Find out what your peers are saying about ServiceNow, BMC, Freshworks and others in IT Asset Management."IBM Tivoli Asset Management for IT is a user-friendly solution that has a good user interface."
"I like Mircosoft's technical support. Microsoft has a few updates, like some of the critical KBs. They are published within the interval time, and in case of an escalation on the client missions, we will raise a ticket with the Microsoft team. They will create a hotfix or a critical update. They will chat with us, and that is one thing I like about Microsoft. Whenever any issues occur at my organization, they will help you out soon as possible within the SLA."
"I manage software updates and operating systems for devices, and within seconds, we can remotely deploy a system for, say, 2,000 devices. Not only that, but we can also deploy scripts and create comprehensive compliance rules."
"I have found the solution to be scalable. We have around 50,000 users using the solution."
"This solution captures all the devices in our infrastructure."
"Microsoft Configuration Manager helps with patch management."
"The technical support is good."
"Patching is the main feature because SCCM is made to control the entire environment without manually interpreting. So it is good to use for patching."
"We have found the scalability to be quite good."
"The solution’s initial setup is complex and technical support is not good enough."
"The solution can be improved with the addition of a mobile device manager."
"It would be nice to have everything in one place. Now they have Intune for the desktops and SCCM to handle their servers."
"The solution should be more compatible with different versions of Linux."
"Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager could improve the integration."
"The reports are too busy. They could be simpler. I'm a technician, so I don't care how pretty the reports look. They should be easy to read. I'm designing this for production folks. They need to read the reports quickly when they're patching in the middle of the night."
"SCCM should strive to enhance the accuracy of its reporting functions in order to avoid any issues with incorrect or inaccurate data."
"Built in PowerShell cmdlets would be a nice feature because managing clients remotely can be a pain without knowing the WMI calls to run."
"The product needs to improve scalability."
