We performed a comparison between Avanan and Zscaler DLP based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The threat detection tools enable us to ascertain malware and phishing messages across the email network infrastructure."
"The most valuable feature of Avanan is its effectiveness. When scanning incoming emails for threats it can in an automated fashion, quarantine suspicious attachments."
"Email encryption enhances end to end security of any data before it passes through the networking system."
"Avanan is a stable software. My company hasn't faced any issues, bugs, or problems with the performance of Avanan."
"When we don't understand some functionalities, the customer support staff responds fast to our calls and provides immediate action."
"Email Attachment Protection detects any insecure files and quickly blocks them to prevent the spread of viruses to other secure documents."
"The program has reduced the dangers related to phishing, malware, ransomware, and other vulnerabilities."
"The ease of installation and the AI capacity of the product are valuable."
"As a cloud-based service, it is very easily implemented."
"The policies are very easy to implement."
"On DLP terms, Zscaler Cloud DLP ensures that data doesn't go outside of the organization. So on the network level, Zscaler does a pretty good job."
"The UI is easy to use."
"Its impressive scalability allows the combination of multiple dictionaries and using them as one engine, resulting in narrower data loss gaps."
"It is a very scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The product’s most valuable features are data discovery, activity control, and zero trust exchange."
"Zscaler Cloud DLP provides you with basic DLP features that you get out of the box such as keywords, regular expressions, and data identifiers, for example, your social security numbers, and credit card numbers, with everything built into the product, so you can directly use those features within the policies. You don't need to create it from scratch, and to me, this is the biggest benefit of Zscaler Cloud DLP. You have a lot of templates to choose from in the solution, rather than having to create templates from scratch or reinvent templates."
"Sometimes it seemed like the allow list wasn't working. I've created many allow list rules however, they still seem to be blocked; the same is true with the blocked list rules."
"Avanan doesn't cover certain tool segments."
"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 overall user interface is not attractive. It needs some improvement."
"It should reduce the amount of time needed for thorough scanning."
"It is complicated for new users unfamiliar with the modern cloud networking infrastructure."
"The system response in a slow computing device affects performance when sending and receiving emails."
"They should come up with a mobile application so that it can be more flexible."
"There could be a feature to view the VPN tunnel activities in terms of configuration."
"Price-wise, it is a costly product and it should be reduced."
"The product must allow users to check logs for an entire year in the local console."
"You won't find anything that can help you with the configuration part and other areas related to the product if you search for proper or exact details of Zscaler Cloud DLP online in very easy language."
"Another area of improvement is implementation through non-client connectors. The solution can be implemented in two ways. One uses the back file; the other one uses client connectors. So the client connector is pretty fast, but when it comes to non-client connectors and procedures, it's kind of delayed and slow."
"We have issues with the tool's maintenance and networking. It should be able to work in offline mode as well."
"There aren't really any missing features that I have witnessed."
"The tool must provide IP-blocking features."
