They even have a free version for small shops or home use. 1 session, 3 unattended.

Not to thread-jack: hosted ($24-54/mo.) vs self-hosted ($2195/yr + 20% maint/yr), which one?

I was pretty sure the self hosted was a one time fee with yearly maintenance. So the first year would be $2195 and it would be $439/yr after that.

What fits best for your organization? The hosted solution may be more expensive in the long run but it may fit your organization better.

No, the base on prem package is 3 techs with 10 simultaneous sessions open each.

Thanks - I was just curious on the math part.

Same features as the $45 level as far as techs sessions. So 3 x $45 = $135 / month for tech synchronicity between hosted and on prem.

So self hosted pays for itself after 2 years.

More or less.

Self hosted for us for sure and I am keen on reporting features as well too ( i remember reading about some reporting, not sure what's included)
Have plans for an endpoint patch management as the current sccm is only being used for minor tasks (we have the licenses) and is not great patch management for non ms products as far as I heard. Was planning to look at something like desktop central from manage engine which I guess can also be used for imaging computers as well. But looking at connectwise automate i could see that they have patch management not sure if imaging is covered. If so I like to stick to connectwise for remote management, patch management and if image deployment.

Have you considered using PDQ Deploy for non Microsoft products?
-
Yes, but initial thoughts was to have screen connect also to be used for package deployment

Interesting - I thought 3rd party was one of the benefits of SCCM, WSUS can do third party too, but apparently it's a pain.

This was going to be my recommendation. PDQ Deploy does all the work. They make the update packages work.
The other one would be Chocolately, at least for the ones that are in the repo.

Here at my new company, I am not seeing much requests for new software installations and got the report from the help desk team that once the initial set of software installed (PDF reader, Screenshot tools etc.) requests for new software are not a lot. In that case, a dedicated deployment tool doesn't seem to be necessary. I remember through screen connect, software deployment is possible per user based. I really hope the self-hosted solution does not have any limitations compared to the cloud version, and the first 3 technician limit is ok for our requirements. I am not aiming to install the agents on computers and initiate the remote support only on-demand.
