"The most valuable feature of Lenovo XClarity is the ease of use because of the interface browser that is highly compatible and it has mobile web management."
"It is a good choice for deployment that performs very well."
"Microsoft Configuration Manager is integrated with other Microsoft products."
"The most valuable feature of SCCM is the application distribution."
"It is easy to install, and quick to deploy."
"Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager is very scalable."
"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."
"The most valuable features are application deployment and task-sequenced imaging."
"SCCM is a stable solution."
"They could enable notifications on emails and phones regarding control panel information."
"Lenovo XClarity can improve the dashboard integration. For example, graphs could be better. Additionally, more integration with other vendors is needed. For example, VMware has integration with a lot of vendors."
"The solution is a bit heavy on the sources such as RAM or CPU and the software needs to be a bit lighter."
"It should provide the ability to remotely connect to mobile devices. There are some solutions that are doing that, but with Microsoft Intune, the only way to remotely connect to devices outside the organization and mobile devices is by using TeamViewer. It is pretty strange for a big company like Microsoft to not have something for that."
"The TSM component could be improved."
"There should probably be better remote support. They should also continue to improve on patch management, patching, and creating or turning products in software into deployable apps."
"The analysis is something that can be integrated. Their report analysis can be improved a little bit due to the fact that most of the time complaints policies are saved by the admins. It's something that we need to look into and search for."
"One area of improvement is regarding the patching of Office 365 products. We have some difficulties on this side, and it can be improved."
"With Microsoft Premier Support, you get what you pay for. There's Third Tier Support that you pay for. If you pay for that, you get excellent support, and if you don't pay for that, then you get the less experienced staff."
"The solution can be improved with the addition of a mobile device manager."
