Belkasoft X Forensic vs Cellebrite Inseyets

Belkasoft X Forensic acquires, analyzes, and reports digital evidence from computers, mobile devices, RAM, cars, drones, and cloud sources. Its acquisition options include DD/E01 imaging, iOS checkm8 and agent-based acquisition, and several Android methods. Analysis features include timeline and connection graph views, SQLite recovery, hash-set analysis, file carving, and picture and video analysis. The software can examine UFED and GrayKey images, virtual machines, Amazon S3-based images, Berla car exports, and data from services including Google Drive, iCloud, Microsoft 365, WhatsApp, and Telegram. Reports can be produced in formats such as HTML, XML, CSV, PDF, Excel, Word, ProjectVIC JSON, and Relativity Short Message Format. Colleagues can view shared findings with the free Evidence Reader, whether or not X Forensic is installed. The product is self-hosted and offered to government customers only. Its license is perpetual, with optional annual software maintenance and support; pricing is provided by quote. A 30-day trial requires internet access. Trial reports contain half of randomly selected artifacts, and several acquisition, decryption, virtual-machine, and command-line automation features are excluded. The company describes it as suited to digital forensic laboratories at federal and state-level law-enforcement agencies.

Cellebrite Inseyets is a digital forensics suite for accessing, extracting, and analyzing digital evidence. It combines capabilities from Premium, UFED, Physical Analyzer including Reader, Cloud, Commander, and Cellebrite Autonomy. Cellebrite says the suite supports current Android and iOS devices and full file system extractions, including encrypted content. Streamline processes supported devices from extraction to UFDR; Quick View previews devices before processing, and Triage applies customizable criteria to flag relevant devices. Autonomy automates multiple evidence-processing tasks on a computing unit. Guardian integrates with UFED and Physical Analyzer, and UFED can upload extractions to Guardian automatically. The product is presented for forensic examiners and investigators, including law enforcement and private-sector teams handling investigations, insider threat response, or compliance reviews. Pricing is available on request. A trial for existing license holders covers Inseyets PA v10.x decoding and analysis, but not extraction or other advanced capabilities. A Cellebrite Max dongle is required; full use requires a network connection, though an offline configuration is available.
