(Original )Information
What do you like best about SmartDeploy?

I like that I can customize my deployments to tailor to my needs. We use a lot more app packs then most and this helps us tremendously to be able to customize the app packs as well as the deployments. The ability to integrate Google/GSuite in to imaging/deployments has been tremendous as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SmartDeploy?

I don't like that I can't get more granular with my Smart Deploy users permissions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SmartDeploy solving and how is that benefiting you?

SmartDeploy has allowed us to remotely image and deploy apps now that most of our workforce works remotely. This has been a tremendous bonus with the ever changing world we live in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SmartDeploy?

Provides user friendly experience end-to-end for setup of imaging profiles, and uses Windows native image formats so is portable for those looking for redundancy with built in imaging solutions offered by Microsoft. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SmartDeploy?

Licensing can be a pain if your fleet has high asset turnover. Disposing of licenses incorrectly can penalize your account. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SmartDeploy solving and how is that benefiting you?

Traditional image deployment with built in Microsoft tools is time consuming and far more technically involved than we have time for, and SmartDeploy streamlines the entire process end-to-end and offers additional value with driver pack management for device-specific deployments.
