I use Acronis True Image at home for basic imaging and backups.

I would go for ghost for your work if I were you as it seems to do it well enough. We use it at work.

 

Acronis with its Universal restore gets a big thumbs up from me.

 

We are still using one of the older versions of ghost combines with a batch file on a cd to run the instructions, it seems to do for us.

I have used ghost in a couple of pots and it has alwatys done the job for me. So I suppose the question is why are you wantint to upgrade, what do you want the new solution to achieve that the old one doesn't?

 

I recently asked my boss to order our department Ghost solution enterprise v2.5 and installed it on a windows server 2003 server. I also created a multicast ghost server and attached to a Cisco switch with 1GB port connection.

We get an HP DC7800 and DC7900 desktop imaged and prepared for the network in under 20 minutes. Time to ask my boss for a pay rise,

I am impressed about the simplicity and plus lets you create cloned PC images on dvd etc. Thumbs up, as I got 55 HP laptops model 6730b done in under just a little over two weeks. I'd go for Ghost

 

I think Acronis is easier to use but at work we have ghost and it seem robust enough.

 

I personally had my boss purchage GSS v2.5. I find it pretty easy to use, there are plenty manual's online, support is okay, not the best, but after all I find most of the info I need on the internet.

What I like about ghost is that I can ghost computers in remote offices. Of course that depends on how you have your routing in the company setup. I have a ghost console and inventory of all computers, they're specs, etc... you can create scheduled jobs for after work hours. It has a lot of neat features as well like the sysprep integration, etc... I am sure Acronis has some similar features but I've always been a GSS fan.
