What do you like best about Daemon Tools?

Using Deamon tools, I can create disk clones and test ISO images. Very happy with the program and would recommend it to a friend for regular use.

By far my favourite disc emulation for Windows. It runs perfectly ten times out of ten.

It's never been easier to create virtual disks. Aside from a few minor hiccups, I have been using this software since 2006. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Daemon Tools?

I have no difficulties using this software on a regular basis, although it does consume a lot of memory at times, particularly during emulation, because it creates temporary files, operates in the background of the system, and if it is not correctly closed, it will leave a partition area. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Daemon Tools solving and how is that benefiting you?

Nothing at all, the software is the best in my opinion Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Daemon Tools?

It is one of the best programs for disk cloning, it also has excellent potential when it comes to executing ISO images, with that virutal reader unit it is an excellent tool.

The program has been very adapted to the company, and the training that the staff has needed is very little, since it has an intuitive and easy-to-use interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Daemon Tools?

At the moment this tool has nothing that I dislike, since I have used its Pro version and the free version, and the limitations between each one are understood. There is nothing more to say about Daemon Tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Daemon Tools:

Consider your requirements and then the version to use, all versions are very good, but each has its own limitations. Keep that in mind when choosing a version. For us, the Ultra version was very adapted to the company and met all failure points that we had, it was an excellent decision. By using Daemon Tools you will not regret making that decision, just like we have all this time that we have used it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Daemon Tools solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have solved being able to read and execute ISO images on some computers that do not read the format by itself, it has been of great help.

This increased the speed of some processes in the organization since we usually work some processes through iso images.

In all, most of the processes that are dedicated to backups and working with ISO images have been solved by implementing Daemon Tools in the company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Daemon Tools?

You can always download the Lite version for free and test it. It's easy to use, and I like it. The main goal of the application is easily reachable and accessible without any previous knowledge. I started using this application even when I was a young teenager while playing games that required a disk for playing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Daemon Tools?

At present, it's all good and flawless. Back in the past, sometimes, it used to load the mounted data slowly. I still remember "Access Denied" error message when I tried to create a new Virtual Drive. This was all fixed until this moment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Daemon Tools:

If you need a virtual drive, Daemon Tools would be the best option to start. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Daemon Tools solving and how is that benefiting you?

Mostly I load .iso files that I download. Back in the old days, I used it for data burning on disks. Since USB drives became famous, now I use Daemon to create image files from my CDs (convert them to digital format). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Daemon Tools?

Daemon tools is the first name that comes in your mind when you take about Iso images. It makes creating and running images a breeze. Comes in many user-preferred versions- including the lite version which is amazing! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Daemon Tools?

If a software was perfect- it is probably Daemon Tools, they offer a wide variety of versions - the free version is just enough for almost all users, and it is not a sub-par experience by any means Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Daemon Tools solving and how is that benefiting you?

Creating, mounting and managing disk drives, or backing up files to creating your bootable drive - are just some of the things that Daemon tools can handle without needing any specialization from you! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Daemon Tools?

Its emulation & virtual disc management. It's reliable & time-saving. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Daemon Tools?

Too many versions, which is something complex & challenging for beginners and amateurs to choose from Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Daemon Tools:

My simple advice would be, rather than going for multiple complex options, go for Deamon, where we get burning, image editing, mounting, VHD's & USB creation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Daemon Tools solving and how is that benefiting you?

If I'm not wrong, I'm using the daemon tool since its existanance. It has a free version which we can use before going for a paid version and accordingly we can use features like burning, mounting, creating bootable & emulating, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Daemon Tools?

Across all the options, I useed the disc mounting and Virtual HDD option which created custom HDDs for me. Also, I think currently 36$ for a lifetime license is surely affordable if you need their resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Daemon Tools?

Nothing yet, I just didn't use some options but I guess they are fine as well. Everything works as it should. Currently, I can't see any better variation of this product so... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Daemon Tools:

No mistake! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Daemon Tools solving and how is that benefiting you?

As I said, I mounted some games, "created" HDDs, and so on. I was absolutely in profit for using this Deamon Tools. I have no complaints yet.. Amazing so far! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Daemon Tools?

You can use it as a physical disk, thanks to the ISO format, to install a virtual disk drive using Deamon tools. It is one of the tools that open the most preferred iso extension in the Windows operating system. It is a very successful tool as disk boot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Daemon Tools?

It needs to open damaged iso files partially. You cannot access the iso file because of a small bad sector. The most preferred reason for the application is its simplicity. The excess of banners is tiring for the eyes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Daemon Tools solving and how is that benefiting you?

It has helped me in many vital situations, such as disk cloning, creating the virtual disk, running boot files. Like games, operating systems etc. I use it to view and manage disk images. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Daemon Tools?

Daemon tools is an easy to use tool to emulate larger files that need to be "broken" into pieces due to business needs, as an example, the configuration of product lines robotic arms with AI from factories. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Daemon Tools?

Depending on the hardware configurations, the server how needs to emulate the files can take longer than expected. If any change is needed and the app needs to be used, the loading delay from the software must be entered in the timing (CPS). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Daemon Tools solving and how is that benefiting you?

Reducing physical storage and transportation need of servers, pen drives etc - enabling safety and compliance with the business data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Daemon Tools?

I have been using the Daemon Tools tool for over 10 years. It was the tool that popularized the .ISO format. The format is very useful since it simulates the image of a physical disk, something so rare nowadays. In addition, it is a format that protects data and offers greater security against data corruption and ease of storage. The Daemon Tools tool is capable of emulating a virtual drive, as well as allowing disk images to be created easily. It is a simple, intuitive tool that performs your processes very quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Daemon Tools?

For some, the tool is no longer so useful, since Windows now offers native support for opening .ISO files. However, it is still useful in CREATING this format. The tool could offer more features to backup and restore corrupted images. The ads (which didn't exist there at the beginning) end up disturbing the tool's interface a little. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Daemon Tools:

There is the paid version that contains no ads and offers a few more features. However, I don't think it's worth it: the free version meets the main requirements of the tool. Just accept that there will be ads appearing on the screen, which may irritate some users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Daemon Tools solving and how is that benefiting you?

Daemon Tools is the best tool for managing .ISO files. I use it a lot to create virtual images of operating systems that I want to install on virtual machines. It allows me to perform a full backup of physical disks, in order to avoid data loss. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
