Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I'm an end-user of the Agari Phishing Defense application. The application finds almost all the attacks that come my inbox way and pushes them to Junk Email and to the 'Agari-Quarantine' folder for all the attacks found so far. Simply put, the app does what it intends to do to stop attacks like spoofing and emails like login, attachments, invoices, etc. The product also gives the visibility of the attacks by classification like malicious links, and attachments.

Pros

  • It finds the attacks well and moves them to Quarantine folder.
  • Finds the phishing and spam emails and moves.
  • If Agari Phishing Defense misses to find an email, and we have doubt opening it. We can mark the email. Agari Phishing Defense instantly does analysis and sends the report whether it's safe or not.
  • It has best simulation mechanism to teach end-users about the attacks.

Cons

  • We use the outlook365 plugin I find it's difficult to use on https://outlook.office.com/

Return on Investment

  • It has given confidence on networks, applications, data, attachments, and links in the email.
  • Best mechanism to identify spoofing emails, spams, and phishing.
  • Visibility of the attacks and safety from attackers.

Cons

  • A vital business tool, but at a somewhat high cost for small businesses.
  • Some new functions are not quite responsive, so adding them after they have been completed would be ideal.
  • Simplifying your registration would be a great help in saving time.
  • Having adequate knowledge to handle the software makes it easier to use it and allows it to function properly.
