"Flexible Solution Offers Compliance and Reliable Data Erasure"
What do you like best about Blancco?

Reliable, scalable, and flexible are the qualities that stand out most to me when describing BLANCCO. The platform offers a broad array of features that can suit the needs of any organization, especially regarding secure data erasure, compliance, and IT hygiene. In my experience, the remote data erasure feature is particularly valuable, especially when used alongside workflows that enable automation and monitoring throughout the process. In addition to an ease implementation and very ease administration giving the oportunity to integrate many operational in just one Central Management Console.

"Simple yet unparalleled Security!!!"
What do you like best about Blancco?

Blancco has impressed me time and time again with its unwavering focus on data security. The best thing about this software, in my opinion, is its thorough and comprehensive data erasure capabilities. Blancco takes away all worries of data breaches or unauthorized access. Once it wipes data, it's gone for good!

Another feature that truly distinguishes Blanco is its compliance with various data protection regulations. The detailed data erasure reports provided by the software are a fantastic way to demonstrate regulatory compliance. This aspect gives me extraordinary peace of mind in ensuring that sensitive data isn't just securely erased but also done in complete adherence with prescribed legal guidelines.

On top of these outstanding features, Blancco's role in reducing the environmental impact of electronic waste is an added bonus. It has transformed the way we reuse, resell or recycle old IT assets. This software isn't just good for business, but for our planet as well.

Overall, Blancco is a stellar solution for any company's data security needs—it's reliable, secure, and responsible. I would recommend using Blancco to anyone who values comprehensive data security and environmental sustainability alike! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blancco?

While Blancco is a robust and powerful tool, one minor disadvantage is that the software aesthetic and design is a bit outdated. This doesn't impact functionality, but it would be nice to see a sleeker and more modern interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Top Notch!"
What do you like best about Blancco?

I’ve been searching for a reliable and secure way to erase data from the hard drives and SSDs of our company, and I’m so glad I found this software! As someone who values data privacy, I wanted to make sure that no trace of my personal or corporate information would be left behind before recycling or selling my devices. This software did not disappoint.

What I loved the most is how seamlessly it works with both traditional hard drives and newer SSDs. It provides specialized erasure methods tailored to the unique nature of SSDs, ensuring that the data is truly gone and cannot be recovered.

The interface is clean, user-friendly, and makes it simple to choose between different levels of erasure, from a basic wipe to a more advanced, military-grade option. For anyone looking for peace of mind, I highly recommend going with the more secure option—it’s fast, thorough, and leaves no room for recovery.

It provides a detailed report after the process, which is reassuring if you're looking for a traceable record of the erasure for your own documentation.

For anyone concerned about leaving personal data behind or those looking to safely dispose of or donate old drives, this software is a game-changer. I couldn’t be happier with the results, and I feel much more secure knowing that my data is completely wiped from both my hard drives and SSDs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blancco?

The documentation could more detailed and precise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best in the market!"
What do you like best about Blancco?

Blancco drive eraser has been in use with us for a long time and we like it.

Compared to other programs we have tried, we think Blancco is the best.

Some good points:

• Possibility of HASP key licensing (offline environments)

• Blancco image can be customized according to the company's requirements

• Additional information in reports can also be customized in advance

• Possibility to choose the level of verification (%)

• Most NVMe drives support Blancco SSD erasure method firmware overwrite (note: Western Digital drives do not support)

• Possibility of HASP key licensing (offline environments)

• Customer service also in Finnish

Compared to other erasure products, we have not found many bad points. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blancco?

The only bad point is that Blancco is not on the list of approved erasure products by the Finnish NCSA (Traficom). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very buggy, intentionally misleading pricing"
What do you like best about Blancco?

When the software actually works, it is fairly efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blancco?

The software is very buggy and unstable. They regularly release updates they clearly have not properly tested, and they push out changes before properly documenting them. The software will work, then get an update and not work for another two weeks.

They also have misleading pricing, so their software will be significantly more expensive than they quote you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Mission accomplished on securing the erasure"
What do you like best about Blancco?

Within the resource center, we sometimes work with associations or communities that may have sensitive data on their computers that they give to us. Blancco allows us to certify the erasure of the data and thus confirm compliance with the GDPR law for the donor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blancco?

The least obvious might be the handling of the tool primarily in English by employees in integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
