About 18 months ago I left a negative review of SP based on my experience with both the product and the company.
My main beef wasn't the pricing structure but the poor, patronising support and bug-ridden app. My final comment was: Never trust *any* company that has a "lots of people use our product and no one complains" attitude.
Looking at recent comments from Qdea, they're still up to their old games. "Tens of thousands of customers worldwide have found that the quality and reliability of the software and the timely, expert technical support are worth the purchase price."
Do three things before buying this app:
1. Read through the feedback. See how many justifiable negatives there are.
2. Ask Qdea to justify their statement that they have "Tens of thousands of customers worldwide" and find out how big the company is in terms of personnel. Developing and maintaining a crucial app like this and providing good end-user support requires a team of people if it's done properly.
3. Try the alternatives. I've use Tri-Edre's Tri-Backup for 18 months without a single problem and I run the IT for a large design studio.
Just my 2c worth...

I have been a Mac user for 25 years (yes, I started with the very first edition), and I've been a believer in bootable clones for as long as there's been software to do it. I've tried Carbon Copy Cloner and I have used SuperDuper and pretty well all the cloning software. Nothing is as good as SPX.
Firstly, Qdea has the next version of its software ready almost immediately there's a new system or system update. This is crucial. Carbon Copy Cloner works until there's a system update and then it's useless until they get around to doing an update, which can take months and months. If you want to update your clone every week, as I do, CCC is of no use whatsoever. And the same comment can be made about most of the cloning software out there. SuperDuper is pretty good, but way, way slower than SPX.
Secondly, the tech support from Qdea is very quick and very helpful.
SPX costs more than the other cloners, but, in my view, if you're serious about having bootable clones always ready, the money is well worth spending.
I've had several occasions where my clones saved the day in a big way. On holiday in Europe, my MacBook Pro was stolen from the hotel room. On another occasion, a brand new MacBook Pro had a failure of the logic board. In both cases, my little back-up drive with the bootable clone was not touched. I found another Mac and was up and running in five minutes. No data loss at all (in particular my Aperture library).
In short, for real world serious use of bootable clones, you really can't beat SPX. And I should make clear that I have no other connection to Qdea than having been a very satisfied customer for years. A licence lasts for two years and I get any and all SPX updates and new versions during the two years after renewal. Then I keep using the latest version until Qdea comes out with another update or version, and I renew the licence to be able to take advantage of the software for another two years.
