    OPSWAT MetaDefender is a great product to use!!!! The MetaDefender platform is great to use in terms of the multiple features it provides such as: file scanning from multiple engines,deep CDR, sandboxing and plenty more. The MetaDefender also incorporates heuristic analysis, behavioral analysis and machine learning to identify unkown threats and zero-day attacks. Overall I highly recommend using the MetaDefender.
