What do you like best about Macrium Reflect?

I do not like anything best it is free but useless Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Macrium Reflect?

Refused to clone drive. Refused to copy from origin drive which had flaws. If the origin drive was flawless, I would not be trying to move data from it to the new drive. Used W10 to just copy files over then CCleaner to wipe the old drive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Macrium Reflect:

If you have 2 perfect flawless drives I am certain it will be great. But then, why do you need to clone one perfect flawless drive to another perfect flawless drive? PS Below question requires me to state I have data backed up w/ MAcrium to submit review. To be completely honest I was not able to backup ANY Data using Macrium. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Macrium Reflect?

I like that you can clone a drive while the system is running. Use to be that you had to boot to something other than your operating system and hope it recognized all the devices. Macrium allows you to clone while windows is running. It is convenient and I have rarely had an issue other than when a drive I was copying is failing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Macrium Reflect?

There isn't much to complain about with Macrium Reflect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Macrium Reflect?

Macrium Reflect is a smart and manageable way to get data backed up. I got to use it to make a copy of my HDD and directly transfer it to my SDD and I lost nothing during this process. It is very fast in its work and enabled us to make a backup of my disk and restored it into a tiny one. It allowed compression and manipulation very conveniently. The backup scheduling feature is also available in it along with web access and encryption for stabler security. It also offers incremental and differential backups. I downloaded it without facing any difficulty. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Macrium Reflect?

There is nothing as such specific to be regarded as a disadvantage of it. As I have faced any difficulty from downloading it to making a backup of my hard drive and it is swift in its action too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Macrium Reflect solving and how is that benefiting you?

Macrium Reflect is so handy and simple solution for data backup. Harddrive backups are very easy to be done using it. It has features like Backup scheduling along with web access and encryption It allowed compression and manipulation too. Its downloading process is also very uncomplicated and one doesn’t really have to follow any long road to download it. And as far as its imperfections are concerned then I don’t have anything to mind about it as its price too, is very cheap and it works efficiently too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Macrium Reflect?

Macrium Reflect is easy to use, has a lot of online tutorials and guides. It is fast and it offers the opportunity to get a clone of your HDD directly on your new SSD, without losing any file or data. Your SSD will be ready to use, just plug and play! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Macrium Reflect?

I don't dislike anything about Macrium Reflect, even if I use the free version of this software, I can do a lot of things with it. I can just imagine what i would do, once I'll get the paid version! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Macrium Reflect:

Please consider Macrium Reflect if you need a cloning and backupping software that will solve your problem while trying to clone an HDD or to restore an HDD or SSD data. It is really easy to use and you will also find a lot of help on their site. Other than that you can consider Macrium Reflect also from its free edition, that let you try its features, leaving the decision to pay for the service after you try it.

I think that once you try it, you won't lose the opportunity to get even more features and service from the paid version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Macrium Reflect solving and how is that benefiting you?

I solved a lot of problem with my costumers asking for 1 to 1 clone of their old HDD on other HDD or SSD and also speed up the cloning process. I get a lot of work time reduced thanks to Macrium Reflect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Macrium Reflect?

What I like most about this tool is being able to make an image of a disk and restore it to a smaller one. For example an image of a 750 GB disk that only had an operating system, lets you load the partitions into a 250 GB SSD. Of course, you have to verify that the boot and system partitions occupy less of that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Macrium Reflect?

The worst is when it comes to cloning a disk since it often fails. For that we use Clonezilla which is free software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Macrium Reflect:

Macrium has a free version with fewer options, I recommend that before buying the professional use the trial Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Macrium Reflect solving and how is that benefiting you?

Thanks to Macrium I have been able to change the hard drives of the devices with SSD without having to format or waste time, just the time to open the device and replace one with the other. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
