| Privacy | No known public vulnerabilities found in the sources reviewed.¹ | No known public vulnerabilities found in the sources reviewed.³ |
| Support quality | No support evidence in sources reviewed | Q&A thread shows deleted answers, blocked access. |
| Public sentiment | No independent user reviews were found in the sources reviewed. | Public user feedback is nearly absent; the only thread found is a blocked-page complaint, not product reviews.² |
| Biggest gotcha | Guess: Enterprise Key Management is likely a paid add-on . confirm before budgeting.¹ | Guess: deep Entra/Intune integration means painful migration if you ever leave Microsoft.³ |
