What do you like best about Tails?

Tails is a complete sandbox environment which doesn't leak information out to your normal computing environment. It doesn't store any information, so no cookies, logs or cache are retained. Sending network traffic via Tor means that your data can't be eavesdropped on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tails?

Tails is only good for occasional use for high stakes privacy protection. Because no data is stored locally, you can't use it as a regular desktop environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Tails solving and how is that benefiting you?

Tails protects while traveling in a hostile environment subject to censorship or monitoring. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Tails?

it routs all internet traffic through the TOR browser/network. It's much safer that way. Tails uses Tor for the most part. If you are asking if it is safer than just using the Tor browser, then yes, in most cases Tails is safer.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You can lose the usb or dvd to download. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Tails?

Tails is a complete distribution with a lot of security tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tails?

Tails has a steep learning curve. Also it is more of a niche OS, for security applications, primarily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Tails:

Geronimo! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Tails solving and how is that benefiting you?

A portable, bootable Linux distribution, that lets you use (for example) public computers, without interacting with systems you don't know about. A more secure way to connect when you are on the road and have to rely on someone else's hardware. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
