We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Agile and easy to deploy MDM solution that covers the maximum number of policies. Stable, scalable, and with knowledgeable technical support.""The technical support of Microsoft Intune is good.""Intune provides full visibility into all active mobile device users. If their devices are noncompliant with our security policies, I have the flexibility to update them remotely.""Microsoft Endpoint Manager is not expensive overall, especially for small environments.""It's easy to manage and easy to configure.""It is a very stable and scalable cloud-only solution.""One of the main features of the solution is it allows the management of many devices in different ways.""Internet-based access with security is what I have found to be most valuable. It is also a stable and scalable solution."

"Depending on who's looking at the data, they need to configure that data in different ways, and the dashboards help us to do that better than what was previously available.""It is helpful if you schedule daily or weekly archiving for your config groups. Then, you can go by what are in those configuration groups, before and after, if you make changes. So, configuration management is really helpful in network management.""The backup and restore configurations are really helpful for a number of network devices, as you can automate them, then know what changes have been done, who made the changes, etc. So, it's quite helpful in the network management area.""It has the best automation features.""We use it to back up configurations so the configuration management is valuable for us.""The log audit and historical configurations are the most valuable feature.""The network security of BMC TrueSight Network Automation has been the best feature.""This product has helped us because we can now do many tasks at once. Rather than copy one file to one device, we can do an entire group at one time."

"It is an overall stable solution.""This solution has helped our organization by allowing us to have visibility. We deal with cybersecurity, so visibility is very important."

More Broadcom Network Flow Analysis Pros →

Cons
"The solution requires Mac support.""There could be more wizard-driven policy development or creation. Some of the policies can get quite complex. If they have a wizard that assists the administrators in creating the policy, that will be a great job.""Intune's third-party patch management could be better. It should be easier for the average system admin to keep non-Microsoft applications updated.""They need to add more group policies. Intune currently does not have many group policies that you can deploy. Its reporting, which is very limited at the moment, also needs improvement. It will be great if they can add report customization. Its stability needs to be improved. Sometimes, when you register a device in Intune, it doesn't show up instantly on the engine portal on the admin side. They need to provide better support for complicated issues. They also have a long turnaround time.""Integration with Mac devices requires some improvement.""The solution could improve its flexibility.""In the past, I raised some tickets for the enhancement feature, which was missing in Intune.""We faced issues with macOS support. The product should have better inventory and asset management."

More Microsoft Intune Cons →

"I'd like to be able to get more devices into compliance with standards, but that means running additional rule sets and that takes time.""I believe there could be new features in terms of the latest technology.""They need to have a single sign-on.""It is tedious to scale the solution.""We've been working with BMC support in various ways such as to allow for the high-availability components to the TSIMs to work together. There have been issues there. We've seen randomness in how other pieces of the software work. Integration with the Presentation Server and the TSIMs has been a challenge. The ports that are required for HA to be utilized were not clearly documented anywhere. In fact, they still aren't documented online anywhere, even though we managed to pull it out of some of their support people.""There could be automated processes to retrieve the CVS and create a compliance tool.""For customized compliance, it takes some effort to implement things. If the device configuration is quite complex, then you have to do quite number of customizations in the DNA tool for out-of-the-box compliance. These regular expressions have to be modified based on the requirements of the compliance.""BMC TrueSight Network Automation can improve by having a better UI. The overall quality of the UI could be better."

More BMC TrueSight Network Automation Cons →

"Currently, Broadcom Network Flow Analysis does not support high-availability solutions, making it an area that needs improvement.""I would like to see more security features, like a lost protection package."

  • "For Microsoft 365 E5 clients, cost is not an issue as this product is one of the benefits."

  • More Microsoft Intune Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "There's a fee for the licenses themselves, per contract, and then we have a yearly licensing fee that's many thousands of dollars. But that's not just for TrueSight, that's also for support for ITSM, Atrium Orchestrator, BBNA, and other BMC tools in the environment."
  • "The solution is worth the price."
  • "The solution is more costly than the other competitors."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Microsoft Intune stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Two major ones are its ability to secure all devices under its management and the flexibility that the solution offers its users.

    A computing services manager notes, "Its security is most valuable. It gives us a way to secure devices, not only those that are steady. We do have a few tablets and other devices, and it is a way for us to secure these devices and manage them. We know they're out there and what's their status. We can manage their life cycle and verify that they're updated properly."

    The head of IT engineering at a financial services company writes, "The one feature we find most useful is the Mobile Application Manager. There are two types: we have the complete MDM and the Mobile Application Manager (MAM). We don't give our users phones, it is their own personal phone, and we need to allow them to have access to the company details on their phone. We need to create a balance between their own personal data and the company data. We deploy the Mobile Application Manager for them so that we won't be able to interfere with their own personal data."

    Network automation and management software reduces network outages and downtime by automating configuration, change and compliance processes. Organizations depend on high performance across their network to keep the business running at peak efficiency but new security threats make it hard for network administrators to keep pace with the demands for new services and safeguard the health of the network.

    CA Network Flow Analysis provides 100% visibility into the composition of network traffic across the enterprise, helping Network Administrators deliver optimal application performance and validating the impact of network infrastructure changes, resulting in returns on investment (ROI) of up to 150%.
