Re: Using Encrypted Email with Google

I've used Mailvelope for teaching and it is a good product. Free and very
easy to use. Virtu is a good product that we tested out as well, but
couldn't get funding. S/MIME is available for G-suite schools and that is
what we will probably implement here.

I recall Virtru is a one-time $2,000 fee then $48/year/user.

We've been using Virtru for ~2 years.  Initially, some users were
irritated that it didn't work in Firefox and required Google Chrome...but
they got over it.



I don't have any complaints about Virtru, but admittedly haven't look at
any competing products lately.

Good Morning,

     We are noticing an increased demand for encrypted email solutions to
allow campus departments to send/receive encrypted email internally and
with outside entities.  We are currently looking at:

Has anyone else used the above have another solution they prefer?  Any
general advice or cautions about going down this road?



Thanks.
