KEEP CHILDREN SAFE WITH VIRTRU **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** David H. | Special Education Teacher, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 16, 2026 **What do you like best about Virtru Secure Share?** As a special education teacher, it is imperative that my emails be secure and free from scams and hackers. Student information is processed on a minute-by-minute basis, exposing our students to cyberharm and their personal information. Having Virtru's security relieves some of the stress that comes with confidential work. Other features that set Virtru above competitors include its easy-to-use drag-and-drop interface. I have not used the AI yet, but as I become more familiar with it, I'm sure it will be an asset as well. Other colleagues have used the AI and responded to its intelligent nature. The performance is amazing, and with reasonably affordable pricing, it integrates well into our system of operation. The onboarding and support for this intelligently designed product have been above and beyond on my Richter scale. **What do you dislike about Virtru Secure Share?** Nothing at all. Haven't had one feature or operation yet that has disgruntled me. **What problems is Virtru Secure Share solving and how is that benefiting you?** Prior to using Virtru, my emails were not encrypted or secure, putting my students at risk. Now, I can be free of worry and assure my parents that their children are receiving excellent care. ### 2.

I’m confident the transmission method would be very difficult to intercept, compromise, or tamper with, and that’s crucial in these uncertain times. **What do you dislike about Virtru Secure Share?** I honestly don’t think there’s any single factor I can point to that would make me say I “dislike” anything. **What problems is Virtru Secure Share solving and how is that benefiting you?** After being a victim of cybercrime and facing multiple hacking attempts, I believe that addressing data integrity and fidelity is crucial for doing business—especially in my line of work, cybersecurity. ### 3. Effortless Secure Sharing, Needs Better Integration **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Medical Practice | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 06, 2025 **What do you like best about Virtru Secure Share?** I like how easy Virtru Secure Share is to use, and it resolves the problem of safely sharing confidential info via email, making it easy for me. It seems to work pretty fast and makes it easy for the receiver to open the documents. The initial setup was pretty easy as well, and it's nice that I can log in with my Gmail account. **What do you dislike about Virtru Secure Share?** I don't like that it requires going to the portal to send attachments or folder locations, instead of having it integrated with email for easier sharing. **What problems is Virtru Secure Share solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use Virtru Secure Share to share sensitive attachments safely with another group. It resolves the problem of safely sharing confidential info via email and makes it easy. ### 4. Confusing and Frustrating **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Rafael S. | Developer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 29, 2025 **What do you like best about Virtru Secure Share?** Virtru seems to be well-known and trusted as a secure sharing solution in my field (medical billing). From time to time, I receive e-mails secured by Virtru from clients and other colleagues, so I trust it when I need to share something securely. **What do you dislike about Virtru Secure Share?** Long story short: the two times I needed Virtru, I was not able to use it and asked a colleague to do it for me as if I was incompetent. Virtru usability is confusing to me and not at all new user friendly. When I go to Virtru, I want to share something. But as soon as I log in, I'm facing "My Data", "Settings", "User", "Admin" screens, none of them help me do what I need to: share things. I have to remember to go to the bottom of the screen looking for "Products > Share", even after the LOG OUT feature (whaat?). Once I hit the "Secure Share", I'm asked AGAIN to sign in. After making my way to secure share, it's time to share. My first experience: Could not share. Why? As a new user, sending sensitive data, I wanted to make sure how my e-mail would be received by the user, and if I was doing it the right way. So I sent it to myself to check, and everything was working. Then I created the same thing again, this time adding all recipients, but I could not share it because I hit my limit for the day (one email). Result: I asked a colleague to do it for me, as I was incapable of doing it. Virtru did a terrible job informing me beforehand of this, and even worse when trying to submit, because it says: YOUR CONTENT WAS SUCCESSFULLY SENT, even when not delivering the messages. The other case I have is: Knowing I have just one e-mail to use, I just wrote it and add the 4 subjects right away. When trying to send, Virtru said: limit of subjects above limit. Then I tried again with 3, with 2 and could not send. When I reached 1, Virtru said: you have reached the limit of messages today. WHAT? SERIOUSLY? **What problems is Virtru Secure Share solving and how is that benefiting you?** Sharing HIPAA compliant messages **Official Response from Christa Wong:** > Hello, Thank you for taking time to leave us a review.

