It was very good to use in small scale projects. Considering the high end projects with many instances and multi-platform architectures, it is better to test before the application is deployed. I think few of the questions can be general - who are the system users and what size is the application focussing on? How much resources are required? Will the application require any additional services?

Dell ChangeBASE is well suited in migrating an OS to a new version, or 32/64-bit. It's also helpful when virtualizating workstations into Thin Clients for use with Citrix or other thin provisioning services.

  • OS Patch Testing - We further used this to test Microsoft's Patch Tuesday releases before we put them in production.
  • Web Dashboard - The latest version added a fully customization dashboard with widgets to give you an at-a-glance view.
  • Application comparability - We used this to test our Windows XP to Windows 7 migration.

  • Initial setup can be tricky - We needed to contact support for some help.
  • Prior to the latest version, there wasn't an easy way to view all of our results. The new dashboard has rectified this.

Primarily because it used to have a good free tier earlier, which it does not anymore. It's simple, and things are available to use. Compared to it's competitors, it does has less features, but that kind of acts in its favor. That adds to the simplicity, and ease of use for a new user.

Dell ChangeBASE is more costly when compared to Admin Studio, I believe the price was almost double. However, Admin Studio did not provide a comfortable level of support and we felt we were in better hands with Dell's patching schedule. Admin Studio wasn't able to answer our question on when they released software updates and how complex an upgrade would be.
