We performed a comparison between Microsoft Configuration Manager and OpenText ZENworks Configuration Management based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Configuration Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Great for software update needs, operating system version updates, and security policy enforcement."
"The key benefit of Intune is its integration with the Microsoft ecosystem."
"The one feature we find most useful is the Mobile Application Manager. There are two types, we have the complete MDM and the Mobile Application Manager(MAM). We don't give our users phones, it is their own personal phone, and we need to allow them to have access to the company detail on their phone. We need to create a balance between their own personal data and the company data. We deploy the Mobile Application Manager for them so that we won't be able to interfere with their own personal data."
"Autopilot is the most valuable feature."
"It is a helpful tool to manage BYOD policies."
"Users can make screenshots, and devices only need the minimal version of iOS."
"The technical support of Microsoft Intune is good."
"It's easy to manage and easy to configure."
"Automation of operating system, application, and update deployments massively reduces IT operations effort."
"The solution has a very good set of features."
"The scalability to deploy the package."
"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."
"Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager is very scalable."
"It is a very well-rounded product. It is a complete package with all the features using which we are able to manage our PCs very efficiently."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager is the availability of being able to manage the Microsoft estate. It handles many areas, such as asset management and tracking."
"It is easy to install, and quick to deploy."
"Helps me perform changes in connected infrastructure thanks to the discovery features."
"The most valuable feature is the impact analysis."
"I would like the ability to install the agent on devices from suppliers, which would enable us to implement a zero-trust strategy for guest devices."
"Cost is the biggest factor for us right now. Microsoft Intune and AD P1 together in a bundle is a good thing to have, but it is very costly compared to other products in the market. Otherwise, Microsoft Intune is the best."
"There is room for improvement, particularly in terms of compatibility, extending beyond the well-known major brands."
"The scalability could be improved, and like most other MDM products, Intune is good but not 100% there yet."
"Intune should be much more granular in terms of supporting more Android cellular devices."
"There is still a gap between SCCM and Intune, especially in the reporting, inventory, and software deployment areas."
"The reporting and cost have room for improvement."
"The product needs to upgrade itself when the server is overloaded."
"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."
"SCCM should strive to enhance the accuracy of its reporting functions in order to avoid any issues with incorrect or inaccurate data."
"The database should be made to be more stable and robust, but not so much the configuration."
"A lot of experience is needed in terms of troubleshooting, as this is one of the most difficult tasks in MECM. We were seven people in a group and I was the only one that had the patience to do the troubleshooting at times."
"Devices like smartphones and tablets are managed very well on VMware, however, they are absent in SCCM. I could configure iPad from the VMware site and it was done very easily. It should be just as possible on SCCM."
"In terms of scalability, I believe there's room for improvement. While SCCM is capable of handling our current needs effectively, scalability could be enhanced to accommodate future growth and larger deployments."
"The operations could be faster and you need some patience with this tool."
"The TSM component could be improved."
"The native UI should be simplified because it is outdated and a little bit over-complicated."
