Pros

“Backups, Images saved without issues, Restore backups and images even without issues.”

Michael S.

CEO

“Cust. support, Simple and easy navigation interface, No recurring charges”

Muhammed S.

Mg. Partner

“They were very friendly and helpful but I have since installed over 30 new versions to try and fix the problem!”

Francesco R.

Engineer

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.”

Michael D.

Grand Guru

“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.”

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.”

Mike W.

General Manager

Cons

“Send issue in email and only one of the issues are addressed, like the techs do not read the entire email.”

Byron H.

“Inability to span tapes.”

Bill G.

IT Consultant

“There is nothing that sticks out, perhaps the unique pc code during installation, just a minor extra step when it comes to deploying... "could" be time consuming if deploying on a few machines at a time.”

Anton d.

Owner

Cons

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

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. ”

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.”
