"The most valuable features are device management and support for upgrading applications."
"We can set a maintenance window and push the patch."
"Ivanti Patch's most valuable features are the patch module and the package distribution."
"The solution is a good product and I have heard that the interface is more friendly than that of Windows."
"It is very easy to use, as well as extremely efficient and accurate."
"We use the solution for security patching of Windows devices."
"I like a lot of the reporting capabilities and baseline configurations."
"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."
"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."
"Offers good patching."
"This solution has made life easy with respect to patching, compliance, and OSD."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager is patch management."
"This solution captures all the devices in our infrastructure."
"SCCM is a stable solution."
"The product's support and configuration need to improve. It needs to be more scalable."

"Ivanti Neurons Patch for Intune needs to improve stability. We had issues with patching."
"The reports have to show the compliance level of the patching, which Ivanti does not provide."
"I would like to have better support for the application."
"Customers sometimes ask about non-existent features, and we pass these requests on to Ivanti."
"There are times when there is an update that causes some issues. These issues should be sorted out before the release."
"I tried to be a partner of Ivanti and, from this vantage point, the quotes are, perhaps, a bit high."
"The TSM component could be improved."
"They should improve their anti-malware policies like the SCEP policies. For instance, you can't have different policies for different servers, there is only one policy in all the servers, and everything is covered under that. For example, say you want to scan one group of servers on Saturday, and then you want to scan another group of servers on Sunday, you can't do that. You have to scan all your servers, a regular scan or a full scan, on the same day and at the same time. That's definitely one thing they need to resolve. In the next release, it would actually be nice if they included Apple products. It will also help if you can use Intune again. Their compliance reporting feature could also be better. They can maybe work a bit on that for patching now. It would be better if SCCM came with the functions of Right Click Tools built-in. If SCCM would have all those functions already built-in, we won't have to go and spend $5,000, just as an add-in from another company to get those functions."
"Their compliance reporting is not accurate, and they admitted it on the phone when we had a call with them. We were trying to understand why their numbers didn't match on our compliance reports. It is not accurate and you cannot depend on the compliance reports. The numbers just don't match, and we can't figure out why. We called Microsoft and they said, "Yeah, that's a known issue." But there is no word that they're working on it."
"Could do with some cosmetic improvements on the user interface."
"It would be better if automation options were available. For example, in Nexthink or SysTrack, there is an analytical tool. Creating dashboards would be very easy if you implement the same thing in Microsoft. That report will be a daily cost to the customers and good revenue for our organization. The price also could be better. In the next release, we need to include some features like tables, dashboards, surveys, services, and metrics in the dashboard. Whatever we are implementing will be downloaded by a report. Apart from the report, we will telecast from the dashboard. It's very easy to compare, and it will be easy to telecast to the end-users."
"I want the system to provide some dependency relations. I would also like to see the relationship between different machines."
"They need to improve the support for the Mac operating system."
"Regarding this, I'd like to mention the agent situation. When the agent on an end-user device is not functioning correctly, it can be quite problematic. It would be highly beneficial if there were a self-healing mechanism in place. Essentially, if the agent becomes corrupted or encounters issues, it should be able to rectify itself autonomously. This is particularly critical because, in order to utilize a tool like MECM (assuming you're referring to Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager), we need to deploy agents, known as AsMs, on all the devices we use, such as Windows 10 or Windows Server. Sometimes, when we deploy configurations or updates, they don't apply properly due to agent issues. This issue has been present since we began using MECM around 23 years ago. Unfortunately, there is currently no built-in mechanism for the agent to detect its own problems and initiate self-repair. Microsoft doesn’t have any feature to scan vulnerabilities and hence, they could include those."
