We have a system set up that when we plug in a new machine, we navigate to map-able drive and within one click it's blasting on our ghosted image. Very convenient and quick. > > **Cons**: Not as user friendly as it can be, but it's pretty understandable given the boot environment we typically use it in. ----- ### "Ghost software" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *3 December 2019* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like most about this software is that it works on all computers both old (Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8) and new (Windows 10). The very basics of capturing an NTFS image just haven't changes over the years so that this software still does very well what it was designed to do (in terms of basic capturing of an image and re-deploying that image to a hard drive that is an identical model). > > **Cons**: What I like least about this software is just the lack of support if/when needed. If there is a problem, the best help resource available is online articles. But, it is next to impossible to get anyone on the phone who will provide specific assistance. Fortunately, the software is so straight-forward, that I have rarely needed support. > > I have used the Ghost software for only the basics. I used the main software to create the boot discs or USB drives needed to boot a machine and auto-start the Ghost software. Once a computer is booted into Ghost, an complete image of the hard drive may be captured (by volume, by drive, can be spanned over multiple media devices if needed, etc). I often use Ghost to simply verify the integrity of a hard drive. When you boot into the ghost software, you can do a "disk check" which basically verifies that an image may be accurately acquired. If an image may be acquired, this tells me that the health of the hard drive is reasonable stable. Ghost software does far more than just this, but this is the primary function that I use it for. ----- ### "SEP" — 3.0/5 > **Jeff** | *23 February 2021* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Great way to quickly prep out of box systems for company deployment, loaded with all of the software required. A big time time saver. > > **Cons**: The updated version was difficult to use. Imaging multiple systems simultaneously degraded network performance > > I liked it while using it, but we no longer utilize it. ----- ### "Best cloning software" — 5.0/5 > **Dave** | *23 June 2022* | Computer Hardware | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I find the speed of cloning and the accuracy is excellent > > **Cons**: Updates ..you have to go look for them. Sometimes the updates dont install correctly but tech help is very easy to reach > > I have been using ghost for most of my career ..A+++ ----- ### "Symantec Ghost solution solutions never end" — 5.0/5 > **ZIYA** | *19 December 2019* | Information Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The best image application for unicast or multicast. > > **Cons**: Some concepts may be difficult for beginner users. > > If you work in the Support department of the IT department, installing this operating system on the machine is problematic and no one can handle it quickly. But thanks to this application you can easily realize everything you dream, you can serialize the operating system to set up. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/301339/symantec-ghost-solution-suite?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/301339/symantec-ghost-solution-suite) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
