Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Microsoft, ServiceNow and others in Server Monitoring."I like its ease of use. It does what you need it to do, and it's a one-stop-shop for the company and for all your deployments. If you incorporate Intune into it, you can have both. You can bring your own devices and corporate devices, and everything runs out of SCCM and Intune."
"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 most valuable feature of this solution is its ability to deploy patches to nearly all applications."
"Endpoint Manager is valuable to our organization because it allows us to connect to our enterprise from remote locations securely. The most useful feature is its robustness and scalability. It is highly scalable and flexible, allowing us to use it in various environments. Additionally, we can specialize the policies related to each device group. This ensures that each group has access to the applications they need for their work and non-work hours."
"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 solution is highly scalable."
"Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager is very scalable."
"SCCM does everything from A to Z for a Windows operating system."
"It has the capability to display overall health of the infrastructure and is very useful for executive reports on the health of the infrastructure."
"We use the on-premises version to monitor our systems and manage emails. All our systems use Operations Bridge, especially the critical systems."
"The correlation feature is the most used feature. It allows you to correlate events from different sources and have more meaningful events."
"It has greatly reduced the number and duration of outages as support teams are notified immediately when something goes wrong or even before something breaks."
"From our monitoring perspective or from a visibility perspective, HPE UCMDB is a must have. It's an amazing piece of software."
"The most valuable feature is that everything can be consolidated into one dashboard."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to integrate with everything."
"It is stable."
"They need to improve the support for the Mac operating system."
"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 solution does not support remote devices so the CMG is still required."
"Management of Linux devices could be improved."
"It would be nice to have everything in one place. Now they have Intune for the desktops and SCCM to handle their servers."
"Some of the capabilities aren't fully developed yet. It's an ongoing work in progress. I think they are making some steps in the right direction as far as managing workstations centrally, like Intune."
"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."
"The product needs to improve scalability."
"The initial setup is a little bit complex."
"The pricing could be improved."
"The solution is overall "heavy", requiring multiple servers, even without HA."
"In a future release, we would like an improved upgrade process. When you upgrade it now, it first uninstalls everything and then reinstalls all the packages, which means any customization that you've done in the directories on the surface disappears."
"Reporting has to be tackled a bit more. Conceptually, it is there and conceptually it is amazing, but somehow the module itself is suffering."
"The setup process can get a little bit complex."
"I'm not aware of areas that need improvement."
"Remove the dependency of Java technology. This is a feature used for admin purposes to update the modeling."
