is, and I have to say they are amazing. They respond to my initial inquiry within a few hours typically; their support team is very knowledgeable and kind and willing to explain what process they are going through to resolve an issue. You can have every confidence that if there is an issue on the platform or a particular licensed feature you want to configure, the Avanan team will get you up and running quickly and professionally.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing really comes to mind. There are very rare instances where I will get a phishing email that bypasses their engine, but after reporting it to Avanan's support team, they submit these particular emails into their algorithm to prevent those emails from rearing their ugly heads again.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We had an ongoing issue with phishing emails bypassing Office 365 filters and transport rules and a number of our staff would click on these phishing emails and subsequently have their accounts compromised. This has been virtually eradicated since we have been on the Avanan platform. With so many platforms to deal with, we're happy that anti-phishing has become almost a set it and forget it process.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're having issues with phishing mail and would also like insight into suspicious login activity, look no further than Avanan.
