"What has been most valuable is the ability to manage, restore and install upgrades and applications. We scan PCs and server and receive results."
"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."
"The solution is highly scalable."

"There is a faster time to rollout. If we get a new PC, it can be ready for productivity right away."

"The operations could be faster and you need some patience with this tool."
"There's no way to say, "I want this maintenance window to be on the second Tuesday of the month." It's strict. This window is this and that's it. You can't fluctuate."
