What is Check Point Email Security? Avanan is now Check Point Email Security, 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.

What differentiates Check Point Email Security from other similar products?

From my prior experience working with various different employer's IT departments over the years Avanan has an excellent reputation for always being so efficient and useful to understand and onboard new employees with.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I love how our organization within the transportation, logistics, and shipping sector can carry out our daily workload with greater peace of mind and reassurance overall in having Avanan by our side every step of the way.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Aside from the initial learning curve taking some time to ensure our older employees feel fully comfortable, there really are no downsides to using Avanan. Really the learning curve isn't even that bad compared to other corporate software we've had to adopt over the years.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If your small-mid sized organization is considering adapting Avanan I can 100% attest that the investment is incredibly worth it as both yours and your employee's overall productivity will increase exponentially by having greater security presence, cloud features, data storage tools, and collaboration insight to help ensure only the smoothest transitions and transactions during the work day! If Avanan itself is a product you might be thinking about adapting however might not be able to afford yet, I cannot stress enough how crucial it is to have a secure cloud system in place like Avanan.

Pros

  • Reliable
  • Performance Enhancing
