Offers reliability and helps with the virtualization part
The product integrates with our company's existing IT infrastructure, especially when it comes to MicroK8s and other on-premises servers. The tool also helps with the virtualization in the ecosystem of our company, where there are other tools from HPE. Performance and network optimization are some of the beneficial areas in terms of server management. Speaking about how the remote management ability of the product impacted our company's IT operations, I would say that my organization has dealt with areas like RDP, DDI, and DMC, depending on the requirements of our final customers. In my experience, the product has contributed four hours in terms of reliability and to ensure the uptime of our servers. When it comes to the day-to-day use of HPE System Management's interface, I would say that it connects with some of the best tools and Hyper-V console with the help of Microsoft. I recommended the solution to those who plan to use it. I rate the overall product an eight out of ten.

Deployment recovery works well but requires configuration improvements
While I do not use the product frequently, many issues were due to configuration rather than the product itself. I cannot give an exact recommendation as it is not my area of responsibility. The team that uses it finds it adequate. It is presently good enough for us not to investigate other options. Overall, I rate the product a six out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I think it's stable, scalable, and flexible."
"This solution has improved our organization through the provision of efficient resource utilization and capacity planning."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy with the help of the framework consisting of Microsoft Azure."
"The managing and monitoring are the solution's most valuable features. They are something I find quite helpful in my work."
"The interface is in continuous development and improves version by version."
"This is a good product and I recommend it."
"I like its ease of use. It does what you need it to do, and it's a one-stop-shop for the company and for all your deployments. If you incorporate Intune into it, you can have both. You can bring your own devices and corporate devices, and everything runs out of SCCM and Intune."
"One of the standout features of SCCM is its application management capabilities. It allows us to create packages efficiently and deploy them to specific groups within our network. This streamlined process has significantly improved our software distribution workflows."
"It has the ability to perform mass distribution."
"Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager is valuable in keeping our systems updated. We are able to send updates to all the systems. Additionally, the Intune integration is helpful."
"Valuable features include configurations enforcement, compliance data gathering, and deployment of a standardized OS."
"The most valuable features are Remote Connect, SUP, Cloud functionality, Report, Query, and third-party patching."
"There have to be made some improvement in WSUS and control in other non-Microsoft products updates."
"Microsoft is being very competitive right now, and they are really investing in a lot of new features to be more competitive in the marketplace."
 

Cons

"Our customers would like to see the price lowered."
"I think that support integration could be improved."
"The return on investment report is too difficult to understand."
"The product should increase the processing capacity and allow speedy deployment, as both of them are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"If the solution could provide better integration to make it easier to manage everything on different servers, that would be helpful. Whatever servers a company has, be it IBM, Dell, etc., if the System Management could be a platform that links all of them together, it would make management across different server types easier."
"The quality of service and support for this solution needs to be improved."
"It is not easy to get good technical support, especially at level one."
"It would be nice to have everything in one place. Now they have Intune for the desktops and SCCM to handle their servers."
"In spite of us being a premier customer we find the support unsatisfactory."
"The ability to integrate MDM would be great."
"Based on my experience with SCCM 2016, the main, big issue is not having a good user-friendly environment. It needs much better GUI."
"They need to improve the support for the Mac operating system."
"Our company would prefer not rebooting computers while people are using them. There seems to be no strategy behind it."
"The App to upgrades to the server needs to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license was included when we purchased the server."
"The price of this product is fair."
"My company has invested 30,00,000 USD in the product."
"The support is yearly-based and the license is permanent."
"We have a support license from Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager and the overall price of the solution is reasonable."
"The solution operates on a licensing model that can be expensive."
"I rate the price of Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager an eight out of ten."
"The price could be better."
"There is not a license needed to use the solution."
"Its price is okay because it is part of our licensing."
"We have to pay for a license."
"Presently, I am using a free trial version."
