Migration Assistant Inconsistencies in High Sierra

I wanted to know if anyone else is having issues restoring images onto a new machine in High Sierra. Previously we would take a disk image of a users old machine through Disk Utility boot the new machine into Recovery and restore with no issue. No the transfer completes but it essentially creates a blank image where nothing has been transferred.

The same result happens with Migration assistant, but with more inconsistency. Sometimes migration assistant will work but more often than not it fails.

We can set up the new machines and drag the old home folder over but that misses alot of the settings and preferences the user had, leading to headaches for everyone I would like to avoid.

Im open to using a third party products if they get the job done. Thanks!
