Vitrium is totally working for us and has taken our operations up a level

The global pandemic plummeted us into the online space and we urgently needed to address distributing content. Our priority is peace of mind knowing people have got what we need them to have rather than being ferociously restrictive about every single item of content. The makeshift method we previously used gave us no way of proving what people had received, and we had very little control. Now we make our course resources accessible via the portal before, and up to 14 days after each course, so delegates can print off, download or whatever they want (or whatever we allow), then are deactivated as users from our system. This means we can recycle user 'seats' and work within the budget of our user allocations. Being based in UK, although we sell globally, a significant majority of our customers are UK NHS Trusts which have stringent security settings. Previously we had a lot of problems with NHS delegates not being able to access their materials. These problems are now resolved thankfully.

PROS

The control dashboard is simple neat and clean and very logical. We love the portal system which you can edit to showcase company branding. We have made it accessible from our website so from a customer point of view everything is integrated and seamless. Watermarking content in user-specific or general ways to suit is brilliant, and checking out that people have got what they need ok for the courses we put on is of massive importance. Probably the best over-arching things are that everything works and the customer support is brilliant.

CONS

Don't kid yourself that you'll get the hang of everything within 10 mins of messing around with the settings. You do have to put the time in to get your head round it - but that's less of a 'con' and more a reflection of the eye-watering range of configuration options there are. So you do have to invest some quality time to learn it - but everything you need is there, and it totally works.

Reason for choosing Vitrium Security

I loved the product and the UK Sales person was totally un-pushy and really really helpful. I never felt any pressure to buy at all. Which worked for me!

Vendor Response

Hi Dot, thank you so much for this great review and all your kind words! We truly appreciate your feedback and your business. We're very happy you've had a positive experience with the software, and are glad to hear Vitrium was able to support you in your transition to digital content after the pandemic and has allowed your organization to grow! We're excited to continue to support you and your business.

Easily Protected Resources

The customer service team at Vitrium always responds very quickly to our questions, and thus we can still solve our end-users concerns promptly.

PROS

After evaluating different market options, we chose Vitrium to protect our Educational Resources and share with our customers because the implementation process and its use for our end users are amicable while keeping all the security features we need.

CONS

There is nothing that I don't like. I love the features they offer such as annotation tools, customized view, and l look forward to the new additions Vitrium will offer.

Reasons for switching to Vitrium Security

I switched to Vitrium because they offer protection via hyperlinks and include videos. Also, the end-users now with Vitrium don't need to install any additional software. The process is transparent for my end-users. This was critical for me because many end-users refuse to install additional programs.

Vendor Response

Hi Diana, thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to know that you're happy with the software and that there's nothing you dislike or have troubles with. Unlike our competitors, allowing our customers to protect multiple contet types, such as videos, is one of our priorities. We aim to make the journey for you and your end users as seamless as possbile, and pride ourselves on the fact that Vitrium does not require end users to download any kind of apps or plug-ins to access content.

Satisfied. Customer service is helpful and have been able to resolve most issues quickly.

PROS

It is easy to use and does the job it needs to do.

CONS

I would like to see more features such as a secure way to put digital files on a thumb-drive or flash card. Also, I would suggest the following for files viewed online to make it function more inline with how adobe acrobat functions. - Add a toolbar button to show one page at a time and allow users to use PgUp/PgDown to flip (no scrolling) to the previous/next page. And make this compatible with a remote. - Add a toolbar button for true full screen mode where even the annotation tools are hidden from view.

Vendor Response

Thanks, Ryan for your detailed review. The option to download a protected PDF file and store or distribute them on thumb-drives or flash cards exists for years now. The issue is that your system is configured to use True SSO which requires your users first authenticate against your back-end. If you need to distribute files and have those users manually login to receive the secured content, then you could also request a 2nd account from Vitrium Systems that doesn't use SSO. Since v7.2.1, based on your feedback/request, there is a navigation toolbar at the top of the Web Viewer window for moving between pages Up/Down icons (rather than scrolling) including a 'jump to page #' field. Also, full-screen reading mode is available. We will consider your request as a future enhancement. Today, the Web Viewer provides the means to collapse the bigger annotation bar (to the left) but leaves the smaller annotation menu bar. Above and to the left of the window is the scaling and zoom toolbar.

Vitrium suits our needs to a T.

Vitrium made it possible for us to work with remote dealers for our products and provide them with an easy-to-use solution. The training and ongoing support we've received from Vitrium has been exemplary, which goes a long way toward inspiring confidence in their product.

