Trust in file recovery software usually comes from whether the platform performs reliably when recovery is urgent, not just when backups are healthy. IT leaders tend to value consistent restore success, clear reporting, fast support, ransomware protection, auditability, and confidence that recovery workflows will work under pressure.
