SmartDeploy vs. Macrium SiteDeploy
Unlike Macrium SiteDeploy, SmartDeploy simplifies Windows imaging in ways that matter. With a prebuilt driver pack library, local network and remote computer imaging features, and critical task automation — all from one platform — getting endpoints up and running has never been easier.

Macrium SiteDeploy
Macrium SiteDeploy is a sector-based imaging tool for creating Windows deployment media. While it includes a built-in PXE server, cloud-based deployment options are limited, making it less flexible when supporting off-site or hybrid fleets. Time-consuming tasks like driver management and Sysprep also require manual setup.
SmartDeploy
Fast and flexible, SmartDeploy creates and delivers custom Windows images to endpoints anywhere via offline media, local networks, or out-of-box cloud services (no VPN needed). With comprehensive driver management features and automated workflows in one solution, you save time and effort where it counts.

How it works
Set up, update, and manage endpoints with greater flexibility and ease. Flexible layers enable you to manage the OS, applications, drivers, and user data independently from each other rather than baking everything into a locked image.

“Simple to use imaging …The surprising thing though is the driver management and cloud deployment. Dell Command Update and similar programs do not have the robust and straightforward level of what versions drivers are on devices and the ease of updating them.”

“I like that you can image computers remotely through cloud storage. I also like that you guys provide all of the driver packs so that users don’t have to track them down.”
STEPHEN T.
System engineer
“I love how easy it is to set up and use. It literally took under an hour to get everything setup on the backend. Creating and updating images were just as easy. I am able to see all the computers in one window. I can see what OS they are running, if drivers are outdated, and even if OS is outdated.”
