Pavan Ingaleshwar - PeerSpot reviewer
Soc Analyst at ISECURION
Multi-engine analysis has strengthened file security and now stops hidden threats in attachments
I think scanning time can sometimes be a bit slow for larger files, and the user interface could be improved. The licensing cost is somewhat high for smaller organizations like ours, so these are my personal suggestions for improvement. They should consider integrating live threat intelligence data so that if any attachment is detected in a security environment somewhere in the world, it could show where else this file has been delivered. I would rate MetaDefender an eight out of ten, primarily because it experiences slight delays in scanning larger files, and both the user interface and pricing could be optimized.
