What is Microsoft Endpoint Manager (Microsoft Intune + SCCM)?
Microsoft Endpoint Manager, combining the capabilities of the former Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager, SCCM or ConfigMgr with the mobile device management application Microsoft Intune, is presented as a unified endpoint management option.
The former Microsoft Intune is an endpoint management solution for mobile devices, an MDM solution that allows the user to securely manage iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS devices with a single endpoint management solution.
The component Endpoint Configuration Manager (the former SCCM) is a system monitoring and management platform that can be deployed as an agent, via the cloud, or on-premises. It can manage systems across OS types (Windows, Mac, Linux), as well as multiple environments, including servers, virtual environments, and mobile devices from a single management console, and supports scaling capabilities, such as future application delivery.

A close to perfect MDM solution
- It is a good addition to my O365 IT infrastructure
- Still lacks some of the features I need managing 3rd party software updates and deployments
- Easy to deploy and setup

Microsoft Endpoint Manager takes the headaches out of enterprise mobile device management
- Leveraging Microsoft Endpoint Manager has allowed us to free up administrative resources to focus on higher-level projects and tasks rather than day-to-day administration of mobile devices.
- Having the ability to remotely wipe devices that are lost or stolen has improved our company's security posture.
- Included in the O365 Subscription so ROI is great.
- Management is minimal.
- Exponentially decreased time spent visiting each device
- Automated time consuming installations
- Took over as inventory solution
- Because it comes with Microsoft 365 Business Premium it has had a positive ROI
- Many features bundled into one allows us to reduce license costs and stay within the Microsoft ecosystem
- No negative impact on ROI
- The automation has proved hugely beneficial for things such as imaging, application deployment, and compliance policies
- Easy upgrade path from SCCM alone.
- Facilitates Working from Home,(both staff and clients).
- Delay in information update can be frustrating and lead to delays.
- The utilization of SCCM makes sense for our organization since we are mostly a Microsoft shop.
- Once configured, the SCCM application really helps make it easy to deploy our security patches and Windows updates with minimal effort.

Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) Review
- Positive would be one place for patching, imaging, and application deployment.
- Negative. Training is required to make full use of the product.

The one to beat for Windows application deployment and patching
- Dependable Patching- Being able to depend on your patching, being able to prove that patching has taken place are both critically important to any Enterprise.
- Quickly Patching Serious Vulnerabilities - Some threats spread like wildfire, and being able to counteract them quickly, is important to prevent serious harm to any organization.

Microsoft Intune Review
- Already own it with Office 365 and EMS subscription.
- Better user experience leads to more productive end-users.
- The positive impact it's had was it has been really beneficial in having an all-in-one Systems Management solution to be able to manage all endpoints across the organization. This has saved both time and costs from having to search/setup/manage other System Management applications and also have saved money from having to purchase a license for other commercial products.
- Another positive impact it has had was in being able to easily remote into computers/endpoints, and also being able to provide remote assistance to end-users.
- The negative impact has been it is not being fully utilized by most of the IT staff, as it is a more complicated platform to learn/master. This would require funding for IT staff to take training in learning the product, or require time to consult the documentation in the use of the product. As a result, this may hurt productivity in being able to have to work on other things.

Microsoft Intune - a great option for device management
- We've improved the control of each device.
- We were able to manage updates.
- We were able to secure the sales process quickly.

Relax and let SCCM do the job for you to do other stuff
- We have various retails shops around the country and have reduced the travel bill for our Help desk team who now support our remote retail centers centrally.
- Help Desk does not have so much work in patching as it is done centrally.
- Help Desk does not have to manually install Operating System images manually for many machines and this has reduced their work load and enables them to do other tasks.
- We have visibility on which machines' endpoint protection client is behind on security signatures.

Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager does it all, but you need to know how to do it, which has a learning curve
- It's saved countless amounts of tech debt in wasted hours that require on-site support techs to install a new version of an app manually.
- System Center Configuration Manager imaging task sequences are amazing once properly implemented, and save countless hours of manual labor.
- One negative impact is when the scope of a package is incorrectly done by an engineer, stopping that moving train is not as simple as turning it off. It takes time, and getting reports back of all PCs affected is not always accurate.

Very powerful and hard to work with
- As an educational institution, we got System Center licenses bundled with other software at essentially no cost. It was a great advantage of System Center Configuration Manager for us.
- The included remote control feature is useful -- many deployment solutions do not have that included.
- Zero-touch deployment will save a lot of work hours for a large organization when it works properly, as there is no need for manual intervention for OS deployment.
- We are able to support hundreds of computers per FTE more than if we did not have an automation tool.
- It took longer to get running than initially planned.
- Issues with the original setup have come back and groups have needed to be reworked.
- It has allowed us to be in compliance with the patching requirements set by the audit.
- We can save money and time giving end-users the ability to install/remote only approved software on their own PCs. That avoids expensive tickets on our service desk.
- We can save bandwidth having those distribution points on remote sites. Depending on the location, if it's far from metropolitan areas, bandwidth is still expensive. So, less bandwidth, less WAN circuit expenses, save money.
- As a 'not so negative impact', but it's necessary to say that you must manage the system frequently. What I'm trying to say is that you must have someone to be if not dedicated to that, at least, run daily due to dillegence to make sure the system is running Ok. Although you can automate some tasks, it's not an autonomous system. It needs some attention.

Microsoft SCCM may not be the ROI you are looking for, but the product helps your admins
- I think it isn't as cost-effective as we originally thought, but it does save time when running properly. And being an admin, it is nice to have.
