### "The Best DRM Ever!"

January 3, 2019

5.0

Pros

Microsoft Playready DRM is being used in our company for a very long period. We use it to encrypt confidential media. It's lightweight and does not consume system resources unnecessarily. The feature I like the most is that it's totally Ads-Free, so if your working at something your attention won't be divided because your software has a new promotion for you!

Cons

I haven't encountered any cons but I do have a suggestion; Microsoft should be providing a list of bug fixes and updates, it would help the user to understand the software more accurately.

### "An Amazing tool!"

April 23, 2018

5.0

Pros

I really like that PlayReady prevents the copying of media files to avoid encryption. It's an amazing tool!

Cons

A con to any software is the price of it, however for what you're getting, it's definitely worth putting house the money.
