You need to do some sizing before installation and understand exactly what you are seeking from the solution and how it fits your organization.
Infrastructure Securiy & Cyber Engineer at El Al
We can increase the central management server by adding more CPU, RAM, and disks, and we can add more clients to the scan and create a policy for them.

Room For Improvement

Users seek improvements in data management, real-time updates, UI, training, dark web sources, and reduced false positives on Cybersixgill.
MetaDefender needs UI updates, faster processing, improved integration, and cost efficiency for better user experience and management.
During the onboarding, that is the most crucial part to make sure that the organizations who purchase Cybersixgill ensure that they actually have the right person or persons to go through the onboarding.
Global Director at a computer software company with 51-200 employees
I hope that in the future, Cybersixgill can separate the leaked credentials by email and domain.
Soc Analyst
I want to see enhancements allowing for automatic ticket creation using APIs to streamline the workflow and assign tickets to respective teams.
Packaged Application Development Team Lead at Accenture
My thoughts on its accuracy and reliability of output are that it relies on signature-based antivirus scan, which is not sufficient for AI-kind vulnerabilities or hacking.
Information Security Consultant at a tech vendor with 51-200 employees
The security information is useful, but making key metrics, detection trends, false positives, and remediation actions easier to understand would help a SOC team quickly identify areas requiring attention.
SOC L2 Analyst at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
 

Setup Cost

Cybersixgill offers competitive pricing, balancing affordability with market standards, though cost adjustments and currency exchange can affect value perception.
MetaDefender offers premium-priced, enterprise-grade features with customizable quotes; considered costly by startups but effective and flexible for enterprises.
Based on the needs of the customer, there was always a negotiation that could be done to get a slightly lower price.
Global Director at a computer software company with 51-200 employees
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.
Cyber Security Architect at Diffiesec
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.
Senior Infra Architect at a educational organization with 11-50 employees
Regarding pricing, setup cost, and licensing, I find the pricing for kiosks, cloud, deep CDR, and adaptive sandbox appropriate.
Partner Account Manager at a wholesaler/distributor with 51-200 employees
 

Valuable Features

Cybersixgill offers user-friendly threat intelligence features, tracking, and analysis from deep and dark web, enhancing security monitoring.
MetaDefender enhances security with multi-scanning, Deep CDR, and adaptive sandbox, ensuring threat elimination and content usability.
The best feature that Cybersixgill offers with respect to dark web intelligence is that they provide very good screenshots of where the particular data has been taken, which allows for better visualization and understanding of the scenario, with the source being indicated through onion links that can be reverse-engineered for further investigation.
Associate at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
What specifically stands out to me about the cyber threat intelligence feature is the speed and the depth from the data lake.
Global Director at a computer software company with 51-200 employees
I appreciate that I can search in the dashboard for credentials by entering the domain directly rather than navigating through other sections, making it very easy to check the dashboard.
Soc Analyst
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.
Cyber Security Architect at Diffiesec
MetaDefender's core philosophy of trusting no file means it scans files, rebuilds them, and verifies their reputation, ensuring they contain no malicious content.
Partner Account Manager at a wholesaler/distributor with 51-200 employees
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.

Global Director at a computer software company with 51-200 employees
Proactive dark web intelligence has reduced breach impact and protects organizations quietly
Cybersixgill has one of the largest data lakes around. I think the way they can be improved is to be able to initially during the onboarding, make sure that the false positives are correctly addressed to really do the tweaks that need to be done to filter through exactly what the organization is trying to accomplish and give them the outcomes they are looking for without all the extra noise or chatter. I just think during the onboarding, that is the most crucial part to make sure that the organizations who purchase Cybersixgill ensure that they actually have the right person or persons to go through the onboarding to make sure that the data lake feeds can be properly set up and organized so it can filter through the noise and the chatter.
Ravi Raushan Singh - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Infra Architect at a educational organization with 11-50 employees
File protection has improved and now keeps millions of daily transfers secure and compliant
In my organization, while using this tool, we found that there were a few files flagged as suspicious; however, those were not suspicious and it was a false positive, so that can be improved. False positive results were an issue, and it took time to scan files if the file size was greater than 1 GB. For larger files greater than 1 GB, it needs to be improved. In some cases, the reconstruction of the file led to a failure of code deployment and it flagged a valid file as malicious, which was not effective; however, in other types of files, it was very effective and could scan files properly. We have already covered all the main suggestions; however, it can be improved to reduce false positive results, and scanning could be faster to process more files in a day.
