Matrix42 offers a full life cycle management product, including backup and recovery, PC disposal and a self-service catalog, which many products do not offer.
FrontRange
Package building has long been a differentiator for DSM. Many products require third-party products for advanced application packaging; however, DSM provides a proprietary module to help customers build products.
FrontRange DSM offers 170 canned tasks, which are particularly useful for organizations that lack technical configuration management expertise.
DSM has strong Citrix XenApp management capabilities; for example, customers can take the same package that was packaged for a PC, and use DSM to configure it for XenApp (e.g., concurrent execution, etc).
