A reliable backup product which needs little management
For most technical users the setup and initial deployment are fairly straightforward and once deployed it 99% of the time looks after itself. Installation of the agents is similar to most other products in that it has an install wizard to guide you, the accompanying documentation is also very useful to assist wherever you are in the agent install and policy setup process. Normally our customers' IT team does the deployment of agents, however, this isn't a daunting task unless you are dealing with multiple servers to protect the product. On a server-by-server basis, the deployment doesn't take long. From the MSP side of things, the infrastructure sitting behind the scenes doesn't take too much to install, configure and maintain.

Empowers seamless system migration and ensures efficient data backup
Overall, I find Macrium Reflect Workstation very user-friendly compared to any other solutions I have used before, such as Symantec and Acronis. It is very helpful in terms of migration from one platform to another, making it my product of choice. The software is also intuitive and easy to use for both beginners and seasoned professionals.
