Successfully manage endpoint security and compliance while facing integration challenges
I have not come across any difficulties. I integrated it with ILMT (IBM License Metric Tool). It lets us identify all software being used in my organization with BigFix. It provides input of all types of software being used, including details and information about hardware specifications. I am more involved in software licensing and procurement, so I utilize this tool for procuring more licenses if needed for our company. After integration, we get different dashboards showcasing our IBM infrastructure, highlighting various issues in our environment that we can mitigate. I recommend BigFix to others. I rate BigFix a seven out of ten.

Monitoring tool, user-friendly and interactive but experienced an issue with integration
The most valuable thing is that we can integrate any other solutions with SuperOps. Like, SuperOps is a monitoring tool, but for security, for backup, we can integrate with other solutions providers as well. I like the PSA tool. It is very user-friendly and interactive with the customer as well. We can, the customer, give feedback directly to the solution. There is no need for another communication channel, like a different email from Outlook or any other tool. From the same solution, we could communicate with the customer, and the customer could reply. So, it includes a collaboration tool with the customer. It could immediately pop up any problem that's at the customer end or in the end devices. Sometimes, it happens that we come to know about an incident negatively, but the monitoring tool gave me the information immediately.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Vulnerability scanning and patch automation."
"It has improved my organization because we can automate a lot of tasks; we went from manually patching machines or doing our best and having very little visibility into it to us being able to set it and forget it and getting really good results on first-pass patching."
"Ability to run custom reports and custom relevance."
"Patch management is no longer a problem."
"Due to the automation, we've been able to prevent a lot of human errors with BigFix so it's reduced our help desk calls by 50%."
"It represents to a customer a very strong and quick ROI, so the investment and value becomes very positive early on."
"The most valuable feature is the patching, as it's much more flexible than SCCM with better cross-platform support and more options for what we can do."
"The most valuable features are patch management, software installation, and asset management."
"The customer service and support are very good."
 

Cons

"To make it a ten they should improve the licensing. Second, if they could have one environment for everything it would be nice. For you to install compliance you need to install the server, and then you add the modules. For you to install inventory you install the server and then you add the modules. It's not easy to do. When I was doing it before I learned it, it was not straight forward."
"It could use better integration with Hypervisor products like VMware."
"I self-taught for this online, so the initial setup was a little difficult to pick up at first. I had to create a couple of testing environments and destroy them in order to learn how to use it. There was a lot of trial and error, a lot of reading of the manuals."
"The tool should be more friendly in terms of Web UI and should be having better vulnerability scanning mechanisms so a third-party application is not required to fulfill that aspect."
"The technical support is usually pretty good. However, I had a ticket that stayed open for a couple of weeks which I didn't get a response to, and when we got the response it wasn't really good."
"BigFix should improve its compatibility with other platforms, such as Linux."
"We would like to see a different license plan, e.g. to include features from lifecycle with Patch Management, as an example."
"I'd definitely like to see additional feature parody in the web UI versus the console."
"I found some issues when I integrated the accounting software with Xero."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of BigFix is better than the solutions. You are able to pay monthly or annually. There are not any hidden costs with BigFix. There is an additional cost for the SQL database."
"We have a subscription-based contract with BigFix."
"The license is subscription-based."
"So, the pricing is slightly more expensive than the others. I have to keep buying licenses every time I add a new device."
"It is too costly. It is one of the best tools, but because of pricing, not all clients support it. Its licensing is on a yearly basis."
"When purchasing, buying with other IBM tools provided us with a very good discount in pricing."
"The tool's price continues to go up. The cost per endpoint can vary, ranging from approximately 30 to 80 dollars per year. Compared to other products, pricing is in the middle. You need to buy an additional database license, but most users already have it."
"The price of the solution is high. There are not any additional fees from the standard license."
"It is affordable."
