Strengths: - Powerful imaging and backup features, without hidden extra costs - GPT support (supports 3TB+ discs) - Windows PE Rescue environment/boot menu - Stable and reliable, with low system resource usage Weaknesses: - While the GUI looks professional, it is only designed for power users. Setting up file backups/scheduled tasks is more complicated than it has to. Conclusion: After spending days evaluating various backup and drive imaging software, I settled with Macrium Reflect Pro v5. It is the most complete software that is affordable for a user with a Home Network. The problem is that when it comes to backup/imaging software, the "home/personal" versions are usually too restricted. And the "business/enterprise" versions are on the other hand too complicated and expensive. A perfect example of this is the Acronis product line, "True Image 2012 Home" is too restricted and "Backup & Recovery 11 Advanced Workstation" while great is too expensive for a home user. This is where Macrium Reflect v5 pro beats the competition. You don't have to compromise with the features, because they sell the personal license cheap. A Household 4 pack license of Macrium Reflect costs $90, to match the feature set an equivalent Acronis solution is $436. So in other words, I highly recommend Macrium Reflect for power users.
