    "reviewBody" : "I have been using this for Feedback. What do you like best? The fact that it provides a security check before you send each email. It comes in handy and helps avoid sending an email that should be encrypted, which is not. It is also helpful to have the `buzz words` flag and ask you to check if it should be encrypted or not - you can never be too sure. What do you dislike? Sometimes the speed of sending emails is a bit slow. It would be good if it kept an email open for a few extra seconds - sometimes you would click off the email by accident then have to wait again for it to open while Virtru does its thing. Also, writing the word `password` in an email is sometimes annoying as the doublecheck will `flag` so you think you have sent an email when you have not. Another downside is accessing emails on your mobile is occasionally quite tricky. Sometimes I can get into an email that is encrypted without a problem, and sometimes I can not. Perhaps that is a hardware issue and not a software one. Recommendations to others considering the product: I would recommend this due to the security you have and cofidence when sending files and using emails specifically. Occasionally forwarding an email will be a hinderane and quite often you have to de-select the encryption before sending. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? It is much easier to send files over Virtru instead of having to set-up an SFTP or some other secure file transfer protocol. This is especially good when coming into contact with new customers as it is always a bit of a lengthy process setting up SFTPs.",
