    The Datamotion Secure Mail plug-in can be installed and used in Outlook while sending mail. In the search category, if you keep SecureMail 500 Admin and hit go, you can see how many admins there are. You can also see how many users there are and the license consumption.

    Pros
    DataMotion, Inc.
    • Platform is intuitive and very easy to use from both a receiver and sender of the email.
    • The "open" and/or "read" notifications serve as great documentation that a client has successfully seen and obtained the information that was being provided.
    • The ability to include a simple link within an email signature prevents clients from having to go through a cumbersome portal or process to send a document securely.

    We have more testing to do before we decide if we will make a final decision to use the product as we believe we would also implement datamotion for the acquisitions we have planned for this year

    Usability
    DataMotion, Inc.
    The DataMotion SecureMail's best feature according to me is simply that it performs as promised with an immediate reduction in spam which has led to spam-related queries to the IT department practically non-existent. DataMotion SecureMail is pretty robust and hands off which is great.

    Responses always seem timely and the support seems to be pretty good. We haven't really had any major issues with the software yet, so I that's the reason I gave only an 8. If something more difficult were to pop up, I'd have a little more to say on the support for the product.
