I'd avoid Manage Engine like the pleague, we ran some of their products where I used to work. Technically the products aren't too bad, but at the time the documentation and support resources could have used a really good proof reader. I've heard good things about the Kase solution, out of all the products I've heard about its still the one that's the closest to SCCM. An interesting note though, Dell themselves don't use it, they use SCCM accept in testing labs for Kase. My biggest gripes with SCCM 2007 are the client health issues. It's a paine to keep the clients all happy, and I've all but given up on that. SCCM 2012 will be a lot better with that, or so I hear. Also, when you tell SCCM to do something, its hard to get exact as to when it will happen. I can get a good idea, but I can't tell someone this software will push to your machine at this exact time, that's just not how SCCM is designed. Still, the MMC interface was reasonably accessible, and accessibility aside I'd like to play with SCCM 2012. Accessibility not aside it concerns me a little.

The release date is getting ever closer, and there's a few features in SCCM 2012 in particular I'd be interested in taking advantage of, but so far I've not gotten the install to work accessibly even, so I have no way to set this up in a test lab. Has anyone else taken a look at this yet, and does anyone have any tips? When do you plan to start investigating an upgrade? Thanks.
