Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have to sadly agree with many of the negative reviews. But I'm including thie review not to be negative, but to relate what I've found that you CAN and CAN'T do with this product. (1) As others have said, this isn't going to work with a network. And I guess if I wanted to directly burn CDs then I'd need a DOS device driver (good luck finding that for a Sony DVD+RW), so I'm glad I'm not doing that either. Fortunately for me, I'm working with a test machine that I deliberately configured with an extra hard drive just so I had a local place to Ghost back and forth with. (2) While Ghost does a fine and fast job shuttling entire-drive clones from drive to drive, it has this incredibly annoying habit: every time that I want to move an image drive/drive then it demands that I punch in the 15 character serial number. Sheesh! (3) This is a nit, but I found it annoying that on the one hand this is a for-the-home-user, reduced-functionality version of Ghost... but I still had to type in an organization name, or it wouldn't install. (4) I only need this to reset a single test machine, but I'd complain if I had other systems and was forced to buy a separate copy of this infrequently-used utility for each one. Were the license a bit more reasonable -- "go ahead and use it for all of the computers in your house" -- then I think Symantec would win the hearts -- and business -- of other small users.
