"Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager is very scalable."
"It's helped us solve problems surrounding patching, installing, and reporting different patches, etc., on the virtual machines."
"It works well for the endpoints for the customer I'm consulting. It has a bunch of knobs, and you can tune it to do lots of things."
"Valuable features include configurations enforcement, compliance data gathering, and deployment of a standardized OS."
"Microsoft Configuration Manager gives different tools in one solution."
"This solution helps us by automating the patching of our system."
"The most valuable feature is the graphical-based reports of software updates that have been successful, the ones that have failed, and a summary of where the failures are what security breaches may occur."
"The solution effectively handles inventory management, deployment, and reporting."
"The WCC could be improved."
"We have to escalate through channels to get to somebody who knows what's going on. It takes time that we do not necessarily have."
"I would like to see the Service Orchestrator, a B2B product, and maybe a process audit."
"This product needs to improve its graphical user interface."
"We are trying to see if we can use this from a cloud perspective with AWS, Azure, and other clouds, but it seems that there is no cloud integration in this product. We would like to see cloud integration. We are very pleased with this solution, but we are moving our application to the cloud, and we found out that it doesn't support any cloud features. So, we are trying to find a replacement."
"It would be helpful to be able to monitor and manage workload windows so we could minimize downstream applications. This would allow us easier access to the applications."
"The cross-platform arena, where you can run work on multiple platforms, needs improvement."
"The reporting system, currently, could be better."
"There should probably be better remote support. They should also continue to improve on patch management, patching, and creating or turning products in software into deployable apps."
"The product needs to improve scalability."
"The solution should be more compatible with different versions of Linux."
"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?"
"The main room for improvement is the on-screen display. I think it would be good if some improvements were made."
"One area of improvement is regarding the patching of Office 365 products. We have some difficulties on this side, and it can be improved."
"The TSM component could be improved."
"I would like to see some improvements in WSUS and control of other, non-Microsoft, product updates."
