We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The initial setup is not complex.""Intune enables us to manage our devices from anywhere.""I like the fact that it's integrated with the rest of the Microsoft products, so customers can manage it from their Office 365 portal or Azure portal.""Internet-based access with security is what I have found to be most valuable. It is also a stable and scalable solution.""It works pretty well for us.""Its direct integration with all the other products that we have from Microsoft is valuable. We're using the E5 license, and we have a whole wealth of different products available. It just makes it easier to have everything from one provider.""The solution is easy to use, simple to understand for those new to using it, and combined with the other Microsoft products it makes for an overall good package.""It has a useful device management feature."

"The most valuable feature of BMC TrueSight Network Automation is compliance management, configuration backup, and configuration management.""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.""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.""The compliance management, patching, and OS upgrades are useful features.""The log audit and historical configurations are the most valuable feature.""We use it to back up configurations so the configuration management is valuable for us.""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."

"The pricing is relatively low compared to other solutions in this area. I'd go so far as to say it's even significantly less than the competition.""The most valuable feature is the fault management monitoring."

Cons
"While Intune works perfectly well, the only potential downside is that the deployment could be a bit complex for some users.""Lacks the ability to deploy more ways of management, managing devices and processing the policies.""The mobile and tablet-based versions need improvement because they are not completely user-friendly, compared to the web version. Also, data synchronization with our existing asset manager, the synchronization between multiple assets and multiple devices, takes a lot of time due to the security scanning. It should be reduced.""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.""From a new user's perspective, it may be a little overwhelming because there are quite a few things to look at in the console, however, once you are sort of acclimated and are familiar with your core functions, it's fairly simple and straightforward.""No option to do end-to-en macOS management. Slow implementation of policies.""It should be simplified. I've worked with many different mobile device management solutions, and Intune is one of the more complex ones. It could be more simplified, and some of it is related to the wording that is being used, such as a configuration profile versus a policy. They really should have had different names to make it less confusing.""We haven't really gone through all the features of Intune. We are just discovering them. Every day, we see a new feature that we want to apply, but what will be great for Intune is to be able to deploy apps in a simple fashion. We should be able to easily install various apps on the Windows platform, iOS, and Android. Currently, we have to write some scripts. It's not as straightforward as we would like it to be. It should be simplified so that we can do it just with three clicks—next, next, finish—without needing to write a script."

More Microsoft Intune Cons →

"I would like to see more device supported features, mostly on the new brands and models coming in. For any new version or model, it should be supported by the tool, especially the newest versions. For example, the newest devices, like Aruba Wireless, and routers need support from the 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.""They need to have a single sign-on.""It is tedious to scale the solution.""The product should be expanded to include more hardware, beyond Cisco and Juniper devices.""There could be automated processes to retrieve the CVS and create a compliance tool.""I believe there could be new features in terms of the latest technology.""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."

"The user interface needs improvement.""My biggest complaint about ADA is that you have to rely on dedicated appliances."

    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 Application Delivery Analysis provides end-to-end response time monitoring at multiple component levels, giving Network Administrators the ability to quickly identify performance bottlenecks and to identify root cause in minutes as opposed to hours or days, resulting in up to 80% improvement in IT productivity and reduced Mean Time To Repair (MTTR).
