Enhanced remote functionality complements intricate admin management
We are using it as co-management, working from SCCM and some from Intune. However, there are dissimilarities between SCCM and Intune, so we use SCCM for specific tasks or policies Currently, with the system, we have some remote tool functionality which is not available with Intune. We are also…

Stable, easy to install, and cost effective, but it needs better integration and data management
It needs better integration with other tools like Jira. Better reporting and better data management are also needed. I believe the way they're structured is the flat file. So it'd be better if they actually used a database for the data storage, and a more robust portal. I would like more flexible reporting.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It is quite scalable."
"We use SCSM to manage all of our IT operations, including incident and service requests and problem management."
"The solution offers good productivity at a low price point."
"The solution is quite easy to integrate with other Microsoft products."
"We've been in contact with Microsoft technical support mainly. After doing the research ourselves and troubleshooting, etc., if we can't find a permanent solution, we contact Microsoft to help us fix the issue. Sometimes the issue never gets fixed even by Microsoft. It can sometimes require us to reinstall the solution. However, these are very rare instances."
"The most valuable feature is the reporting of incidents."
"The most requested feature from our customers is the helpdesk ticketing system."
"The reporting is very good."
"The two most valuable features are the portal and reporting."
 

Cons

"We would like to see a web-based interface that works on mobile devices."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"We have had some issues with the SCSM on-premise deployment version in the imaging aspects."
"Resources for understanding compliance and relative compliance need to be made available."
"One of the disadvantages in this product is that the reporting module is not very easy. It requires SQL development skills, which not all customers or IT professionals have."
"They might be looking for additional functionalities that SCSM could integrate."
"The product needs to improve its integration with other tools. It also needs to have a better UI and a simple dashboard."
"Although some engineers at Microsoft are good, the support often lacks expertise, and response times are slow."
"It needs better integration with other tools like Jira."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license for SCSM is cheap."
"The platform is competitively priced."
"I would rate the pricing as two out of five."
"Licensing can be complex and confusing."
"The price should be lower."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The price of the solution could be better. My organization has an enterprise annual license with Microsoft which provides us support."
"It comes free with the enterprise agreement that we have, but the expense really is in having to buy another product to sit on top of it to make it work properly. You wind up having to buy additional support and additional product with their own support and maintenance costs on top of that."
"The price is approximately $70 per agent, per month."
