What is Avanan?
Avanan is a cloud email security platform that pioneered and patented a new approach to prevent sophisticated attacks. The platform uses APIs to block phishing, malware, and data leakage in the line of communications traffic. This means we catch threats missed by Microsoft while adding a transparent layer of security for the entire suite that also protects other collaboration tools like Slack.

Excellent email protection
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Avanan from other similar products?
From my point of view, comparing it to Microsoft ATP, we've seen that Avanan detects a lot more malicious and suspicious emails that ATP. Also, the added features and the capability to have a management console/dashboard that gives full visibility helps a lot.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
It's pretty user friendly and still protects really well against malicious emails.
What do you dislike most about this product?
The management console may be a little confusing.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Consider this product over ATP, it offers way better security and features.
