## CloneDeploy Reviews
  ### 1. CloneDeploy : The best and opensource Computer Cloning solution.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** KIRAN B. | Associate Software Engineer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 18, 2022

**What do you like best about CloneDeploy?**

I appreciate Clone Deploy's simplicity of use and affordability. It allows for the effective deployment and administration of numerous systems, saving our team's time and resources. The tool's open source status also gives us the freedom to customise it and incorporate it with our current infrastructure.

**What do you dislike about CloneDeploy?**

I don't like Clone Deploy's limited scalability, for one thing. The tool may not be appropriate for larger organisations with a high number of devices because it can be difficult to manage a lot of systems. It may also be challenging to troubleshoot and resolve problems due to the tool's limited documentation and support resources.

**What problems is CloneDeploy solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are using CloneDeploy to deploy and manage our systems in an efficient and effective manner. We can build and maintain images of our systems and quickly transfer those images to brand-new or pre-existing hardware. As opposed to manually configuring and setting up each device, this saves us a considerable amount of time and resources.

It is an open-source application that performs effortlessly on multiple computers. When we have to configure a new Computer for a user, it saves us time. It works on Windows and Linux perfectly. CloneDeploy is a time-savior product.

Sometimes, creating or restoring the clone image takes too much time. But it is just small issue that can be ignored for such a fantastic product.

**What problems is CloneDeploy solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Yes! It benefits in saving time and money both for an organization. It can be deployed on both Linux and Microsoft platforms, which helps users.

  ### 3. Difficult to deploy

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Adediran Y. | Data Security and Privacy / OpenCEMS Platform Developer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 21, 2022

**What do you like best about CloneDeploy?**

It is an openSource solution that works perfectly on more than 4,000 computers.

**What do you dislike about CloneDeploy?**

It's very hard to install it under a linux distribution and especially the Mono module. This solution is written in C# and requires to install a component that is not in the official repositories. Another limitation is that it is not available on Mac

**What problems is CloneDeploy solving and how is that benefiting you?**

This solution offers the possibility to define cloning or deployment tasks of system images (Windows, macOS and GNU/Linux) via different methods like PXE through a web interface.
