Robert Melendez - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Provides strong data protection with virtual patching and vulnerability assessments
I primarily use it to monitor database access, particularly in banking and similar environments. It ensures that IT personnel and others do not create unauthorized accounts or users. Collaboration security assists in tracking database access and alerts in case of suspicious activity One of the…

"The product protects my email."
"Trellix Collaboration Security is valued for being a stable and comprehensive solution that fulfills customer needs."
 

Cons

"Integration with various SaaS offerings, who are leading in the SaaS market."
"Familiarization with performance for new teams may take a long time."
"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 system could be designed to give corporate emails first priority due to demands."
"The customer service team could come up with clear tutorials on how to use this platform to help new teams."
"They should come up with a mobile application so that it can be more flexible."
"The cost can be reviewed to enable SMEs to acquire it and enjoy great security features."
"There are times when we have false positives."
"In general, our company should make the tool more robust to protect our systems."
"If they want to be the primary or best solution, they need to have better email management features."
"I would like the solution to be able to automatically quarantine the malicious emails before getting to the user's mailbox and continue with regular email operations. This could result in the user clicking the email before the purge operation is completed."
"Sometimes especially zero-day spam emails can be passed to the user's inbox."
"There is a need for improved integration with totally different products, such as a rapid server."
"The spam detection feature could be better."
"The solution must provide features to scan QR codes for threats."
"Sometimes, integration can be challenging, impacting its stability, which is why I rate it a five out of ten."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Good pricing arrangement as an SaaS offering."
"The product is not the cheapest in the market."
"Avanan’s price is comparable to Barracuda."
"The pricing of Avanan is reasonable."
"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."
"I rate the product price as nine out of ten, where ten is the most expensive, and one is the cheapest. There is no need to pay any extra charges apart from the licensing costs."
"The cost is very high."
"The solution requires a license to be purchased for every user."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis."
