(Original )Information
What do you like best about BackBox?

It's a cheap and affective solution .Very easy to use. Support is awesome. The number of devices and versions supported is enormous. Even the vendor product is not endorsed, the support team provide assistance for the integration, and the new release has native support for the product. It's like a swiss knife. You can do the asset management, monitoring, backup/restore, compliance and secure access with the same solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BackBox?

It has an extensive GUI, but usage is cumbersome. There's no assist on the webui. Intellicheck has many checks, but there's no handshake or auto-discovery mechanism for devices. You need to know which version and module. Backup has no auto discovery mechanism. It's not a real time monitoring solution. Even you can lower the scheduling time for checks it'll not be real time. You may need to be familiar with the scripts. Script tracking and error debug is not easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering BackBox:

It's an all-in one solution. Please don't think very complicated. Just install it on the VM. with the required resources. It needs storage. Use the backbox in all automation cases ad think like secops guy. Time is money. Automation is the future. Purchase in a bundle and get the license for all planned integrated devices, the discount rate differs ifor the number of devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have strict rules and security regulations,, and compliance requirements for the operational management of security devices. Backbox solves the regulation and compliances requirements.
