A program installed under Altiris SVS is supremely flexible. You can completely uninstall it in an instant, then bring it right back to full function. If it gets corrupted, one click restores it to a just-installed state. And you can easily copy the installation to other computers. Best of all, you can download it for free here on pcmag.com.
Virtualizes software installations, allowing instant deactivation/reactivation. Can reset a corrupted program to its just-installed state. Exports installations and imports to computers with different configuration or operating systems.
No option to merge a virtualized application into the base computer. Security programs may report rootkit-like behavior. Active/inactive status not obvious in user interface.
