Nothing so far. I have installed it on 4 computers used by guest at the customer service center and it’s running fine till now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Reboot and all is reset back to your chosen state of operation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The configuration was a bit tedious but well laid out, small icons for older eyes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that when a user has an issue or downloads a virus or deletes anything pertaining to the OS that if I restart, it is a clean slate! Also if our students decide to place their homework or anything on the desktop, it is gone the next day or restart. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The enterprise console is a little picky at times on waking computers on LAN, but that could be our network making it an issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Love how you can install it, and let students pretty much do whatever on the machine. then once rebooted, it goes back to "default" and ready for the next user. I also like using the Admin Console where i can see all the computers, who is logged in, if the computer is frozen or thawed, and what version of DF. Also like the idea of having different configs for different rooms\labs. The program also is password protected so to even use it, you have to type a password. And it does not show up in Add\Remove Programs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What i don't like is the non-cloud version console does not support Macs. So we have a console for windows computers then on a Mac, we have it install for the Mac clients. Sometimes when we thawed lock the machine, and do our stuff, then freeze the machine, it sometimes shows us in the console the machine is frozen, but it's still lock. We then have to reboot the machine and try again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a great software! Plenty of utility and works well all the time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not user friendly for beginners and lacks some premium features. No comete remote control of devices supported Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Product reliably restores the set configuration on each reboot. We can comfortably leave the public computers in use after hours and not expect support calls. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Without a license upgrade, updates take some consideration to implement through scheduled tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The deep freeze software is one of the most useful software's I use. I no more need any kind of anti virus software's since I started using the deep freeze software. This deep freeze software saved me lots of time, effort and money for other antivirus software's etc. .The Deep Freeze software allows the users to freeze the system attributes at a position where you want. .This position of the system is changeable. .If there was any crash in the system, with a restart of the system, everything will be back to the previous stage where the system is frozen using the deep freeze. .There is no scope for retaining any kind of virus because of the presence of deep freeze. .The system retains the previous frozen state when ever it is restarted.

There is nothing I dislike about the deep freeze software. This software saved my system from effecting with any kind of virus since years. I dint get a need of any kind of anti virus software's all these years. This software reduced most of my work of deleting the unnecessary files which are saved in my system. All the cache and unnecessary files will be deleted and my system regains its old state with every restart. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While trying to install a new product from the internet, unknown and unwanted tools are also installed, possibly due to our unawareness or ignorance, so I always try to install it with Deep Freeze. Once it works as I desire, then I boot thawed. Then reinstalled... a great facility.

1. Prevents all unsafe installations.

2. Best protection from viruses

3. The best for data recovery

4. Worth a lot more than the price

5. Very handy and easy to use

6. Unique security option Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think I like this most and it's a bit difficult to find dislikes, but still, I would like to mention a few. We need to take care and be conscious about whether the frozen or thawed condition is active, otherwise...

1. Saving a file in a frozen drive and rebooting. We should remember to relocate the file to an unfrozen drive, otherwise, we will lose the entire file data.

2. Any driver installations may not work if installed in a frozen condition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You can control the PCs that are used. You can wake, sleep, or even remote into them from the command console. You can also easily unfreeze and refreeze machines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface feels clunky and outdated. Sometimes PCs are not reachable from the command center interface, and require hands on assistance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
