Best Cloning and Backup tool for WordPress Websites
Pros: It is easy to use and it deals with most of the situations. It helped me cut my time for migrating a website to a minimum and it also helped me keeping backups of the important websites I manage.
There are other plugins that I used in the past as Duplicator, but none of them successfully achieved the user experience Duplicator is achieving, nor the technology Duplicator is offering in it's PRO version.
Cons: Sometimes, especially on big database and low resources servers, you need to get creative and fiddle long enough with the settings to make sure you take the website as it is. But still, Duplicator has lots of settings and in the end I always managed to get the data I needed.
Overall: For a professional, Duplicator is a time saver and a life saver.
I always like to have a backup of the original website before starting doing my job and Duplicator helps me:
1. Copying the exact environment on my local setup
2. Keeping the original files safe
3. Cutting the time for the points above

Lifesaver
Pros: Easy to use - creating a backup is a straight forward process. The warnings of issues with web files is also useful I.e. large image files or video that may be slowing the site.
Installing the backup is also fairly straight forward.
Cons: Some knowledge of server and database settings is required for the re-installation of a backup.
Overall: This is an invaluable plugin for ensuring a website is protected while performing updates or introducing new features which can cause sites to crash.

Efficient and fast backup tool for WordPress nevertheless lacks some power-user features
Pros: I like being able to quickly create a backup and upload it to Google Drive, where I have lots of free space. On good hosts (not GoDaddy, in other words) and small-to-medium sized sites, the backup process takes just a few minutes.
If I have to move a client's site to another hosting service I rarely use plugins like Duplicator Pro. Most hosts now offer free transfers and I have better things to do with my time. Some hosts provide quick and easy transfers that require a little bit fo input by me, and that's fine. Cloudways, for instance, uses VaultPress, which I have to install and enter a few settings and some information, press a button and everything is very quickly taken care of.
My favorite use of Duplicator Pro, rather than as my go-to manual backup solution (which is UpDraftPlus) is to create core templates for quickly getting a new site ready to develop.
I've created a couple templates in Duplicator Pro and I have packages ready to install, complete with WordPress/WooCommerce installations and all the basic plugins I need. I customize them according to which page builder I'm using with a new client as well as what custom functionality they require.
This is MUCH easier than building a basic site from scratch every time, installing plugins and settings. Ugh. Never again.
Duplicator Pro makes this easy.
I also like how I can choose the file format for packages. I needed to use this feature when package creation kept failing on a slow, shared host. (GoDaddy, again.
Cons: For my needs as described above, Duplicator Pro is perfect at the Personal license level.
Power-users will miss a few features from other premium plugins. UpDraft, for instance, allows for incremental backups, copying and storing only the files that have changed, making for much quicker and more efficient backups as well as saving space. Duplicator Pro doesn't have this feature.
Overall: I'm grateful that Duplicator Pro allows me to create customized WordPress installations so I can get started designing much quicker.
