Vice President Information Technology at Makeready

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.

Bruno Rolland

Commercial Director at DC Communication (DCC)

A stable tool capable of detecting malware while focusing on anti-phishing to protect its users

I don't see ISO 27001 in the solution. While working on the solution, sometimes a customer needs to have a conformity level of SOC 1 or SOC 2 or some other conformity level. I did not see the aforementioned conformity levels added to the solution. Concerning a bank, data can be confidential, and when a bank needs to transfer such data, it has to be specific to a certain level of conformity, which I did not see in the product. Vade needs to incorporate the aforementioned aspects to improve their solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Avanan is its effectiveness. When scanning incoming emails for threats it can in an automated fashion, quarantine suspicious attachments."

"The most valuable feature of Avanan is its Anti-Malware solution for Office 365, and box.com."

"When we don't understand some functionalities, the customer support staff responds fast to our calls and provides immediate action."

"It can retract unsafe emails and remove them from the entire communication channel."

"The ease of installation and the AI capacity of the product are valuable."

"Spam protection is the most valuable feature."

"It is simple to deploy this platform and interact with the set features."

"I like Avanan's SmartDLP module. It's seamless, and the administrative overhead is low. We aren't a very sophisticated operation. We just want to reduce our exposure, so we find ThreatCloud helpful. Avanan's acquisition by Check Point was beneficial for them."

More Avanan pros

"It is a stable solution...My company has no worries about the deployment phase of Vade for Office 365."

Cons

"The cost can be reviewed to enable SMEs to acquire it and enjoy great security features."

"When sending bulky emails, the system slows down and takes a long time before it responds effectively to our requests."

"The system could be designed to give corporate emails first priority due to demands."

"It is complicated for new users unfamiliar with the modern cloud networking infrastructure."

"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."

"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."

"There are times when we have false positives."

"The customer service team could come up with clear tutorials on how to use this platform to help new teams."

More Avanan cons

"Concerning a bank, data can be confidential, and when a bank needs to transfer such data, it has to be specific to a certain level of conformity, which I did not see in the product."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"Avanan’s price is comparable to Barracuda."

"The pricing of Avanan is reasonable."

"Good pricing arrangement as an SaaS offering."

"The product is not the cheapest in the market."

"Vade for Office 365 is a solution offered at competitive prices in the market...Payment has to be made for the whole bundle of Vade products."
