What do you like best about Macrium Reflect?

I love the software's ability to restore images to dissimilar hardware. It's made moving users from one PC to the next a breeze! The site manager console sends me an email everyday listing all of my backup jobs and success/failures. Their Server Plus version backs up active SQL databases which helps alleviate some of the stress on management about data integrity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Macrium Reflect?

There isn't much to dislike here. I wish the company was US-based so I could get responses to trouble tickets a little more quickly. If you're emailing with support, it may be 24 hours before a response is sent from their support team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Macrium Reflect:

I can't speak highly enough about this product. I have used this product in both a Managed Service environment and as in-house support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Data integrity. It allows me to backup in multiple locations using both full and incremental backups. I also do a separate SQL backup and a "file and folder" backup that copies all of the folder security with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Macrium Reflect?

I love that Macrium Reflect has a simple to use interface with tons of automated processes. You do not have to be a wizard to figure this out, actually...anyone could. The software will auto-detect connected drives and display them in a logical format for simple understanding of internal drives vs. external drives. The cloning process is amazing and never had a fault with it. It will clone everything properly, all partitions, recovery partitions even, MBR, everything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Macrium Reflect?

There are limitations with managing unseen partitions, particularly when the external drive was formatted as an "On-the-go" version of Windows, formatted on a Mac/Unix or other, or a corrupted drive that has no existing partition. In this case you must use another software to first recover or create a partition on the drive. It just would make sense to include something like this in the software to avoid needing another software to create the partition first. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Macrium Reflect:

Try it, you will love the simplicity to the software and how robust it is. The amount of management you can do with Macrium Reflect, scheduling, restoring, cloning, etc., is remarkable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Computers with HDD's are slow and should not exist, everyone should have updated to an SSD by now. Especially the boot drive. My purpose primarily was upgrading our existing systems without having to fully configure everything from scratch. Obviously, a clone process is the right choice here. With Samsung SSD's, they ship the cloning software with it, but with other drives they do not. Therefore you are on your own to find the cloning software. After using MANY alternative options for testing and reviewing purposes, the conclusion was simple - I will use only 1 software for any SSD that is not Samsung...that is to use Macrium Reflect.

What do you like best about Macrium Reflect?

Macrium is very powerful, light weight , easy to use. You can capture a virtual machine image and then deploy it to physical machine, and all of these features are available on the trial version! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Macrium Reflect?

When capturing an image from a VM and deploying to a dell laptop some of the drivers literally just disappears and this seems to be a known issue as everyone I have told about it has stated this issue. I really don't have many issues with Macrium, I does what it is supposed to do plus a whole lot more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Macrium Reflect:

If you need a simple imaging solution for any size business or just to back up ypur pc at home get Macrium it will fit all those needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Macrium saved my company during a critical trasnsition by stepping into Sccm's shoesand to be quite honest I had a machine up and running in 15 minutes, vs 45-60 with SCCM. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Macrium Reflect?

The product is extremely easy to use, and it is fast. There are multiple options for imaging a drive, including full images, incremental and differential images. Drive cloning can be done to smaller drives by easily decreasing a partition size (assuming there is room on the original drive) and larger drives be increasing the partition size. Both cloning and imaging support both MBR and GPT partitions. Clones are bootable. Cloning and imaging tasks can be scheduled, The paid version allows for deploying an existing system onto new hardware. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Macrium Reflect?

It’s only available for windows systems. Does not handle drives with I/O errors at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Macrium Reflect:

As far as cloning and imaging utilities go, this one is top notch. The free version is feature rich enough that it will work for the vast majority of people. The paid version is very well priced and introduces some very useful features, such as incremental clones and images and new hardware redeployment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Easy bootable backups of mission critical devices. Imaging and deploying multiple identical systems. Being able to redeploy a system on new hardware. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
