Its good to highlight these free offerings, but, are these free versions no longer going to be offered for free as the 'Ending Soon' prefix suggests?

I tried using a free version of Acronis True Image a year or so back, I took up the offer due to having WD drives on a device. It seemed rather unwieldy(bloated), slow and not that good at restoring images and updating it seemed convoluted. Unlike the Acronis True Image that I remembered from about 10 years ago when I'd last used it seriously. Is it just me or do others feel the same way about Acronis True Image?

Yes it's true, Acronis True Image was good until the 2014 version, after that it became bloated, slow, heavy, only the ATI 2019 version that saves itself a little, outside of that version the rest has gone bad, better to use BOOTCD than you install ATI, I still use ATI, but it doesn't beat Macrium Reflect in terms of speed and solid backup.
