It is easy to maintain SUSE Manager if you have a deep knowledge of the solution. At the test level, we found that we are facing issues with some things. When we were doing the installation, we faced some issues with the environment they provided. The main advice would be to go through the centralized monitoring and management they provide. SUSE manager handles the seamless management of various client systems, such as SUSE Linux, openSUSE, and Red Hat. It is a bit difficult to manage while handling all these things. They should work on the documentation initially because documentation is very important. If there is a lack of clarity in documentation, it becomes a problem. Overall, I rate SUSE Manager an eight out of ten.

I am a SUSE partner. I have a central server and then I'm connected to the VPN. That way, I can connect to all different customers. I'd advise new users to certainly read the documentation, as that's what I tend to skip. However, it's an important step. Try to automate as much as you can. One of the most powerful things that I noticed when I arrived, was that it was underutilized, and there are all of these automation capabilities that SUSE Manager has. It's saved just so much time for me. I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten.

We are not SUSE partners. I am implementing the SUSE Manager on one of our clients on their side. For those with a Linux environment, it's a good solution, and I would recommend it. It makes it easy to manage patches, update reboot servers, and run commands. I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.
The SUSE environment runs seamlessly. The solution is very easy to maintain. SUSE Manager can manage multiple operating systems. Some Red Hat configuration tools only allow you to maintain Red Hat-related servers. However, SUSE Manager allows you to control Red Hat servers, SUSE Enterprise Linux, CentOS, Open SUSE, and Ubuntu, which is something new that other tools do not support. I would say that SUSE Manager is the best solution for maintaining the Linux environment. I would rate SUSE Manager as 10 out of 10.

Just to add to reviewer1715967's comment.
I always recommend that the customer have a clear vision of what it is they want/need to support their business better and improve the IT service to business. SUSE Manager is a great solution to simplify/automate tasks, free up user/engineer time, improve governance and management, and improve visibility across all Linux distros.
I would recommend that the user engage with SUSE or a SUSE partner to show them the most value out of the solution. Usually they have expertise and experience that might show the user a use case that might add value to their organization. Also, they have the technical skills to answer some difficult questions and help you gain the most value out of the solution at a greater pace.
If they are a bit shy about it, they can download it for free from the SUSE website and run it in-house. If they choose this option, I really recommend viewing the documentation and other video material available on various platforms.
As with ANY solution, one needs time and effort to get the most out of it.
