What differentiates Microsoft System Center from other similar products?

Microsoft system center gives you a variety of technologies, tools, and feature sets that you can use to automate routine processes that are traditionally done manually and with human involvement.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

System Center provides me with access to specific information about when a machine was last online, its heartbeat, its most recent scan, and whether or not that specific machine is compliant or not.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The absence of Apple ecosystem integration with Microsoft System Center is the only drawback for this product. Sadly, this program is only available for Windows systems.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

The suite of SCCM tools provided by the Microsoft system center is quite comprehensive and it will help your I.T. team manage the infrastructure smoothly without any major hiccup.
