Consistent Background Scanning with Easy to Understand Results
What do you like best about the product?
File scanning runs consistently in the background and we have not seen noticeable slowdowns in applications or file services. The scan results are easy for non security teams to understand, which helps reduce escalations to IT. Integration was also straightforward, allowing us to add file inspection into existing systems without introducing new tools for staff to manage.
What do you dislike about the product?
The main effort is during rollout. Policies need careful adjustment so business files are not blocked unnecessarily. Once tuned, ongoing maintenance is minimal.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It reduces operational risk caused by infected or suspicious files entering the environment. This leads to fewer disruptions, fewer support tickets, and a more stable IT environment overall.
Fast, Clear Scanning with File Sanitization That Keeps Workflows Moving
What do you like best about the product?
MetaDefender protects against file based threats without forcing changes to existing security architecture. Scanning is fast and consistent, and the results are clear enough to automate actions. The option to sanitize files instead of blocking them helps maintain normal business workflows.
What do you dislike about the product?
Policy tuning requires attention, especially when dealing with archives or mixed file types. Early testing is important to prevent overly strict rules from interrupting normal traffic.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It reduces exposure to file based threats coming from external users, vendors, and integrations. This lowers incident frequency, improves confidence in inbound content, and strengthens overall security posture without adding operational friction.
MetaDefender Simplifies Consistent, Scalable File Scanning Across Platforms
What do you like best about the product?
MetaDefender makes it easier to enforce consistent file scanning across shared platforms. It scales well as usage grows and avoids each application having to build its own file security logic. Policies are flexible enough to support different risk levels while keeping a common security baseline.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some upfront planning and tuning are needed to align policies with multiple application teams.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It centralizes file security at the platform layer. This reduces exposure from third party content and helps maintain consistent protection as new services are added.
Effortless, Reliable File Scanning for Hassle Free Administration
What do you like best about the product?
It scans files reliably without putting noticeable strain on servers or interrupting user access. Monitoring is straightforward, and day to day operation does not require constant attention, which is important from a systems administration point of view.
What do you dislike about the product?
Initial setup and policy tuning take time, especially when defining how strict scanning should be for different file types.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It prevents malicious files from entering servers and shared locations. This reduces remediation work and helps keep systems running smoothly with fewer incidents.
Seamless Integration and Robust Protection for Real World Pipelines
What do you like best about the product?
MetaDefender fits well into real application pipelines and does not require heavy redesign. File scanning is fast and reliable, even under load, and the API is easy to automate. The combination of multi-engine detection and file sanitization gives strong protection without forcing users to change how they work. Logs and results are clear enough to connect with SIEM and monitoring tools.
What do you dislike about the product?
Policy tuning takes some effort at the start, especially for archives and uncommon file types. Careful testing is needed to avoid blocking safe files.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It protects file upload and sharing points from hidden threats. This lowers incident risk and reduces manual security reviews while keeping systems available and responsive.
Effortless File Scanning and Seamless API Integration
What do you like best about the product?
MetaDefender does a solid job of inspecting incoming files without slowing down users or applications. It handles high file volumes well and the results are easy to understand, which helps when explaining decisions to non security teams.
What do you dislike about the product?
Initial policy tuning can take time, especially for uncommon file types or strict security rules. Some fine adjustments are needed early on to avoid unnecessary blocks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It reduces the risk of malware and hidden threats from third party files. This improves overall security posture while allowing business teams to keep working without manual security checks.

It addressing my antivirus needs nicely. it functions nicely
Comprehensive endpoint visibility and multilayer security have strengthened compliance and protected removable media in critical environments
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
Multi-layered security is important for my company. It gives you an advantage that your data and your system are going to be scanned with multiple anti-malware engines. Starting from the endpoint security, your endpoint is going to get secured, and if it connects to your enterprise network, you will have complete visibility. You need continued visibility of your endpoints, whether those are clean, whether their applications are patched, or whether there is no vulnerability.
When it comes to the metrics that reflect my impact on the endpoint security strategy, first of all, it is visibility of your endpoint. For complete endpoint protection, visibility is crucial. It will also allow you to control the applications, what to run and what not to run; that is significant for managing the endpoint's attack surface. You can easily catch the threats and control the foreign device connections such as removable media and USB, CD, DVD, and all those things as well. Altogether, it is going to be complete endpoint protection and visibility.
What is most valuable?
I work with the data sanitization feature, including USB.
When it comes to data integrity, it is not meant for data integrity; it will modify your data. It will not look into your content, but it will look into embedded objects, such as hyperlinks, scripts, and any other embedded object, macro, and images. It will remove that potential malicious content, sanitize the hyperlink, remove the macro, sanitize the embedded objects, and remove the scripts if they are attached in your document to prevent you from zero-day attacks.
MetaDefender Endpoint has an excellent malware detection feature; it has around thirty plus different anti-malware engines, so the detection ratio can go up to ninety-nine point nine percent.
The vulnerability assessment feature definitely helps to address system vulnerabilities. You will have visibility of the vulnerability, and it is a continuous assessment. You will get complete visibility of your environment and of your endpoint.
What needs improvement?
The negative aspect is that it only provides visibility; you require integration with multiple products to get complete control. If it provided certain built-in features, you could more easily control the endpoints. Another point is that multi-scanning and sanitization work over the network; even though no one is providing this feature, it can be difficult for organizations, especially those with a multi-branch and multi-layer enterprise network. For small scale enterprises, it is going to be a very good use case.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the product for around four years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
MetaDefender Endpoint is extremely stable.
The availability is good; it is pretty simple and pretty stable. There are no major issues, just here and there some operational challenges, but otherwise, the product stability is good.
How are customer service and support?
The technical support from the vendor is good.
How would you rate customer service and support?
How was the initial setup?