Effortless Secure File Sharing, Top Marks **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Patrick G. **Reviewed Date:** February 05, 2026 **What do you like best about Virtru Secure Share?** I like that it's pretty streamlined to send the file quickly, especially with the Chrome extension for Gmail. That's especially a nice touch. The integration with Gmail makes it so simple to compose a new message in a way that I'm already familiar with and can easily do quickly. And then just with a simple checkbox, I can make it an encrypted message using Virtru. For me, it's really quick. I just had to sign in using our Google SAML integration, and then I was ready to start sharing files immediately. **What do you dislike about Virtru Secure Share?** Nothing comes to mind at all **What problems is Virtru Secure Share solving and how is that benefiting you?** Virtru Secure Share lets me share sensitive files securely without worrying about interception. It's pretty streamlined, especially with the Gmail Chrome extension, making encryption as easy as clicking a checkbox. ### 6. Secure Emailing Made Simple, but Login Can Be Tedious **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Natalie M. **Reviewed Date:** February 05, 2026 **What do you like best about Virtru Secure Share?** I like that I can send messages with Virtru Secure Share and they are locked for student info, which makes it secure when handling student-specific data. Additionally, it makes it nice that all these messages appear in one email thread, keeping communications organized and easy to follow. **What do you dislike about Virtru Secure Share?** I don't like having to log into the platform to read every email, it is annoying. I'd like it if somehow personal laptops could automatically log in, so when I click unlock email it just appears rather than having to type in my email and password. **What problems is Virtru Secure Share solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use Virtru Secure Share for work emails, sending protected emails for student-specific data and information. I like that messages are locked for student info, and it's nice they all appear in one thread. ### 7.

It's great for sharing large files that I wouldn't be able to send normally through email. The interface is clean and intuitive, making it easy to understand even for first-time users. The initial setup was a breeze, taking just a couple of minutes, which was super convenient. **What do you dislike about Virtru Secure Share?** Sometimes getting through Virtru Secure Share to send files doesn't work and then works again.

It solves the problem of sharing files that are too big for email and offers a clean, user-friendly interface. ### 8. Effortless File Security with Seamless Gmail Integration **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Gavin C. **Reviewed Date:** December 01, 2025 **What do you like best about Virtru Secure Share?** I use Virtru Secure Share primarily to send secured files, including large attachments, to individuals outside my organization, which is crucial for maintaining privacy and efficiency. I really appreciate the product's integration with Gmail, as it simplifies the workflow significantly—it's much easier than needing to access a separate site to send files. This integration becomes invaluable when I'm unable to upload large attachments through email directly, allowing me to easily click, upload, and share without hassle. Additionally, the ease of use stands out; the website has consistently performed well for me, ensuring a smooth experience. The initial setup was very straightforward and streamlined, which made it simple to integrate into my workflow without any difficulties. **What do you dislike about Virtru Secure Share?** I had an instance where users couldn't open the link, which was frustrating. **What problems is Virtru Secure Share solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use Virtru Secure Share to share large, encrypted files easily through Gmail, simplifying the process without needing a separate website. ### 9. Secure Share Is Invaluable, but Unread Alerts and Duplicate Messages Hurt UX **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospital & Health Care | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 10, 2026 **What do you like best about Virtru Secure Share?** I really like the feature that lets you add the Secure Share outbox to your email signature. It’s been an invaluable tool for us when collecting patient medical records and other sensitive data. **What do you dislike about Virtru Secure Share?** From a provider standpoint, I dislike the UI/UX aspects of Secure Share. Unfortunately, it’s difficult to tell when I have unread messages, and messages also occasionally duplicate themselves. That duplication forces our staff to spend extra time double-checking everything. **What problems is Virtru Secure Share solving and how is that benefiting you?