Find out in this report how the two Patch Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."What has been most valuable is the ability to manage, restore and install upgrades and applications. We scan PCs and server and receive results."
"Technical support is helpful and responsive."
"The product is very stable compared to older versions."
"Offers good patching."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager is the availability of being able to manage the Microsoft estate. It handles many areas, such as asset management and tracking."
"SCCM does everything from A to Z for a Windows operating system."
"I like a lot of the reporting capabilities and baseline configurations."
"The product is useful for patch management."
"You can remote control or RDP. That has been the most valuable because we can go into one console and can get to anything we want. Instead of going to all these different consoles, we centralized everything."
"I like its ease of use. It does what you need it to do, and it's a one-stop-shop for the company and for all your deployments. If you incorporate Intune into it, you can have both. You can bring your own devices and corporate devices, and everything runs out of SCCM and Intune."
"It should be more scalable."
"For the Windows upgrade, the errors we experience are not clear. We see a time out error but do not know the reason. We would like to know the root cause."
"In terms of the monitoring, the timeframe it takes to actually report back on the compliance of a device after it has been patched is a bit too long."
"I want the system to provide some dependency relations. I would also like to see the relationship between different machines."
"Its client interface should be more accessible, and the notifications should be more customizable from the console. It should be more user friendly and have some kind of customized notifications so that we can use it on the client side. These are the reasons why we restricted its use only for the server environment and didn't use it on the client side."
"It is a bit of an old and outdated product."
"SCCM does not scale well, which is one of the reasons we are not going to continue to use it."
"The solution can be improved with the addition of a mobile device manager."
"Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager could improve the integration."
"It would be of benefit if Configuration Manager could be connected/integrated with multiple Microsoft Intune subscriptions rather than just one (the current limit)."
