Administrator Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "I recommend Macrium with a clear conscience" January 25, 2025 5.0 I use Macrium since a few years and did not have any trouble. Pros I like the reliability and the speed of the system. Cons The software is easy to use and allows for easy recovery. Review Source CR Cal R. CEO, Music Producer, Recording Engineer, Recording Artist Music Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Macrium Reflect: Excellent for Music Professionals" December 9, 2024 5.0 Marcum Reflect always works when I create a backup image of over 3 Terabytes of my music studio laptop for my business. Macrium Reflect X is able to do this in a little over 1 hour to my external SSD. This can be done even quicker using faster drives. Macrium Reflect gives me the peace of mind I need in case my Laptop ever ceases to function. I can rely on the fact that I can always restore my image to different to a different machine using the bare metal restore feature. This saves a ton of time having to reinstall over 3 Terabytes of music creation software & sounds, as well as having to reconfiguring everything. With Reflect I can rest assured I will always be able to re-open project files as the system will remain exactly the same if restore is ever necessary. Reflect is probable the most important software that I use to ensure my business will always remain in operation as long as I have my data in-tact. I recommend Reflect to anyone that needs their data safe. Pros It includes a bare metal restore image feature. Cons The UI design, but I understand the minimal approach for better performance. Alternatives considered [Acronis True Image](https://www.capterra.com/p/234347/Acronis-True-Image/) Reason for choosing Macrium Reflect Workstation Bare Metal Restore. I like how it is explicitly stated bare metal restore is a feature of reflect. Review Source DL Dieter L.

Review Source MD Myles D. managing owner Hospitality Used the software for: 2+ years ### "trust but verify" December 9, 2024 5.0 I think that an exercise that would verify access to backed up data would make your customers more comfortable with the product. Without this a client can only hope that data will be recoverable when needed. Pros see below Review Source BH Brian H. Electrical Engineer IV Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Macrium Reflect Workstation Review" December 9, 2024 5.0 Excellent. Have used Acronis and Veritas System Recovery.

Pros It's backup speed and the ability to fine-tune backups. Cons Nothing much but, initially, it has a steep learning curve. I can't really say that's a Con though!

Field Technician IV Logistics and Supply Chain Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Technician backup solution " December 9, 2024 5.0 It’s been great. My needs are simple. I don’t use it for enterprise-wide backups, deployments etc. I just need it to clone the hard drives of company equipment running Linux and occasionally backup my laptop. Runs great and is easy to use. I’ve convinced others on my team to use Macrium as well. Pros Ease of use without having to learn a complicated clone program with a zillion options only an expert would understand. Cons No cons at all! Review Source MP Manuel P. Team Lead - IT Servicedesk Hospitality Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Tool for anyone working in IT Field" December 9, 2024 5.0 If you work in IT this software set is gonna provide you with everything you need to restore/backup & support user devices. I also use it personally and I am very happy with it. Pros Using the rescue medium to quickly make a copy of the existing partition and restore it on another device is very easy to work with. Cons The interface could need a little facelift. Review Source BS Byron S. Owner Computer Networking Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best in Class." December 9, 2024 5.0 I use it often, it works great and does a fantastic job. Pros Ease of use. Very straight forward interface. Cons I can't think of much. It does exactly what I need for cloning hard drives and I have no complaints. Alternatives considered [Acronis True Image](https://www.capterra.com/p/234347/Acronis-True-Image/) Reason for choosing Macrium Reflect Workstation Acronis has a weird interface, it's as if they got a bunch of woke college kids to program their latest versions. Review Source jP john P. owner Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "it gets the job done" December 9, 2024 5.0 It helped me quickly move on from a crash.

December 9, 2024 5.0 It does what it is needs to do in a fast and reliable way. Pros Easy of use and powerful tools that save my organization time and money. Cons Its notifications persist even after I uninstall it from a system and move the license to another. Fixed manually, but the uninstaller didn't remove all components of the software automatically.

