Ready to Switch From Your Secure Email Gateway? These Companies Are Glad They Did

Written by Jeremy Fuchs | June 1, 2022

Every day, companies switch from Secure Email Gateways to Avanan. In fact, 60% of our deals are replacements of SEGs or ATP. 

Every company always has slightly different reasons for switching, but a few things stand out: Avanan has a better catch rate, better UI, and is easier to manage.

If you're unhappy with your SEG, look at some of the reasons that these companies made the switch--and why they haven't looked back.
