ManageEngine OS Deployer vs. Ninite Pro

Easy to setup and train a colleague for use. PXE boot is great as well within the application.

• It provides a central dashboard where we can quickly patching assess needs and address any problems.
• The client is relatively lightweight and doesn't impact user productivity.
• I like that we have the control to have the covered software products auto-update or choose to manually push updates on our schedule

• An OS deployment needs to be able to handle Pre, While and Post actions. For example when using PXE to boot to WinPE I would like to be able to manage pre settings such as specific BIOS settings or make firmware upgrade and such.
• In addition to above it would be great to trigger actions based on wmi queries such as Make and Model.
• Scripting I was told is ongoing function to be released but I would like to instead of having the need to creat a script file such as a PS1 file and upload I would like the option to write the code directly in the UI for the specific template. This will make it easier to update.

• Although the third party app support is vast, we would like to see it expanded

Very good usage for my IT team when needed.

ManageEngine is eeasier to use and it not linux based.

• As ManageEngine OS Deployer is currently just in testing mode it yet haven't had a impact on our business but the possibility to manage different Remote Offices is a great deal and will make deployment easier.

• We don't have to worry that we have vulnerable un-patched third party applications on our workstations.
• The products works off-network, so we don't have to worry about road warriors going unpatched
