Deep Freeze is a great product. I use it in a very large college
environment and it offers some unique capabilities.
The greatest benefit is its ability to restore a machine to its
initial state even while allowing users to make temporary changes. In
a lab environment this can be indispensable as most machines are
thoroughly abused in the run of a day.
Depending on how you configure the product it can be quite useful at
mitigating some of the risks associated with certain types of Malware.
If for example the Malware doesn't hook until a reboot the machine
will not have a chance to do extensive damage. If it does get a
chance, it will be clean on the next power cycle regardless. You can
actually recover from some pretty interesting filesystem failures.
These perks are definitely specific to my environment; and this
product certainly has some limitations. If you can provide a little
more info on your intended application of the product, I could
probably include more relevant info.
