I agree that sccm is a good tool as I said other solutions make it easier to do deployments and you don't need loads of training on sccm to make it work. We are a very busy department and sccm is not always being used daily so returning to it can be a bit frustrating. Not only that support is not as as easy as having dedicated support for other products.

Hi there just interested if anyone has used Manage Engine Desktop as opposed to SCCM???? I find SCCM clunky and time consuming at the best of times and found that Manage Engine has a lot to offer. Also I'm using a product to edit .exe to msi....http://emcosoftware.com/ msi package builder and have found this to be useful as we have a lot of software. I'd be happy to hear what others are using for deploying software and desktop OS images as I find SCCM a little too heavy at times. Don't get me wrong I do like some of the SCCM stuff but have you seen the manuals!!!! Not only that it takes half the time to deploy software using Manage Engine and twice as long with SCCM. Thinking of upgrading to SCCM 2012 but not sure MS has this nailed yet!!
