BackBox has played a crucial role in automating the backup routines for all our firewall gateways, which span multiple vendors. Not only does it streamline the backup process, but it also facilitates a smoother restoration experience. Additionally, we've successfully utilized BackBox to automate OS updates and upgrades for our firewall gateways from various vendors. The integration with the current supported vendors is really simple.

Customer support is great and the implementation is really simple.

We do use this tool almost every day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish they could expand their support to include more vendors, even though they already support a substantial number. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
