Clonezilla live

Overall Satisfaction with Clonezilla

We have a requirement to image a very large number of systems (both laptops and desktops) which cover many different hardware brands, specifications, operating systems, etc. CloneZIlla allows us to image many different systems at the same time, at a very affordable (free!) cost.

We are also able to build out image sets and push them to other locations to assist with provisioning systems in different areas and states.
  • The ability to quickly setup imaging servers to rapidly increase the number of systems imaged.
  • Handling large numbers of device imaging off a single live server instance
  • Ability to run the server side of things on low end hardware
  • The interface is not easy to navigate or understand by non technical staff
  • Many many key presses before an actual image starts processing
  • Does not feel "clean" - in that it feels very batch driven rather than having a more simpler way of managing the process end to end.
  • CloneZilla provides us a very cheap solution for imaging of systems in our business
  • It has allowed us to rapidly increase our ability to image more systems across multiple locations
  • CloneZilla has allowed us to adapt and evolve our imaging environment to handle lots of different scenarios with little issues
Whilst other imaging and deployment suites provide nicer interfaces which suit less technical staff, they do have quite significant price differences in comparison to CloneZilla. CloneZilla not only provides us a significant number of features, it provides a full imaging solution at a price which no one can compete with!

Do you think Clonezilla delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Did implementation of Clonezilla go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Clonezilla again?

Yes

CloneZilla has several scenarios where it can be used in business. Firstly the main purpose for us is for imaging of larger number of systems with varying specifications and operating systems in quick succession. However we have also used it for "point of time" imaging of systems for when employees have left the company or have a full metal backup made.
