I'm no expert, but I don't like companies that have their product
spammed, so had it not been for prior exposure I might say it looks like
a worthy product line.
An interesting point for me is that having multiple engines applied
might decrease the signal-to-noise ratio by adding a greater chance of
false positives while not significantly increasing the detection rate.