PROS

We had a very specific need for supplying protected PDF documents to a select audience, and when we researched the various vendors in this space, Vitrium just checked all the boxes. Their software provides the level of protection we need, while still allowing for high-resolution printing without providing uncontrolled access to source documents.

CONS

Adding new users and setting up their access to individual documents (and modifying access for existing users) can be somewhat cumbersome; I wouldn't mind seeing Vitrium streamline this somewhat by enhancing the functions available in some dialog boxes.

Reason for choosing Vitrium Security

Vitrium offered a product that fit our needs more closely AND had a better price point.

Vendor Response

Thank you so much for your great review, Patrick! We're very happy to hear Vitrium was the right DRM choice for you & has been able to help you provide protected PDFs to your customers without being too restrictive.

A systemic approach to system processes

It is the key factor which enables us to securely leverage our content for customer. It can sometimes prove challenging.

PROS

It was easy to use once I had the training required

CONS

It was difficult to implement for the team

Reason for choosing Vitrium Security

It worked within our platform to deliver the best results at the time.

Vendor Response

Hi James. Thank you for your feedback. CSA Group has helped push the envelope with DRM features and polices in Vitrium that our system wasn't originally designed to enforce, but that it does today. While your learning curve may have been steep, the system continues to evolve every few months with CSA's and other brilliant feature requests. The content protection offered and the tracking included are second to none.

Secure and functional with great customer service

We were uncertain when going from a standard PDF approach to a more sophisticated digital rights management approach. It was new to us and we were unsure whether it would overly complicate the delivery of content. The people at Vitrium have gone the extra mile to help us out, from the very beginning. Service and access to the employees, even top management, are very important to us. This is something that usually does not happen when working with a big company. Rather than sending large PDFs that some email servers reject, we are now sending a link that provides simple, protected access to our content. We encounter a small customer-related problem from time to time, but the people at Vitrium are quick to help us resolve it. We highly recommend Vitrium without reservation.

PROS

Vitrium allows us to create a quick username and password for each customer, which speeds up our delivery process, compared to our previous system. The online web viewer is an easy way for customers to view the report. It also enables viewing on tablet computers.

CONS

The user interface does not display the number of devices on which users have accessed a document. That must be done manually by sorting and filtering a spreadsheet for each user and each document. A quick counter on the UI would be ideal, and should be simple to add.

Vendor Response

We are so grateful for your kind words. Thanks for sharing your review. In more recent versions of Vitrium, and for the enterprise subscriptions only, there's additional information provided for a given User's record under the Clear Usage window. There, at a glance, one can see Device Use, IP Address Use, Print Use, and File Use. However, it would seem that also providing File Use WITH Device Use per file would be useful and would help identify potential issues with end-users sharing content credentials. Vitrium also has plans on adding a notification system where administrators can define 'triggers' for things such as a user accessing content from n or more devices (or IPs) within a specified period of time.

DRM including video streaming

Digital rights management made easy and well as the ability to have DRM on streaming products such as videos.

PROS

Single sign on capability, test account included to use in test environments, fantastic customer support from implementation to the end user stage.

CONS

For true single sign on DNS routing and web service calls/ urls need to be configured, not a CON so to speak, just something to be aware of.

Hi Ron, thank you for your feedback! As one of our longest standing customers, we truly appreciate your business and look forward to continue to support you and your team!

Easy and Effective PDF Protection

We have had a great experience in using Vitrium Security to protect documents which we deliver to our customers. Over the past 5+ years, Vitrium has added value to the information which we provide to our clients, and we are very happy with the service.

PROS

We appreciate the ease of use and the effectiveness in the protection afforded our documents in using Vitrium Security.

CONS

The sole area in which we would like to see improvement is in an easier method for users to select their own user name and password options for viewing documents.

Vendor Response

Thanks for your review. We are glad that you¿ve had a great experience in using Vitrium Security. Permissions are granted via user names which, in most cases, will be an email address. As many of the systems are integrated to 3rd party back-end systems, these email addresses are required to remain static in order to maintain the system relationships. However, an administrator of the Vitrium Administration UI can make the change to the end-users email address. However, an end-user must consult with the content vendor to request such a change.

seems like a great company to grow with

PROS

The responsiveness of the Vitrium team has been great, and we have really appreciated their flexibility with our requests as we are all trying to figure out how to best implement their powerful DRM capabilities. Having everything trackable and protected has completely removed awkward NDA conversations about IP that we are still developing.

CONS

I guess because it is so applicable to so many ways of doing things, just trying to make sure we are integrating it properly and in conjunction with other aspects of our website development. That's not so much a reflection of Vitrium, though. They've been quite helpful in talking through applications with us.

