Sometimes you find something that just works

SmartDeploy does exactly what we need it to do and our deploy operations can be as basic or as involved as we want them to be. The system saves us a lot of time and helps us standardize and maintain our images.

Pros:

In the realm of utilities SmartDeploy is a breath of fresh air in that it handily does the job it was designed to do in a straightforward and reasonable fashion. IT would be a lot more fun if everything worked like SmartDeploy.

Cons:

In certain cases the components of a package get baked into the package and if a component is updated the packages containing that component have to be re-edited in order to pull in the updated component/content. There should be a way to dynamically "refresh" packages when there is a component change. This is a small complaint that is easy to navigate, and I am sure SmartDeploy will add the "refresh" concept I am looking for at some point.

Reasons for choosing SmartDeploy

There are three things that set SmartDeploy apart from the competition: 1. The use of virtual machines as reference systems. 2. The platform pack/driver catalog. 3. Overall ease of use. If you can install Windows and Windows apps, you can deploy images using SmartDeploy.

SmartDeploy: Efficient but Setup-Heavy

SmartDeploy is an excellent solution for IT teams looking for a powerful, flexible, and efficient way to manage deployments. Its cloud integration, hardware independence, and driver management capabilities make it a standout choice. Despite the higher price point and setup effort, it significantly improves the efficiency of deployment processes, making it worth the investment for larger or growing teams.

Functionality

Pros:

I have used SmartDeploy to manage deployments across multiple machines, and it has been a game changer for our IT operations. It is incredibly user-friendly, with an intuitive interface that simplifies the process of creating and deploying images across various devices. It's hardware-independent imaging saves time by eliminating the need for multiple images for different configurations. The automatic driver management ensures the right drivers are installed seamlessly, reducing the chances of deployment issues.

Cons:

While SmartDeploy offers many useful features, the initial setup can be time-consuming and may require a learning curve, especially when configuring deployment packages and capturing images. Additionally, the pricing can be a bit steep for smaller organizations, which might find it less cost-effective compared to simpler alternatives. Although it's great for Windows environments, its limited support for Linux and macOS can be a drawback for teams with more diverse operating systems.

Reasons for choosing SmartDeploy

I chose SmartDeploy over Clonezilla and SCCM because of its user-friendly interface and hardware-independent imaging, which saves time by eliminating the need for multiple images across different devices. It also offers seamless cloud integration, allowing remote management, a feature lacking in both Clonezilla and SCCM. Unlike SCCM, which is powerful but complex to set up, SmartDeploy provides a streamlined deployment process without the heavy infrastructure and technical requirements. Additionally, its automatic driver management simplifies deployments, making it more efficient than Clonezilla's manual approach.

SmartDeploy is a smart decision for your imaging and driver update needs

We have been using this software for about 4 years now. We continue to be impressed with the I.T. teams response to feature requests. They deliver on what they say they will. Use for imaging, remote driver/Bios updates, and now remote software installations. Top notch product.

Pros:

The ease of use of this software, along with the ability to perform cloud, network, or USB deployments are a plus. We can also upgrade drivers only over the network. The SmartDeploy team saves us many hours of having to look up drivers and BIOS upgrades. Now we can push them out remotely, trusting that the SmartDeploy server has us up to date. One of the best I.T. decisions I have made.

Cons:

I don't have any complaints at this point.

The best imaging solution available

SmartDeploy offers a fine harmony among capacity, and convenience for workstation imaging and sending that is colossally gainful for more modest to medium size associations who don't have the opportunity or financial plan to devote to more mind boggling, oversaw arrangement and imaging instruments.

Pros:

SmartDeploy is extremely easy to set up and use, and there are numerous recordings and different assets on the off chance that you need help. It has an extraordinary UI contrasted with other imaging arrangements, and organizations are quick and practically blunder free. It is extremely easy to import pictures and make answer documents utilizing the implicit wizards, and you can set up custom or unattended organizations and reimage PCs distantly. Driver packs are refreshed routinely, which saves a ton of time since you don't need to find and import them all physically.

Cons:

The only real con is that it costs more than other solutions, but you definitely get what you pay for with this product.

Reasons for switching to SmartDeploy

The price is little bit low as compared to this software.

Pros:

Ease of use is by far the best thing about this product. From start to finish, continued use and alterations, it's just so simple. Someone without a deep understanding of computers and how deployments work could pick up this product and create their first image with little struggle at all.

Cons:

The only con to Smart deploy would be creating a VM and capturing the first image. However, this was only a struggle because our current VM software was on the list that had special steps to take. But even that only was fairly simple if you set up VMs often and know a little about how they work.

Reasons for choosing SmartDeploy

There was no need to really look at other products. SD has given me no reason to even look into other products.

Reasons for switching to SmartDeploy

The company I worked at prior used SD and I was always impressed with the product.

Amazing Product!

SmartDeploy is amazing for our small school. I am the only one who does the imaging in our two buildings. With roughly 250 workstations between two different schools, SmartDeploy makes it so easy and user friendly to image!

Easy onsite OS Imaging

The support team is very responsive and helpful. Also, their Knowledgebase is laid out very clearly and logically. Each support article in a process leads to the next step and so forth. Their licensing site makes it easy to reclaim unused licenses and generate a report.

Pros:

SmartDeploy can be used to easily and quickly image multiple PCs onsite. It's possible to customize deployment by adding applications or features at time of install. A group of hardware models can be imaged from the same flash drive as long as the correct platform packs are downloaded.

Cons:

The use of the SmartDeploy flash drives requires our team to be onsite using our LAN connections to domain controllers. Also if we update the image which is done quarterly, all flash drives at our various sites much be reimaged.

Update the Drivers without Recreating the Image

Pros:

I love the idea that the Drivers are separated from the image itself. I can use the image to different brands and model computers (except Mac) and just either download the driver pack (ppk) from SmartDeploy or create your own. I started using their Cloud Deployment, and it is amazing. A user can download the 600Mb payload to a flash drive, boot to USB and voila... SmartDeploy will pull everything it needs from your Cloud Service (OneDrive for me). They have forums and videos that are very helpful.

Cons:

I haven't seen anything I don't like about the product. No annoyance or instances that will scratch my head.

Pros:

SD is always improving on their product. It's easy to use and the user interface is simple. The time it takes to image a machine is minimal. Even though we tell our users that it takes longer to image a machine - because then they'll just start getting demanding if it takes longer than 3 hours.

Cons:

I don't utilize it to it's full potential. That's more a con about me than the software. It may do this now, but creating a golden image from a live machine would be awesome. Or just being able to do an image of a live machine and then snaps. So if something happened to that computer, I could just reimage it with that backup image/snaps.
