    Speedy! Easy to setup and use!

    Date: Apr 12 2021

    Summary: Simple yet powerful program that will cut down setup times substantially. Great support team and lots of resources for getting started.

    Their site has tons of documentation and videos on how to get the product setup.

    Great Product

    Date: Jan 28 2021

    Summary: SmartDeploy has certainly helped with business needs and management and their support is always helpful and responsive.

    Positive: Incredibly easy to use and configure, barely any setup time, along with useful features which are massive time savers.

    Negative: One of the only cons is driver platform packs not always applying, but this is generally fixed with an update to the pack. Can also always make your own.

    Solid solution

    Date: Jan 04 2021

    Summary: We have used it for 3-6 months now and it is working well for us. The user interface is good and deployments just work!

    Positive: We struggled with Microsoft MTD, it took too long to deploy and build a laptop and sometimes the PXE boot would fail. Using SmartDeploy with deployment on a USB stick works every time and is much quicker.

    Negative: If anything the trial version does not allow USB deployments, it got fixed by the support team, but it did hold us back for a little while.

    Best imaging solution with outstanding support!

    Date: Dec 04 2020

    Summary: Ease of use and well developed product support won us over. It's the easiest PC imaging solution we've ever used.

    Positive: Moved over from Symantec Ghost over to SmartDeploy and I've never looked back.

    Product support team has been outstanding. They truly back up their product and respond in a very timely manner for all feature requests.

    Negative: Licensing is annual and it seems a bit pricey. Not for every organization with tighter budgets.

    All in one

    Edited: Oct 13 2020

    Summary: I've tried to wrap my head around getting MDT started from scratch but some of the post deployment steps were just too confusing. SmartDeploy has a wizard for it all. Creates an answer file, joins it to the domain, even adds wifi profile. I haven't been able to do that with any others I've tested.

    Positive: The best of deployment in one easy package. Best part is the driver platform repository. Honestly the whole thing is the best part. You can go back in your console and update drivers for the systems.

    Negative: None come to mind. I guess if I had to pick something it would be the price. But still worth it.

    SmartDeploy is a valuable asset for our IT Operations

    Date: Aug 03 2020

    Summary: Overall, I'm impressed with the ease of use of this product. the fact that I can deploy payloads efficiently and globally is a time saver, and cuts down on our departments time.

    Positive: We utilize SmartDeploy across our global organization. The ease of use and simplicity of configuration are lifesavers! We were able to get our Golden Master online and deploying in around 3 hours from install. The application packs, and Platform packs make driver and app installs seamless.

    Negative: Nothing to note yet, I will update this review if I do find something I don't like.

    Great app

    Date: Jul 20 2020

    Summary: I've now imaged about 100 PCs using SmartDeploy. We've been imaging them leisurely, 1-4 a day, then taking them out of the IT room and deploying the physical boxes. This app is a huge time-saver.

    Positive: SmartDeploy makes it easy to deploy images, deploy applications, capture user data, check OS versions, and much more.

    Negative: Speed of building a USB drive, but that's a hardware thing.

    Cloud Deployment Made Easy

    Date: Jul 03 2020

    Summary: A complete, cost-effective solution.

    Being spread out over a large geographical area image management was a massive chore, in fact, we weren't maintaining it. A device was only imaged once then shipped to the user, never to be updated again.

    All it took to revolutions this shortfall was: building a golden image, adding the relevant platform pack, uploading everything to your preferred Cloud Platform (via the Console) and installing the SD client on the target machine (Microsoft Intune for us). That's it.

    Push an image to a client and everything take place over the internet, no requirement for user interaction.

    Once the image has been deployed application and drive updated a quick and easy via the layered architecture.

    Positive: Cloud deployment
    Layered deployment architecture
    Ease of Use
    Cost
    Knowledge base/User guide repository

    Negative: Sometimes getting newly installed clients to show as Online in the console is cumbersome. This can often involve a few restarts of the SD service.

    SmartDeploy For Small Business

    Date: Jun 15 2020

    Summary: I've noticed SmartDeploy is always looking for feedback on their product, invites users to recommend features, and has incredible support when your stuck.

    Positive: It's easy to learn and fast to start deploying. I really like how they have everything broken down into layers and you can quickly switch out different layers in the event you need different drivers, apps, os image, etc. I really like that you can deploy to PCs remotely too.

    Negative: Sometimes connecting to the cloud is problematic and you have to uninstall the application and then log back in with your email. Uninstalling the app isn't so bad though because it's quick to reinstall and all your stuff comes right back.
