Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Microsoft, ServiceNow and others in Server Monitoring."I think it's stable, scalable, and flexible."
"The managing and monitoring are the solution's most valuable features. They are something I find quite helpful in my work."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy with the help of the framework consisting of Microsoft Azure."
"The interface is in continuous development and improves version by version."
"This solution has improved our organization through the provision of efficient resource utilization and capacity planning."
"This is a good product and I recommend it."
"I manage software updates and operating systems for devices, and within seconds, we can remotely deploy a system for, say, 2,000 devices. Not only that, but we can also deploy scripts and create comprehensive compliance rules."
"I like a lot of the reporting capabilities and baseline configurations."
"The initial setup is fairly straightforward."
"It works well for the endpoints for the customer I'm consulting. It has a bunch of knobs, and you can tune it to do lots of things."
"There is a faster time to rollout. If we get a new PC, it can be ready for productivity right away."
"We're a Microsoft-centric organization, so we are happy with the integration between products."
"It saves a lot of money when you can install things automatically and they are installed the exact same way on every computer."
"It does the job and meets our needs. With everybody working remotely these days, we are using this solution to deploy everything. The deployment of PCs is easy."
"If the solution could provide better integration to make it easier to manage everything on different servers, that would be helpful. Whatever servers a company has, be it IBM, Dell, etc., if the System Management could be a platform that links all of them together, it would make management across different server types easier."
"The quality of service and support for this solution needs to be improved."
"The product should increase the processing capacity and allow speedy deployment, as both of them are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The return on investment report is too difficult to understand."
"I think that support integration could be improved."
"Our customers would like to see the price lowered."
"SCCM should strive to enhance the accuracy of its reporting functions in order to avoid any issues with incorrect or inaccurate data."
"I would like to see an agentless version of the solution."
"It is a bit of an old and outdated product."
"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."
"They should improve their anti-malware policies like the SCEP policies. For instance, you can't have different policies for different servers, there is only one policy in all the servers, and everything is covered under that. For example, say you want to scan one group of servers on Saturday, and then you want to scan another group of servers on Sunday, you can't do that. You have to scan all your servers, a regular scan or a full scan, on the same day and at the same time. That's definitely one thing they need to resolve. In the next release, it would actually be nice if they included Apple products. It will also help if you can use Intune again. Their compliance reporting feature could also be better. They can maybe work a bit on that for patching now. It would be better if SCCM came with the functions of Right Click Tools built-in. If SCCM would have all those functions already built-in, we won't have to go and spend $5,000, just as an add-in from another company to get those functions."
"This solution should be simpler, and more consistent across modules/sections."
"I would like to see some improvements in WSUS and control of other, non-Microsoft, product updates."
"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."
