Macrium Reflect Review

PROS: I like that the software is effective and easy to use at the same time. Cloning my hard drive to install SSD was smooth -- everything in perfect working condition. Whenever my friends ask what I use when swapping hard drives, I tell them to use Macrium Reflect.

CONS: None at all. There was a lag during the process, but the files were so big, it makes sense. Macrium does the job for me.

PROS: I like that Macrium packs so much power in a light and user-friendly unit. There are helpful features that are also available on the trial version, so you can be sure it is what you want. This includes being able to capture a photo of the virtual machine and then being able to apply it to the physical version.

CONS: It would be great if some of the hard drives won't disappear its photo is taken from a virtual machine then gets deployed to Dell laptops. Other than that I have no dislikes about Macrium because it does exactly what I want.

PROS: I like that Macrium Reflect makes it so easy to learn how to use it, using its online tutorials and guides. Once you get the hang of Macrium, you'll find that it loads quickly. It also enables you to clone HDD into a user-friendly SSD without the risk of losing any of your files.

CONS: I haven't found anything to dislike about Macrium Reflect because I can already do a lot of what I need to do even with just a free version.

PROS: Macrium Reflect works well for what I need at work: being able to clone disks, even when it's to a new SSD from an old HDD in some instances.

CONS: Being able to clone all types of disks will be helpful. At the moment, sometimes it doesn't work for some disks, so it would be great if that can be fixed.

PROS: Macrium Reflect's backup maintenance is good, as well as its restoration function.

CONS: Being made more simple for those using it for the first time would help a lot, along with making sure that it doesn't take too much space on the CPU.

PROS: It's the simplest way to clone your hard drives without the fuss. You can set up more than 40 work tables quickly. You can even try the free version without the extra features so you can see for yourself.

CONS: It would be great if the system would not crash midway because of issues like some elements not matching.

PROS: I like that I didn't encounter any problems after downloading it. I was able to use it right after installing it because it's so easy to set up and navigate through.

CONS: None at the moment.

PROS: Macrium Reflect makes it so easy for me to move PC users from their old units to their new ones. Macrium can restore images to hardware that is not similar to each other. Managing data integrity is guaranteed because of the ability to back up active SQL databases that help temper related uncertainties.

CONS: It would just be great if my inquiries and concerns are addressed a lot more quickly, but I also understand Macrium might not have a 24-hour customer service.

PROS: Macrium Reflect's UI is so easy because it features several automated functionalities. Anyone will be able to figure it out easily. Macrium can detect drives that connect automatically and will show the difference between external and internal hard drives. It's able to clone all files seamlessly and without fail, including all kinds of partitions and MBR.

CONS: It would be great if we're able to create partitions that we need, instead of doing it from another software because there are instances where we need to manage partitions we didn't see before because its source is from corrupted hard drives, or when it was formatted in different versions of either Mac, Windows or Unix.

PROS: I like being able to easily and quickly perform cloning and back up tasks, browse images that we've duplicated safely, and convert them into virtual hard drives, so they can be run as virtual machines.

CONS: It would be helpful if we're also able to clone a drive that's either full, or about to expire, and being able to find out how we can sort a few simple errors with the support team.

PROS: Macrium's imaging tool is convenient to use because it offers to compress and edit hard drives. It features several options to back up files, creating very little impact without any risks on cost when it comes to disaster recovery situations.

CONS: It would be great to have standalone options for installations on the target device and source, instead of having to install both all the time.

PROS: What I like best about Macrium Reflect is how user-friendly the software is.

CONS: I wish it didn't have to require payment to make full use of its functions, but there's a 30-day trial that gives you access to the essentials you need to be done.

PROS: I like that Macrium allows me to create a disk image and compress it into a smaller size. Having to verify that system files are occupying less will need to be confirmed.

CONS: It would be even better if we didn't have to use a third-party app to clone disks more effectively.

PROS: I like that our hard drives are securely backed up and stored.

CONS: It would be great to be able to upload to the cloud automatically to save time on manually processing back up photos.
