[OPLINTECH] DeepFreeze vs. Reboot Restore RX Pro

[Chris Krumnow]

I've used both Deep Freeze and Reboot Restore Rx Pro. We went to Reboot
Restore in 2015 because it was better supported with Windows 10. I didn't
have the issues Dan had with Reboot Restore RX Pro support. They were
always very helpful. We did move back to Deep Freeze in 2016 due to Windows
update issue with Reboot Restore Rx Pro. Since then, Deep Freeze has had
its problems with Windows 10 as well. I've had nothing but problems with
Deep Freeze support. I would rather beat my head against a brick wall than
talk to Deep Freeze support.

Faronics, the developer of Deep Freeze, is now focused more on their
cloud-based system that is significantly more expensive, I'm not sure how
long the server-based Enterprise version will be available. For
example, there is a bug in the current version of Deep Freeze that Faronics
won't fix for the Enterprise version. I am still planning on testing Reboot
Restore Rx Pro in 2019. At this point, I think it's probably 6 of one
or half dozen of another between Deep Freeze and Reboot Restore RX Pro.

One thing to note, the software work significantly differently. The
lockdown procedure is reversed between the two software. They both have
admin consoles that make it easier to maintain the computers.
