Best Protection for Entire M365 Suit

  • May 24, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
1. No changes in MX records or SPF records hence protected from targeted attacks
2. Avanan sits behind the default M365 security hence truly adding an additional layer of protection.
3. Default email security from M365 is not bypassed
4. Protect entire M365 suits including email, teams, one drive & SharePoint which is unique
5. Scans internal emails as well.
6. Inline protection will scan & protect before the email is delivered in the user mailbox unlike other API vendors
7. Very easy to set up & configure. No expert knowledge required
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing which I dislike at this point. Excellent product with an excellent team to support
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My email security is not visible to outside world since Avanan sits behind O365 layer. Hence it is protected from targeted attacks. Avanan protects other products such as teams, SharePoint and one drive and also scans internal emails, It also reports anomalies. Avanan provides flexibility for MSP model businesses as well.

Simple and Effective Email Security Solution

  • May 17, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Avanan was quick and easy to get up and running. We mainly purchased their service to block all the phishing attacks that Microsoft EOP misses. They catch/block 95-99% of what Microsoft EOP misses!
What do you dislike about the product?
We have had an issue with the Microsoft Blocked Senders list working for end-users since implementing Avanan. We are working with Avanan/Microsoft support to see if we can get this resolved, but no resolution yet. Their Anomalies section leaves a bit to be desired. I wish it had more information on the alerts. I also hoped they would block more SPAM/Marketing emails.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
They catch/block 95-99% of what Microsoft EOP misses! Their Incident Response service is quick to respond to suspicious emails.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would definitely recommend doing a demo with Avanan to see if it meets your needs. They do inline protection, where others offer APIs to protect your mail. We also liked Abnormal Security a lot.

Easy and Reliable G Suite Filtering Service

  • March 08, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The initial sales team was helpful in describing and demoing the product for me. The pricing is reasonable and the setup within our G Suite environment was simple and straightforward. After a few basic settings were in place we started to see a decrease in spam and phishing hitting our users inboxes. We have now been using the platform for over two years without noticeable downtime or any other major issues.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only downside I have experienced is some vendors aren't following proper email/web security guidelines and as such legitimate communications are sometimes blocked even though it's a well known domain, company, etc. However, I cannot really blame Avanan directly for this because they are merely taking a 'better safe than sorry' approach and there are ways of manually adjusting and allowing these kinds of communications if needed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The standard G Suite spam/phishing filter is decent but doesn't catch everything. Between Avanan and G Suite we see almost no incidents of malicious emails making its way into our users inboxes. Additionally, with Avanan's quarantine and live scanning of attachments we are able to better review potentially malicious file much more safely than before.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want a fairly priced and effective solution to protecting cloud-based email and document services, Avanan is a no-brainer.

Outstanding Cloud Security & Value

  • March 02, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Avanan is very easy to deploy & integrate. Configuring is a breeze and pretty intuitive. The software is extremely comprehensive. And reporting is fantastic. And the price is very reasonable for the services delivered.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is very little to dislike. I would love to see a little more control over the interface, an ability to clear alerts I know longer wish to see, and just a wee bit more spit and polish. My complaints are VERY small...
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
An ability to protect customer cloud accounts against SPAM, Malware, Phishing, DLP, and visibility into Shadow IT and other anomalies.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I highly recommend this product to everyone looking for a comprehensive security platform. Too many others require multiple solutions to provide the same level of protection. Avanan's ability to integrate with Microsoft DLP is an added bonus. The product is included in basic start package that all customers must agree to use and has set the bar for other products on the market.

Enhanced Detection Way Beyond M365's Offerings

  • January 06, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Once configured, it is a "set it and forget it" product. I just does its job without daily tinkering with settings or constant Admin console vigilance.
What do you dislike about the product?
When looking at a flagged entry, it takes a bit of time to learn how to navigate down through the many security alert links that can be presented. Also, users have requested to receive a daily digest of quarantined messages (similar to M365's report), but this option is not available.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Improving the phishing detection that M365 offered.

The integration with O365 is excellent and seamless.
What do you dislike about the product?
The trial is very limited, it only allows for 5 users.

Reduce and virtually eliminate spam and phishing emails.

Professional service that’s easy to use

  • December 30, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Avanan is easy to use and I really like that if a feature is missing, their support will take into account and incorporate it into a build
What do you dislike about the product?
Like any email security, dealing with quarantined rules can sometimes be difficult but support always works with us.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Infiltration prevention. Avanan has been good at preventing phishing by letting us add rules that automatically prevent those emails from ever beefing seen by users or removing them if we flag them
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Perhaps adding a portal to quickly report phishing attempt with all necessary information to quickly resolve and mitigate problem

Really quick and easy to set up + the company are easy and pleasant to deal with
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing really, if I had to suggest an improvement, it would be more flexibility in the quarantine email notifications
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Gives us an extra layer of protection against the nasties out there
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is easier to use and more cost effective than alternatives I looked at

Avanan Cloud Email Security Reliable protection system !!

  • December 21, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It is an excellent tool for the protection of our company, mainly to protect all the means of receiving email with an easy implementation in the cloud, making its use more fluid. In turn, we improve the organization's system thanks to its variable solutions for local interaction methods, ensuring all our own and links, detecting all threats without penetrating through the inbox.
What do you dislike about the product?
We detect more threats than before implementing it in our company, but we do not have a unified method through the same platform by which we can eliminate them, but it works for us only to detect and block it, preventing it from achieving its objectives in our business system, this feature leads us to implement an extra complement to meet this need, certainly even lacking this feature we are highly satisfied.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We forget about the threats that always try to circumvent the security system we have, detecting and blocking them before they reach the inbox. We mainly decided to implement it in the cloud, and we maintain the same commitment with our organization's email, so we can also save a lot of time since despite being in the cloud it can be implemented as an application and with a few simple clicks, with the same results.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is extremely efficient and fast, due to its implementation in the cloud. It offers a very professional analysis and detection system with which all threats that try to enter the platform such as OneDrive, Google Drive and others of its kind, with which it has support, can be detected. Thus allowing to block a huge amount of threats, in addition to this, more than one layer of security can be implemented in the email of your choice, through an easy and fast implementation with which to completely forget about threats and virtual fraud is possible, this with the special interest of blocking and protecting the system from threats.
