At times, the system flags legitimate emails as suspicious, which requires manual release of the email. This requires a user to login, search for the email and release, then follow up with user to confirm the email is accessible in their inbox. At times, feedback from the customer service team can take the entire SLA time for a response to be received. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That's incredible—no incidents whatsoever. It simply works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
