Pros
Its easy to use
Allows you to back and clone drives with one click
Highly responsive support team
Cons
Downloading the software requires a bit of back and forth checking emails and then getting the link which if your network was acting up like mine was doing at the time, I almost thought it was no longer available to download.

Pretty Essential for Managing & Maintaining Your PCs

I regard it as an essential element of running & maintaining several PCs. It is much better than the prior backup provider (Nova), and serves the entire PC - Windows included - where data-oriented backups (e.g. OneDrive, Google, Norton) don't cut it.
Pros
It is a pretty rock-solid backup platform that covers you with file-level, disk-level and pre-boot backup & restoration. It has saved me quite a number of times from difficult situations.
For example, I have a couple of programs (including Macrium) that occasionally lose their key settings files on one of my computers. If I can't restore in a simpler way, I can restore the last good copy from a backup with a minimum of fuss, seeing & even opening the file(s) in question before restore.
Macrium is also very useful in preparing a new HDD/SSD for use by copying whole disks or partitions.
Lastly, there is occasional crapware that does something to my system that I can't figure out. Typically, the easiest solution is to simply restore from a backup a day, a week or sometimes a month prior. Viola! Problem solved.
Cons
Their new X version is a subscription based service that is now expensive. I prefer to buy my software.
Getting thru to support is often a futile effort. Support has its own site, but their system doesn't recognize my credentials and I never received the reset key. Emails to their sales department about the issue are just ignored. At the moment, I can't obtain the support I paid for.
In the past, when I was in contact with support, they would too often deny the reality of the issue I faced (and still face) such as the settings files disappearing.

For future reference, you can obtain support without going through the system by emailing [email protected]. This will create a ticket for you. Failing that, my personal email is attached to this review.
Also, we do offer a perpetual version for business through our LTSC licensing program, this is ideal for customers who purchase larger or regular volumes need a one-time license, security critical updates only, and option of a 3 or 5 year support package.

If you offer a “Free Trial” to entice a potential buyer to purchase your product, it would be prudent to offer support if the potential buyer has a problem. It’s like a car dealer offering a test drive of a new car, but ignoring you if the car breaks down.
I will not be buying the software, and I’ll post negative reviews for a less than satisfactory experience.
Pros
It was easy to setup and set up an image backup
Cons
I couldn’t get restore to work. When I requested assistance they responded that there was no support for the free trial and directed me to their knowledge base. I couldn’t find a resolution to my problem there.
Response from Paramount Software
Larry,
I'm really disappointed that you got this response. We all know that 100% of people who can't get a trial to work don't buy the product, so we *do* support free trials and I'd encourage anyone who is told otherwise to contact us. NB: To be clear, we don't support users of our former free product, which has been discontinued - a free trial is supported.

Overall, I am very satisfied with Reflect. Since I also use the site manager, managing my computers is easy and very reliable. On top of that, I'm glad that the software doesn't require a cloud. I want to be able to save my backups locally without any cloud constraints. This works very well with Reflect (also with the SiteManager).
Pros
The software is very reliable and has never let me down.
Cons
The Windows PE environment is not so easy to understand for beginners and is somewhat confusing. It would be desirable to simplify the user interface (Acronis is better in this respect).

Very good. For our money, the best on the market. Priced very reasonable and competitive. Wouldnt recommend it to casual users - simply to complicated to use.
Pros
does what it says, seems reliable and stable, have used it for business critical restores succesfully. Flexibel, overall the best solution we have tested and implemented.
Cons
Confusing interface, things not organized intuitively, you really have to use it regularly to remember how to do stuff.
The warning about purging before a backup is not secure enough, Its way to easy to accidentially do an unintended purge, that needs to be made more secure.
