"The sanitization is very good."
"The most valuable feature of MetaDefender Email Security is the CDR.

Therefore, data communication serves as the foundation for the platform."

"The company should focus on adding threats that the solution is currently unable to detect."
"There's room for improvement regarding the time frame for retrieving emails."
"There is room for improvement with the UI."
"The only thing they should improve is the licensing model. They should stop changing it. A year ago, the five features I mentioned were included in one product. Now, three of them are bundled into one product, and you have to pay extra for the other two. I don't mind paying extra, but I don't want them to change it every year or every six months. I need to know what I'm looking at and not worry about it next year."
"There is room for improvement in terms of reporting."
"Configuration requires going to a lot of places rather than just accessing one tab."
"Several simulation options are available within 365, and the phishing simulation could be better."
"The pre-sales cost calculations could be more transparent."
"Recognizing spammers and spam email sourcing is extremely lagging these days, and the performance could be improved to provide better efficiency."
"The technical team could improve services by ensuring when there are changes they inform enterprise users of effective upgrades."
"It would be useful to have more logs and in aggregate mode, perhaps through a specific report, that can be more easily used for troubleshooting."
"The UX/UI could be more friendly."
"The pattern used to filter emails could be improved"
"The support language is only English."
"If you face any configuration problems, Check Point is the only solution."

"Although the number of AV engines is good, it could be better."
"They offer a feature called SmartLink neutralization. I have tried it before. It seemed to work most of the time; however, I had a few users for whom it just wouldn't work. Whenever they click on a link, it stays on the MetaDefender page, saying that it's scanning it and never moves forward."
"The DLP should be upgraded and has room for improvement."
