| CTO at Klaatu IT Security Ltd | 4.5 | I use Fortra's Agari for marketing and brand protection, appreciating its email discovery capabilities and phishing detection. However, the user interface feels clunky, and I would prefer more automation in the onboarding process. |
| CTO at Klaatu IT Security Ltd | 4.0 | I highly recommend Agari for robust brand protection, visibility, and DMARC management across complex domains. It's a stable, scalable solution with excellent support, simplifying a complicated protocol, and setup is straightforward. |
| Senior Email Engineer at a legal firm with 1,001-5,000 employees | 4.5 | I primarily use Agari for email remediation, effectively catching malicious messages that bypass other filters. Their flexibility in implementing my feature requests is impressive, and I highly recommend their email security solution, giving it a 9/10. |
| Managing Director at a tech vendor with 11-50 employees | 4.5 | As a consultant, I find Agari offers excellent brand protection for large enterprises, is stable, and easy to set up. However, the cloud model concerns some financial clients and it's not suited for SMBs. |
We use the solution for marketing and brand protection.
I am impressed with the tool's discovery capabilities which help me find out who is sending the emails on the company's behalf. I also find the ability to detect and generate reports on phishing emails a valuable feature.
The product's user interface is clunky. We have difficulty in finding what we need. I would also like to see automation in the onboarding processes.
I have been working with the product for four years.
I would rate the tool's stability a ten out of ten.
I would rate the solution's scalability a ten out of ten. It is very scalable. About 5000 email accounts use the solution in my company.
We use the product's technical support a lot and they are pretty good.
Positive
The solution's setup was complex and I would rate the tool's setup a seven out of ten. The tool's deployment took us four months to complete since the client took a lot of time to track down the emails.
The tool is not expensive and I would rate its pricing a four out of ten.
I would rate the solution a nine out of ten. We have mainly enterprise customers for the solution. The product offers huge benefits since email compromises are one of the biggest sources of business costs in cyber security.
We are using Agari primarily for brand protection. The environment is a complex set of domain names and subdomains from various acquisitions, as well a number of outbound marketing services that require monitoring and full DMARC protection.
Agari gives us visibility of our domain security, helps us manage our SPF, DKIM and DMARC records, prevents spoofing of our domains for phishing and ensures that our marketing and other emails are received correctly and not rejected as spam.
What we find the most valuable is Brand protection. It's very good and it does what it says.
It's easy to use.
It comes with a lot of helpful tips for complicated areas.
The DMARC protocol is quite complicated, which may not be something that could be improved. The new addition is BIMI, which provides secure brand recognition with delivered emails.
It takes a bit of learning. Agari guides you through it and the interface is improving. The documentation provided is quite good.
We have been working with Agari for several years, since before it was acquired by HelpSystems.
We are working with the latest version.
It's a very stable solution and you can scale it as much as you need. It has features that can take over the DKIM and SPF records, which means that you don't have a scaling limit of 10 on SPF entries.
They have a macro approach and it works very well.
It's a scalable product.
Technical support is very good.
We have a customer support manager and he is very good and very helpful.
We are also using Egress for anti-phishing.
The initial setup is straightforward. It's very easy to install.
The deployment is ongoing. We are project managing it for the client.
Many clients are working through the implementation cycle with standard protocols.
Everyone has a different implementation. With all of the service providers, some of them implement DMARC differently from others.
It takes a while because you have to locate all of the email senders. Quite often, you find things internally that nobody knew about. We are finding a lot of internal usages that should not have been happening, which is very useful for improving security over time.
Around 60%
Before we choose any product we took a look at all of the competitors, and Agari stood out.
I would definitely recommend this solution to others who are interested in using it.
I would rate Agari an eight out of ten.
We mainly use Agari for email remediation.
They are very flexible as far as feature requests go. Once per quarter, they have an insider customer meeting that they invite you to, and they go over what features are coming up that are in development, and they actually invite you to these meetings and you can actually speak to them about what you would like to see in their product. A lot of times they've listened to us and put these requests into the product, which is pretty nice.
If spam or some kind of malicious email gets past Mimecast and gets into our email environment, we can go into Agari and we can search for it. We can actually enforce it and rip it out of the user's mailbox.
If we get a false-positive, there's an actual way we can kind of align the email that comes in. A lot of times we'll get an alert saying we received a package delivery from UPS or Amazon, for example. For some reason, that might get flagged as suspicious, but if we look at the email closely, we'll realize it's coming from a legitimate source. We can actually go into the email in tracking and use a "fix button", or something, and then we can add it to a bypass list. From there, we can actually add some comments and notes in there so we don't get that again.
I have been using Agari for roughly four years.
The stability is good. We have their service, which is on Amazon Web Services. We also have some Red Hat Linux appliances that we use in conjunction with that, on-prem, so it's kind of like a hybrid.
The technical support is pretty good. They've gotten better as the company has been growing. As far as sending an email or requesting support, they usually get back to us within a good amount of time.
The pricing depends on the number of users; per how many mailboxes you have, but they're pretty negotiable with that, too.
I would say definitely check them out. Besides their phishing defense, they have another platform for brand protection. So it's kind of like looking on the outside in by your domain reputation and other things that are out there. They have more than one product. It's definitely worth looking at as far as email security. They're pretty flexible, too. It's like setting up a lab environment or even doing a trial for 30, 60, or 90 days. That's definitely worth checking out.
Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I would give Agari a rating of nine.
I am a consultant with a solution provider and Agari is one of the products that we implement for our customers. It is used for DMARC and can be used to protect against email attacks, such as phishing attempts.
It is really important for large companies to have the brand protection that is provided by Agari.
Agari offers very good brand protection and they are the core founder of the DMARC standard.
Some customers in the financial sector do not like the cloud solution because they don't want data to be transferred to a US-based cloud. In these cases, customers would like to have an on-premises deployment.
It is not tailored for the SMB market and not really deployable in such an environment.
I have been working with Agari for one year.
This is a mature product and it is stable.
It is really good at scaling up to the largest companies but not so much at the low end. All of our customers for Agari are large companies.
I have not been in contact with technical support.
The initial setup is easy. It is primarily a managed service and there is not a lot that has to be done by the company. Depending on the module being installed, it may take 48 hours or upwards to deploy.
The price of the licensing is based on the volume of email.
I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.
