    The SMP suite is great at what it does, but it can be very complicated to learn how to get it to do what you want. It's a beast! However, when you learn how to the things you want to do, it comes as second nature and you complete them like they're supposed to be done that way. A lot of these things are done to be able to be completed a number of different ways. Take Patch Management, you can deploy patches automatically, via Jobs, or via the "Start Software Update Cycle Now" link in the SMP Agent!

    • The SMP solution is a beast. Each piece is complicated in itself let alone how everything ties together!
    • There is plenty of documentation online on how to perform a specific task, but you need to pay attention to what VERSION the article is written for. I've been halfway through implementing something only to hit a roadblock since I'm running a newer version and the option the article says to click on doesn't exist anymore...

    The decision to use Symantec was not my own but I believe it competes well against other products such as SCCM offering more features.

    • Being able to report on the majority of things you want all from one interface, makes it really easy to get the results you want.
    • Because my employer didn't provide training, it took working with support, reading technical documentation, and just playing around on my own to learn how to do certain things.
    • I've had a lot of help from the SMP Support staff and they're great people and very helpful!
