New R10Cipher Testimonials

Yesterday I received two new testimonials for R10Cipher, my Cross Platform Email and File Security Software.

I have a thing for encryption programs and most sadly seem to be snake oil and try and hype on the fear factor. I was impressed that you have chosen not to go the way of the “Military Level Encryption” or “Not Even the CIA Can Break” road and simply give examples of what your product can do.

Which is why after a quick play with your product, reading all the documentation and the ever important look on google for any negative things, I have purchased a couple of licences and may get more before the end of the Zot.
Good work. - Kevin

I saw your app on MACZOT promo today and downloaded the trial.  I liked what I saw and replaced another encryption app that I was using.  Good job.  - Joe


It really gives me a buzz when people care enough about my work to write and tell me. Cheers guys Happy

R10Cipher Customer Testimonials

R10Cipher, my Cross Platform File and Text Encryption Solution, recently received some great testimonials:

R10Cipher is simple, easy to use and powerful. It is the best encryption program for the Mac we have found. - Paul, OnTravel.Com


R10Cipher has been an excellent product for ensuring the safe and secure transmission of files in a cross platform environment. As an independent Strategy Consultant using Apple Mac, but with a client base using mostly PC platforms, I need to find a way to easily send sensitive market and financial data to clients with no hassle for my clients. R10Cipher does the job simply, easily, and with no problems at all, and causes no difficulties with clients firewalls. Enough said!... great product.
- Peter M. Scott


For NetFoos I am lucky enough to travel around the USA and parts of Europe to bring live streaming foosball tournaments to the foosball community. For the live streaming there is a lot of information needed to keep the server running and secure. Now, while on the road with R10Cipher, receiving this information from the home office is much easier as we can simply encrypt and email it while feeling confident that our data remains private. Although we are constantly finding new uses for the software, this one capability has made R10Cipher a great investment for us.
- Mark Winker, NetFoos.com


If you need to make company or private info available on a need to know basis, them R10Cipher is the tool for you. There are other encryption packages but I haven't found an easier to use cross platform software than this one. 
- Paulo Pires


My Sony USB Microvault is so much easier than lugging my laptop through airport security, yet again. The nightmare of the lost or stolen USB stick is only too real, with the Staff Salary Reviews and the Acquisition Financials modeled in embarrassing detail.  I use R10Cipher for Mac as a simple and reliable way of exchanging financial models and private placement memorandums across platforms as well as for secure storage on my USB sticks and portable hard drives. Simple, reliable and easy to use. -
Karl Mattingly, Partner, slowCapital


R10Cipher is a fantastic cross platform tool which has given us the peace of mind that our patient sensitive research data can be transmitted electronically in a secure manner on site or with collaborators around the world.  The ability to encrypt and attach files to emails or simply encrypt the email text between Apple Macs and Windows PCs without the need for complicated software installations means that our users are happy to use this great bit of software.  The developer’s proactive approach to their software development requesting and rapidly incorporating users feedback has turned a good encryption tool into and excellent one. -
