[OPLINTECH] Deep Freeze vs. Clean Slate

[Greg Syferd]

Another +1 on Deepfreeze.  As Chad said, it just works for us.  It does one thing and it does it well.  Has paid for itself many, many times over.

We've purchased directly from Faronics as well as other resellers.  We've never seen a significant change in pricing between vendors, probably more a matter of who is offering the best offer for the day.

Greg.

+1 on Deep Freeze. It's one of those few products out there that simply does it's job, does it amazingly well, and hasn't bloated with unnecessary "features" over the years. It is also one of those few products that will very quickly and very obviously pay for itself in spades.

WRT purchasing it, as has been mentioned, you can purchase it directly from Faronics or you can purchase it through a Faronics reseller, if your tech support company happens to be one. Faronics gives its resellers a little discount so the reseller can sell it to the end user at the same price as can be had directly from Faronics. The price should be the same either way. However, the reseller may have a wider selection of licensing options to suit your needs versus what's available on the website store. On the flip side, I've had the opportunity to purchase directly from the website on behalf of a client and found it to be pretty straight forward and easy.

Two questions.  What do you recommend to protect public computers running Windows 7, and where is the best place to buy it?  We were using Steady State … sigh.  I’m looking at Faronics’ Deep Freeze or Fortres’ Clean Slate, but I’m open to other options.

Thanks!
