Like

We appreciate that Virtru is highly intuitive and user-friendly, offering a robust, treaceble documentation system that allows us to set expiration dates and manage retrieval factors with ease. From an administrative standpoint, it provides a comprehensive view of how the tool is being utilized, and its integration into our communication system was seamless from the start.

Like

What we like most about Virtru is its ease of use combined with strong data security.

Like

Key Strengths of the Product: 1. Robust functionality 2. Intuitive and user-friendly interface 3. Comprehensive security measures 4. Advanced file-sharing security features, including enhanced watermarking, persistent file protection, and customizable expiration settings.

Dislike

So far, we have not identified any weaknesses in the product. It has consistenly met our expectations and delivered on its promises

Dislike

Reporting and visibility, Administrative complexity for advanced features, Troubleshooting edge cases. Reporting capabilities are somewhat limited, While basic functionality is easy to use, some advanced configurations and policy controls are not very intuitive and require additional time to understand. External recipient access issues or integration edge cases are not always easy to diagnose.

Dislike

There are not many dislikes we have about the product. There is a difference from what we used before, having bi-directional communication between the users and the customers we send files to. However, there are more positives that outweigh that.
