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. > > 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. ----- ### "SmartDeploy is a smart decision for your imaging and driver update needs" — 5.0/5 > **Lou** | *29 January 2019* | Libraries | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **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. > > 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. ----- ### "Great imaging software, it will make you forget about all of the others\!" — 5.0/5 > **Derrick** | *23 January 2019* | Semiconductors | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: This software was very easy to use and learn. The software walks you through everything to setting up a reference virtual machine to capturing that reference machine. The support documentation is great and if needed, you can always reach out to their amazing support team. > > **Cons**: No cons to add here, Smart Deploy continues to expand its capabilities and is always adding additional functionality. Most recently, cloud deployment options. > > I've been using SmartDeploy a little over two years now and continue to be amazed at the new functionality that continues to be released on a regular basis. They took the amount of time it used to take to complete a build of a new computer down drastically and we quickly had an ROI. ----- ### "Deployments have never been easier\!" — 5.0/5 > **Patrick** | *8 June 2020* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: We have multiple PC Vendors (Dell, Lenovo, etc.) which all required different drivers and was a headache for us to manage and implement (especially with new refreshes). Smart Deploy's ability for us to image devices without having to worry about drivers and ease of use / understand was fantastic. > > **Cons**: There were a lot of pre-requisite software from Microsoft which we were required to install to get our SmartDeploy server up and running. We ran into some issues with software and compatibility, which was frustrating, however the Support team was very quick to respond and help resolve these issues very quickly. > > Overall, I would recommend SmartDeploy to any IT professional as they have helped us with saving hours of IT overhead, saving costs and it's ease of use. I would choose SmartDeploy over again in a hearbeat. ----- ### "Good Product (Performs Better than Others)" — 4.0/5 > **Kerry-Ann** | *8 July 2019* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The product is easy to use and the ability to automatically connect to a WiFi network on deployment is a great feature > > **Cons**: Sometimes devices do not get joined to the network for whatever reason. Also, you cannot have computers named in sequence upon deployment, instead they are automatically given random numbers. Unlike Acronis, which I could input computer names to be Laptop-Department{15} and it would named the computers Laptop-Department15, Laptop-Department16, Laptop-Department17, etc. SmartDeploy randomizes the number sequence. So, when you input the naming convention as Laptop-DepartmentXX, it names the device Laptop-Department84, Laptop-Department25, Laptop-Department40, etc. There is no sequence or logic to the number section. Additionally, you still have to do some prep work by making some changes in the Bios on newer machines in order to get the software to image to it. Also, when you select to log into an account after imaging, it seems that it creates a local account for the profile instead of using the domain account and then it does not join to the domain. > > Overall, it is a good value. The ability to connect it to the WiFi network without having to manual do it makes it worth it. Additionally, not having to worry about getting drivers as they have the most popular drivers within the library makes it better than other solutions on the market. ----- Page: 1 / 6\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/171214/smartdeploy?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/171214/smartdeploy) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
