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 solution has improved our organization through the provision of efficient resource utilization and capacity planning."
"This is a good product and I recommend it."
"The managing and monitoring are the solution's most valuable features. They are something I find quite helpful in my work."
"The interface is in continuous development and improves version by version."
"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."
"What's valuable is the basic management of the systems, being able to control who can access the systems."
"It lets you know what your infrastructure is like and what state you are in."
"The cloud account management is a valuable feature."
"The most valuable features are Remote Connect, SUP, Cloud functionality, Report, Query, and third-party patching."
"Technical support was helpful and responsive."
"The main, clear valuable feature is updating the latest, patches and updates from Windows. This is the main feature we really utilize a lot."
"This has made the management of our environment easier."
"The initial setup is straightforward and not too complicated."
"The product should increase the processing capacity and allow speedy deployment, as both of them are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The quality of service and support for this solution needs to be improved."
"The return on investment report is too difficult to understand."
"I think that support integration could be improved."
"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."
"Our customers would like to see the price lowered."
"The tool's deployment is complex and depends on the architecture you want to implement."
"The availability of technical support could improve."
"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."
"It would be nice to have everything in one place. Now they have Intune for the desktops and SCCM to handle their servers."
"Microsoft should extend support for additional platforms."
"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."
"It would be of benefit if Configuration Manager could be connected/integrated with multiple Microsoft Intune subscriptions rather than just one (the current limit)."
"Not everything is readily available, and there are a lot of commands that are only executable via PowerShell."
