"Horrible product Customer beware" Posted 2025-09-19
Pros: It should be an easy to use product.... should be, but it is easy to plug in download activate after that nothing but headaches and time wasted
Cons: It's garbage it shows as up to date and activated on my computer but they keep telling me first it wasn't activated... it was 2nd not up to date reformat try again. I don't have a year to fix their garbage asked for a refund multiple times keep getting the run around
Overall: HORRIBLE, Dumpster fire, not fun, customer service gives you the run around having you do stuff multiple times to no avail

We do not believe this review gives a fair account of how the complaint was handled. Our team responded to your support request in September 2025 and provided setup and update guidance. We did not ignore your request for help. Regarding the refund, PayPal provided a route to a refund subject to the item being returned. You subsequently cancelled that dispute. A return-and-refund option was therefore available, and the PayPal case was closed following your cancellation. We respect your right to describe your experience, but the support provided and the available return-and-refund option are important parts of that history. For any unresolved technical issue or suspected fault, please contact our support team with your order number so we can explain the appropriate troubleshooting or warranty steps. -

"Reliable and Easy-to-Use Data Wiping Tool" Posted 2024-07-07
Pros: Redkey USB is incredibly easy to use, even for someone who's not super tech-savvy. The interface is straightforward, and it walks you through the steps to wipe your data securely. I love that it meets high standards like NIST 800-88, which gives me peace of mind knowing my data is really gone. The data wipe certificates are a nice touch, especially if you need proof for work or personal records.
Cons: The only downside is that you can only wipe one device at a time with each key. This can be a bit time-consuming if you have multiple devices to clean. But I've heard they're working on a new version that will let you wipe several devices at once, so that should help.
Overall: I've been using Redkey USB (ultimate) for over two years, and it's been a reliable tool for wiping my old laptops and phones. It does the job well, and I trust it to keep my data secure. If you're looking for a solid, easy-to-use data wiping solution, Redkey is a top choice.

The PDF reports in Professional and Ultimate record the disk, erasure method and result, giving you a useful record of each job. For clarity, each standard Redkey USB runs on one computer at a time and can erase up to 16 connected disks. Ultimate's Mobile Mode handles one supported phone or tablet at a time. We appreciate your feedback about working through several devices, and your continued support.
