"Powerful, User-Friendly Data Wiping with Impressive Customization"
What do you like best about Active KillDisk?

I like that it supports more than 20 sanitization standards (including the newest IEEE 2883) and its ease of use. Active@ KillDisk's customization is also worth mentioning, particularly in terms of the sanitization certificates and labels, as well as the ability to run scripts on the accompanying boot disk. This feature enables users to automatically start a drive wipe by simply inserting a USB drive into a PC. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Active KillDisk?

I am not a fan of the licensing system, as I feel it could have been explained more clearly. When you purchase KillDisk software, you receive a license that allows you to erase two drives at the same time. If you need to handle more drives simultaneously, you have to buy an additional license for each extra slot. While I think this approach is acceptable, I do wish the website had provided a clearer explanation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Customizable Overwrite Passes Make It Ideal for Sensitive Data Handling"
What do you like best about Active KillDisk?

What I appreciate most is the ability to select the number of overwrite passes. Since I handle hard drives from Admin, police, and fire departments, these require a higher level of data sanitation than those used by regular end users. I like how easy it is to install and use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Active KillDisk?

I am frustrated by how slow it is to overwrite. This aspect really detracts from my experience with the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to Use Disk Wiping Utility"
What do you like best about Active KillDisk?

It's simple to use and guarantees the data is securely erased. It will even verify the disk has been erased after completion. The amount of info on about the disk including partition tables is a nice feature too.There is even a freeware version that does great for most tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Active KillDisk?

The interface is somewhat basic, but it gets the job done in the end. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"An Obstructive Solution"
What do you like best about Active KillDisk?

Active KillDisk is unreliable when it comes to erasing data from my drive. It needs to provide me with a sense of security knowing that my sensitive information is unable to be retrieved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Active KillDisk?

The less user friendly interface makes it difficult to use for individuals, like me who're not particularly tech savvy. It lacks the ability to personalize the wiping process according to my requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Killdisk"
What do you like best about Active KillDisk?

We used killdisk to completely wipe our harddrives before we had them physically distroyed Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Active KillDisk?

The biggest downside for me is that when you go through the process for a dod class wipe it takes a long time. I also wish I had a way to wipe multiple drives at one time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Retire Servers with Confidence - Unleashing the Power of Active KillDisk"
What do you like best about Active KillDisk?

I would really like more detailed options. When a director enters the IT department, it would be nice for them to see Active Killdisk operating and more visually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Killdisk is best to clear any data"
What do you like best about Active KillDisk?

I really like Killdisk because it can securely erase any file on my hard drive, and since it runs through a disk, it can be used to erase a hard drive that has an operating system installed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Active KillDisk?

I don't think there's anything that I dislike about killdisk, but I think if it supports more wipe options, that would take the experience to a whole another level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
