### "SmartDeploy Rocks!!!"

January 30, 2019

5.0

My overall experience is EXCELLENT. One image for many models is awesome.

Pros

The best thing I like about the software is SmartDeploy is always looking for ways to improve the product. Adding new features or improving current features. The current product has changed a lot since 2011 when I first staring using SmartDeploy.

Cons

the thing I like least is that there is no feature to backup a machine in order to re-deploy to a new machine.

### "asset to company"

April 22, 2021

5.0

I like their support services if I get any problem they fix it right away.

Pros

I like that I do not have to create a machine first for sysprep rather I can create the VM and I can deploy. The timing is fast in just 17 minutes your image is on your machine deployed and ready.

Cons

It can't update my VM machine with updated software and windows. I have to do everything manually and deployed again.

### "Smarter than most"

January 29, 2019

5.0

Pros

The ease of use so far with the modules available are super easy to use even with some of them being in beta

Cons

Limited amount of application packs which is COMPLETELY understandable because it was just released, there's not really many cons so this is the only thing I could think of

### "Imaging made easy"

January 29, 2019

5.0

Pros

SmartDeploy makes imaging new computers incredibly easy. Once your image is set up, which is the longest part, it's as simple as plugging in the bootable usb and turning on the computer. Most of the time I don't even attach a monitor because I know it's going to work. The interface is really easy to use and there are a lot of features. SmartDeploy has cut down on the time I spend installing the same programs on new computers.

Cons

I haven't had many problems with it. If you don't type everything in correctly in an answer file it can cause issues but that's more of a user error than a software issue.

### "Deployment made Easy"

January 29, 2019

5.0

Overall, I Like the software. Its a good alternative to paying for some of the more advanced imaging solutions. If someone does not know how to capture an image this makes it very easy to run through the process.

Pros

I like the fact that I can create and deploy an image very easily.

Cons

The issues with the update of 1809, I don't like that I have to do a warm capture now after I updated the software.

We were loading machines either from a master or from a disk. With 26 different PC models, that was difficult.

Pros

I find this software very easy to use. It saved us

When we first started using it, we had some trouble, but everyone was very helpful.

### "Great Software!"

April 13, 2020

4.0

Was great, no issues. Works as recommended.

Pros

Product has a great 'trial' period to get the know the features very well. Was easy to use, works well and cost was reasonable

Cons

Certain default apps get affected by the deployment and must be then changed manually after imaging.

Reason for choosing SmartDeploy

Was recommended by a bunch of MSPs we are in contact with using Robin Robins Marketing toolkit as well.
