"The most valuable feature of Ivanti Patch for SCCM is the detection logic."
"It gives us the ability to set up schedules, according to what our security requirements are, to automate the patching of our servers and desktops."
"We have found the scalability to be quite good."
"The tool's most valuable features are easy patch management and software deployment."
"This has made the management of our environment easier."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ability to deploy patches to nearly all applications."
"The ability to make collections and deploy to them has been great."
"SCCM is a stable solution."
"It lets you know what your infrastructure is like and what state you are in."
"We have some problems with patches not installing successfully."
"In future releases, I would like to see improvements with the feature upgrade for the SCCM, which Microsoft has already integrated. Currently, Ivanti does not give us information about the enablement package."
"There is a reboot issue with the patching. Sometimes, if patching runs into any issue whatsoever, it doesn't reboot but it doesn't tell you it errored out. It just sits there and we don't find out until the next day whether it patched or not. That was a big issue for us. We're working through that. They added some stuff in there now where you can actually tell reboot is pending. But we still need some kind of notification that if something fails or is pending, we know. We shouldn't have to go in and look. They don't have anything for that right now."
"SCCM does not scale well, which is one of the reasons we are not going to continue to use it."
"I'm looking for a single solution for all discovery needs. It fulfills about 40% of the requirements, and I'd like to see the other 60% so that I don't have to keep doing this."
"Devices like smartphones and tablets are managed very well on VMware, however, they are absent in SCCM. I could configure iPad from the VMware site and it was done very easily. It should be just as possible on SCCM."
"This solution needs to be supported on all Operating systems."
"The tool's deployment is difficult. Microsoft needs to improve documentation with videos."
"The assets have reached their end-of-life, and patching them is a complex and laborious task. It would be highly advantageous if there were an integrated solution that provided distinct options for each end-of-life asset, streamlining the process and facilitating comprehension."
"The time the solution takes for updating systems could be quicker. For example, the system information status is not updating as it should. Additionally, the database synchronization querying is slow and could be improved."
