Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft System Center
We use it to deploy software to several thousand windows 10 computers. Users can see which software is being deployed or was recently deployed to their computer. It is also used to deploy updates to existing installs when it needs to be patched. It is being used across the entire organization.
Pros
- User interface
- Deployment of software
- Tooling usability
Cons
- 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.
- Software deployment
- Self service software installation request
- View status of software installs
- Positive because before users had no visibility to info it shows previously
- Positive since now users can request their own software
- Tivoli Asset Management for IT (Discontinued) and Symantec Client Management Suite
Much better UI for system center. Also, Tivoli was discontinued, so it was an easy decision. Altiris was acquired by Symantec but was unreliable and painful. It's UI was unresponsive and generally outdated. It wouldn't clean up old packages and would hog GB of disk space, leading to even more issues and failed installs.
