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 product's initial setup phase is easy with the help of the framework consisting of Microsoft Azure."
"The interface is in continuous development and improves version by version."
"This is a good product and I recommend it."
"I think it's stable, scalable, and flexible."
"The managing and monitoring are the solution's most valuable features. They are something I find quite helpful in my work."
"This solution has improved our organization through the provision of efficient resource utilization and capacity planning."
"I like the data collection."
"Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager is valuable in keeping our systems updated. We are able to send updates to all the systems. Additionally, the Intune integration is helpful."
"The solution is stable."
"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 uses detailed descriptions of the workstations, and that is good for me."
"The solution doesn't require any maintenance from our end because it is a cloud-based solution and Microsoft takes care of everything."
"What's valuable is the basic management of the systems, being able to control who can access the systems."
"It's helped us solve problems surrounding patching, installing, and reporting different patches, etc., on the virtual machines."
"The quality of service and support for this solution needs to be improved."
"I think that support integration could be improved."
"Our customers would like to see the price lowered."
"The product should increase the processing capacity and allow speedy deployment, as both of them are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The return on investment report is too difficult to understand."
"If the solution could provide better integration to make it easier to manage everything on different servers, that would be helpful. Whatever servers a company has, be it IBM, Dell, etc., if the System Management could be a platform that links all of them together, it would make management across different server types easier."
"The solution is a bit heavy on the sources such as RAM or CPU and the software needs to be a bit lighter."
"Not everything is readily available, and there are a lot of commands that are only executable via PowerShell."
"The reports are too busy. They could be simpler. I'm a technician, so I don't care how pretty the reports look. They should be easy to read. I'm designing this for production folks. They need to read the reports quickly when they're patching in the middle of the night."
"Their compliance reporting is not accurate, and they admitted it on the phone when we had a call with them. We were trying to understand why their numbers didn't match on our compliance reports. It is not accurate and you cannot depend on the compliance reports. The numbers just don't match, and we can't figure out why. We called Microsoft and they said, "Yeah, that's a known issue." But there is no word that they're working on it."
"It would be nice to have everything in one place. Now they have Intune for the desktops and SCCM to handle their servers."
"Cloud-based improvements need to be better managed."
"I would like to see some improvements in WSUS and control of other, non-Microsoft, product updates."
"Some of the capabilities aren't fully developed yet. It's an ongoing work in progress. I think they are making some steps in the right direction as far as managing workstations centrally, like Intune."
