Avis clients sur Macrium Reflect Workstation

Reliable backup product, excellent support

Commentaires : so far I have no complaints or doubts

Avantages :

ease deployment fast and qualified support, meaning that issues were sorted out right away (in my case via dial in)

Inconvénients :

somewhat pricy very detailed log files, sometimes it may be hard to find the root cause

Macrium is the best option to backup!! we recovered data many times with this excellent tool

Commentaires : Many times users delete their own files or folders, so we recover them easy with this tool, avoiding them to do all the work again. For IT is good to stay relaxed, because there are backups running always.

Avantages :

This tool is easy to use, the deployment is easy, also the schedules to create the backup, just need to take your time to do this once, after that is not going to be a weekly or daily tool to use. Good time to recover or get information from backups created. Also works for databases in SQL.

Inconvénients :

No cons with it, it works great, maybe to stay more secured with the access have a second step sign in

Please tell me :What am I missing ?

Commentaires : Please see above. as an added addendum. After I cloned with the other software. I once again tried "Reflect". I received the same GD error code 9. I went with Reflect because I did a ton of research on it before I downloaded and installed. I mean.... a TON.
I'm baffled as to why Reflect fails and the others work.

Avantages :

Easy install, GUI was simple and easy to follow

Inconvénients :

As stated above the install and setup for cloning was easy, simple and quick. But that's as far as it went. I received an error 9 code. OK, no big deal, Right ?!? Well.... I tried every fix and troubleshooting technique. Nothing worked. Spent nearly 2 days-researching, reading , watching every possible scenario that would cause this particular error. Used every method to attempt to remediate my situation. I even used a 3rd party software(pro version). No errors could be found on the drive....yet I kept getting an error 9. So......What am I missing ? here's the kicker guys........... I finally gave up and tried a different cloning software. And guess what........ It went without a hitch. Cloned on the first attempt. So.... I ask again..... What am I missing here ?

Trust but verify....

Commentaires : Schedule something to verify it's still doing its job.

Avantages :

Restore policy on unlicensed installation. Works well.

Inconvénients :

It doesn't give notice when it stops doing backups because Windows says it's now on a different machine.

Macrium Reflect gives me Peace of Mind

Commentaires : It has saved my life so many times. I have two hard drives that each get Images of my C:Drive. Every other day it goes to a different drive. That way, I have an Image from every day and if a drive fails, I'm never more than one day out of date. When Windows or a program goes wonky, I don't waste much time diagnosing, I just reimage my C:Drive and within about 20-minutes I'm running perfectly again.

Avantages :

The software is easy to use and is clear and intuitive if you have a little bit of computer knowledge. Anything that's confusing is easily Googled. It's just easy to get going with this program.

Inconvénients :

I can't think of any, honestly. It's just really useful and really designed.

Macrium Review

Commentaires : Great software. Meets a big need in day to day break fix business

Avantages :

Its FREE. Great imaging software. Can copy disk to disk or create an image to be restored or mounted later.

Inconvénients :

Have yet to run into any issues with macrium and it is free so cannot complain

Popular backup and disk imaging software for Windows-based systems

Commentaires : Only positive emotions! The system has never let me down and I have never had any compatibility issues with this software

Avantages :

Fast imaging with ease of use. It provides options for creating bootable rescue media (USB or DVD) that can be used to restore your system in case it becomes unbootable.

Inconvénients :

At the end of 2023, support for the free version of Macrium Reflect will end. It's a shame because it was one of the best solutions for home users!

The best Hard Drive cloning software out there.

Avantages :

The amount of use I have gotten out of this software is astounding. First of all, the free version works wonders. The paid versions works even better. Doesn't let you complete a clone unless it knows it's going to fully work. I am impressed by Macrium, and every technician in our shop trusts this software for clones and copies of HDD's.

Inconvénients :

The updates are tedious and notifications can get annoying, but that's a small price to pay for how incredible this software is.

Easy Backups, Clones and Restores!

Commentaires : Multi Use Case, Affordable (Free version available too!), and reliable. Cannot recommend enough.

Avantages :

Macrium allows us to clone and restore drives very easily. Our use case was in backing up user and employee data or configurations when a drive was failing or a reinstall was necessary. It performs fast, and is flexible in how you intend to backup and clone. Every use case we have stumbled across has been able to be solved with Macrium. When you consider the price, Macrium shines even more. So affordable and feature rich compared to other options.

Inconvénients :

Like any software, there is a learning curve, but the internet has plenty of tutorials and such on how to use it. Spend a few minutes learning about it and you'll be a master in no time!

good imaging software

Avantages :

Really good imaging and backup products easy to use

Inconvénients :

stop the free version, need to buy license

Macrium Reflect lets me sleep at night

Commentaires : We use Macrium Reflect to ensure all of our servers are full imaged daily (some servers are imaged multiple times per day) for disaster recovery purposes. We also utilize it on a good percentage of our workstations for similar disaster recovery reasons. It has never let us down. We've fully recovered multiple servers from hardware failure (such as failed/corrupted RAID arrays) using the Reflect image. It's truly a life saver.

