"Less server consumption would help, as would better, more flexible reports.""The multi-tenancy support needs to be improved. We need to have the ability to manage several different environments from one central point of administration.""System Center hasn't updated to keep up with the industry. It needs improvements in the user interface, ease of use, and overall product functionality, particularly the cloud-monitoring features. It needs more capabilities to monitor AWS and Azure infrastructure.""In Microsoft System Center, it is difficult to follow the steps to create dataflows at times.""Most of the documentation is online, however, there are some gaps there. The product documentation still refers back to the 2012 Server. We're pretty much in 2022. There's a ten-year gap there.""Something super important that we need is this integration via Intune Configuration Manager.""The platform's performance could be improved. Additionally, its UI needs to be well-upgraded and work faster.""We have some bugs but it's stable. It doesn't break every day. It works. Like other applications, it has a lot of bugs but they're manageable."
