Active@ File Recovery vs. SecureLink Enterprise Access

Once I had some IT person who just assumed I have no valuable files on other partition, and this person formatted my entire PC. Even though I transfered all my important files from C partition for this reason. I was devastated, and more so that this young person told me the files can't be recovered. Lucky for me I remembered this software that we often use at work. I'm not sure for when it's less appropriate, it's not really a tool someone needs for every day use, but once it's needed it really solves what you need

It does exactly what it needs to. The only times I've had serious issues with rolling out to a vendor is when they have a "contractual agreement" to only use their solution. Almost every vendor that I've worked with and shown this product to has been skeptical for the first 5 minutes and fully converted to liking the ease of use of the product by 10 minutes

• It can recover files even outside the recycle bin
• I also use it to can the drive and recover individual files
• It can also recover data from damaged or formatted partitions

• Easy to setup on a client PC or server for access
• Organizes client connections by gatekeeper so it is easy to find what you need
• File transfer option is great for uploading files to client servers

• The difference between Quick Scan, SuperScan and Last Chance is not exactly clear and it could be explained better

• Java based. Always an issue. I know they are working on this and it will be Javaless if we need it. I know that Java can cause issues across the board and I understand the need of it, but it does not make it any better when there are Java issues.
• Stronger integration with the Active Directory. Currently its only read-only, which is good and bad.
• I would love to see an App. I know they are working on this as well.

We are happy using securelink to access our client environments

It's practical and has specific purpose which it fulfils

The employees at Securelink have always been responsive and seem to be invested in the success of my company. They truly understand what their product means to us so if there is a problem, they are always willing to help. In the rare event that something is found on their end, they will be proactive and reach out to someone to help and get something on calendar for a fix

Senior employees who are more experienced and tech savy

I previousely used EaseUS data recovery wizard which was free, and it was great for simple basic recovery. But when multiple people are working simultaneosly on a same project, it means a lot to have the ability to search for the specific file or folder with a quick scan. Since switching, this app has become a valuable tool in our asset

Securelink seems to work better than LogMein for a large enterprise group. Our company has over 10,000 different connections and securelink manages them well.

• I've found that Securelink allows me to get a vendor access to an application for support purposes much faster than a provisioned VPN account and the red tape around this. I can set up a vendor to access an application suite in a half hour and it will be more secure than regular provisioning.
• The ROI is yet to be seen on this, but it certainly makes Compliance, Internal Audit, and Legal very happy, which helps everybody.
• Internally, there is much more push back and it has been problematic. For a tech, to have to log in to a server and navigate to a system is considered cumbersome, when before all they had to do was open up Putty or RDP to a server to get in. The only way to combat this is to force them to use Securelink by removing rights. Near impossible for the domain admins.
