Well in past years the getting a new renewal key for everything. But that did not happen this year. Just renewed flawless easy. Also I want to create generic usb boot sticks that are not licensed base. Just ask me for the license if needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very easy to setup for those with a small business with moderate networking in place (DNS, very helpful). Getting the agents setup was straightforward and my initial backups went without a hitch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Support for IPA would have been nice - requiring Active Directory left me without an option to join my domain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Is a set and forget solution. It just works. If you do your duties/baclups regularly Reflect will be ther when you need it. The support is algo great. To the point and reliable. Given said that I am not too much happy with the new licesing scheme that if you stop paying them then your software stop fully working. I'll gladly pay a yearly subscription only if Reflect deliver true new and innovative features yearly otherwise regretfully I'll have to search for alternatives as good as Refect.
