Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft System Center

We are using System Center products including System Center Configuration Manager, System Center Operations Manager & System Center Endpoint Security Manager. The role of Systems Center Configurations Manager is to deploy windows updates, operating system images & custom software packages for clients and servers, we have deployed automatic deployment rules to deploy windows updates to windows clients, for servers we deploy manually only security patches, Windows 10 and other operating systems have answer files attached to the deployment which reduce interaction with support staff. End point security manager is deployed on servers to ensure proper antivirus update and security for servers, through operations manger we have automated a lot of tasks that were previously done through group policies and task scheduling.

Pros

  • Deployment of Windows Updates through SCCM
  • Deployment of Operating System through SCCM
  • Deployment of Application Packages through SCCM
  • Automation of task through SCOM
  • Deployment & Management of Antivirus through SCEPM

Cons

  • Reporting in SCCM
  • Automatic Deployment Rules in SCCM
  • Operating System Deployment
  • Patches Deployment
  • Applications Deployment
  • Automation of Task
  • Antivirus
  • It reduced the amount of time to push patches
  • it increased endpoint security and compliance
  • reduced down time by quickly deploying operating system on affected systems.
We are using Microsoft products for a long time, so the overall confidence played a part in the decision, the feature set and licensing cost was also very high when compared with above products, so we decided to use System Center for our environment, so far it has solved many of our problems and reduced effort and time to maintain compliance and devices.
