Microsoft System Center in REVIEW 2022
- Ease of use
- Suite of application makes it a one stop shop for all the infrastructure needs
- Onboarding and offboarding of users and devices are very easy
- Need more comprehensive documentation and Wiki pages
- The learning path can be a little difficult for beginners
- Pricing can be a little more competitive
- it is easy to use security groups in the install polices and other polices.
- Install method is often complex.
- If you make a mistake in the settings, it will break. You will have to re-build.

Microsoft System Center helps your IT
- Compatible with a variety of devices and systems.
- End-users can use different apps and devices that fit their requirements.
- Internal automation team can perform their tasks efficiently.
- The scale of different devices.
- High learning curve.
- Need training to use the product.
- Allows the grouping of devices by user.
- Allows controlling updates being deployed to user devices.
- Allows for the repurposing of machines by being able to load new or updated software on machines that already are in the system.
- Allows us the ability to wipe a machine clean and restore it back to the configuration that was assigned the machine.
- The end-user should be able to update the base system (SCCM) much easier than is currently allowed.
- Searching across the different levels of device groups would make locating a single computer much easier.
- Because our version is an older release this concern may have already been resolved. Often after we've done considerable re-imaging our unit requires a reboot to bring all of the services back online.

Many features to make IT life easier
- Remote PC connection

- Imaging PCs

Gets the job done, well-integrated
- User interface
- Deployment of software
- Tooling usability
- Needs web based storefront for requesting new software
- Needs ability to manage the packaging work flow better
- Sometimes is slow to download and there is no indication the entire catalog is being loaded, resulting in confused users not being able to find common software in the available list.

Microsoft System Center: Update Quickly and Efficiently
- Provides our users the ability to deploy and manage our own datacenter based on defined software with understandable solutions for storage, compute, networking and security.
- We are able to update at once all the computers from all departments without having to install the OS on every computer.
- It allows us to have everything in one place for database management and datacenter inspection as well.
- Implementation was a struggle, and although I was not here for it, that is what most people said.
- It is not user-friendly, not easy for someone who has not used it before.

System Center Rocks!
- Very easy to configure.
- You can control how much bandwidth you want to use across the wire.
- You can have branches if you don’t want to make deployments over the WAN.
- More seamless integration. I feel like Microsoft can do better when it comes to configuring some features within System Center.

SCCM and SCSM together to rule our world
- It is completely tied and integrated with the Microsoft ecosystems.
- Its ability to deploy and manage based on criteria is broad and helps identify the right collections for the right software.
- It allows us to stay current with the ever changing MS infrastructure.
- It is big. Microsoft Big. As a result you really have to know what you are doing. Set up precautions so that you don't image or deploy things to the wrong groups.
- It is click intensive.
- The UI could be simplified.

Centralized management of your data center.
- ease of management
- complete overview of the infrastructure
- unique and centralized console
- differentiated licenses depending on whether you have VMs or physical servers
- license prices too different between VMs and physical servers
- initial configuration not very fast

Using SCCM to save time and gain consistency
- Image deployment.
- Patch management.
- Remote management.
- Sometimes it seems to take several times to get things added or changed in the system. For instance we have to add the OS that we want to me deployed a couple times.
- Can have some time delay when using it.
- Some management tools may be unavailable at certain times.

Makes life easier.
- Storing drivers for our different model computers we have.
- Being able to have central server for Windows Patches
- The system analyzer is also a great tool to see what security risks our computers we deploy have.
- Injecting the correct drivers could be a little easier.
April 13, 2017
SCCM IS great, here is why!
- I love being able to image the different machine setups we have with one system.
- I also love being able to manipulate windows settings without having to use group policy.
- Patch management and taking over WSUS is a great feature.
- More detailed information on where installs are at.
- Easier and more granular reporting would be nice.
- Ease of use.

Private Cloud with Microsoft System Center
- System Center Orchestrator - best tool for automation I have ever used.
- System Center Virtual Machine Manager - nice way to manage your hyper v and VMware infrastructure.
- VMM - currently you can't build vm from Linux template and customize the vm if you are running VMware on backend.
- Service Manager - email notification could be better, for a lot of notifications we need to use Orchestrator.
