Product review

Bob Kelly (AppDeploy):

   "The option to expand upon Group Policy instead of replacing it is the real beauty of Specops Deploy- for most organizations biting of on a replacement system for application deployment can be a hard sell. With so many relying on (or just trying to get by with) Group Policy for application deployment, Specops Deploy presents a solution that does not require changing the way you do business while resolving most all the issues that can make managing software deployment with Group Policy so frustrating."

Bill Barnes (RHCE Bloomsburg University):

  "In an academic library settings, client reimaging has become a common procedure. When you reimage often, many software distribution management packages fail or are tricky to get working correctly. We chose Specops Deploy to fill the gap between the built in GroupPolicy Software install and SMS. It is working so reliably for us, we're starting to remove SMS clients off the public computers, using Specops Deploy!"
