vs Virtru

Virtru alternative: no Outlook add-in, no recipient account.

They want an add-in or an account. We hold the message and send a code. PHI to a county court that will never install a plugin.

Hosting contrast

Virtru’s path is an Outlook add-in or a recipient account on their vendor stack. Secure Message is MX on your host: the gateway holds the message and sends a one-time code — no add-in, no recipient account, portal on infrastructure you run.

This is an email gateway, not chat. Not Purview. Not TigerConnect. Recipients do not install a plugin or create an account.

Enterprise adds Autopilot, eDiscovery, and DLP. The inbound classifier is one Enterprise signal and stays off until you turn it on. Message content is not sent to a vendor model unless you opt into a hosted provider.

Rubix PDF Sign is free and pairs with the gateway: sign on the workstation, then send through Secure Message.
