Area 1 Security Reviews

Most of the configuration settings at one place.

Amazing support - dedicated account manager

Automated suggestions based on the attack pattern will add charm to the tool. Right now customer need to decide on the configuration, but suggestions will help in long run

Area1 is my company's email gateway; most configuration settings and domain monitoring are happening on this tool. It detects phishing email and add banners to such emails.

Area1 has been an essential tool for us defending from email attacks. We are also regularly given reports that let us know about targeted phishing campaigns against key users in our organization.

The status of the deployment can be hard to fully track down at times. The web UI has some information but it is limited as far as which sites/locations are using Area1. Would like more metrics on how to track usage.

Area1 is our primary solution and our first line of defense against malicious emails. Phishing is the primary and easiest method of attack in the current cyber security environment, so a thorough and reliable solution is mission critical.

the design and results of the application as well as the customer support. Both are top notch.

The company is pretty helpful all around.If you want me to pick something then it would be the time difference (EST vs PST) when I need them.

I would recommend that you try a proof of concept with this product. New console interface is great!

Naturally, it adds another layer of security to our email infrastructure. The product is catching stuff that our current Proofpoint systems is missing. A big plus on the reason we purchased this product and have been using it for a good few years now.

I like that Area1 is taking the guesswork away from our users on what is Spam. The ability to configure how suspicious mail is treated prior to reaching our user's inboxes is key in preventing phishing attacks.

I would like the ability for more granular roles and permissions. When we have an incident that needs to be analyzed, potentially by our Cybersecurity team, I would like to provision access solely to the email(s) in question as opposed to the whole platform.

We have significantly reduced the number of phishing emails that end up in our user's inboxes. This has a positive trickle-down effect, as users are forwarding fewer suspicious emails to our Cybersecurity team which allows them the ability to focus on other tasks.

I like the ease of installation and configuration of Area 1 Horizon. It was very quick to get up and running.

Some elements of the GUI could be designed to flow a little better or be built for better visibility.

I highly recommend Area 1 Horizon Phishing Security. It is incredibly easy to implement and the Admin console is easy to navigate. The implementation team was very easy to work with.

We introduced Area 1 to our environment as second-tier protection from phishing attacks and malicious emails. (In addition to our existing Barracuda Spam filter.) We have had very good results and have seen much cleaner mailboxes going forward.

The process to set this up was seamless! The people involved definitely made me an EASY Button for the best experience ever!

Can't think of a thing, since the group I was working with made everything simple!

Be sure to check out the Phishing Queen's blog, wonderful content!

My phishing worries are over. This is an excellent product that helps me sleep well knowing it is covering us!

Area 1 are spot on not only with rapidly detecting phishing emails issues, but also with the pay-per-phish model that works for companies of any size and infrastructure complexity.

No downsides as noted by me or my clients so far. My clientelle are pretty diverse, and they really appreciate the layer of security Area 1 provides.

Area 1 has helped reveal phishing emails that slip through the cracks and remain unnoticed by native solutions, Mimecast etc. Obviously, the clients who have never has a designated anti-phishing solution in place are even more impressed with how many malicious emails Area 1 can stop.

What I like best about Area 1 is the responsiveness. So far, every issue we've had was tracked, identified, resolved, or explained with minimal difficulty and time. The interface is intuitive and the support team is helpful when needed.

What I dislike about Area 1 is that there is not eml upload within the interface. For spam learning, we have to send an email with eml attachment to be reviewed. On a scale of 1 to 10 of how big of a deal this is, with 1 being lowest, this is a 3.

Area 1 Security is helping us solve the problem of email phishing, threat analysis, and overall email security.

Filtering our incoming mail and delivering to our inbox.

Sometime they miss some phishing e-mail.

Need to impreove support response

Securing our mail flow & keeping our end user system ransomware free

The dashboard is easy to understand and I love that the numbers increase while you're watching. Cool enough to display on a big screen to show that it's working!

When we do get spam messages and we forward them to the email address that is supposed to add them to the machine learning algorithm, we still get copies of the same email. I wish there was a way to prevent any more from coming immediately.

We use Google Workspace for our email. Google does identify and prevent a lot of spam. Some of the phishing emails are too smart for Google, though. Area1 helps prevent these from getting through. We had a single incident where a phishing email was successful and it cost us a lot more than Area1 does. Definitely a good preventive measure.
