Saves time in our deployments

For many years we were using Ghost for saving time in our deployments. Almost 15 year later this product is still on the way. Ease of use, faster and useful.

I mainly use it to create and deploy images using bootable disks and USB devices.

Love this solution for imaging machines quickly and easily. I mainly use it to create and deploy images using bootable disks and USB devices and it works very well for me. I know it has a lot more functionality but I haven't gotten in to that yet.

Excellent disk-imaging product for medium size organizations

Valuable Features:

1. It is easy to setup and use. 2. Backup and restores data in an easy and efficient way. 3. Backup data into a variety of different sources like CD, DVD, Network and Blu-ray disk. 4. We can restore the Hard Disk including OS with few clicks.

Room for Improvement:

1. it is a hectic job because it is not able to perform differential backup. 2. Large storage HDD takes to much time. 3. Data backup on DVDs failed entirely on Win (XP, Vista), as the process either could not be completed or written data was corrupted.

Room for Improvement:

Recovery CD is slow to boot and requires a minimum of 1GB RAM. Does not have the ability to create, format and delete partitions.Expensive compared to other disk imaging tools on the market.

Good consumer product. Easy backup solution.

Valuable Features:

This is a good deployment or backup solution. It does a good job at imaging your computer for backup. Basically the consumer version of backup exec. It is easy to use for people who don't want to pay for carbonite. Restores are easy.

Room for Improvement:

It doesn't offer scripting or drive-spanning. Sometimes admins like myself need advanced tools for the few users who use this solution for their mobile computers.

Other Advice:

Great for personal use. Great value. Easy to use and schedule backups. Remote restore is useful, but not always successful.
