Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager

We use SCCM to deploy software packages and images, manage anti-virus solutions and track individual clients on the network. The IT department manages SCCM but all of the clients in the organization are connected and managed through the system. We were able to build some solutions that allowed tech support to instantly pull up information on a client and see vital stats at a glance. This makes software and hardware troubleshooting easier for the techs that have thousands of clients to support.
  • Deploy Images
  • Monitor network and system health
  • Deploy software packages based on user permissions
  • Imaging takes longer than it did with previous solution.
  • The client-side setup takes a long time to establish a connection after an image, delays software deployment
  • The software deployment solution has saved time and money because a single user can manage the options.
  • Altirius
We used Altiris previously to image computers in the organization. The only way we could deploy that was through a network boot, but with SCCM we have an option in Software Center to start an image on a client. This is much easier to understand for users if/when they need to image their computer.
The amount of details we can gather about individual clients is pretty incredible. We know when the last virus scan happened and what items were flagged as suspicious. We can specify what users get access to which applications based on where their computer resides in the organization. We can connect to clients remotely to help troubleshoot issues.
