Enhances email security and has a very simple and easy-to-use UI
Spam protection is the most valuable feature. We have implemented the tool to enhance our email security. It helps prevent phishing attacks. The anomaly detection capabilities are baked into the security platform. The product integrates wonderfully with Microsoft 365. It's built right on a cloud platform and works almost natively. The solution has a very simple and easy-to-use UI. The tool appears extremely powerful and has a good solid feature set. It catches things that are bad for my environment. The user interface is good the way it is. If the solution continues down that path, I see no problems with the way it is going. It feels like a mature product.

Great protection, good privacy, and helpful support
The only thing I would like is a way to open the email that is going to quarantine. Based on the level of security, they cannot open the email to check the message. Even for the administrator, you have to create a security copy to be sent, which will lock the log support. It's not easy for an admin to check and decide if the email is good or not. That is the only thing that I'm seeing could be improved. Basically, ESET doesn't have the ability to let the administrator release an email showing the message on the email. It's not possible. If you want to have an email review, you have to select an option to send a copy. In the way that they designed the system, for security, they are not letting anyone even have the admin privileges to make this happen. Privacy is at a really high level.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"Prevention of account takeover by ransomware attackers has solved long-term problems that had become normal in the company."
"This software has kept the company information systems very secure for a long period, and we are proud of that."
"Avanan is a stable software. My company hasn't faced any issues, bugs, or problems with the performance of Avanan."
"We are grateful for the solution and its great advances in connecting teams under a secure environment that cybercriminals cannot compromise."
"Avanan is just outstanding on how efficient and effective their learning modules are to pick up on these different pieces."
"Avanan has been an everlasting security solution for our email and messaging applications."
"Email Attachment Protection detects any insecure files and quickly blocks them to prevent the spread of viruses to other secure documents."
"Email inspection has saved many employees from spam attacks and viruses from unauthorized sources."
"We are close to having 99% or 98% detection."
"It's a trustworthy solution that is easy to learn."
"The most valuable features are the precision of detection and the level of customization of the policy."
 

Cons

"The system could be designed to give corporate emails first priority due to demands."
"Email querying is not efficient throughout."
"They should come up with a mobile application so that it can be more flexible."
"Avanan doesn't cover certain tool segments."
"There are times when we have false positives."
"Frequent updates should be made on time to keep the system running effectively."
"Since it periodically identifies ordinary emailers as spam or dubious, they may need some AI logic improvement."
"Familiarization with performance for new teams may take a long time."
"It's not easy for an admin to check and decide if the email is good or not."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Having the flexibility and modeling to do the pricing that best fits the needs of the organization is incredibly ideal. That is what Avanan does. They know exactly how many users are using it, etc. We can tune the invoicing associated with how we are using the product so we can charge it back to the shows appropriately."
"The pricing of Avanan is reasonable."
"The product is not the cheapest in the market."
"Good pricing arrangement as an SaaS offering."
"Avanan’s price is comparable to Barracuda."
