### "It is a fantastic and incredible tool for the administration of computers and servers" — 4.0/5

> **Jose Leandro** | *13 June 2018*
> 
> **Pros**: - It can be unified with Active Directory and DHCP to locate any computer that is connected to the network.&#13;&#10;- You can deploy Windows desktop and Windows server updates automatically or manually.&#13;&#10;- You can implement any application or shortcut.&#13;&#10;- Most impressive is the ease with which you can implement operating systems through the network.&#13;&#10;- When you deploy an application, update or operating system, you can easily see the progress of the implementation.&#13;&#10;- Has a wide range of created reports.&#13;&#10;- Can generate Querys according to the need of the company.&#13;&#10;- SCCM has its own remote connection system that provides great help at the time of remote technical support.&#13;&#10;- You can set up an "SCCM server" or a "distribution point" in each location you need to avoid bandwidth consumption.&#13;&#10;- It has a great security to establish the differences between the roles of the different areas of the company that require the use of the tool.&#13;&#10;- You can use the LOG as they are very useful.
> 
> **Cons**: - Microsoft System Center is a very expensive tool&#13;&#10;- It requires many pre requisites for the installation of the SCCM in a server.&#13;&#10;- The set-up requires many hours of work so that SCCM is 100% configured&#13;&#10;- The creation of additional reports is very complicated.&#13;&#10;- Generating Querys in SCCM does not have much documentation and is really difficult.&#13;&#10;- You really need to do a course to be able to use the tool.&#13;&#10;- Many errors of the tool are basic and do not show details.&#13;&#10;- It is complicated to verify the installation of Windows updates.

### "A powerful suite of software for managing you systems infrastructure, given proper resources." — 3.0/5

> **Gabe** | *11 January 2018* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Given proper support from MS premium channels, and humans dedicated to supporting the software, you can automate/manage endpoints and servers very effectively with System Center Configuration Manager. Monitoring can be very in-depth with Operations Manager, with a central application to monitor your enterprise environment and custom alerts that pertain to each system or service. This is a very powerful set of software, and with the proper resources allocated to it, can be scaled across even large enterprises.
> 
> **Cons**: Each software package with the System Center umbrella of software should not be underestimated. Each one required a full commitment to understand, deploy and utilize effectively. I would not recommend these solutions to small IT shops that cannot commit the appropriate human resource and support, as it will be draining to get the value out of them.&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;Reasons for this discouragement: These software packages are nothing like Microsoft Active Directory, Exchange, nor MS SQL. The flow and design of System Center packages are very different, and the concepts driving their design and use can be very challenging to understand and remember for beginners. I recommend committed staff assigned to these applications for support.
> 
> We use SCCM for automated patch management and deployment, server/workstation package deployment and inventory management.&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;We use SCOM for monitoring of Active Directory, Exchange, SQL, and SCCM.

### "Hassle free system management" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *18 January 2019* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I have experience in System Center Configuration Manager and the Operating System Deployment (OSD) has saved lot of man hours in company wide when re-configuring or deploying  PCs over company. We can deploy a new PC with all relevant software and updates without single user interaction in less than 1 hour of time. The software center is a feature where users can self service software installation and OS upgrade for Windows 10 very easily.
> 
> **Cons**: The automated client deployment is giving trouble  most of the time if the remote end is miss configured firewall or corrupted WMI. We have to sort those problems manually if we encounter such a problem.
> 
> We are using system center configuration manager for operating system deployment and have custom images created for department wise. If new PC deployment is required we are able to plug the new PC into the network and run the deployment process and the PC will install the OS and required software in less than 1 hour. We are applying patch update company wide regulatory using system center and helps keep all the system up to the date and secure. Software center used by users to request and self service software installation process which reduce the helpdesk burden.
