Advanced email security done right!

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. Since we implemented Avanan, we have only had a handful of emails that users have requested to be released from quarantine. Our administrative burden has been significantly reduced. It just woks.

Pros:

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 responding to phishing attempts by near 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?

Cons:

My only dislike is, honestly, that I didn't learn about Avanan sooner.

Reasons for switching to Avanan

Email filtering that works - Avanan

Well if you want to discuss the implementation... it was less than 5 minutes and closer to 3 minutes to setup. My systems will continue to learn over time with the AI capabilities but, in general, it is a service which is what I expect to pay for and not have to do the work for the solution.

Pros:

I would have to say the simplicity of use is the "most liked". I do not want a solution which I have to babysit or maintain. I wanted a solution which works out-of-the-box and continues to protect. That is Avanan.

Cons:

Overall there is nothing which comes to mind, as "like least", as the solution is much easier to operate and more accurate than my prior solution.

Reasons for switching to Avanan

Mimecast, although another good solution, it was overly complicated and required too much maintenance. In addition, the cost were much higher for the software and team required to support it.

Avanan - Great Product For Phishing Protection

Pros:

Ease of use and transparent reporting. When properly configured most tasks can be done without leaving the Avanan interface. Dashboard is clean and informative and product integrates cleanly into GSuite for all us K-12 people out there.

Cons:

It took a little bit to get the product configured properly and it took a few phone calls with support. Around the same time Google was making changes to their APIs so while set up took a bit longer it likely was not Avanans fault.

Reasons for choosing Avanan

Better integration with cloud based service + no hardware onsite to maintain.

Eradicate phishing emails and track suspicious login activity all in one platform

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.

Pros:

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.

Cons:

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.

Avanan Email Security is Awesome!

I love Avanan. We have had no issues with their service. The few false positives we get are reviewed and allowed. There aren't any issues that require constant support. Everyone I've talked to at Avanan, from the sales rep to the support guys have all been very helpful and able to help me out.

Pros:

Avanan was easy to setup. An onboarding specialist walks you through the process and helps configure the settings that you need. Avanan is very affordable. And best of all, it stops all phishing and malicious emails from getting through to my users. We have not had a security issue since implementing it. Before Avanan, we were getting hundreds of phishing, malicious and scam emails a day. Now they are all caught by Avanan's filters and my users don't see any of them. I no longer worry about someone getting their credentials stolen or clicking on a link they weren't supposed to through email.

Cons:

Nothing. It just works. And if you need support for something, they respond via email within minutes. Excellent service!

Reasons for choosing Avanan

I first heard of Avanan at a security tradeshow. There were other products I was interested in that added security to our email. But I didn't know of any solutions that did what Avanan did at that cost. So it was the only choice for me and I don't regret it.

Pros:

What I like most is the ease of use and support. It is fairly easy for me to find something in the Dashboard and when I do have a question or require support, Avanan's team is quick to answer. I also like that you can add or remove security services. The ones available are reputable ones.

Cons:

The only thing I wish Avanan could do is strip emails from our users' mailboxes in the event a bad email made it through to multiple users. It would just make it quicker to prevent them from seeing it. Avanan does, however, have the ability to quarantine emails in groups so that is a good work around that.

Reasons for choosing Avanan

Avanan integrated very well with our G-Suite infrastructure, it was easy to deploy, support is great, and their team checks up on us often to ensure we as customers have our questions answered and to inform us of new features that they are rolling out.

Pros:

I very much enjoy how the application is API based instead of working as a MX record. This can complicate things and makes it easy when needed to bypass and just have e-mail sent out directly to users should issues arise. (Instead of having to wait for MX records to be changed.) The interface is well-made and fairly intuitive and Avanan has a good habit of taking advise when issues or delays are noticed when using there interface.

Cons:

The whitelist does not always work. Users receiving messages from multiple domains with the same name have a habit of getting caught even when whitelisted.
