BackBox helps me not to have to think about using backup for network devices every day. I like it because it can save me on having to do a lot of scrambling when a config is accidentally changed. Once one gets used to the layout, it seems pretty straight forward. It also makes it easy to review the backup history when I want to determine what's different.

The automatic network device backups are a lifesaver, no more of having to remember to back up with CLI commands. 200+ routers/switches are backed up daily, and it works perfectly, even with such a diverse vendor mix as Cisco, Juniper, and Palo Alto. We've been able to use the one-click restore twice when we've had some misconfigurations, last month a junior engineer fat fingered one ACL and we rolled back in less than 2 minutes.

I really appreciate how BackBox takes the manual backup grind off my hands by automatically pulling configs from around 400 devices nightly instead of having to log into each one. It has been a lifesaver for audits and change-management, especially with config versioning that helped us prove PCI remediation in a day rather than a week. The pre-change backups provide one-click rollbacks when a push goes wrong, which is comforting. I also love that the alerts catch unauthorized changes early, allowing my team to focus on more impactful projects. The integration with our SIEM and ticketing systems is seamless, automatically generating tickets and helping us stay on top of things. Additionally, the reporting feature is gold, providing a clear view of device availability, backup success rates, and compliance, all essential for audits and budget discussions.
