What differentiates Microsoft System Center R2 from other similar products?

It provides a unique, Windows-centred set of management capabilities and facilities to ensure that all operations are running smoothly and our currently implemented solution is being managed appropriately and more efficiently than other software.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favourite aspect is the easy-to-utilise user interface - it allows for increased efficiency and accuracy within system management ensuring that desired results are reached without any sorts of confusion, delay or misconceptions.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I dislike the fact that it is only implementable with Windows, as it is a Microsoft developed management application. However, it has to be said that due to the focus on Windows, the quality of the management facilities is far better and more relevant to the OS.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I would recommend this if you are utilising a full Windows-based solution, however consider other applications if not. It is a brilliant piece of software for utilisation with Windows and is essential for efficient and specified management.
