We performed a comparison between Microsoft Configuration Manager and ScienceLogic based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Server Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution doesn't require any maintenance from our end because it is a cloud-based solution and Microsoft takes care of everything."
"I like a lot of the reporting capabilities and baseline configurations."
"The major features of this product are the reporting tools. The most valuable features are package deployment and application deployment. Security management is also good because any vulnerability will be identified, and you can fix it. It's the best tool because you never know what kind of client you will have. For example, you may have your offices in low bandwidth remote areas. But it's achievable because it accommodates the bandwidth that you have available. Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager is an excellent reporting tool for your environment. If you want to know the details about the hardware configuration, software configuration, what is causing a problem, or when a new feature update comes in for Windows, even that goes on SCCM itself. A lot of deployment stuff."
"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."
"The initial setup is fairly straightforward."
"Technical support was helpful and responsive."
"It saves a lot of money when you can install things automatically and they are installed the exact same way on every computer."
"What's valuable is the basic management of the systems, being able to control who can access the systems."
"The power flow is great."
"When it comes to features, the power pack is the most valuable."
"It is very easy to configure because we are using an agent-less version. You can very quickly implement a collector for monitoring device servers."
"I'm satisfied with ScienceLogicfor for what they can offer today because they can offer both serverless connectivity and agent connectivity."
"The best feature is the highly flexible graphs."
"It is simple."
"The solution provides good infra-monitoring features."
"Dynamic Component Mapping is key and unique."
"Microsoft should extend support for additional platforms."
"Regarding this, I'd like to mention the agent situation. When the agent on an end-user device is not functioning correctly, it can be quite problematic. It would be highly beneficial if there were a self-healing mechanism in place. Essentially, if the agent becomes corrupted or encounters issues, it should be able to rectify itself autonomously. This is particularly critical because, in order to utilize a tool like MECM (assuming you're referring to Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager), we need to deploy agents, known as AsMs, on all the devices we use, such as Windows 10 or Windows Server. Sometimes, when we deploy configurations or updates, they don't apply properly due to agent issues. This issue has been present since we began using MECM around 23 years ago. Unfortunately, there is currently no built-in mechanism for the agent to detect its own problems and initiate self-repair. Microsoft doesn’t have any feature to scan vulnerabilities and hence, they could include those."
"This solution needs to be supported on all Operating systems."
"Could do with some cosmetic improvements on the user interface."
"There should probably be better remote support. They should also continue to improve on patch management, patching, and creating or turning products in software into deployable apps."
"Initial setup was complex. There's a lot that goes into it."
"SCCM should strive to enhance the accuracy of its reporting functions in order to avoid any issues with incorrect or inaccurate data."
"Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager could improve the integration."
"ScienceLogic should provide detailed documents to customer as the current documents are not sufficient."
"They need a little more self-service."
"Admins do not have direct access to the reporting."
"The product's reporting functionalities have certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required."
"They should add CLI command modes and scripts for high performance."
"It was challenging onboarding users."
"They should improve their support process and add chat."
"There are often bugs in new releases."
