Pros
  • + Wide range of 3rd party product support for packaging. Focus on accessibility for software developers. Promoted by Microsoft as their future solution.
  • + Integration with App Volumes and Horizon. Next to App-V, it's the most widely used product.
  • + Highest rate of app compatibility of all virtualization products. The simplest packaging of all products, very little skill required. Native support for drivers. Ability to control isolation or integration of individual files and reg keys. Citrix Ready and SCCM Integrated. Has powershell cmdlets for automation.
Cons
  • - Relatively low success rate. Steep learning curve for the product. Package mitigations require 3rd party products or use of Package Support Framework which is geared more toward developers than IT Pros.
  • - Though packaging is pretty streamlined and relatively simple with a series of text files, making updates to large applications requires recompiling the .exe which can take a long time. Development was pretty slow and this was the last product to support 64-bit applications. Newer versions of Office or new Windows Operating System have limited functionality.
  • - Doesn't have a very large online community outside of Software2's recipe library which is not free.
