SMART still has a bit of market control (last I looked they made up like 10% of IFP market), but they basically cost a fortune to buy (beyond competition) and then they still have a subscription on top of that.

I was a SysAdmin for K-12 so I pushed a lot of device agnostic stuff since I didn’t want more to manage. SMART was basically a major pain since users always wanted their old software installed. It was horrible, and it often required more than just app deployment through SCCM.
