Pros

“The Windows Image Backup feature allows users to create a full system backup, ensuring that all files, settings, and applications are securely stored.”
NS

Nayan S.

TECH SUCCESS

“We are using it to serve hundreds of customers and device and I can sleep well at night knowing it's taking care of backing up our critical data for all of our customers.”
CE

Chris E.

VP of Technology

“Good for MSPs: supports multiple tenants and the client software allows for rebranding with your own name/logo”
AP

Aaron P.

Owner

Pros

“For example, I have a couple of programs (including Macrium) that occasionally lose their key settings files on one of my computers. If I can't restore in a simpler way, I can restore the last good copy from a backup with a minimum of fuss, seeing & even opening the file(s) in question before restore.”
MD

“The ability to make bootable rescue media to repair or re-image failing PCs has empowered our technicians to get way more issues fixed with fewer trips.”
JB

Josh B.

System Support Manager

“It has always been a rock solid backup utility, I use it for all our PC's either through Reflect Workstation or via Macrium Site Manager for remote recovery. If a PC is trashed or a new HD installed then the Rescue media on a USB stick can always do the job.”
MW

Mike W.

General Manager

Cons

“Would like to be able to support older versions of Windows Server, because we all have those old servers sitting around somewhere!There are some issues to beware of regarding multiple jobs backing up to a single repository. If a job doesn't complete, you could end up with a locked repository that keeps other jobs from running.”
WR

Walt R.

Technology Consultant

“The Server back-end, sometimes there are weird errors backing up restored VM's, sometimes slow performance, no instant disaster recovery from the data.”
FT

Francois T.

Owner

“Documentation is not good for this task.”
MT

Matthew T.

Jr System Admin

Cons

“Support has its own site, but their system doesn't recognize my credentials and I never received the reset key.”
MD

Michael D.

Grand Guru

“Even though we have good source control and production data is safe, if my laptop fails it can be a major irritation. ”
SS

Skip S.

Dev Lead

“I have to be honest with you, there isnt really much to dislike about a piece of software that makes cloning an imaging a breeze.”
