For years we've used NetRestore for imaging and restoring our OS X test computers. Mike Bombich did a great job in writing and supporting this useful product, but it has now reached its end of life. Consequently, we set out to find a replacement and have settled on DeployStudio.
This feature set won us over:
- Deploy & image Macs & PCs
- Advanced computers reconfiguration (Mac only)
- Full automation support
- Realtime deployment monitoring
- Freeware!
It has the ability to run shell scripts after the restore is complete. This could be used to make images more convenient with less user interaction required. For example, you could cause the script to automatically install a commonly used testing application after being reimaged.
While their documentation on their homepage isn't the best, their forums are active and the creators seems to respond fairly quickly to questions. They also have a wiki. It's very new so not much in it, but presumably will have more information as time passes.
