Infrastructure patching Manager at Keyloop

I would rate it six or seven out of ten.  There have been significant issues in the past, particularly over the last three years. Sometimes, the activities we attempt to implement are not entirely successful, and they end up being ignored. Achieving a full implementation success rate of 100% is challenging; typically, we reach about 90-95%. It requires substantial effort and diligence to get everything working as it should, highlighting the need for improvements in this regard.

The stability on SCCM is fine. However, we are still on Windows 7 with some computers on Windows 10, neither is better nor different with SCCM. 

It seems as if SCCM will only work if the WMI Database and its health on a computer is working properly. If it breaks, then the SCCM client doesn't work. It's not a function of SCCM because the WMI Database is part of the Windows operating system. The SCCM client relies on the Windows OS, but something will break on its own (anywhere from one to five percent of the computers), and we are always chasing this down.

Manager at DATA AND CLOUD

The product is very stable compared to older versions. The configuration is easy to upgrade, and if there is a problem with a combined server, the user can roll back to a previous version. Additionally, there are many tools available for covering different aspects of the product, which makes it a very important configuration.

This is a very mature product so it's very stable. In the 24 years I've been using it, most of the kinks have been worked out. It's all about having a healthy network and a healthy, active directory structure. If those two things are in place, you'll have a really good experience. If not, it will definitely show its head in the SCCM product.

AE
Senior Information Technology System Administrator at a insurance company with 1,001-5,000 employees

MECM is stable. However, whenever Microsoft makes changes or updates to the workstation operating system (Windows 10, for example), you also have to adapt your version in the server accordingly. So, in future, if you're going to be deploying Windows 11, you will also need to upgrade your version of Windows in MECM. This means that you are always thinking about which versions of operating systems you have in your workstations as well as which versions you have in MECM.

You have to do such maintenance every six months, where you need to consider the versions of operating systems while upgrading and testing to see if they are compatible with your MECM. On the whole, it ends up being a lot of work.

Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager is a stable solution. There is nothing to worry about. When Microsoft pushes updates or patches, they will be in the W-Sync server. We have some people who will concentrate on Sync's parameters. Apart from that, everything is perfect.

Improperly set security settings can lead to console performance issues. SCCM client issues are also inevitable. We recently had to diagnose and fix downloading issues caused by older BranchCache issues with the old client. Otherwise, the client and server are very stable.

We don't have very many issues in SCCM. It's not a plug and play software, however. From time to time it does require fine-tuning. You need the right management and administrative people in place to manage the product. This is essential in order to keep it running correctly.
