Our customer service and productivity have increased in quality and quantity since using this product
Agiloft has a great support team to help the process along. They are affordable, friendly, and knowledgeable. The tech support team acts like walking encyclopedias. They know databases and programming. After all these years, we hardly need to speak to Agiloft anymore. However, they have great customer support. Every time we need something from them, they make our small troubles go away quickly.

Enhanced remote functionality complements intricate admin management
We are using it as co-management, working from SCCM and some from Intune. However, there are dissimilarities between SCCM and Intune, so we use SCCM for specific tasks or policies Currently, with the system, we have some remote tool functionality which is not available with Intune. We are also…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Our customer service and productivity have increased in quality and quantity since using this product."
"The remote access is one of the features I really enjoy. The pushing of email updates and things like that are very good."
"For our cloud-based deployment of SCSM, the Autopilot is the best feature."
"This solution is easy to use."
"The solution offers good productivity at a low price point."
"SCSM is easy to learn because all of the material, including training videos, can be found online."
"We use SCSM to manage all of our IT operations, including incident and service requests and problem management."
"SCCM provides remote tool functionality, which is not in Intune."
"SCCM provides remote tool functionality, which is not in Intune."
 

Cons

"We have found the documentation a bit confusing at times. This area could use some improvement."
"It would be better if they had a portal for administrators. It would help me use it from anywhere and connect to any device from anywhere. I can administer the solution without a VPN."
"My company had planned a few months ago to apply SCSM over the cloud in order to provide updates, like regular updates, but it had to be put through a few tools from Microsoft on the cloud, which was not easy."
"Better integration with other services in Azure is needed because everything is moving from on-premises to the cloud, and as an integrator, we have to help our clients with the migration."
"It's not too hard to compile stuff but it is hard to manage the solution. Even the design itself makes it difficult for management."
"The solution could be more simple. For example, it takes a lot of work to create reports. It runs on Microsoft SQL queries. Creating custom reports on ManageEngine takes less work from the administrator."
"The price of this solution is high and it needs to be cheaper."
"The configuration could be easier."
"We have had some issues with the SCSM on-premise deployment version in the imaging aspects."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Agiloft has by far the best entry point for both cost and learning curve."
"After about six months, we started making a return on our investment at more than 300%."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"I would rate the pricing as two out of five."
"It is a lower price vs. other things on the market."
"The price should be lower."
"The license for SCSM is cheap."
"It comes free with the enterprise agreement that we have, but the expense really is in having to buy another product to sit on top of it to make it work properly. You wind up having to buy additional support and additional product with their own support and maintenance costs on top of that."
"It is an expensive solution."
"The platform is competitively priced."
