Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) vs SmartDeploy

In this webcast: Our team of computer imaging experts compare Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) and SmartDeploy.

As an IT professional, the appeal of a free IT tool is often very tempting. No need to wait for budget approval, there are no hard license costs, and the initial commitment is minimal. With “free” options available, why spend the money on a paid solution? Special guest speaker Barry Weiss, Director of IT for the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, helps us get into the specifics including training time required, features and capabilities, device driver management, support, and more.
