reasons NHS IT teams choose AD360 over Quest Recovery Manager for Active Directory to enhance data protection and cybersecurity
No more unexpected recovery costs: Predictable for complete AD protection aligned with NHS DSPT standards
With Quest Recovery Manager for Active Directory, basic recovery often requires additional modules and separate licenses for backup scheduling, recovery history, and reporting. Pricing can escalate quickly during renewal.
AD360 offers a clear, full-featured backup and recovery model. No hidden costs, no upgrade shocks—just predictable pricing for complete AD protection aligned with NHS DSPT standards.
Granular recovery: Ideal for NHS data breach reporting without full domain restore
Restoring from Quest Recovery Manager may involve bulk recovery or complicated steps when you just need a single user or group back. That’s downtime you can’t afford. AD360 enables granular recovery, ideal for NHS data breach reporting scenarios—restore exactly what's needed without touching the rest of the domain.
No complex setup: Faster rollout supporting NHS cybersecurity strategy goals
While Quest Recovery Manager for Active Directory doesn’t require agents, it still depends on manual backup scheduling, network configurations, and access setup across your environment. AD360 supports NHS cybersecurity strategy goals with faster rollout—backups can begin without infrastructure changes or heavy planning.
You won’t need multiple tools to stay compliant
Quest Recovery Manager for Active Directory focuses only on backup and restore activities. For auditing, reporting, or compliance, additional tools are required. AD360 supports the NHS Data Security and Protection Toolkit (DSPT) with built-in GDPR, DSPT, and ISO 27001 reports—no third-party integration needed.
No confusing editions or feature gates: One AD360 license for full NHS Information Governance Toolkit and compliance
One AD360 license covers backup, forest recovery, auditing, and NHS DSPT reporting—no multi-edition upsells, unlike Quest’s separate Standard, Forest, and Disaster Recovery SKUs.
Rapid restore plans: Built for fast deployment aligned with cybersecurity for NHS demands
Quest Recovery Manager for Active Directory often requires scripting and support engagements. AD360 is built for fast deployment, aligned with cybersecurity demands of NHS organisations—most NHS teams go live in days.
AD360 is recognised by leading industry analysts for its reliable AD recovery, ease of deployment, and hybrid support—a preferred choice for NHS IT teams
