"I like the encryption and security of LogMeIn. I think the end-to-end security on it, in and of itself, is really good. I use the two-point login system and it's great."
"No issues with stability. It has worked on every platform I’ve tried it on, and not interfered with anything."
"I would not want to tell other companies about it because it is so powerful, it does so much, and it makes me look so good."
"It allows you to transfer along with many other functions."
"The initial setup was simple."
"I like being able to dial in and transfer files for updates."
"The ability to remotely access machines with no user intervention required at the remote terminal. Other software we used needed someone to click a link and do a download for me to provide support. Now, with LogMeIn Central, I can get in and fix things while they are away from their desks."
"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."
"Technical support was helpful and responsive."
"The cloud account management is a valuable feature."
"Microsoft Configuration Manager gives different tools in one solution."
"Microsoft has done a good job with authentication solutions, such as single sign-on, or open authentication."
"The main, clear valuable feature is updating the latest, patches and updates from Windows. This is the main feature we really utilize a lot."
"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."
"The scalability to deploy the package."
"It's not really a true RMM product but more of just a remote access."
"It needs backwards compatibility for non-Microsoft-supported operating systems, for example, XP and 2003. In situations where I have no options but to run older operating systems, I would like for it to be backwards compatible."
"File transfer on the free version needs improvement. Allow file transfer with drag and drop to and from Remote Desktop. "
"Our clients are having issues with printing."
"Do not use the technical support."
"Sometimes it just fails to load."
"The screen. Make it clearer. The screen resolutions don't always line up. So clarity of the screen, and speed."
"The update issues are an absolute pain. It says it is updating things, but the updates do not go through, and you try your hardest to get the updates to go through and they don't. You go to the PC, but there is no update there, then you go back and it says there are updates."
"The reports are too busy. They could be simpler. I'm a technician, so I don't care how pretty the reports look. They should be easy to read. I'm designing this for production folks. They need to read the reports quickly when they're patching in the middle of the night."
"The TSM component could be improved."
"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 deployment process is lengthy and should be quicker to complete."
"The analysis is something that can be integrated. Their report analysis can be improved a little bit due to the fact that most of the time complaints policies are saved by the admins. It's something that we need to look into and search for."
"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."
"The main room for improvement is the on-screen display. I think it would be good if some improvements were made."
"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."
