What systems management product (like SMS, Altiris, Enteo, Kaseya, etc.) do you currently use and what do you like best about it?

At Northrop Grumman we use Altiris for Client, Server, and Asset Management. After extensive research, testing, etc we found that Altiris was the best solution for truly automated management. Now that they are part of Symantec we are anxious for the release of integrated management for BESR, Anti-Virus, and hopefully NetBackup.

As a Managed Service Provider, we have elected to use Kaseya as our primary systems management product. Within our community of SMB technology companies, Kaseya has strong support and tight integration with ConnectWise, our PSA tool.

That's awesome on the Kaseya purchase. I've actually done a few webcasts for them through Redmond Magazine. You can hear them at: http://redmondmag.com/techlibrary/webcasts.
