Altiris vs System Center Configuration Manager vs BMC vs ????.. which one?

Tags: Altiris, Microsoft
Our company is recently in talks with multiple vendors to get an end to end patching, provisioning, monitoring, etc tool for the company. With the release of System Center, we are looking at multiple products from Altiris, Microsoft, BMC, etc.

Does anybody have experience with these, and which would you recommend? We don't have the infrastructure in place to test them all out -- but the key points are power and simplicity. We can't have a 10 man team to manage the software, and the management and power of the app should be easy to use and powerful in its scope.

Please let me know what you can, in detail. Big points available for good answers, so please give us as much description as possible.

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution.

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is.
