Whitelisting and black listing GUI and functionality requires simplification and overall improvement

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great product easy setup and use
Great security product; Wish it did even more.
What do you like best about the product?
We like the approach Avanan takes by integrating with Office 365 at an API level instead of inserting itself into the SMTP stream. We heavily leverage its DLP capabilities.
What do you dislike about the product?
We wish they would build up the number of partners that they do API integration to allow us to monitor more of our SaaS platforms.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We primarily use it for Office 365 content security, both for malware and DLP protection. We are able to easily manage the system without extensive training overhead.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Request a demonstration and compare performance with other solutions.
Avanan Cloud Security A+
What do you like best about the product?
Avanan catches the phishing emails that Microsoft misses. This has been a savior for our environment multiple times.
What do you dislike about the product?
Avanan quarantines the Microsoft quarantine email messages. Double quarantine?! This quarantine makes sense because MS's email contains the original message as an attachment. However, it make does make investigations difficult when you do not have the original message.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Email phishing and malware. Avanan does an excellent job removing phishing and malware threats from our environment.
Great Next Gen Tool Covering the Bases for Multi-Layered Application Security
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to install and trial. Light to manage. There's a great API connection ability which is cleaner and better than traditional gateways. The continual scanning of not only email but One Drive, Sharepoint is critical.
What do you dislike about the product?
Needing the extra mailbox license for quarantine. I get why it's necessary just wish there were something else build so that it weren't required.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Phishing, Spoofing, Impersonation attempts. Ransomware, 0-day malware etc..
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use a next gen tool with API. Enable multiple layers of security for protection across devices, clouds, and user accounts/productivity tools.
Affordable, effective, intuitive
What do you like best about the product?
Implementation was extremely easy. We started with a 30-day trial. Their engineer worked with me to get this setup and we were up and running in just a few minutes. By the next day, we could already see a lot of malicious emails getting blocked. The interface is very intuitive. It's easy to search for messages, submit for reanalysis, send to or release from quarantine, etc. We were looking specifically for email protection from phishing and whaling. Protection of OneDrive and SharePoint files is a nice bonus. Their support team has always been responsive and very helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
We have occasionally seen email delivery delayed by up to 15 minutes. Examining the headers show the delay is after Exchange Online forwards the emails to Avanan, and before Exchange Online receives it back. This doesn't occur often.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Prior to Avanan, users complained often of spear phishing and whaling. Specifically, emails impersonating our CEO requesting changes to bank account information were being received multiple times per day. We would also see the standard emails asking us to purchase iTunes gift cards, etc. After pilot projects with several vendors, Avanan came out on top. It was the most cost-effective option, and among the more effective solutions. We still see very few false positives, and almost no phishing/spam emails get through anymore. Avanan, plus our user education and testing efforts have drastically reduced the burden on our help desk to deal with these issues. In addition, Avanan also detects malware in our OneDrive and SharePoint libraries.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I highly recommend doing a POC and prove to yourself how intuitive and effective Avanan is.
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.
A first line defense to protect your emails and collaboration with the cloud
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.