Thanks for the kind words, Marina. We do strive to make our system work seamlessly in everyone's environment and especially keep your IP safe!

Review from BSRIA information centre

Pretty easy to use from an administrators' point of view. But overall the customer experience has been better with the previous software we've used eg Locklizard - easier to search, download and print etc.

PROS

Easy to use for the administrator Multiple formats to share information Can limit number of prints and viewing to comply with British copyright Easy to load documents Easy web access - don't have to download bespoke viewing software Good software processing speeds and reasonable download speeds

CONS

Can be difficult for customers to print I have to be careful how I edit a document eg not use crop facility otherwise that hinders printing - eg it prints only one page at a time It is not easy to create reports - at least the customised reports that I would like eg how many items have been ordered/assigned and who ordered them I've not be able to find a way of viewing what a customer has ordered and editing the order (eg view and edit order history)

Reason for choosing Vitrium Security

Adobe makes you download another piece of software - customers hate that - and it doesn't limit printing to 2 copies only, which is what we needed.l

Reasons for switching to Vitrium Security

As question above

Vendor Response

Hi Maria, I know our team has spoken to you about your concerns. On the web viewer side, we released a brand new viewer earlier this year (May 2022) which has vastly improved the printing capabilities - no more funny cropping issues! While yes, our downloadable protected PDFs do require the Adobe app, usually we find Adobe Reader is quite a common PDF viewer that people use today. However, I'm happy to report that we now also support PDF-XChange Editor as well. Our customers like you choose Vitrium DRM software over our competitors because our competitors' products normally require users to download additional plug-ins or proprietary apps. With our web viewer, nothing additional needs to be installed and no messy plug-ins need to be installed for Adobe or PDF-XChange users either!

The Best Option

Vitrium has been a critical part of my business. They have always treated my small business very professionally, as if I was a big business to them. Customer Support is very responsive. Excellent customer support.

PROS

Vitrium PDF protection has been a wonderful partner for my business since 2008. They are on top of changes in technology and have been very willing to understand and adapt to the unique requirements of my business. I am glad I chose them when I did.

CONS

Only compatible with Adobe Reader because of unique printing requirements. Unique printing requirements also mean that my customers cannot use protectedpdfs on iPads and other tablets.

Reason for choosing Vitrium Security

Most of the other PDF protection did not have the print options required.

Reasons for switching to Vitrium Security

CDs are old tech and I needed a downloadable solution.

Great software for delivering protected documents to end users

PROS

Multitude of options for users. Manually creating IDs and keys is useful in some cases, integrating with out customer database so users automatically get access to appropriate documents is useful in most others. Downloadable protected PDFs or webviewer based documents used entirely in the browser satisfies almost every customer.

CONS

The very rare instance where a system update brings down the system for half an hour to an hour always somehow coincides with when my crankiest customer just happened to try accessing their documents.

Vendor Response

Hi Daniel. Thanks for the feedback. Your comment is very true as no matter when we schedule an update, there's always someone globally that could be affected. However, we're now down to only minutes of downtime for an update due to greatly streamlined and automated release capabilities and soon may not have any downtime as we continue to evolve our system deployment abilities. This fully automated deployment can even be passed on to our self-hosted enterprise customers. Everyone is looking forward to that day!

One of the best and most affordable small business to enterprise level DRM solutions out there.

PROS

We use Vitrium mainly as a client PDF document security solution. It is cost effective, easy to use, with cogent and timely customer support that feels more like a part of your team rather than just another outsourced service run by low level customer service reps. When you need help. You get it directly from people who know the product and that save time, anxiety, and money.

CONS

With what it already does so efficiently with documents, would love for Vitrium to develop a multimedia DRM solution that covers audio and video so we wouldn't need to look for a DRM solution with a different company to cover those areas.

Vendor Response

Thank, Sterling so much for taking the time to leave us this amazing review. I'm sure you already know this today, but Vitrium now supports much more than PDF's today.

Vitrium is able to accommodate some of our business requirements that are enhancements to their product. They are easy to integrate with.

Great, Affordable DRM Platform

We needed to publish a protected version of our proprietary works for public review as part of a state-level RFP. The project came to me with less than 2 weeks notice to meet the deadline. Vitrium had us up and operational well before the deadline, and the tools are so effective and easy to use that we intend to keep Virtium for the long term.

PROS

Vitrium is easy to use, and can be deployed in less than a week. It secures your content with any number of industry-standard encryption and DRM techniques you select, and give you many options for publishing the secured material, so that you can select the one that's right for you. Compared to offerings from the major players in the DRM space (e.g. the big A), it's quite affordable.

