According to IDC, "Altiris can now claim to provide all five functions for desktop management support: software distribution, IT asset management, remote control, PC backup, and settings and configuration management. Altiris is one of only a few vendors offering a comprehensive Client Management Suite solution" (Fred Broussard, senior analyst, "PC and Device Management Software," IDC, August 2002).
