Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft System Center

The system center is used for several different things. We use it to deploy software and images to all of the machines on our network. We also use it for patch management and security updates. It also has several tools that can be helpful from the IT side to be able to assist end users better and get the information that you need without interrupting the end user.
  • 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.
  • Less time managing machine.
  • Remote work, less staff needed.
  • Easier to image with less training.
I have not had any experience with another system that you would image computers other than manually imaging them locally with an image.
This is well suited for a medium to larger size company that is looking to create and manage a computer image that is uniform across the company. It is also nice because you are able to do everything remote from the user and don't have to be there in person. This is really nice when someone needs software and you can just deploy it. There are sometimes when the connection is lost between the host and SCCM and you have to see them in person to sync things back up. Sometimes there is also some delay but that may be something on our network side even though I don't experience any delays in everything else I am doing on the network at that time which makes me think that SCCM may run slow at times.
