## Reviews

### "Convenient" — 5.0/5

> **Hannah** | *December 4, 2020* | Mental Health Care | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I appreciate that Virtru can be integrated into my Outlook and can autodecrypt without requiting a password on a separate window each time. Saves lots of time and frustration\!
> 
> **Cons**: I wish I could view previous emails in the thread more easily. When an email I am responding to is long or has several parts, I often have to paste it into my response so I can remember what I'm responding to.
