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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The remote access is one of the features I really enjoy. The pushing of email updates and things like that are very good."
"It is one of the most stable solutions in the market."
"The most valuable feature is the reporting of incidents."
"This solution is easy to use."
"The call logging is the solution's most valuable feature. It's very easy to use."
"This product has helped our organization by allowing people to connect with each other."
"The support from Microsoft is good and we also have local support on the ground in Nigeria."
"A very convenient package like an all-in-one tool but it is actually five or six products acting well together."
"The two most valuable features are the portal and reporting."
 

Cons

"It would be good if Microsoft added custom attributes or tagging like in Jamf."
"We would like to see a web-based interface that works on mobile devices."
"They need more integration with open-source products."
"The configuration could be easier."
"Mobile application integration would be an improvement."
"Although some engineers at Microsoft are good, the support often lacks expertise, and response times are slow."
"It's not too hard to compile stuff but it is hard to manage the solution. Even the design itself makes it difficult for management."
"Once we had an issue with a desktop download that would not open."
"It needs better integration with other tools like Jira."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is a lower price vs. other things on the market."
"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 pricing is reasonable."
"Licensing can be complex and confusing."
"The price of the solution could be better. My organization has an enterprise annual license with Microsoft which provides us support."
"It is an expensive solution."
"The price should be lower."
"The license for SCSM is cheap."
"The price is approximately $70 per agent, per month."
