Microsoft System Center Service Manager Review
We have more than 400 computers in our company, almost all of them running Windows OS. With Microsoft System Center Service Manager, we are able to manage them all together. We are able to install/uninstall software to all machines at once, install updates, configurations, and also deploy images to the computers. It is a complete package to maintain infrastructure with lots of features available. The tool indeed saves us a lot of time.
- 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!
We use this tool for tracking IT service requests in our organization. We use this specifically as an internal IT tool that we use between technical staff across the company. We also are leveraging this tool to automate some of the more routine items that we run across on a daily basis.
- 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.

- This has saved us money we believe in the long term when it came to the automation pieces of the software package.
- There were some headaches in the beginning when it came to configuring everything that took a bit longer than we preferred.
It has its similarities between the two from a ticketing standpoint but as a primarily Microsoft shop it is nice to have a product that was created to play along with other tools that we are using such as SCCM. We like Jira for the project management tools and Cherwell for their customization but the latter took lots of effort to get that piece working.

MSCSM is a solid tool
Microsoft System Center is used to push software and security updates throughout the organization. The tool is used for a number of reasons including providing consistent updates, saving manpower and, validation of configuration. We save a significant amount of time, using this tool compared to other tools. The system has configuration into Active Directory which helps to have better control of systems
- 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

- The tool has saved money in a transition from another 3rd party tool
- It simplifies the ease of use for users. This is similar to other Microsoft tools
- We are able to provide reports of system performance when questions arise about availability.
We selected MCSM because it is a solid product that we could use very quickly, compared to other tools there is a lot more effort for integration into the infrastructure, costing time and money. We implemented the tool very quickly and since it integrates with other Microsoft products, it was very easy to get up and running.
