Robert Melendez - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Enables organizations to monitor the network and protect themselves from data leakage
The initial setup process is very simple and easy. We have no issues to do it for ourselves or our customers. The deployment takes less than 20 days. The integration is very simple. However, first, we must understand what we want to have on our network and what we want to prevent. If we don't have this information before we start the configuration, we will be lost. We must know what kind of protection we need in our company. We have LGPD in Brazil. It is similar to GDPR in Europe. It prevents any personal information from being linked to other companies without permission. We have to take care of the personal information of our customers, employees, and partners. To deploy the tool, we must understand what we need to do. We must download the whole package and have our infrastructure ready to receive it. We must get the SSL certification and start to configure our platform. When the process is finished, we must roll out a small portion of our network to ensure everything will be well. After that, we must do the full rollout.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"When we don't understand some functionalities, the customer support staff responds fast to our calls and provides immediate action."
"The most valuable feature of Avanan is its Anti-Malware solution for Office 365, and box.com."
"Spam protection is the most valuable feature."
"The ease of installation and the AI capacity of the product are valuable."
"It is simple to deploy this platform and interact with the set features."
"Email inspection has saved many employees from spam attacks and viruses from unauthorized sources."
"The program has reduced the dangers related to phishing, malware, ransomware, and other vulnerabilities."
"It can retract unsafe emails and remove them from the entire communication channel."
"They have a fingerprint feature that is very awesome. OCR is very awesome to have too."
"The main thing that I like about GTB is that it has a single agent for DLP and data classification. You can use the same agent. In terms of licensing too, it has a single license. When it comes to data classification, it supports open-source document platforms such as ChainSoft and OpenOffice."
"This solution has improved our organization, primarily in helping to develop my business processes, and for confidential government information."
"This solution helps classify what is confidential and what is not, allowing products to be installed at home if they do not contain confidential information."
"All features in GTB are very valuable and effective."
"The monitoring features are valuable."
"The product has a centralized console for everything."
"When comparing GTB Technologies Inspector to other solutions you receive a good value for your money when considering all the features and benefits."
 

Cons

"It is complicated for new users unfamiliar with the modern cloud networking infrastructure."
"Email querying is not efficient throughout."
"It should reduce the amount of time needed for thorough scanning."
"There are times when we have false positives."
"Since it periodically identifies ordinary emailers as spam or dubious, they may need some AI logic improvement."
"The customer service team could come up with clear tutorials on how to use this platform to help new teams."
"The user experience must be improved."
"In Avanan, the email channel is one of the channels where data leakage happens, and they need to consider it from a DLP perspective."
"It would be great if they have information rights management (IRM) on the same agent."
"The tool should include better AI features."
"To stay competitive, they should expand to smartphones."
"They have a roadmap for the Linux platform and Mac as well, and in the next quarter, they might have patch management also for Windows. However, they don't have that much for Linux and Mac. So, we need those things in Linux and Mac as well."
"The solution’s performance must be improved."
"The solution could improve by providing additional availability requirements."
"The performance could be better."
"The product needs to improve its support so that users can just log in and create tickets as opposed to sending emails. Sending emails is difficult to track. It also needs to work on its analytics platform."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is not the cheapest in the market."
"Good pricing arrangement as an SaaS offering."
"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."
"The pricing of Avanan is reasonable."
"Avanan’s price is comparable to Barracuda."
"They offer a lot of features in a single bundle. So, if you want to remove some features from GTB, you can remove those. You don't need to buy those, and the price will reduce accordingly. I am very happy with the pricing."
"The tool has a fair price."
"The tool's pricing is affordable and based on the number of endpoints."
"Its price is very reasonable and competitive."
"The tool is not expensive."
"When comparing GTB Technologies Inspector to other solutions you receive a good value for your money when considering all the features and benefits."
