Phishing
Fastest implementation EVER!
What do you like best about the product?
API-based integration, easy implementation, immediate results, "soft" approach to changes
What do you dislike about the product?
This is not directly related to AVAVAN but you will have to check your licensing levels, especially for messaging apps (SLACK and Teams) in order for AVANAN functionality to work. This was not specifically spelled out in AVAVANs white papers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Email and messaging security, DLP
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Onboarding team is top notch. Use your trial time to set up the environment, if done right transition to Production will take minutes
"Avanan makes an amazing product"
What do you like best about the product?
Everything was super easy to setup and manage, the interface itself is very intuitive. We didn't see how many are passing through Office filters until we install Avanan. So far the product has not disappointed, rather it's helping better than any other product we have ever used.
What do you dislike about the product?
what can you dislike about a product that actually WORKS!!!!! if I has to pick one thing, it would be the delay when manually selecting item to send to spam or quarantine.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Avanan to stop what Office 365's fails to identify and quarantine phishing attempts. So far we have eliminated the vast majority of SPAM and malicious emails. I was very surprised to see how many actually sneak through some of the 365 filters, and now we have something that does more then just Office365, we can scan dropbox, onedrive, etc...
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Avanan makes life easy, the ui is made well, don't have to dig for information, everyting is right there.
Get email security off your plate!
What do you like best about the product?
Avanan took legitimately less than 10 minutes to set up for our trial, and hooking it into Office365 was easy and straight-forward. Simplicity. Why would you want to manually manage email security all day long or even create rules and policies or add complexity to your environment when a solution like Avanan Email Security does it for you.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not so much of a dislike as the only part that takes effort, but it does take some time to dial in your solution customized to fit your company.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have a lot of users managed by a tiny IT team so I'm always looking for ways to simplify tasks that eat up much of our time. There is a lot of competition in this space, so i'd get a trial going, There is no MX redirect so you can test live with limited or even test users, ( I did mine live). Once you dial in on your settings you don't see any false positives and it's rare I see hard to detect social engineering/Phishing attacks get through.
Avanan has ben throughly vetted by our team and we highly recommend it!
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use and the ability of the product to intercept spoofed emails. The support has been spot on and helpful in configuration and also in explaining how the product works.
What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't had a bad experience as yet either with the product or support.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We had another product in place as a mail gateway and the ability to block spoofs was terrible. We trialed Avanan with the other product in place and it was able to catch the items that the other service allowed through. We are pleased with the support and the ability of that team to answer any questions we have had.
Avanan- Great Office365 security solution
What do you like best about the product?
Multiple Av blades available. Great anti phishing technic very good phishing emails filtering capabilities.
What do you dislike about the product?
Whitelisting and black listing GUI and functionality requires simplification and overall improvement
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are improving the protection level of our e-mail Office365 deployment. And Avanan helps us to prevent viruses and phishing emails
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great product easy setup and use
Avanan - A Game Changer for Office 365 Security
What do you like best about the product?
I like how simple Avanan was to set up. We were up and running in under 10 minutes. From there, Avanan mostly runs itself. Requires very little monitoring. I like how quickly support helps, when needed.
I like that Avanan is an inline email security product. Its able to catch malicious emails before they reach a user's mailbox. But, what I like even more is that Avanan is NOT an email gateway. This is important because with an email gateway you have to redirect your MX record to the email security provider, which is tipping off the attackers. When the attackers know which security product you're using, they can target you with known exploits for that product. Avanan does inline security in a different way. They use mail flow rules to redirect the email to their security servers, scan them, then send them back. This is all done near instantaneously.

What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing really. The only issue we have, which isn't Avanan's fault, is Microsoft ATP malware notifications get caught as malware by Avanan. This only happens because we're using both services. But Avanan is doing it's job.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When we migrated to Office 365, within a month we were constantly under attack. Phishing attacks leading to compromised accounts leading to more phishing campaigns using those compromised accounts. It was never ending. Microsoft's security was doing nothing to help. We reached out to Avanan. Set up a POC and instantly the attacks stopped. Well, Avanan was stopping them from ever reaching the user's mailboxes. Everyone was happy.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We migrated to Office 365 from an on-premise email system. We had no idea what was about to happen after migrating. We were never under constant phishing attacks until we migrated to Office 365. If you're using Office 365, or planning to move to it, you should seriously consider Avanan Cloud Email Security. Don't wait until you're under attack. I imagine this probably applies to any cloud email provider. We had the Office 365 E3 suite at the time. The included Microsoft email security is not sufficient. You need something like Avanan.
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.

Avanan -personal watch dog for your email security in the cloud
What do you like best about the product?
The highest technology based on AI with the capability to manage and control in one single dashboard which is so user-friendly makes it super powerful!
Avanan doesn't require an agent or any installation

What do you dislike about the product?
Very few cases of false-positive, not something that others not having but with the great responsive answer from their support it's like invisible.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a company that loves SaaS apps, we found Avanan as the best solution for us by protecting us from security incidents, spammers, and phishing attacks.
just about few days it prevents and quarantines a phishing attempt in our organization.

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.
