Have you also considered the ScriptLogic products? I was looking at them the other day, more comprehensively than I have before, and they’ve really beefed up their offerings. I’m not sure about price, though.
Still, looking at the products they have acquired and seeing what improvements they have made, it won’t be long before ScriptLogic is part of that list you always see, i.e., Altiris, SMS, LANDesk, etc. You might take a look… From: Tom Miller [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, January 18, 2008 8:45 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Altiris, Zenworks, LANDesk, SMS...decisions decisions 600 on WAN-connected sites, another 100 or so on broadband sites (Zen can manage those broadband sites via an agent, not sure about the others). I use Citrix for application availability for some apps, so the workstation/user management features are more important. Imaging is also secondary, as we also use Ghost.

From: Tom Miller [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, January 18, 2008 8:36 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Altiris, Zenworks, LANDesk, SMS...decisions decisions Hi Folks, I'm currently using Novell's Zenworks for workstation and user management here (imaging, ghosting, remote control, inventorying, application deployment, user and workstation management). There is a new version out and it looks great. But, before I purchase Zenworks can those of you who use LANDesk, Altiris, and SMS give me some feedback on what you like/don't like about those products? All of these products seems to provide similar functionality. One big thing for me (as my organization is not-for-profit) is that Microsoft has non-profit licensing that is so much less than the other three, and cost is a factor here. But Zen does a lot in one package and I need to find out if the others do the same. Comments welcome.
