Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Microsoft, ServiceNow and others in Server Monitoring."Technical support was helpful and responsive."
"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."
"Patching is the main feature because SCCM is made to control the entire environment without manually interpreting. So it is good to use for patching."
"The technical support is good."
"This solution captures all the devices in our infrastructure."
"Microsoft is being very competitive right now, and they are really investing in a lot of new features to be more competitive in the marketplace."
"Software deployment and WSUS are most valuable."
"Endpoint Manager is valuable to our organization because it allows us to connect to our enterprise from remote locations securely. The most useful feature is its robustness and scalability. It is highly scalable and flexible, allowing us to use it in various environments. Additionally, we can specialize the policies related to each device group. This ensures that each group has access to the applications they need for their work and non-work hours."
"The most valuable features of the vCloud Director are global management, added services, and automation."
"The orchestration and automation are very valuable."
"We use the solution to connect clouds to different clouds."
"Their technical support is great. We had some difficult cases and they were able to solve them in a timely manner."
"It optimizes the process for cloud structure."
"vCloud Director is a scalable solution, and we have 10 customers who use it."
"Good features of extensibility, which allows integration of other services."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The assets have reached their end-of-life, and patching them is a complex and laborious task. It would be highly advantageous if there were an integrated solution that provided distinct options for each end-of-life asset, streamlining the process and facilitating comprehension."
"In spite of us being a premier customer we find the support unsatisfactory."
"Based on my experience with SCCM 2016, the main, big issue is not having a good user-friendly environment. It needs much better GUI."
"The main room for improvement is the on-screen display. I think it would be good if some improvements were made."
"Built in PowerShell cmdlets would be a nice feature because managing clients remotely can be a pain without knowing the WMI calls to run."
"The time the solution takes for updating systems could be quicker. For example, the system information status is not updating as it should. Additionally, the database synchronization querying is slow and could be improved."
"The database should be made to be more stable and robust, but not so much the configuration."
"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."
"Improvements could be made in the building feature since there isn't a real building feature associated with the product. We require a building feature to integrate with other solutions."
"We are having a bit of a problem with vCloud Availability. We know that vRA has a new product, HCX. We would like to know about it, then migrate to the product."
"In version 6.7, compatibility to migrate VMs from a vCenter to vCloud Director had a problem. However, this has been solved in the newest version."
"The product could use a billing feature so we can automate billing for clients."
"In the next release, we would like to see improvements with the pricing. It could be reduced."
"It would be beneficial if some features were built into the platform rather than requiring integration with multiple products, reducing complexity and licensing concerns."
"The solution's installation is difficult, and you need somebody with the solution's knowledge to do the installation."
"If you use it for a lot of customers, it is too heavy for this solution."
