"The solution is quite intuitive and easy to use.""Adaptable solution with a good interface. It's easy to set up and easy to use.""Quarantine email alerts to users to allow the email to their inbox (tricky but handy) - tricky if one doesn't have third-party email security, handy if one has got good third party email security).""The integration with other applications is pretty good.""The functionality that is most valuable is the solution's ability to detect patient data in email attachments. Whenever a user sends out an email with patient data embedded in an attachment, it triggers an alert. The tool can detect a social security number and various other forms of patient identity. Emails are then automatically generated and sent.""Cloud-based management is valuable and software deployment is positive.""The most valuable features of Office 365 are Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and Teams. Teams helped us to collaborate more through its call and document sharing features.""The most valuable feature of this solution is the integration."
