"The most valuable features are application deployment and task-sequenced imaging."
"The solution’s initial setup is complex and technical support is not good enough."
"The operations could be faster and you need some patience with this tool."
"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."
"The cost of the product can be improved."
"The solution does not support remote devices so the CMG is still required."
"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 tool's deployment is difficult. Microsoft needs to improve documentation with videos."
"The setup was complex and I faced a lot of problems initially because I was new to the solution."
"The availability of technical support could improve."
