I think any organization that runs windows on their computers that is size over 50 workstations and looking for a complete package to manage their windows machines must have Microsoft System Center Service Manager, especially if they have Windows servers and VMs. The capability of managing multiple devices at ones can save a lot of time for the IT jobs.

Cons
  • Reporting in System Center could be more user-friendly. While the data is there, sometimes several reports have to be run to get what you want
  • SCCM would be better making updates to SCCM easier. We see risk in updates, so it causes delays, which creates more risk
  • Improving the application deployment log files , making them easier to read

  • Many decisions must be made to implement the tool, which can be a challenge for companies that don't already have an established ticketing or project management system.
  • The modules you create such as ticketing applications can't be deleted once they are made.
  • You can't copy all your settings from one application module to another.

Alternatives Considered
It has its similarities between the two from a ticketing standpoint but as a primarily Microsoft shop it is nice to have a product that was created to play along with other tools that we are using such as SCCM. We like Jira for the project management tools and Cherwell for their customization but the latter took lots of effort to get that piece working.

There are plenty of programs and websites out there that do the same things, but when compared to TeamDynamix and their level of support that they provide, I don't feel that it can be matched. The simple UI for our end-users and technicians creates a tremendous amount of value. The cost of TeamDynamix is not the cheapest of the bunch, but also not the most expensive. At the same time, I think we get a lot of value for the price we pay for their services.
