Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, HCLTech, Kaseya and others in Patch Management."The most valuable feature of Ivanti Patch for SCCM is the detection logic."
"This solution is stable."
"I like the data collection."
"Microsoft Configuration Manager helps with patch management."
"One of the standout features of SCCM is its application management capabilities. It allows us to create packages efficiently and deploy them to specific groups within our network. This streamlined process has significantly improved our software distribution workflows."
"This solution helps us by automating the patching of our system."
"Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager is very scalable."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ability to deploy patches to nearly all applications."
"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."
"Provides great insight into the functionalities of the data scope."
"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."
"A lot of experience is needed in terms of troubleshooting, as this is one of the most difficult tasks in MECM. We were seven people in a group and I was the only one that had the patience to do the troubleshooting at times."
"Cloud-based improvements need to be better managed."
"The solution can be improved by speeding up the synchronizing of the policies on the devices."
"The main thing is that SCCM has to become an appliance instead of a server. When I say appliance, it has to come preconfigured so that it is drop-shipped into the enterprise and then you activate the feature sets that you want. It should pull down all the latest binaries. Once that is all there, it should have a discovery tool which goes out and discovers the assets within an enterprise. If the server, workstation, and applications are all coming from the same vendor, why not have the vendor do this work for us and automate it as much as it possibly can?"
"I would like to see some improvements in WSUS and control of other, non-Microsoft, product updates."
"The downside of Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager is it's an on-premise-based solution. With the pandemic coming on board the need to support users across the globe has increased. For a while, we would use the in-built Microsoft Teams screen sharing feature but the disadvantage of that is you cannot perform privileged access. Microsoft does not give you access to that. That's where you need cloud-based tools, such as BeyondTrust or Freshservice."
"The ability to integrate MDM would be great."
"The product needs to improve scalability."
