We shouldn’t promote cloning apps! At one point they were useful with HDD’s of old.

Today we have hidden partitions (Internet Recovery) and newer file systems (HFS+ Vs APFS) that these cloning apps just don’t work and can leave the system appear working but is not setup correctly when you need recovery services.

We should focus people to use Migration Assistant, Yes it’s a bit slower as each file is CRC’ed as its copied over. And yes you do need to transfer the user accounts. In the end you get a better image!
