Ghost V True Image

Burnsy2023 · 18 Jun 2006 at 15:54

I've been using Ghost for a long time and the licensing cost aren't cheap.

I'm thinking about purchasing Ghost 10 (currently using V8) but I was thinking if Acronis True Image is a good competitor?

The thing is I need the Multicast server part that the Ghost suite includes, does True Image also provide this feature?

Any other advice would be appricated.

a lot of people love Acronis.
IIRC there's an Acronis trial which you might want to try?

Do you know if it has the multicast server?

Acronis Snap Deploy does the multicast bit, and there's a free trial of that. It integrates with TrueImage.

Thanks guys.

Anyone know about the license cost?

I got quoted £11.50 per client on an educational license for Ghost.

Email Acronis and ask them about what you want and the costs, Unlike Symantec they actually read your questions and write a specific answer.
