Product Description

Abnormal Security provides everything you need for comprehensive email protection, detection and response.

How do you position yourself against your competitors?

Organizations requiring comprehensive email protection are stuck with multiple products and incompatible architectures. Traditional solutions struggle to block socially-engineered attacks that pass reputation checks, have no links or attachments, and appear to come from trusted sources. Further, security teams lack insight into their cloud email security posture, often unaware of changes that may add risk to their environment. With Abnormal, you can simplify your stack and increase your protection, preventing your users from receiving inbound email attacks and understanding configuration changes in your environment.

What do you like best about Abnormal Security?

They were great before Microsoft stepped in and started a cash flow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Abnormal Security?

Over the past year the amount and quality of the catches has deteriorated. In all fairness, we are a Google environment and that really doesn't seem to be their focus. Maybe MS Customers have seen better performance but for us, the items they miss are too easy to spot and even old standard software would have caught a lot of the ones they seem to be missing now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Abnormal Security solving and how is that benefiting you?

The old way of manually removing unwanted email from our network that Google misses. The 360 report works great for this process and removes all of the unwanted emails from all inboxes but lately having to submit more and more 360 tickets to get missed attacks remediated.

What do you like best about Abnormal Security?

Easy onboarding. Integrates smoothly with Microsoft and KnowBe4. I use the dashboard every day when I need to investigate. Their Search and Respond feature is one of my favorite go to hunting email tools. Their backend spam and phishing policies work extremely well and have saved our users several times over. Fantastic customer support, have had several very productive meeting with our client success manager. Reporting mailbox provides a simple setup for automated analysis. Great all around product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Abnormal Security?

Cannot add bulk allow/block lists. Search and Respond does not tie into the automated system and provide a corrective action for false negatives, unnecesarrily increases risk. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Abnormal Security solving and how is that benefiting you?

Post delivery email solution. Fits right in with M365. Little micromanagement gives admins the free time to do other things. A huge relief. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Abnormal Security?

The integration and tuning process was a quick and easy process. This product saves a bunch of admin time from having to go through and triage/investigate a ton of emails. The search and respond feature is also fantastic and enables the admins with some pretty powerful/useful tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Abnormal Security?

The ability to create custom dashboards and different types of reports would be useful. Individual admin access to alerts and notification settings would be useful as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Abnormal Security solving and how is that benefiting you?

Alot of times we are only aware of malicious or spam emails when end users report them. With the Abnormal platform, it enables automatic detect/respond which further protects our environment and end users and it also frees up our admins to be able to work on their day to day responsibilities.

What do you like best about Abnormal Security?

The ease of use of the product is amazing! I'm able to get all of the information I need when going into the reported email, that would take me 5-10 minutes per email. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Abnormal Security?

The cost of the product is the only complaint I have with the product. It's 2-3x as expensive as the alternative Proofpoint. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Abnormal Security solving and how is that benefiting you?

Solving the amount of time that it takes to go through each email by automating the process. Each email goes through the email gateway and then Abnormal after. Providing an Attack Type, Attack Analysis and Attachment analysis is great at first glanse. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Abnormal Security?

Fast API based integration with Exchange Online, quickly categorizes and moves junk email and phishing email where it needs to go. No separate email quarantine for users to visit and manage, very fast to setup! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Abnormal Security?

There is currently no features to wrap URLs in protection like SafeLinks, or explode and evaluate attachments like SafeAttachments Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Abnormal Security solving and how is that benefiting you?

Helping us protect Exchange Online mailboxes from spam and phishing email, in addition to alerting us and automatically remediating suspected compromised accounts. Saves me a lot of time where I don't as an administrator have to check separate spam quarantines and make judgement calls to release or delete emails. Is much much faster than Exchange's email searching functions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Abnormal Security?

It does not require MX record changing to implement the solution. The onboarding is very fast and simple. Its an API solution so you don't need to run an appliance and the email does not get rerouted to their mail system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Abnormal Security?

Sometimes they block legitimate emails. If you have not communicated with someone at all, and you get an email out of the blue from a legitimate user the email might be blocked as their AI might see it as unusuall behavior. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Abnormal Security solving and how is that benefiting you?

Its acting as our primary email protection mechanism/vendor. Its scanning and blocking all suspicious emails. Its protecting from smap, fishing attachs, malicious attachements, malicious links etc Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
