What do you like best about FTK Central?

it is a great way of organizing and reviewing evidence Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FTK Central?

too many bugs, incomplete or non -existent documentation, first level support never seems to know who we are (ie: asking the same rhetorical questions or giving stock answers) and a lot of functions that are not well thought out from a legal review perspective, by the developers.

Additional Edits:

Support is getting a bit better, now let's see if 8.0 works out the most obvious flaws. Not holding my breath though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Samantha Nguyen of FTK Forensic Toolkit

I’m very sorry to hear you’ve had a bad experience with Exterro recently! As a long time employee of AccessData, my experience has been very different – since being acquired, Exterro has invested heavily in all aspects of the FTK product – engineering, customer service, support, etc. We’ve released 5 major new versions, 2 brand new products, and our users are particularly excited about FTK 8 which has an entirely new, modern interface and the market’s most robust artifact categorization that has impressed even our veteran expert users (a difficult feat!). Our FTK support team consistently receives incredibly high satisfaction rates from every support ticket that is opened by our customers. I’m truly sorry that you haven’t shared that same experience. I would love to help you have a better relationship with us, we’re ready to wow you again! Please feel free to reach out to me so I can help!

We find that the QC is lacking, patches sometimes break important functions and we often find that tools such as filter, drop down menus etc. are not useable or not readable, The manual often doesn't cover important points of the usage of certain tools (See 'Detailed Reports' for instance) . We find our selves showing Exterro techs issues that they didn't even know existed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
