"This solution is stable."
"The product is useful for patch management."
"We are happy with the collaboration of SCCM with Patch My PC, which allows us to do patch work."
"We're a Microsoft-centric organization, so we are happy with the integration between products."
"Microsoft has done a good job with authentication solutions, such as single sign-on, or open authentication."
"It lets you know what your infrastructure is like and what state you are in."
"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."
"This solution captures all the devices in our infrastructure."
"Patching is very effective and reporting is very good."
"In future releases, I would like to see improvements with the feature upgrade for the SCCM, which Microsoft has already integrated. Currently, Ivanti does not give us information about the enablement package."
"We have some problems with patches not installing successfully."
"There is no asset management package included."
"As far as load balancing across, they don't have that support yet, so that you can actually build multiple primaries and have it load balance across. They don't have any of that functionality yet. That would be a nice feature, to scale that way."
"This solution should be simpler, and more consistent across modules/sections."
"We'd like the solution to make it easier to manage remote users."
"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."
"It would be nice to have everything in one place. Now they have Intune for the desktops and SCCM to handle their servers."
"The App to upgrades to the server needs to be improved."
"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."
