For the most part this is effective tool, it is easy to use for the user. I like the feature that if you accidentally send it to the wrong email that you can retract the email without worry about HIPAA violation. > > **Cons**: Some of the providers that we send our enrypted emails to have trouble opening them epscially if they are using IPAD for email so I wish this could be resolved. > > Overall the experience has been good using Virtru in our office. ----- ### "Works Well on My End" — 4.0/5 > **Joshua** | *3 December 2020* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that's it's easy to use by flipping a toggle switch and that if I try to send without I get a reminder. > > **Cons**: I am still warned about sending without encrytion when I email staff in the same domain as me \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] > > I work mostly with attorney offices and am required to send them medical records and bills. ----- ### "EASY solution for HIPAA-compliant emails" — 5.0/5 > **Lance** | *21 November 2020* | Mental Health Care | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: We use VIRTRU with OUTLOOK Desktop; with one click of a button (or none, using the default setting) ALL emails are encrypted AUTOMATICALLY and received, decrypted AUTOMATICALLY. No extra steps - very time-saving\!\! > > **Cons**: VIRTRU will, at times, save the email you though you sent to the DRAFTS folder without alerting you that it has done so. We chose to accept that anomaly and simply work around it; we moved out DRAFTS folder so that is visually right above our INBOX. That way, you never miss that that anomaly happened. > > Product is GREAT for ease of use. Customer support is some of the most prompt, knowledgeable, courteous, and helpful I've ever encountered. That makes up for the rare times when VIRTRU gets cranky, LOL\! ----- ### "Email File securely with Virtru" — 5.0/5 > **Taraiya** | *24 May 2022* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use, the ability to send communication within file exchange is nice. > > **Cons**: The software is fine, I'm not sure if it is the software itself or network issue but sometimes depending on the file size, the decryption process make take a little longer than others. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/195841/virtru?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/195841/virtru) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
