We performed a comparison between HPE System Management and Microsoft Configuration Manager based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."The product's initial setup phase is easy with the help of the framework consisting of Microsoft Azure."
"I think it's stable, scalable, and flexible."
"The interface is in continuous development and improves version by version."
"This is a good product and I recommend it."
"This solution has improved our organization through the provision of efficient resource utilization and capacity planning."
"The managing and monitoring are the solution's most valuable features. They are something I find quite helpful in my work."
"The scalability to deploy the package."
"It is a good choice for deployment that performs very well."
"The solution is highly scalable."
"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."
"The major features of this product are the reporting tools. The most valuable features are package deployment and application deployment. Security management is also good because any vulnerability will be identified, and you can fix it. It's the best tool because you never know what kind of client you will have. For example, you may have your offices in low bandwidth remote areas. But it's achievable because it accommodates the bandwidth that you have available. Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager is an excellent reporting tool for your environment. If you want to know the details about the hardware configuration, software configuration, what is causing a problem, or when a new feature update comes in for Windows, even that goes on SCCM itself. A lot of deployment stuff."
"Valuable features include configurations enforcement, compliance data gathering, and deployment of a standardized OS."
"One of the standout features of SCCM is its application management capabilities. It allows us to create packages efficiently and deploy them to specific groups within our network. This streamlined process has significantly improved our software distribution workflows."
"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."
"The quality of service and support for this solution needs to be improved."
"I think that support integration could be improved."
"Our customers would like to see the price lowered."
"The return on investment report is too difficult to understand."
"The product should increase the processing capacity and allow speedy deployment, as both of them are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"If the solution could provide better integration to make it easier to manage everything on different servers, that would be helpful. Whatever servers a company has, be it IBM, Dell, etc., if the System Management could be a platform that links all of them together, it would make management across different server types easier."
"I would like to see more automation."
"It should provide the ability to remotely connect to mobile devices. There are some solutions that are doing that, but with Microsoft Intune, the only way to remotely connect to devices outside the organization and mobile devices is by using TeamViewer. It is pretty strange for a big company like Microsoft to not have something for that."
"Microsoft should extend support for additional platforms."
"They need to improve the support for the Mac operating system."
"Our company would prefer not rebooting computers while people are using them. There seems to be no strategy behind it."
"The solution is on-premises. The cloud version of the product, if a person needs to be on the cloud, would be InTune, which already exists as an option. SCCM doesn't need to offer cloud features for this reason."
"I currently need to increase my compliance level in the patching processes which this solution could improve on."
"Troubleshooting in general needs improvement. There's just a ton of logs to go through, and so finding the error log that corresponds with that you're doing can sometimes be difficult."
