Microsoft System Center Service Manager Review
- Simplifies the operations of IT services
- Flexibility in configuration
- Application deployment across Windows machines
- Server and workstation provisioning
- The software requires a lot of memory to run smoothly, otherwise it will be slow.
- It takes some time to learn, and training prices are a bit high.
- The price is a bit high; System Center is not a cheap solution.

Service Manager, Solid overall!
- This tool is used to track support requests among our IT staff.
- We use this tool to automate some more routine tasks.
- It takes a while to configure everything.
- It lacks some more advanced features of other ticketing tools.

Great all inclusive tool, but needs to be babied.
- Remote control.
- Quick info on end users.
- Deploying software.
- Kind of clunky.
- Takes a lot a lot a lot of configuration.
- There is a lot of jargon to learn to be able to use it to its full ability.

MSCSM is a solid tool
- Integration with Microsoft Products
- Availability of 3rd party configurations using the tool
- Very large install base promotes administration familiarity
- Reporting in System Center could be more user-friendly. While the data is there, sometimes several reports have to be run to get what you want
- SCCM would be better making updates to SCCM easier. We see risk in updates, so it causes delays, which creates more risk
- Improving the application deployment log files , making them easier to read

Good ITSM
- Incident management according to SLAs.
- Change management following internally approved processes.
- Reporting.
- Sometimes clients are working slowly and we are not able to find the reason.
- Hardly customizable.
- Need to spend some time to learn the administration part.

SCCM for the win!
- Imaging - Can hold all of your images and allow them to be deployed from one central place
- Patching - Able to manage patches from a central database and have reporting on machines out of compliance
- Reporting - ability to utilize several reports to check compliance and other items you may want to review
- When imaging on occasion the system does not seem to accept your deployment. It may require you to put the image in the machine collection several times before it shows as available.
- Patching seems to go well on the admin side but we have been having some issues with them installing on the user side. It seems like the user gets a message and then they get concerned. I have noticed that if you ignore the message the updates will install at some point. It is always a small percentage of users each time we push a patch but not able to tell why this is happening.
- Deploying software seems to be about a 50/50 success rate. Not sure why and it is almost not worth the headache of using SCCM for this type of deployment. It would be nice if it was working consistently because you could push the software and have it installed on the user's machine without any downtime for the user.

SCSM is the right choice for an IT environment
- Asset management. Before we used a spreadsheet for serial numbers, equipment location, etc. With having a spread out IT staff managing all this equipment, it came apparent real quick we were losing equipment, knowledge of replaced equipment, etc. SCSM resolved this with a better organization method.
- Compliance Management has become an asset with becoming a PCI compliance shop.
- We just started using the workflow optimizer for team asset tracking. These has helped manage who is working on what issues throughout the companies.
- Customization of the service manage data warehouse. This is the primary function for storing lists within the data warehouse.
- The overwhelming functions thrown at you in the beginning. I recommend a course that steps a new user through all the functionality so it doesn't seem impossible task to implement.
