Senior Information Systems Engineer at Liberty Pumps, Inc. | 4.0 | We use MetaDefender Email Security Solutions to scan and sanitize incoming emails, providing an additional layer of security for malicious attachments. It efficiently reduces IT workload but has some limitations, like SmartLink neutralization issues and non-intuitive exception setups. |
Mr at a financial services firm with 501-1,000 employees | 4.5 | We use MetaDefender Email Security Solutions, including Email Gateway and MetaDefender Vault, to protect our email environment from threats. The most valuable feature is summary reconstruction for encrypted files. Improvements could include more antivirus engines. Overall, it provides a good return on investment. |
Co Founder / CEO at a tech company with 11-50 employees | 4.0 | I reviewed MetaDefender Email Security, highlighting its strength in data communication and versatile use cases like file scanning. However, its pricing and management center need improvement, and multiscan capabilities are basic. Customer renewals suggest a positive return on investment. |
