We use Endpoint manager to manage all the windows devices in the organization, both shared and 1:1 from a central IT department over 100 different sites. It allows us to consistently apply policies, maintain security and track inventory at a distance. It allows us to control our onboarding of new devices, imaging said devices, and deliver software, updates in a consistent manner.

We used Microsoft endpoint manager to manage applications on mobile devices under the MAM settings. We used it to setup, manage and protect data in the office 365 platform of applications on mobile devices.

A close to perfect MDM solution
First off let me clarify my product review only covers Microsoft Intune now called Microsoft Endpoint Manager. I used it to manage all of macOS and Windows 10 computers to deploy apps, compliance policies, configuration profiles, Windows autopilot, and to onboard my devices to Microsoft Defender for Endpoint.
Used to deploy, manage and monitor mobile devices (mostly mobile phones) and client computers. Great for mobile phones which are usually very hard to manage, especially when you have a mixture of Android and IOs devices that need to manage and protect.
Our organization uses Microsoft endpoint manager on our campus to supply updates , security patches , install applications and inventory devices seamlessly to 1500 users. SCCM addresses the issue of having technicians touch each individual device across our campus. We are able to isolate different graduating years and install necessary applications pertaining to each individual group with in the console. Each year we have to reimage each individual device and also add devices for incoming students, Microsoft Endpoint manager has simplified this process by being able to create a golden image than can be applied to different make and model of devices.
Microsoft Endpoint Manager (Microsoft Intune + SCCM) is used in various ways in my company and the companies I'm an MSP for. Mostly it is used in Microsoft 365 Business Premium environments and it does a great job of gathering end point information as well as give us the ability to push out Microsoft Desktop apps and Microsoft Edge as well as other apps. It's also nice that I can setup specific configurations and settings for Windows, 365 desktop apps, and Edge just like when using Group Policy for on premise servers and PCs. But using Microsoft Endpoint Manager (Microsoft Intune + SCCM) is much easier to use and implement.
We use [Microsoft] Endpoint Manager [(Microsoft Intune + SCCM)] for all of our workstations that are either hybrid Azure AD joined or simply Azure joined devices. We also use it to manage iDevices. We have used SCCM for several years now, and when Intune announced the co-management capability, we made the transition very quickly. There are certain elements that Intune does not handle, such as bare metal imaging, but otherwise we have moved all workloads to Intune while maintaining our SCCM on prem. This covers device compliance, WSUS, application deployment, configuration profiles, etc.
We currently utilize [Microsoft Endpoint Manager (Microsoft Intune + SCCM)] across most of our organization. We recently acquired a different business and are in the process of trying to get SCCM deployed to that side. We primarily utilize this to help ensure patching/updates are pushed out on a timely basis for our systems.

Great for Cloud Management
We are in the process of transitioning from Group Policy over to Microsoft Endpoint Manager. We are using it for controlling our policies and setting up our standard operating environment. as well as application deployment. It allows us to standardize what we are doing and automate IT functions, freeing up valuable resources to be better spent elsewhere.

Intune - A powerful MDM tool for Office 365 users
Microsoft Intune is used to provide corporate data access via email app and other mobile apps on the mobile device of an employee. Intune enables the use of a personal mobile device to access emails and other official data in a secure environment where the IT team has full control over the flow of information. It is used throughout the organization where employees are eligible for email access via mobile. The business does not have to worry about data leakage and it provide 24/7 access to emails to employees.

The one to beat for Windows application deployment and patching
We use SCCM for application and Windows desktop, laptop, and server patching. We accompany it with the PatchMyPC addons, so we can update the majority of applications we use for end-users.
We also use it to deploy security software.

Microsoft Intune Review
We use it for mobile device management, mobile application management, Mac OS management, and Windows 10 management. I have also converted GPO to Intune Policies for Windows 10 devices. The Bitlocker key is also being managed by Intune. I set up the company portal for self-services application installs.
It is being used both across the whole organization and at the department levels. It is centrally managed by the main IT group in the organization, and then individual departments have their own instance of SCCM to be able to use to manage resources/deploy software, etc. It addresses the business problem of having a central Systems Management solution that can pretty much do most everything, including managing all hardware endpoints, managing software, monitoring, asset management, managing antimalware and firewall policies, etc. in an organization.

Microsoft Intune - a great option for device management
We needed to deploy a point of sale on mobile devices and we wanted to have a clear control over what the device could do, so we looked for an MDM.

Relax and let SCCM do the job for you to do other stuff
It is used by two departments, enterprise services (e.g Infrastructure Administration, Email, Sharepoint, etc) and Help Desk.

Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager does it all, but you need to know how to do it, which has a learning curve
SCCM is used across our entire organization. We use it for zero-day remediations, as well as large scale package deployments. It saves the company an immense amount of hours wasted for on-site support team members having to manually install packages. We can also pull reports of software versions across our environment and deploy patches accordingly for any PC that's out of compliance.

Very powerful and hard to work with
System Center Configuration Manager was used as a solution for OS deployment, remote troubleshooting, and patch management for Windows PCs in our organization. The plan was to use it to manage close to a thousand PCs in total. As the product required an excessive number of man-hours to implement and support, its use was dropped after a year, and an alternative selected. The main goal was to improve OS deployment and replace WDS.
We use SCCM for a number of different use cases including imaging, OS and software deployments, inventory and desktop management. Its primary function is to push new software to the fleet. The benefit is being able to time when and what gets deployed and make it done in an automated fashion. We also use it to manage to patch existing software packages (in conjunction with a product called Ninite).
Across all of IT, SCCM is used for deployment of software as well as Windows patching. It is used for both server patches as well as workstation patches—both laptop and desktop—on a monthly basis. It handles the patch process much more efficiently than its predecessor here—WSUS.
Currently, we're using Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager to manage all our Windows assets, from PCs to laptops. Considering we use it across all organization, and we have a dozen of remote sites, some of them with distribution points, I can safely say that we solve basically 2 big business problem: We can manage all of those assets from a single pane of glass, delivering software with software-central feature, managing and keeping a eye on the status of those updates and also saving bandwidth at the same time, because we can deploy those software and updates from that distribution point, avoiding to have every single PC/laptop to download from the Internet itself.

Microsoft SCCM may not be the ROI you are looking for, but the product helps your admins
Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager is used for imaging our computers, but it is also used to deploy policies and software packages to specific users or groups.
By utilizing Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager, the IT admins spend less time manually installing applications for our end users. It allows us to centrally manage what is being deployed to the computers in our environment and run reports on the computers and what is installed on them.

Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager is great for medium sized businesses and up
It is very effective for simple tasks such as pushing out Windows updates, Defender updates, and a large array of other software. We have also started using it for servicing Windows 10 computers. With the modern life cycle of Windows 10 being more aggressive then past versions, it has been extremely handy to use Windows 10 servicing to keep our computers running the latest builds of Windows 10.
System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM)is being used across the whole organization on all of our Windows computers and our dual booted Mac computers. SCCM addresses the problem of having to have more employees to be available for hands on installing and updating any software that SCCM allows the user to do without another employee finding time to do it for them.
We use Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) globally across over 40 countries and over 15000 clients on Windows Operating Systems. It is our enterprise software deployment solution as well as software management for enterprise wide desktops and servers. We have previously used WSUS and Altaris but SCCM allowed us to combine them into a single seamless platform providing us with much greater scalability as well as better reporting of software deployment and management status.
