What do you use for remote software deployments?

[Technut27]

I'm tasked with looking for a tool we can use to remotely install software on clients. What are you all using? Ideally it would be something that either has a client that can manage the job or a client less tool that can push the installs out to the machines. I've looked at things like SCCM and Altaris before but want to keep my options open.

I use SCCM 2012 with 11 Sites. Works well.

Novell Zenworks

I'm looking to use SCCM 2012 for image/software deployment as well. Plus software metering is on the shortlist for required features. My lab is up and running but still learning my way around the product.

SCCM 2012 here. Works well but I really hate the interface (it's why I LOVE LanSweeper so much!)

We're using SCCM 2007

We use Altiris at my location, but we have 20,000 assets. Probably not the best solution for a smaller business.

We use Absolute Manage which is cross-platform (Win/Mac) and works really great and the price is quite good.

I haven't tried much else though.

We use Easyinstall which it cheap and highly customizeable

I use PDQ Deploy
there is a free version whihc is quite good
the full version I have trialed and will let you install batches of programs

I use the website appdeploy to find out most of my information and switches
