Notebooks.com's Review of FailSafe™

Review of Phoenix FailSafe: Track Down Lost Laptops and Data

Notebooks.com reviewer Josh Smith wrote:

The FailSafe service provides several useful features to safeguard your laptop and the information you keep on it. Even with the limitations on file recovery; FailSafe provides users with useful features and assistance in tracking down a lost or missing laptop.

FailSafe is limited by the fact that you can only purchase it with a new computer and when purchased from Dell, you must purchase it as part of Dell CompleteCare package. But, if you’re already looking for accidental coverage then FailSafe is a strong laptop location and protection service.

Review of Phoenix FailSafe™

Sal Cangeloso posted a review of Phoenix FailSafe laptop anti-theft protection software today on Geek.com. Below is some of what he had to say:

"The basic structure of FailSafe is pretty simple. It’s a software tool that you install on your computer that, when connected to the internet, gives you control of the system through a website. A web-based dashboard offers you a surprising amount of information while giving you access to files as well as the ability to exert some control over the computer’s data. It is only of use if your computer is missing/stolen so it is not a deterrent (in fact it would be best if the thief does not know you have it installed). For this article the consumer version of the software was used on a Dell 14z laptop."
