Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager
SCCM allows us to manage and deploy machines on our network. This is a nice tool to have in order to centralize things for updates and deployment. We also use this for imagining new computers as they come in from Dell. We use it across the whole organization to manage the systems on the network.
- Image computers from a standpoint of having everything in a centralized location for deployment
- Deployment control of updates managed by IT system admins
- Overall Management of computers in the network
- Deploying Software seems to be a challenge and has a low rate of success when pushing through SCCM
- Imaging can be cumbersome and depend on updates and current status of the machine there can be many roadblocks in the imaging process adding several hours to the process. It also takes a decent amount of time to keep the image up to date with current standards.
- Having the machine join as a client does not work consistently. Have to manually check each machine after the image to ensure that this task has been completed successfully.
- Added more time in some cases to the process.
- Reduced time by centralized management.
- Quick access to information at a glance.
I have not had the opportunity to use other systems. I am sure they all have their ups and downs. We are a very heavy Microsoft company so it seems like this is probably going to be our best bet in our situation as far as a company. Would like to review other options down the road to see for sure.
