Desktop Central – Edition Comparison Matrix

Deploying Desktop Central has made my life easier with regards to managing the computer assets including the servers. The Patch management has eliminated the need for WSUS. With its many tools (configurations), I can enforce a plethora of company policies regarding IT. I spend far less time keeping the inventory up-to-date since those agents do a lot of work for me.