Avantages :

We utilize Macrium Reflect on all of the servers we administer and many of the workstations as well. We've used Macrium Reflect for many years and have full faith and trust that it is continually making full image backups of our servers. It has never let us down. We've quickly and easily restored entire servers from hardware failures using the Reflect image. We appreciate the email and log notifications it provides and the very clear and straightforward setup and configuration. Tech support is also very responsive and helpful (for the few times we've needed support). It is, truly, one of the most important and valuable tools in our tool bag.

Inconvénients :

We've used Macrium Reflect for many years. Everything we've ever wished was there has been added. There is nothing, currently, I can think of that I wish it could do or that could be easier.

Miglior programma per cloni e immagini

Commentaires : Inizialmente usato solo per cloni, poi anche come sistema di backup immagini sistema etc. Ha sostituito altri programmi più famosi ma molto più scomodi.

Avantages :

La parte gratuita, quella a pagamento costa poco per tutti i servizi che offre il programma.Il sistema di clone disco è la migliore in assoluto.

Inconvénients :

Non ho trovato niente nel software che possa non piacere.

Saved My Laptop

Commentaires : The one time I needed it, it worked and paid for itself many times over.

Avantages :

We have used Macrium Reflect for years. With 2 online backup systems I wondered whether it is was still worthwhile. Three months ago my Win10 laptop decided to totally destroy itself. I tried Windows Restore but that didn't work. Fortunately, I had run a full backup the night before and with a bit of help from a friendly techie, it was reasonably straight forward restore - and as if by magic everything worked again. That was a huge win because otherwise, we would need to have wiped the machine and done a clean Windows restore and then load all my software. For security reasons we manually connect and run our backups on external drives. This process is against my preference for automated systems. However, it worked seamlessly, did exactly what it was supposed to do and I was both impressed and relieved.

Inconvénients :

It is a bit fiddly when you do the initial set up and there are plenty of features that I don't understand what they are for.

Ottimo per backup e clonazioni

Commentaires : Mi trovo a meraviglia per l'affidabilità e i costi...anche la versione free è eccellente

Avantages :

Molto facile da utilizzare, il backup a caldo dell'intera macchina funziona a meravigli e il costo è contenuto rispetto ad altri competitor più quotati.

Inconvénients :

A volte ci sono inconvenienti sul backup di macchine virtuali

Macrium Reflect - small enterprise

Commentaires : I have purchased several licenses for Macrium Reflect Workstation, one for my personal use and two more for our organization. I have had excellent success with Macrium Reflect and would very much recommend this application.

Avantages :

Macrium Reflect has proven to be an extremely cost effective means for creating and managing computer system images. The ability to quickly download a stored image to a system or to a blank hard drive or solid state drive has reduced the turn around time for reimaging computers to no more than the amount of time it takes to swap out the hard drive. We do keep spare, fully imaged drives on the shelf for each of the models of computer that we have in the enterprise. Once an image has been created and stored on our image server, we can image a 500GB SSD in less than 3 minutes. Traditional hard disk drives can be imaged in about 12 minutes. The application is extremely easy to use and the interface is intuitive enough for novice users.

Inconvénients :

I would like for the business and workstation versions to be able to image multiple drives simultaneously. This feature appears to be available only with the Deployment Kit, which has a price of $3250 per license.

One of the best backup softwares that I have ever used

Commentaires : Easy configuration, easy and quick Restore options. I am able to restore either from bare metal or mount the backup and restore individual files.

Avantages :

What I like best about Macrium is the feeling of security that it gives. It's extremely easy to install and configure and once it's done, your backups can run on a schedule or manually. After it's backed up, you can go from bare metal to back to within working order in a matter of a couple hours rather than spending days restoring. It also has ransomware protection built in, so if you ever need to restore due to ransomware, your backups will be safe.

Inconvénients :

Their Exchange Server restore isn't the best. It restores mailboxes one item at a time and doesn't have the option to do it all in one. If the Exchange restore fails (as has happened to me on occasion), you have too start from scratch and there's no easy way of picking up where it left off. Their phone support is also only used to create a ticket. There doesn't seem to be any real-time phone support.

This is NOT really a consumer, home user product

Commentaires : Never once successfully restored a bootable Windows 10 disk image, and I'm tired of spending hours and hours and hours trying to figure out why. But it's obvious from the support forums that I simply don't know NEARLY enough (and I've been using computers of every kind since the 1970s) to even ask a useful question.

Avantages :

Apparently, IT professionals and computer geeks get a LOT of use out of this app. But as a home PC user, I have found that if you aren't a Windows EXPERT, it's easier to just reinstall Windows and reinstall your software, and just back up your files on an external drive of some kind. I have never actually been able to successfully restore a bootable backup of my PC. The days and days of researching the technical details I don't know anything about just to ask a support question simply aren't worth it.

