The main benefit i got was that it gave me an option for deploying multiple applications in one image which helps avoid conflicts between different versions or software packages running side by side within same PC (the issue we had with windows update). I did not really get much other benefits since everything worked well before using this product so there were no major issues at all but as always if you have been experiencing any problems then perhaps its worth trying out once because some times they do solve our problem! We used smartdeploy application deployment solution from many years ago when Windows Update came up along w/Windows 10 upgrades. It's easy to use and it works great! No complaints here. I have used other products in the past that are very difficult to figure out. This one is pretty simple to follow along with and has been working flawlessly so far for us. We were able to get rid of all our physical media and replace them with virtualized systems.
