Pros
  • Patch Management.
  • Image creation and deployment.
  • Software packaging and deployment.
  • Antivirus dat file management and deployment.
Cons
  • Modernize the interface.
  • Simplify everything it does and cross-connect all bits of the software so you can do tasks linearly.
  • Make the UI web based and get away from a client gui.

Microsoft System Center
5 years of experience
Pros
  • 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.
Cons
  • 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.
