	Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros The team at Defendify where so easy to deal with and were very proactive. I really felt they listened to what I needed and (of course there was a sales pitch for extra services), it wasn't pushy and it was tailored to our needs. Support has been responsive and everything is super easy to setup. Cons Nothing so far. I guess only that you get a teaser of the extra services.
