"Security at its finest"
What do you like best about iboss?

It's cost-effective and notifies me of any breaches that I come across. Updates on its own, so I do not have to do that manually. Everything is automatic, leaving me very little to do on my end. Love it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far, it has been one of the best products I've used for cyber security. Gives me peace of mind, especially knowing how many hackers are out there. Recommend this to other companies I collaborate with as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"iBoss is simply masterful and consistent as a Team and a Solution!"
What do you like best about iboss?

I appreciate the Dashboard because it teaches you while you interact with it. Most things are clearly laid out in a practical way. The Technical Team is especially helpful. Every agent has been prompt and the Engineers have addressed all of our issues swiftly and accurately. I deal with Microsoft Office 365 support and by comparison, I would rank iBoss' Engineering support and objectives in the same positive way. The Solution as a whole is an eyeopener and has definitely shaped the way we view security and planning ahead. The knowledge that is shared so clearly and with simplicity has really helped our team to focus directly on the "needs and wants" versus the nuts and bolts of Code. Yes there is a vitue to working with code and understanding it, but iBoss has closed the gap for us and definitely have presented a Trusted Source for our use without the fear of being taken advantage of as a lesser one in the relationship. I feel empowered each time i interact with iBoss agents and engineers. This would be equivalent to a true replication of qualities and discipline which I am able to inherit or absorb by proportion into my own capacity at any time of growth. As a result of that - the effectiveness of the Platform itself is extended into my jurisdiction as well. Thank you for that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iboss?

The Granular rules are a bit of a challenge ad this time and are untouched at this stage of our implementation. In the future, there should be an account holder Video Tutorial to perhaps allow us to review those advanced features at our pace and then after we complete that, we would graduate to an engineer assisted support session. If there could be a deeper level consultation after a certain phase of the deployment and production, we would be able to refine even more. As reminded in a previous consultation, iBoss is the expert and is able to observe trends so easily that it could recommend various best practices reasonably fast.
