The post was a general overview of what is happening in the Application Streaming space. I was planning to follow up on each product to do them all justice. I agree that Symantec’s packages are very well regarded for their integration with software asset management. You are right as well in regards to streaming over the Internet. Citrix and Microsoft products are playing catch-up in that space. I find the Brian Madden site very useful and relevant. I recommend anyone investigating application streaming look at the resources you mentioned. http://www.brianmadden.com/blog/MichaelKeen/Application-Virtualization-Comparison-chart I hope to review the AppStream product very soon and detail a little more about its usage and provide a comparison from my experiences. Thanks Colin Brad

I wanted to respond on the comment about AppStream's ability versus the other products (disclaimer - I work for AppStream, now part of Symantec). Although all the products listed have won different awards, the AppStream (Symantec SVS Pro) won the Infoworld Technology of Year for 2008 virtualization platforms when reviewed against several peers, as well as awards for software asset management. Most of the other products do not software asset management by themselves, but provide this through interoperability with a larger framework. Also I believe that AppStream and Endeavors have been doing delivery over the internet for several years and would claim a strong maturity in offerings versus some products which have recently announced this support. As I'm sure you know in feature and product comparison it really depends on the use case and overall architectural goals of the projects and some product are certainly better than others depending on the environment. Another recently posted feature matrix from some VAR consultants in Europe has been posted to virtualfuture.info and BrianMadden.com. It shows a detailed feature to feature comparison of the 'top 5.' Looking forward to a great read on your further analysis. Best regards - Brad Hi Colin -
