Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, HCLTech, Kaseya and others in Patch Management."The Ivanti Neurons for Patch Intelligence's most valuable feature is simplicity. When deployed in our environment, the standout aspect is the ease of installation across different offices. For example, in a location with 150 users, we only need to install the agent on one machine. From there, it scans the entire network, identifying components on computers, laptops, desktops, and more. We can view the results and easily push updates."
"Valuable features include configurations enforcement, compliance data gathering, and deployment of a standardized OS."
"Microsoft Configuration Manager gives different tools in one solution."
"The main, clear valuable feature is updating the latest, patches and updates from Windows. This is the main feature we really utilize a lot."
"Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager is valuable in keeping our systems updated. We are able to send updates to all the systems. Additionally, the Intune integration is helpful."
"There is a faster time to rollout. If we get a new PC, it can be ready for productivity right away."
"The most valuable feature is the scalability."
"This solution helps us by automating the patching of our system."
"Technical support was helpful and responsive."
"Ivanti Neurons for Patch Intelligence needs to improve reporting."
"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 setup was complex and I faced a lot of problems initially because I was new to the solution."
"The product needs to improve scalability."
"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."
"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."
"SCCM should strive to enhance the accuracy of its reporting functions in order to avoid any issues with incorrect or inaccurate data."
"It is not easy to get good technical support, especially at level one."
"The downside of Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager is it's an on-premise-based solution. With the pandemic coming on board the need to support users across the globe has increased. For a while, we would use the in-built Microsoft Teams screen sharing feature but the disadvantage of that is you cannot perform privileged access. Microsoft does not give you access to that. That's where you need cloud-based tools, such as BeyondTrust or Freshservice."
