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.

Handles security, malware and spam of email systems
We use Email Security Gateway on email systems for handling security, malware, and spam.  The solution is easier to manage than FortiMail. You can implement policies easily.  The solution does not always effectively identify zero day spam and phishing, but once reported the correction occurs very…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Overall, this tool's cost is fairly cheap given its features and excellent output."
"Email encryption enhances end to end security of any data before it passes through the networking system."
"This software has kept the company information systems very secure for a long period, and we are proud of that."
"It can detect corrupted files and filters out documents with viruses."
"Prevention of account takeover by ransomware attackers has solved long-term problems that had become normal in the company."
"Avanan is just outstanding on how efficient and effective their learning modules are to pick up on these different pieces."
"In the overall experience, I have come to conclude that Avanan has the best email management tools that can prevent cyber attacks."
"We are grateful for the solution and its great advances in connecting teams under a secure environment that cybercriminals cannot compromise."
"The solution is easier to manage than FortiMail. You can implement policies easily."
"It helps reduce spam and phishing attacks."
 

Cons

"When sending bulky emails, the system slows down and takes a long time before it responds effectively to our requests."
"The user experience must be improved."
"It should also offer a quick backup in case any email is wrongly quarantined or deleted to ensure no data loss."
"The system could be designed to give corporate emails first priority due to demands."
"The cost is higher for SMEs, however, the pricing and billing criteria can be lessened to accommodate more willing customers."
"The response to new threats is sometimes slow and can lead to data compromise."
"Being cloud first and because we are in the movie business, we use a lot of Macintoshes. So, there is absolutely no reason for us to have Active Directory whatsoever. However, if you are using Office 365, you must have Active Directory in order to reset passwords. Even though we have a single sign-on provider, we must have Azure Active Directory for Office 365, which is really stupid. As a cloud application, you would think that I don't need Active Directory, which I don't need for anything else except Office 365. We have one server inside that space to help us manage Active Directory just for Office 365. This is a very sore point, but it is what it is."
"The email filtration system is not well set since it sometimes blocks useful emails that are safe."
"Its pricing could be affordable."
"The solution does not always effectively identify zero day spam and phishing, but once reported the correction occurs very quickly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is not the cheapest in the market."
"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."
"Good pricing arrangement as an SaaS offering."
"Avanan’s price is comparable to Barracuda."
"Email Security Gateway's pricing is good."
