For prepare many PCs in little time with low personal this software is a winner
I use Ghost since winXP, in my lab have 5 PCs identical and each time that begin to malfunction only backup data and put the image store. Very easy to manage and use, many and variate options.
CONSI don't have problems with my few PCs, no compatibility inconsistencies , for now. A little problems will arise if you no have knowledge about configuration of your LAN.

Ghost software
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.
PROSWhat 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).
CONSWhat 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.

Clone and Go - Perfect
I wasn't in love with it. I looked forward to our change over to another product.
PROSIf you are looking for a product that can clone a machine and then put that image back down on a plethora of other machines this works great. But, if you want customization this isn't for you.
CONSIt doesn't allow for a custom deployment task sequence. (At least the version we were using didn't.) If there were things that required to be installed on a per machine basis we had to either do those by hand after it finished cloning or we had to use another deployment tool after the fact to distribute the software/customizations to the machines

Symantec Ghost
Overall this is a really good solution for disk imaging and restoration.
PROSThis is a real-time server, this can do os/disk imaging and restoration really fast. disk to disk clone is also really good and this really helps full if you are doing large-scale disk cloning. currently I'm using this solution to take my company PC backups.
CONSNo failures/troubles still got using this application.
Reasons for switching to Symantec Ghost Solution Suite
difficult to use the interface.

Symantec Ghost Review
As an end user, Symantec Ghost Solution Suite was easy to use and simple. Although I wasn't involved in deployment, I had used the application almost every day to image new or old machines. From my perspective, it was easy and simple. That made it effective for new hires to quickly catch on as well.
PROSVery easy to use from an end user perspective Simple interface that allows for a lot of functionality
CONSOur deployment and management team seemed to have trouble with upgrades. However I cannot speak on behalf of them as I was not involved on that project. Updates took a while
