	Microsoft Intune	Symantec Client Management Suite
Considered Both Products	Microsoft Valery Mezentsau IT Department Manager in Information Technology at Acceptance Solutions Group (Financial Services, 51-200 employees) Chose Microsoft Intune Microsoft System Center Configuration manager was always selected because it combines several standalone solutions provided by other vendors. Has great integration with all Microsoft services including Azure. Being an enterprise standard level product, you can expect that your … Incentivized Helpful?	Broadcom Ted Jan VP Technical Services in Information Technology at Guggenheim Partners (Financial Services, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Symantec Client Management Suite Kace is very fast to set-up and it's good for a lot of companies if patch and software deployment is all you care about but I don't think that it is as strong as SCCM or Symantec CMS.

Dan Kujala Endpoint Engineer III in Information Technology at Grainger (Business Supplies and Equipment, 10,001+ employees) Chose Symantec Client Management Suite We used to use Novel Zenworks which paled in comparison.

I can say that I often peruse the SCCM forums and get ideas and scripts to convert in to the Symantec Environment. This product can feel heavy handed at times but … Incentivized Helpful? Jason Pelletier Director of Client Service and Technology in Information Technology at Bowdoin College (Higher Education, 501-1000 employees) Chose Symantec Client Management Suite Similar to ITMS but is limited in its abilities to manage OS X, Linux and a large variety of devices as well as manage asset inventory all in a single place. Although SCCM would have been less expensive for us, the ability to manage more with less is a huge seller. Incentivized Helpful?