** Secure Share helps us maintain patient safety and privacy while staying compliant with HIPAA laws. This has been a major benefit for our clinic as we receive correspondence electronically and continue migrating older processes toward more sustainable cloud-based solutions. ### 10. Effortless Security and Control with Intuitive UI **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Sean Y. | Procurement and Project Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 05, 2026 **What do you like best about Virtru Secure Share?** I appreciate Virtru Secure Share for its security and traceability, allowing me to control who has access, who can download, revoke access, and see when and how things were accessed. I like the ease of use and find the very easy UI and process particularly beneficial. The initial setup was easy as well. **What do you dislike about Virtru Secure Share?** I don't like the inability to blind copy people when sending files. We send to large groups of people and don't need them to see that others are accessing the files. **What problems is Virtru Secure Share solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use Virtru Secure Share for securely sending CUI data to suppliers, ensuring security and traceability by controlling access, download permissions, revoking access, and tracking file access. - [View Virtru Secure Share pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/virtru-secure-share/reviews/virtru-secure-share-review-11125768?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-29+17%3A45%3A52+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=6be19d22-03f3-4823-86be-c905191ff800&secure%5Btoken%5D=7a4e47ba557062595904359d863855184065bc3cde9ec621604d92baffc12e12&format=llm_user) ## Virtru Secure Share Integrations - [Confluence](https://www.g2.com/products/confluence/reviews) - [Google for Education](https://www.g2.com/products/google-for-education/reviews) - [Google Workspace](https://www.g2.com/products/google-workspace/reviews) - [Microsoft OneDrive for Business](https://www.g2.com/products/microsoft-onedrive-for-business/reviews) - [Microsoft Outlook](https://www.g2.com/products/microsoft-outlook/reviews) - [Microsoft SharePoint](https://www.g2.com/products/microsoft-sharepoint/reviews) - [Zendesk for Employee Service](https://www.g2.com/products/zendesk-for-employee-service/reviews) ## Virtru Secure Share Features **Platform** - User Authorization - HIPAA Compliant Messaging - Compliant Emailing - HIPAA Compliant Messaging - Clinical Communication - HIPAA Compliance - HIPAA Compliance - HIPAA Compliant Messaging - Operating Systems - HIPAA Compliant Messaging - Message Lifespan - HIPAA Compliant Messaging - Workflow Enhancement - HIPAA Compliant Messaging **Data Protection** - Data Masking - Data Encryption/Security - Data loss Prevention - Anomoly Detection - Sensitive Data Compliance **Data Protection** - Sensitive Data Discovery - Structured and Unstructured Data - Encryption - Persistent Protection - Data Governance and Access Management - Audit and Reporting **Security** - Encrypted Storage - Anomoly Detection - Data loss Prevention - Policy Enforcement **Cloud Visibility** - Data Discovery - Cloud Registry - Cloud Gap Analytics **Encryption** - Email Encryption - Messaging Encryption - File Transfer Encryption - Data Encryption - Document Encryption **Compliance** - Access Management - DLP Configuration - Sensitive Data Compliance **Analysis** - Cloud Gap Analytics - Compliance Monitoring - User Analytics **Compliance** - DLP Configuration **Administration** - Reporting and Monitoring - Breadth of Partner Applications - Auditing **Access Control** - User, Role, and Access Management - Access Rights - User Analytics - Compliance Monitoring **Security** - Data Security - Data loss Prevention - Security Auditing **Compliance** - Authentication - Access Management **Administration** - Database Management - Backup - API / integrations **Administration** - Auditing - Data Discovery - Access Control **Usability** - Cross-Platforms **Identity** - SSO - Governance - User Analytics **Management** - Backup - Recovery - File Management **Security ** - Multi-Factor Authentication - Data Transport - Data Types - Security Tools ## Top Virtru Secure Share Alternatives - [Progress MOVEit](https://www.g2.com/products/progress-moveit/reviews) - 4.4/5.0 (517 reviews) - [Cisco Duo](https://www.g2.com/products/cisco-duo/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (497 reviews) - [Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration](https://www.g2.com/products/check-point-harmony-email-collaboration/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (464 reviews)
