Who we are
IT Tools & Reviews is written by an IT infrastructure architect with more than 10 years of hands-on experience running endpoint security, backups, patching and disaster recovery for multi-site businesses.
Day to day, that means deploying and supporting the same kinds of tools small businesses are trying to choose between: EDR and antivirus platforms, backup and recovery systems, password managers and, increasingly, AI productivity tools.
Why this site exists
Most “best tool” lists are written by people who have never had to restore a server at 2 a.m. or roll a password manager out to 40 staff. Small businesses deserve advice from someone who has.
How we review
- We judge tools on what matters to a 1–50 person business: setup effort, real cost, support, and what happens when something goes wrong.
- We say who a tool is not for, not just who it’s for.
- Where we haven’t used a product hands-on, we say so.
- Some links on this site are affiliate links. They never decide what we recommend. See our Affiliate Disclosure.
