What do you like best about Active KillDisk?

Active KillDisk is unreliable when it comes to erasing data from my drive. It needs to provide me with a sense of security knowing that my sensitive information is unable to be retrieved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Active KillDisk?

The less user friendly interface makes it difficult to use for individuals, like me who're not particularly tech savvy. It lacks the ability to personalize the wiping process according to my requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Active KillDisk solving and how is that benefiting you?

The interface appears outdated and confusing resulting in a learning curve. Compared to data erasure tools the software lacks some advanced features which limit its effectiveness. Active KillDisk falls short in terms of user friendliness and functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest downside for me is that when you go through the process for a dod class wipe it takes a long time. I also wish I had a way to wipe multiple drives at one time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We were wanting to be able to securely wipe our hardrives. We were very concerned about leaving any trace of information on the drives.

It gave us a way to destroy the data. Then we printed out the sucess sheet so we had proof the drive was ran through the killdisk process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
