Find out in this report how the two Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
Having both cloud and on-premise solutions enables effective file sanitization and vulnerability detection while preventing attacks that save costs and protect reputation.
MetaDefender has positively impacted my organization by reducing the risk of file-based attacks, which has significantly improved our overall defense against phishing and malware delivery techniques.
I believe it is worth the money, as it brings time-saving, cost-saving, and efficiency improvements, especially in large environments.
Customer support for IRONSCALES is outstanding.
I would rate their technical support as very good, as they respond promptly when my team opens a ticket.
This can save time because many vendors, when they check something and ask for logs, need those logs from the beginning.
Their customer service team, distribution team, and regional sales managers provide excellent aftercare and set us up for upselling across the entire MetaDefender portfolio.
I am happy with my interaction and communication with MetaDefender's team.
You need to do some sizing before installation and understand exactly what you are seeking from the solution and how it fits your organization.
When you use one database for all instances, you can deploy ten different servers or ten different instances with a separate database for each one.
We handle vast amounts of traffic from banking, defense, and critical national infrastructure.
The stability of the system is very high.
MetaDefender is 100% stable, making it one of the best cybersecurity solutions we offer.
I find it stable as it maintains good external stability with good availability and no major issues.
If there were clickable drill downs on specific users or specific correspondence to relate them to certain types of mails, that would be beneficial.
Having a more user-friendly UI would make it easier to identify features and options when using the tool.
Though this isn't problematic for our users, the content could be updated more frequently.
MetaDefender should have a wizard or general policies that can be used for 80 percent of customers.
Pricing is an important aspect in catering to customer budgets and is a must-have consideration for organizations.
Enhanced reporting and audit capabilities are not fully utilized.
While I don't specifically oversee the pricing details, I understand that IRONSCALES is in the range of similar solutions while offering better results.
When someone attempted to buy from us one instance of OPSWAT, it was about nine thousand dollars for multi-scanning with eight engines and also the CDR module.
Regarding pricing, setup cost, and licensing, I find the pricing for kiosks, cloud, deep CDR, and adaptive sandbox appropriate.
feedback indicates that our pricing is better than other vendor solutions.
IRONSCALES has positively impacted my organization by making email security simple in terms of controlling mails, understanding where the threats are, and protecting the organization itself.
The best features of IRONSCALES are that most alerts are validated through AI, which reduces the fatigue of alerts that need to be worked on by the team handling the alerts investigation part.
IRONSCALES excels at analyzing the intention, not just the content itself, but the sender's attempt to gain user attention.
I believe this is very effective and is the most effective engine of OPSWAT because customers ask for OPSWAT for two main reasons: the CDR capabilities and the multi-scanning engines.
MetaDefender's core philosophy of trusting no file means it scans files, rebuilds them, and verifies their reputation, ensuring they contain no malicious content.
The integration of multi-scanning and Content Disarm and Reconstruction is truly helpful because we can utilize it in other products such as email integration with ICAP capability, and we are also using it in web scanning.
