Veeam, Storagecraft, and Windows System Image

Hi, I have Windows 8.1 and 10 troubleshooting and recovery more difficult than Windows 7. There are recovery solutions such as Veeam and Storagecraft but I was wonder how effective is Windows System Image? Does anyone use it? Is the only problem with Windows System Image the lack of incremental backups? Is it sufficient if you only concerned about a quick restore and critical data for the workstation is stored somewhere else?

so the business will not pay for third party software. Is best practice at this point to use the internal system image software and store it on the C since most Windows 8.1 and 10 failures are due to a simple boot failure? The rest of the drives always seem to be fine except for some rare instances where they fail. In that case, I would need to start from scratch because the hardware (new laptop/desktop) replacement would most likely be different and therefore the image would be useless.

Gotcha, can you only use Veeam boot media to recover from a disaster? Also, some people are saying they use it for MS Server. Can this be done?