INGENIERO TELECOMUNICACIONES Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "INGENIERO TELECOMUNICACIONES" December 11, 2024 5.0 PUDE IMPLEMENTAR LOS RESPALDOS EN LOS EQUIPOS CRITICOS Y TODO SALIO BIEN Pros LA FACILIDAD DE INSTALAR , literatura de facil comprension Cons CASI NADA, todo salio bien , fue muy raoido Review Source RV Reynaldo V. IT Network Specialist Automotive Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Macrium is the best option to backup!! we recovered data many times with this excellent tool" February 20, 2023 5.0 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. Pros 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. Cons No cons with it, it works great, maybe to stay more secured with the access have a second step sign in Alternatives considered [EaseUS Todo Backup](https://www.capterra.com/p/171039/EaseUS-Todo-Backup/) Reason for choosing Macrium Reflect Workstation We look for a tool for computers, after using easeus and finish the trial version we found Macrium Reflect, and for their features and compatibility with servers, we decide for this one. Review Source Rob H. Owner Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Macrium Reflect gives me Peace of Mind" September 28, 2021 5.0 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. Pros 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. Cons I can't think of any, honestly. It's just really useful and really designed. Reason for choosing Macrium Reflect Workstation I did read users comments about it when I first found it and I read what they said about programs they had switched from. One of them was the program I had used that caused problems. There were enough horror stories about competitive programs and none about MR, so I bought it. I've never regretted it. The only time MR fails is when the user forgets to make the backups that they are going to need. Review Source AF Alessandro F. Programmatore Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Miglior programma per cloni e immagini" January 9, 2023 5.0 Inizialmente usato solo per cloni, poi anche come sistema di backup immagini sistema etc. Ha sostituito altri programmi più famosi ma molto più scomodi. Pros 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. Cons Non ho trovato niente nel software che possa non piacere. Alternatives considered [Acronis True Image](https://www.capterra.com/p/234347/Acronis-True-Image/) Reason for choosing Macrium Reflect Workstation Semplicità di utilizzo e velocità. Switched from [Acronis True Image](https://www.capterra.com/p/234347/Acronis-True-Image/) Perché Acronis costa troppo ed è molto invasivo per il sistema. Review Source JA Javier A. Ingeniero de Soporte TI Retail Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Reseña de Macrium" October 19, 2023 5.0 Software bastante bueno e intuitivo para realizar copias de seguridad incrementales y para recuperacion de información Pros En general es un producto bastante bueno, sobre todo para hacer copias de seguridad a Servidores, en nuestro caso al utilizarlo en una agencia automotriz, es de suma importancia mantener copias de seguridad periodicas de la información de la empresa.los costos de licencia pueden ser un poco altos si se utiliza el plan unico, pero es preferible hacer esa compra y mantener tu información a salvo en caso de alguna falla grave en tus servidores, a diferencia de no tener ningun software de respaldo y correr el peligro de perder la información. Cons Podria considerar solo el precio del plan unico Reason for choosing Macrium Reflect Workstation facilidad de instalación, otros programas no podian ejecutarse solo porque el equipo era un servidor, en este caso macrium funcionó perfectamente en dicho equipo, su instalación fue fácil y el proceso de backup de la información fue rápido Review Source Steven C. IT Support Technician Primary/Secondary Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Macrium Reflect - small enterprise" May 12, 2020 5.0 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. Pros 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. Cons 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. Review Source DG David G. President Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Saved My Laptop" December 6, 2019 5.0 The one time I needed it, it worked and paid for itself many times over. Pros 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. Cons 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. Reason for choosing Macrium Reflect Workstation It was recommended to me. Review Source GM Gianni M. IT manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Ottimo per backup e clonazioni" November 11, 2022 5.0 Mi trovo a meraviglia per l'affidabilità e i costi...anche la versione free è eccellente Pros 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. Cons A volte ci sono inconvenienti sul backup di macchine virtuali Alternatives considered [Acronis True Image](https://www.capterra.com/p/234347/Acronis-True-Image/) Reason for choosing Macrium Reflect Workstation Per il rapporto qualità/prezzo Review Source Alaister L. System Administrator Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Best free disk backup and cloning software" July 15, 2022 5.0 It has saved us a lot of time on data backup and OS/programs reinstallation. We no longer have to worry about data loss. Switching and upgrading old drives to new ones are also more convenient. Pros The disk backup and cloning process is fast and automated. It does not impact the performance very much, allowing us to use our PC normally during the backup process. It can clone Windows and Linux installations from our existing machines to the new ones, so we don't have to reinstall them on every new PC or server. Cons Everything is excellent, except cross-platform compatibility. On Linux, only offline disk backup is possible.