Inconvénients :

It is NOT "user" friendly. The tech support is really for IT pros. If you're not an EXPERT (and I know quite a bit) on Windows, BIOS, etc, then this is probably not the app for you.

Macrium Reflect keeps my personal and business systems safe and secure 24/7/365

Commentaires : Macrium Reflect keeps all my personal systems at home safe and secure with nightly critical file backups plus weekly and monthly incremental system image backups. I do the same with my business systems, plus I add-in server and SQL server backups using the server editions to keep my business data safe too. The pricing is very affordable, even for the server versions, especially given the amount of features they have and how easy and reliable their program is.

Avantages :

Affordable, very easy to use, constantly updated, support for every file system and operating system available, support for all backup and image techniques from simple file/folder to image, incremental, differential, to SQL and more. I guess my favorite part is that you can go from quick setup to creating an emergency boot disc/flash drive and running a full backup on the system in less than 10 minutes.

Inconvénients :

It needs a face lift I guess, and they could stand to offer some cloud options for storing portions or entire images in the cloud.

Macrium Reflect, a requirement for any PC User

Commentaires : I have deployed Macrium free and for-fee products at most of our clients and have no bad things to say. It has all the features we need, is easy to install and just works. It backs up, restores and even images drives. I have used it at businesses, both large and small and on friends' and relatives' PCs.

Avantages :

It installs easily, can be used for free and just works.

Inconvénients :

Minimal downsides, it seems to do everything we need as well as necessary.

Macrium Reflect Home User Review

Commentaires : My overall experience has been very positive, as the backup tool is easy to use and intuitive, and provides peace of mind. The cloning feature needs work, especially when dealing with boot / recovery partitions specifically, but otherwise for a free program Macrium Reflect is fantastic.

Avantages :

The most useful feature of this software is without question its cloning / backup ability. I've used it over 4 times to clone HDD's to SSD's- to keep from having to transfer everything manually and reinstall Windows. I've also used it to keep backups, which it has a genius way of doing. You choose the folders you want to back up, and the program will compress all of them into a single file which can be moved as you want. When you want to extract your files from the backup, you open the file and Macrium will mount it as removable storage, allowing you to move individual items as if it were a flash drive.

Inconvénients :

Sometimes, the software will not correctly clone the boot partitions correctly, leading to a failure of Windows to boot after cloning a hard drive to an SSD. It is easy to fix, but still annoying.

Outstanding PC backup

Commentaires : Having reliable image-level backups is crucial to our business. When a machine goes down or is replaced, this makes it super easy to re-image onto new hardware. We also use it for customer machines. If we need to clone someone's PC for troubleshooting, we can easily do this with Macrium.

Avantages :

We use Macrium Reflect to perform regular backups on all our desktops. Very, very reliable. Excellent compression and deduplication capabilities.

Inconvénients :

Its only flaw is lack of support for cloud services like Amazon S3 or Azure Blob storage. Not very good for offsite backups.

Finally found the best backup

Commentaires : I have several computers in different locations (all mine) for which I want to have backups and images for bare metal recovery. I have found that selecting files to restore is super-simple. I like the way the product mounts the image as another drive and lets you find the files you want so easily.

Avantages :

It is easy to use, reliable and even the free option provides enormous benefit. After several other apps, this is the one that really works.

Inconvénients :

Hard to think of anything negative. It works perfectly, is simple to use, etc. What's not to like?

Effective and Reliable backups

Commentaires : Macrium Reflect has been a reliable backup solution for my system. It wasn't the least nor the most expensive, but cost was not a major factor for my decision making.
Ease of use and reliability were the most imporant for me and it checks those boxes.

Avantages :

It was pretty easy to create the backup jobs. Selecting drives/partitions or folders is straight-forward and exclusions are easily defined. It's easy to mount an image and selectively restore files.

Inconvénients :

Scheduler needs work. I wanted to have weekly full and daily incrimental and ended up having to create two different backup jobs to accomplish this.

Keep it simpel

Commentaires : Macrium Reflect is easily licensed and uses Windows standards like VSS. After installation (about 10 min) the system is ready to use and can create a backup. It is also possible to restore hardware independent data.

Avantages :

very easy to install and use. It comes in the Enterprise version with Sitemanager to coordinate the entire installation of Macrium in your company.

Inconvénients :

Only on Windows base, do support for Linux!

Great to image your system

Commentaires : I was trying to create images of the laptops we have at work. I do use it for the free version to just have an image of the best working state of the laptop.

Avantages :

I liked the ease of use to fully image my system in case of a failure. It does have password protection which is good if you are storing and image of your disk elsewhere for backup. I liked the fact that I can easily set up schedules to backup my image on a daily basis without having me to think about it. Loading the image back from a restore is also a breeze once set up properly. For me, it worked for windows 7-10 with no issues.

Inconvénients :

Freeware did not do incremental backups. You would need to pay to get that. It's a bit complicated to do file backup or file syncing. I guess this is more of an image restore than anything else. I did find it a bit difficult to set up. Also the file was quite large for the initial download.
