| Security | The maker says Emitter supports per-channel authorization policies and SSL/TLS, encrypts network traffic, and does not inspect messages. | The 5.1.0 release added SASL channel binding, which the release notes say ties authentication to the TLS connection and addresses a class of man-in-the-middle attacks. |
| Support | The maker offers support contracts and directs questions to [email protected] and GitHub issues. | The support page directs users seeking professional support or services to a directory of professional partners and also links to community forums and group chat. |