CONS

Watermarks can't be easily changed after the documents are loaded - make sure you finalize your watermarks first! Rights management and permissions are a bit less intuitive than I'd have hoped - but I think that's because they're so customizable. Pay close attention during the onboarding.

Reason for choosing Vitrium Security

It's significantly less expensive than the alternatives, and can be rapidly configured and deployed.

Vendor Response

Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback, Aaron. We're happy to hear we were able to get you up and running in time to meet your project deadlines, and we're thrilled you intend to keep us for the long term! We truly appreciate your business.

eRA DRM project

PROS

The product ability to operate on user's computers without the need to install client software was a driving factor for selecting the product among the competitors. The ability to operate both legacy way (using standard PDF viewer software) and newer way (using HTML5-compliant browsers) was also an important factor for us, as it allowed to support the wide user community without "big switch" at once.

CONS

The product has a lot of useful features but the documentation is somewhat lacking. The support staff and product specialists largely compensated for this, but the documentation quality still needs to be improved. As a side note, the product operations require setting up a new site or changing the security posture of the existing site (cross-domain access configuration). We went with the former option. This is not a show-stopper but something that should have been described better in the documentation early on.

Vendor Response

Hi Dimitri, thank you for your review. We truly appreciate your feedback! We're all about allowing you to offer your end users a simple, straightforward exprerience when accessing content, which is why we make it a priority to not require any kind of thrid party proprietary apps or plug-ins.

The Web Viewer is an excellent tool that allows our users to quickly view critical PDF documents while preventing them from copy, save and print.

CONS

Some of the old tools that Vitrium used to offer are not available any longer.

Reason for choosing Vitrium Security

Vitrium Security is a solid product that meets our requirements more than other products on the market.

Vitrium Security offers easy-to-use DRM for PDFs and other formats.

PROS

The ability to manage access to our documents in a very specific way. The DRM for PDFs is very granular. No plugins or proprietary software are required. The web viewer is brilliant and brings our documents to any device while still maintaining control.

CONS

It is possible to defeat the DRM for PDFs, although this is not trivial or quick. It suits our product perfectly, because it does not contain sensitive information, but instead hundreds of pages of proprietary images. Removing the DRM from all these pages is unfeasible. However, if you are protecting short, sensitive documents, you are better off using the web viewer, whose DRM can't be defeated.

Vendor Response

Thanks for the kudos, Michael. Yes, we also believe that our proprietary Web Viewer product is much more secure than Adobe's PDF spec and we are constantly adding new features based on customer feedback. Video support is one of the biggest core product changes we delivered last fall and we're in the process of enabling inter-linked PDF's while maintaining links between multiple documents; Ability to embed files in a PDF and access same in the Web Viewer; and more ...

Vitrium Security review

The assets that are included in the product are subjected to be sold so, it's required to have them protected and this is why Vitrium is used.

PROS

The core feature which is the DRM where assets are correctly protected, access to them are fully controlled, even when they are downloaded.

CONS

The correlation ID, it's possible to retrieve a document by the provided external key - while protecting it - but it's not possible to view that document with that external key.

Vendor Response

Oct 2022 update: Hi Muhammad, I know we've had several meetings with your firm now to get you up and running on your client's hosted environment, and we've been able to overcome the original challenges you faced. We both know how strict of an IT environment your customer has and how tricky it has been to overcome things but I'm glad we've partnered up our teams to make it work!

Vitrium

My company uses Vitirum to encrypt sensitive reports and send them to our clients. We are a consulting company specializing in IT Security and HIPAA Compliance.

PROS

I like that this is a very easy method for our customers to use, unlike other methods I have employed in the past I never have customers coming back to me with issues or complaints.

CONS

I don't like that we have to be the one to set the password for the client, each client should be able to change the password on their first login when we create an account. Also we should be able to revoke access to a document once sent to one user without revoking all users rights. Lastly, I would like permissions to be more granular. It would be nice to be able to give customers the ability to print without giving them the ability to edit the document.

Vendor Response

Thanks, Lindsay, for your valuable feedback. Revoking access can be handled by utilizing DRM Settings when provisioning content to an individual user (as is the case on your account today). Remove the DRM assignment (set it to 'not set') and the user will lose access. However, when the user is in a group and that group is granted DRM permissions, you would have to remove the user from the group otherwise the entire group of users would lose access. Your request about the password is in the pipeline but has not been scheduled for development as yet. We're not sure what you're describing as content as it is always read-only to an end-users. Perhaps you're describing annotations and printing? A suggestion is to reach out to support@vitrium.com and pose your concerns as our team will be more than happy to assist you to find solutions to the concerns.
