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."It is a product that is very easy to learn."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"SCCM is a stable solution."
"There is a faster time to rollout. If we get a new PC, it can be ready for productivity right away."
"We are happy with the collaboration of SCCM with Patch My PC, which allows us to do patch work."
"We're a Microsoft-centric organization, so we are happy with the integration between products."
"With the SCCM inventory, we found a lot of rogue applications. We were able to identify them, find out who was running them, and either put them on our application list or remove them."
"With the right administrator, application deployment can do wonders."
"The initial setup is straightforward and not too complicated."
"Valuable features include configurations enforcement, compliance data gathering, and deployment of a standardized OS."
"At times, there is degradation in performance."
"In Kaseya, agents are shown as offline at times, and it is an area that is being improved."
"It would be better if reporting were more user-friendly. I would like to see an upgrade in the reporting structure in the next release. At the moment, you have to use an SQL query or configure it to pull reports through the graphical user interface. Their updates could be more regular. I think Mircosoft updates it every six months. They are also moving many things to Intune, and Microsoft decided to move the deployment solution there. I think SCCM is getting old, and Intune is new."
"The tool's deployment can be cumbersome."
"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 solution does not support remote devices so the CMG is still required."
"One area of improvement is regarding the patching of Office 365 products. We have some difficulties on this side, and it can be improved."
"SCCM does not scale well, which is one of the reasons we are not going to continue to use it."
"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."
"The main thing is that SCCM has to become an appliance instead of a server. When I say appliance, it has to come preconfigured so that it is drop-shipped into the enterprise and then you activate the feature sets that you want. It should pull down all the latest binaries. Once that is all there, it should have a discovery tool which goes out and discovers the assets within an enterprise. If the server, workstation, and applications are all coming from the same vendor, why not have the vendor do this work for us and automate it as much as it possibly can?"
