"The ability to give our teams functionality from a control perspective, allowing them to decide how they want to implement the tool, is valuable."
"This solution helps us by automating the patching of our system."
"The most valuable feature is the graphical-based reports of software updates that have been successful, the ones that have failed, and a summary of where the failures are what security breaches may occur."
"We have found the scalability to be quite good."
"I like the data collection."
"SCCM is a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature is the scalability."
"The solution has a very good set of features."
"We're a Microsoft-centric organization, so we are happy with the integration between products."
"Technical support for this solution is very good, although they can still use improvement in some regards."
"Password complexity is not enforced by the tool."
"Security features can be improved."
"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."
"Devices like smartphones and tablets are managed very well on VMware, however, they are absent in SCCM. I could configure iPad from the VMware site and it was done very easily. It should be just as possible on SCCM."
"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."
"SCCM can improve on third-party application support."
"The configuration of Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager could be improved, it is a bit complicated."
"On some hardware, we'd like an easier way to get peripherals attached."
"This solution should be simpler, and more consistent across modules/sections."
"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."
