### "Very satisfied for already a very long time"

November 27, 2024

5.0

We are very satisfied with the product and also the help if something is not working in case of an update. But this is a very rare situation.

Pros

We are working with Blancco since they exist: we highly appreciate the partnership with them and don't see them only as a supplier. Blancco is working most of the times and is a very reliable product to use. Also easy to use.

Cons

The import and conversion to Excel is not always easy to do, because you have to correct the columns and fields sometimes to much.

January 15, 2025

The support from Blancco is superb - from both a technical advice perspective, but also in the event of an issue we don't understand, they are always quick to respond and as quick to resolve!

Pros

It's the name people want - It does what it should with no drama!

Cons

What's not to like. Any problems we have faced are usually a result of user error or our infrastructure.

### "Secure and Effective Data Wiping with Outstanding Customer Service"

November 22, 2024

5.0

The product performs well under normal conditions. It’s fast, and we haven't experienced any significant slowdowns or crashes. Thorough and Secure Data Wiping with Excellent Support Team.

Pros

The support team is generally responsive and helpful, although there were times when it took longer than expected to get a resolution for more complex issues. The support portal and knowledge base are useful but could benefit from more up-to-date content. It’s also helpful when FAQs and guides have more real-world use cases and examples to clarify more technical details.

Cons

Migration of reports from old to new should be automated instead of few click one has to done for new blancco portal.

All in all pretty easy to use. suits our purposes for sure. as mentioned above it was a bit of a pain to go into settings and change debug mode etc .. but this is a lot better now with the QR code. It is quite quick and painless to use , which is exactly what we need in an IT tool. recommended

Pros

it is pretty straight forward and easy to use,

it defiantly was a pain having to go in to the settings to change things before a wipe .. but a lot of that has been alleviated now with the QR code.

Overall, we have had a fantastic experience with the drive eraser tool. It's a tool our team fully trusts to get the job done.

Pros

Blancco is a fantastic tool and addition to our IT toolbox. It gets the job done effectively, is versatile in its use cases, and it is very easy to use.

Cons

The only Con with Blancco is the time it took to build our drive erasure tech. It took considerable time to use their documentation to get up to speed. Once we had everything built though, we learned we can't live without it now.
