Best Encryption Tool for Gmail
We turned to Virtru because we needed to send sensitive information via email. It had to be done in a way that was easy for both the sender and recipient and ideally within the confines of our corporate Gmail setup. The initial rollout was just for a couple of departments, and then it expanded to all departments needing the capability.
- Encrypting email.
- Sending files.
- Logging.
- Cost.
- Re-authenticating periodically.
- Ease of use.
- Encryption.
- Logging.
- Data is secured.
- Audit trail.
- Data can be safely be transferred electronically.
Full Gmail integration was not a negotiable item for us in our evaluation. Other products provided our needed functionality, but they were outside the standard Gmail interface. That made them more difficult to use, and also less likely to be used. Virtru was the only one we evaluated that actually resided within the Gmail interface, making it very easy to use.

Virtru solution helps us to gain DLP capabilities in a simple and easy way.
