    Well suited scenarios : One of the situations SmartDeploy helped immensly was in application deployment and management for our projects , making it and instant favorite for the deployment process. Also in one situation where we had a high flying app development which did'nt had much time to develop, deployment thorugh smart deploy made it quick and less involvement. Easier to understand major functionalities and onboard new projects. Less appropriate scenarios: We faced issues while utilising by DevOps team for monitoring every system for issue resolving in linux update on every employees system. This created alot of delay in every employees work front as systems were not working as expected

    Pros
    Secure By Design Inc.
    • 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

    • It allows us to maintain only one image. Much less effort required than storing and maintaining multiple images.
    • LAN deployment works very well with few issues.

    • Remote monitoring is useful but has some lagging and functionalities are not upfront to use , making it complicated for new users to be aware just by using the application
    • Windows migration was quite difficult in terms of updates of softwares to be migrated to new system
    • Integration with client systems can be tough as major usage of other softwares is done in most of client systems causing us difficulties to integrate with smart deploy on the same platform

    SmartDeploy customer support has been very good. Although we do not always get a super-fast response (though always within the time stated). The tech support folks at SmartDeploy always go the extra mile to see that our immediate issues are taken care of in as timely a manner as possible. They have always been attentive to our needs and frustrations.

    SmartDeploy has a fantastic deployment process management with detailed and configurable aspects. Even though it has detailed configuration it still somehow makes it easy to understand and implement compared to other services which need special learning and courses to understand them completelya and use them efficiently. This is one quality highly appreciated and stacks up against any other services I have used for deployment

    Return on Investment
    Secure By Design Inc.
    • 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

    • Very fast as an image deployment solution for new PCs. We do not have to create a completely new image when new hardware comes out. This is an amazing time-saver on its own.
    • With offline deployment and some workarounds, this is allowing us to migrate many Windows 7 units, rather than having to upgrade each one or load from scratch or replace it with new hardware.
