We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable features are the precision of detection and the level of customization of the policy.""We are close to having 99% or 98% detection."

More ESET Cloud Apps Protection Pros →

"Patching is the main feature because SCCM is made to control the entire environment without manually interpreting. So it is good to use for patching.""I like a lot of the reporting capabilities and baseline configurations.""The product is very stable compared to older versions.""It is a very good solution. It has a good interface and is easy to use. On top of that, it is very reliable in terms of distribution as well as getting the report.""It is easy to install, and quick to deploy.""This solution has made life easy with respect to patching, compliance, and OSD.""The scalability to deploy the package.""It is a good choice for deployment that performs very well."

More Microsoft Configuration Manager Pros →

Cons
"It's not easy for an admin to check and decide if the email is good or not.""The specific domain file for Apache needs to be well-defined."

More ESET Cloud Apps Protection Cons →

"Microsoft should extend support for additional platforms.""The setup was complex and I faced a lot of problems initially because I was new to the solution.""Built in PowerShell cmdlets would be a nice feature because managing clients remotely can be a pain without knowing the WMI calls to run.""I want the system to provide some dependency relations. I would also like to see the relationship between different machines.""The product needs to improve scalability.""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.""The database should be made to be more stable and robust, but not so much the configuration.""Management of Linux devices could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The solution provides affordable pricing for medium sized industries."
  • More ESET Cloud Apps Protection Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Pricing and licensing are horrible. You have to not look at dollar value to use SCCM. It's super-duper expensive but it works. The acquisition cost is expensive, it's labor-intensive. But it works."
  • "Pricing and licensing are a downside of SCCM. It's expensive. I'd have to confirm this, but I think they changed the licensing to core-based instead of socket-based. It's not cheap, because you have to buy the software, you have to buy SQL. Another thing we learned from talking to Microsoft is that they provide you a license for SQL if you run it on the same box as the primary server. If you run it outside that box, you have to buy SQL. Microsoft does recommend you running it on the same box because of performance. But then, in order to run SQL, SCCM, and everything on the same box, you better have some resources. It's an expensive solution. There's no doubt about it."
  • "Overall, I think it's fine. It's pretty much in-line because there are ways to offset it with the Office 365 licensing."
  • "SCCM comes with its own version of SQL Server. If you use that SQL Server with SCCM and don't use it for another applications than you get an SQL Server for free."
  • "The licensing is good because they have various options, depending on what you are looking for."
  • "Pricing is negotiable with Microsoft, depending upon which of their packages you choose."
  • "When you compare this solution with other tools in the market you might actually find a lot of variation in the pricing and that's why people opt for the other tools rather than Microsoft tools."
  • "Its price is okay because it is part of our licensing."
