Avanan Complete Suite - Key Component of Layered Security Security Strategy
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of implementation Avanan with our O365 environment was fantastic. The Dashboard and on-demand reporting makes KPI management for security metrics a piece of cake.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing that I dislike about this product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using Avanan Advanced Anti-Phishing Bundle for Office 365 Email, Outbound DLP Connector for O365, Data Loss Prevention, Lastline: Sandbox Threat Emulation. One the many benefits was visibility of corporate security policy violations via the Shadow IT metrics.
Worth a direct comparison again any traditional security vendor. They'll win.
What do you like best about the product?
Biggest selling point was true API integration into our O365 tenant, protecting not only email but Sharepoint, Teams, etc. During the demo I felt the interface was intuitive and effective. And the price was very competitive with the alternatives. Support has been responsive and effective (only contacted a few times so far).
What do you dislike about the product?
Training the AI to weed out false positives is fairly straight-forward, but not much transparency on whether any difference is made. There is one kind of false positive (possible impersonation) that can't be trained out of the system and requires a manual whitelist rule. Considering the number of these we get, that list is growing and I feel it undercuts the whole AI/Machine Learning concept.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed another layer of protection from ransomware, social engineering, etc. Something that was fairly hands-off (small team) and intuitive to use. The combination of growth in our organization and end user technical ability required something more than what is inherent within O365. Aside from that protection, there is a side benefit of introducing our users to knowledge of these kinds of attacks and actually thinking about email/file security. We do plan on introducing actual security awareness training but the warning banners and notification of possible problems is an easy and non-invasive way to prep them.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're already within one of the other competitors ecosystem (Barracuda, Microsoft, etc) you might find it hard to break out. But the native API differentiator is huge (IMO) and worth a very close look. My impression is that many of the traditional security vendors have only grudgingly entered into this SaaS/API arena as they already had services/hardware that were great 5+ years ago and still making a profit. Don't be afraid to go with the best option that's unencumbered by that legacy. Since this is a SaaS product you're not committing to a 3-5 year deal and can easily move elsewhere if/when you need to.
Add Avanan to Your Shortlist
What do you like best about the product?
Avanan was very easy to integrate and configure for our environment without needing weeks to customize. Being API driven the PoC was simple to setup and non-intrusive. Even once we were in production, we have rarely needed to make adjustments. Typically only login to confirm and approve quarantine release requests from users.
We were very impressed with how modern its dashboard is compared to some of its more well-known competitors.
We were very impressed with how modern its dashboard is compared to some of its more well-known competitors.
What do you dislike about the product?
A few minor annoyances, such as some search fields are case-sensitive that should not be. Feature-wise it is very complete.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were ready to replace our on-premises email gateway migrating email to the cloud and wanted a cloud-based security solution to no longer be dependent on on-premises appliances for mail flow. The anti-spam and anti-phishing filtering is much improved over our previous solution cutting down on the number of incidents requiring our intervention. The impersonation workflow has been great giving us another layer of protection against bad actors.
Email Security made easy, elegant and essential!!
What do you like best about the product?
The user interface is simple and straight forward, there is a beta preview and I have seen a few improvements, not that any were needed, in reviewing the alerts and emails. Email security has been and continues to be a primary driver for my IT department. Avanan has given my company insight into the emails in a concise, easy format to review.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like it better if the default view of geo logons, those that are made from various locations would be for successful logon not failures. This generates a bigger number and looks worse to the reviewer.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is a great tool, I have prevented a few accounts from logins after a geo listing issue and inquired. This has helped admins mitigate compromised accounts.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
DO the trail and work it with various members of your team.
Easy to deploy, configure and maintain and it does the job
What do you like best about the product?
Since implementing we have had zero security breaches, but many attempts - love te reporting showing attempted breaches and number stopped
What do you dislike about the product?
Actually very happy with the product - nothing I really dislike - was easy to set up, easy to configure and maintain. Love the dashboard - much easier than having to wade through all of the MS 365 security and figure it out - and since it sits in front of MS 365 it catches stuff before it even gets in. Also, tech support is very responsive - so nothing to really dislike (so far).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
MS 365 Email security and MS 365 Data Security (One Drive and SharePoint)
Avanan gets rid of phishing, spam and malware without much effort and gives you peice of mind!
What do you like best about the product?
Since we implemented this, virtually we get no phishing emails and I haven't had an issue with any malware in our enterprise anymore. Its helped my helpdesk be able to be more productive since we have less cases involving malware, spam and phishing
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much to dislike, the support is extremely fast in responding. But would like the option of phoning in if there is something important we need to ask but since they are so fast in responding, not the hugest deal.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Not only is helpdesk not getting complaints about emails from people which was our intention. It is also saving our end users time, since the inboxes are cleaner and they can respond to real emails instead of weeding through phishing/spam emails.
Advanced Solution That Simply Works
What do you like best about the product?
Unlike traditional email filters, this solution is fully implemented in a few clicks. Security offerings seem to be as good as or better than competitor offerings. IRaaS adds value by having security experts review each restore request for validity. Offloads effort spent by internal IT team.
What do you dislike about the product?
No user-reviewable quarantine for graymail. All restore requests must go through administrator, though I suppose this is more secure.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Virus/malware and credential harvesting attacks through email were prevalent. We have not had any such attacks get through since implementing Avanan.
Great service - simple and effective
What do you like best about the product?
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 is quick and easy to setup with immediately visible security benefits. Highly recommended.
What do you like best about the product?
The customer experience, through POC and setup was exceptional. The product took than 5 minutes to install in our 365 tenant and the results were immediate. The dashboard tells you everything you need to know, with the ability to drill down to all the detail you could want. It's very easy to configure and brand any user notifications (if you choose). It is a powerful yet very easy to understand product. This product just works. Avanan also looks historically (12 months) at user’s mailboxes, identifying patterns of communication both internal and external. This enables potential “account takeover” threats to be flagged. It also provides the ability to search for any email in all mailboxes and remove it. This is a very powerful tool. It can be used to remove emails that get through (hopefully very few) and are subsequently identified, or indeed even an internal email that needs “recalling”. In addition it highlights what “shadow” IT is being used, such as Dropbox or WeTransfer. This can be used to educate users in approved corporate systems such as OneDrive, instead of Dropbox.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing so far. We have been using for little over a month live plus 3 weeks in trial.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Office 365’s popularity makes it a prime target for targeted attack and this is in line with what we see at WWT. Too many phishing emails get past basic EOP and arrive in users mailboxes. Although we have mandatory cyber security awareness training, we are then relying on the users vigilance. We have seen an immediate reduction in such threats reaching the users since installing Avanan (so far 100% protection).
