Microsoft System Center vs. TeamDynamix IT Service Management (ITSM)

For companies with more than 10 Windows devices and needing to standardize the OS, AV, access, share resources, and install software. SCCM is the way to go. This software is unnecessary if the business is all remote users and not in an office-type setting. There are cloud offerings or none to accomplish what a business needs.

TeamDynamix is great for any organization that has established any kind of support group, whether it's in IT, project management, facilities, etc. This tool can also aid in tracking decision making with its change management abilities. The added knowledge base system is also a huge improvement to any company, as there is now a searchable database of information that use to only live in other people's minds. If you are willing to put the effort and work into the system, it can prove to be a very valuable addition to your toolbelt.

It is not user-friendly for the most part. With IT infrastructure, sometimes it cannot handle excess requests. Every few months, you will need an upgrade in terms of server resources to keep up with incoming alerts and requests. This does not happen all of the time, but it does happen when there are too many requests.

If I had to dislike something about the system it would be how much it changes once you upgrade. This could be more of a problem of mine since I get used to one way and don't like it when it changes so much. I am enjoying the newest update, but it is a mess when you are actually going through the upgrades.

We previously used a mix of FOG and Clonezilla to image machines. The biggest issues with these products is that changing one piece of the image required you to rebuild the entire image itself. These pieces of software also did not allow you to manage applications and Windows Updates, causing IT to have to constantly touch machines after they were imaged and update or manage them with a much more hands on approach.

• We have already been able to have insight into how many tickets for service requests we do in any particular time frame. We were surprised to find that we had as many as 300 tickets on our small support team in just a month's time.
• We can centrally locate all of our how-to documents and other information that usually lives just in the memories of our employees. We have hundreds of documents that will now not be spread over Teams, workstations, and document folders but will be centrally located and searchable for years to come.
