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."This is a good product and I recommend it."
"The interface is in continuous development and improves version by version."
"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 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."
"SCCM does everything from A to Z for a Windows operating system."
"It gives us the ability to set up schedules, according to what our security requirements are, to automate the patching of our servers and desktops."
"I like a lot of the reporting capabilities and baseline configurations."
"The technical support is good."
"The initial setup is fairly straightforward."
"This solution captures all the devices in our infrastructure."
"The ease of usability is the most valuable feature. It's user-friendly."
"It lets you know what your infrastructure is like and what state you are in."
"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."
"The quality of service and support for this solution needs to be improved."
"Our customers would like to see the price lowered."
"The product should increase the processing capacity and allow speedy deployment, as both of them are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"I think that support integration could be improved."
"The return on investment report is too difficult to understand."
"In spite of us being a premier customer we find the support unsatisfactory."
"The time the solution takes for updating systems could be quicker. For example, the system information status is not updating as it should. Additionally, the database synchronization querying is slow and could be improved."
"The solution can be improved by speeding up the synchronizing of the policies on the devices."
"With Microsoft Premier Support, you get what you pay for. There's Third Tier Support that you pay for. If you pay for that, you get excellent support, and if you don't pay for that, then you get the less experienced staff."
"Marketing: Our management doesn't understand that there is a piece of software which helps them automate and manage the entire network, as far as operating systems on computers."
"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 database should be made to be more stable and robust, but not so much the configuration."
"There is a reboot issue with the patching. Sometimes, if patching runs into any issue whatsoever, it doesn't reboot but it doesn't tell you it errored out. It just sits there and we don't find out until the next day whether it patched or not. That was a big issue for us. We're working through that. They added some stuff in there now where you can actually tell reboot is pending. But we still need some kind of notification that if something fails or is pending, we know. We shouldn't have to go in and look. They don't have anything for that right now."
