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.
A reduction in remediation time has been seen because it is finding things before they happen.
Being able to find them because there have been no eyes on that particular section so far ever, and fixing those potentially prevented those companies from getting breached.
So far, I have seen a return on investment with The NodeZero Platform by Horizon3.ai, as we managed to save a lot of time and effort with this because this is an autonomous tool, and our manual effort is significantly reduced because of a product of this type.
This can save time because many vendors, when they check something and ask for logs, need those logs from the beginning.
When it comes to my communication with agents, I find they are responsive and professional.
Their customer service team, distribution team, and regional sales managers provide excellent aftercare and set us up for upselling across the entire MetaDefender portfolio.
Overall, when it comes to The NodeZero Platform's tech support, you can reach them via a chat message on their website, and they respond almost immediately.
Previously, with time-sensitive engagements, I would worry about resolving issues before deadlines. That concern has diminished as they've become more responsive and require less escalation to engineering.
The vast majority of times they are able to resolve the exact questions my team has on the first attempt, which is really good for customer or technical support.
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.
We have conducted pen tests in environments with hundreds of thousands of IP addresses without any scalability issues.
We currently scan approximately 1,500-2,000 assets and haven't encountered any scaling or throughput issues.
The platform offers various insider threats, segmentation tests, phishing tests, and PCI DSS tests.
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.
We have not encountered any issues on the platform regarding accessibility, performance, or stability.
Regarding stability, it has never crashed, and there has not been any lagging from deployment or running.
I would rate the stability of The NodeZero Platform by Horizon3.ai as a ten.
I want to see enhancements allowing for automatic ticket creation using APIs to streamline the workflow and assign tickets to respective teams.
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.
This service reveals which credentials and email addresses are available on the deep web, as well as which domains have been set up using typo-squatting techniques.
The one thing that is very much asked from us as a service provider is DAST testing, so when a company is building a software, they could see their current security status while they are building the application.
If that pen test could be load balanced on more than one system, I believe The NodeZero Platform by Horizon3.ai could leverage that system and complete penetration tests in a much quicker time frame, providing quicker results to customers.
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.
The price varies based on deployment types; we only used it for file transfer and cloud integration rather than email, which kept it within our budget.
Regarding pricing, setup cost, and licensing, I find the pricing for kiosks, cloud, deep CDR, and adaptive sandbox appropriate.
The pricing is much more affordable than traditional penetration tests.
It's a bit cheaper than manual penetration testing because manual testing typically allows you to scan only a few subnets.
Usually, manual penetration test scans take considerable time and money.
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.
When a new vulnerability, such as a zero-day exploit, is identified, they review your previous scans to determine if you might be vulnerable to it, and they proactively notify you.
The detailed reports not only list the vulnerabilities that matter, but they also include direct links to patches.
The NodeZero Platform's real attack capabilities help in identifying vulnerabilities on our on-prem systems because it provides actual vulnerabilities by attacking our systems.

MetaDefender provides advanced multiscanning capabilities using 30+ anti-malware engines, ensuring high detection efficacy and robust prevention mechanisms.
MetaDefender's approach combines multiple security technologies like Metascan, Deep CDR, and adaptive sandboxing. These integrated solutions offer comprehensive protection against malware and vulnerabilities, catering to cloud, on-prem, and hybrid environments with enhanced performance and automation.
What are the key features of MetaDefender?
What benefits and ROI can MetaDefender offer?
MetaDefender is trusted in industries such as financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, and government, where rigorous policy control and auditability are vital. Its diverse deployment options allow for consistent security across datacenters, OT networks, and secure facilities, meeting stringent compliance needs.
NodeZero by Horizon3.ai is an offensive security platform that enables users to adopt an attacker’s perspective, reveal vulnerabilities, and verify defense effectiveness with evidence-backed insights.
NodeZero provides autonomous pentesting, showing how attackers exploit misconfigurations, credentials, and exposures into attack paths. It helps focus on real risks rather than hypothetical ones, integrating seamlessly into existing IT and security workflows to streamline processes. The platform drives risk-based vulnerability management and CTEM by validating vulnerabilities and measuring resilience.
