"A Solid VirusTotal Alternative"

The pricing is competitive, and it's easy to use and integrate. However, its coverage, number of malware detection engines, and features are quite limited. We utilize it internally to enrich external domains and IPs for threat intelligence purposes.

System Administrator

"Top-notch File Scanning Module"

The API is straightforward and offers many options for developers. However, the support system could improve, as responses often experience delays. We use it for file uploads to our applications.

Data Manager

"MetaDefender: A Dependable Cybersecurity Solution with Incredible Features"

I appreciate MetaDefender's reliable features and capabilities. It accurately protects our systems against malware. It's affordable, and there's nothing unhelpful about it. It has been the best and an impressive antivirus for our company. It's simply the best.

Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

"Sturdy and Trustworthy Anti-Malware Platform"

Once installed and configured, the platform operates quietly in the background, processing content without any issues. It easily handles the content volume we send its way, and all actions are straightforward to understand and follow. Integrating scanning into our platform via the API was seamless. When needed, customer support has responded quickly and resolved configuration issues without delay. Currently, there's a mismatch in mime type scanning for CSS files, but the product team is addressing it. Otherwise, there's little to criticize about MetaDefender. It enables real-time scanning of third-party-provided content.

Chief Finacial Officer

"MetaDefender's Dependability Simplifies Our Work and It's User-Friendly"

MetaDefender's features make it a brilliant and outstanding cybersecurity solution. I appreciate how reliable and simple it is to manage. It has been cost-effective, with effective and flawless features. It works well for blocking malware and has served as an effective antivirus for us. It's incredibly effective and affordable.

Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

"MetaDefender - Flawless Operation and Truly Valuable"

For over five years, MetaDefender has been crucial in safeguarding our servers and stored files. It examines every file uploaded via our SaaS platform, blocking viruses, malware, and other harmful elements. Reporting capabilities are excellent, and customer support is outstanding. My only complaint is the persistent sales pressure to commit to multi-year agreements. It provides preventive security for uploads to our servers through our web app, screening files before they reach our storage.

Digital Marketer

"All-Inclusive and Intelligent Security Solution"

MetaDefender is widely accessible, with functions that are simple to learn. The degree of security and compatibility with other safety programs is outstanding. It has implemented broad deployment approaches, resolving all security issues without problems. The tool accurately conducts vulnerability assessments for businesses. Its threat intelligence yields meaningful outcomes and effectively reduces data loss risks.

Software Developer

"Effortless Software for File Safety and Defense Against Malware and Data Breaches"

This software is excellent because it enables full-computer scans, effectively removing threats. Users receive comprehensive guidance on resolving any issues encountered while using the computer. The platform also boasts a wonderful support team that consistently prioritizes customer assistance, resulting in high satisfaction levels. It's truly a revolutionary tool in every aspect – exceeding my expectations with its affordable pricing, user-friendly interface, and simplicity. I'd recommend it to anyone. The solution ensures a clean computer free from harmful files and proves essential for many users by allowing document uploads with online scanning prior to system storage. It helps companies protect sensitive data and erase dangerous files that could otherwise damage the system.

Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

"User-Friendly and Dependable, Though Still Discovering Features"

It is straightforward to operate, and I'm quite confident in its performance. The interface's design and aesthetics appeal to me. So far, nothing negative. It simply offers a gentle, unobtrusive way to stay informed about its operations. It handles my antivirus requirements nicely and functions smoothly.

Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

"MetaDefender Safeguards Our Online Presence"

Setting it up was straightforward, but the most recent update caused system failures. Their assistance seemed to rely on AI-generated replies for our tickets, overlooking the custom code we've relied on for an extended period. When clients raise issues, it's important to assign a human expert to examine the situation rather than delivering automated, pre-written messages. We permit our clients to submit various file types, so we required a solution that could perform pre-upload scanning before the data was stored on our infrastructure.
