Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft System Center Service Manager

We have more than 400 computers in our company, almost all of them running Windows OS. With Microsoft System Center Service Manager, we are able to manage them all together. We are able to install/uninstall software to all machines at once, install updates, configurations, and also deploy images to the computers. It is a complete package to maintain infrastructure with lots of features available. The tool indeed saves us a lot of time.
  • Simplifies the operations of IT services
  • Flexibility in configuration
  • Application deployment across Windows machines
  • Server and workstation provisioning
  • The software requires a lot of memory to run smoothly, otherwise it will be slow.
  • It takes some time to learn, and training prices are a bit high.
  • The price is a bit high; System Center is not a cheap solution.
  • Simplified our IT support
  • Provided extra security for our systems
  • Improved business process agility
The customer support service is excellent. They help from start/deployment through to any time later on. They responded quickly and resolved our issues professionally and in no time.
