We performed a comparison between BMC TrueSight Network Automation and DX Spectrum based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Configuration Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Intune enables us to manage our devices from anywhere."
"The features I found most valuable in Intune are its user visibility and troubleshooting options."
"As the solution is a software as a service, the scalability is unlimited."
"Intune device restriction policies enable me to enforce limitations on the device, like blocking the mobile camera or restricting the employees from using and inserting USB devices, including thumb drives and flash drives."
"Autopilot is a great feature. Most users are looking for a zero-touch deployment."
"Its protection policies are most valuable. It protects mobile devices as well as individual apps. It is pretty scalable, and its documentation is also pretty good. It is also pretty straightforward to deploy."
"Configuration profiles, remediation, scripts, and auto-pilot features are very good."
"It helps implement conditional access policies to restrict mobile users from accessing potentially dangerous emails."
"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 most valuable feature of BMC TrueSight Network Automation is compliance management, configuration backup, and configuration management."
"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 log audit and historical configurations are the most valuable feature."
"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."
"The compliance management, patching, and OS upgrades are useful features."
"It has the best automation features."
"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 most valuable feature is the ability to put health checks in place not only for the infrastructure but for some of the services that are on top of the infrastructure."
"Spectrum does such a great job of discovering our network that we have a high confidence in what our inventory is."
"The integration point."
"What I like best is the configuration management functionality."
"I have found the cross analysis feature to be the most valuable."
"Spectrum is very useful for us, because the product lets us monitor and control all the various components of our infrastructure that support our business from an IT perspective."
"This product provides good visibility into applications at the backend."
"It helps our NetOps group actually handle alarms in a way that lets them see the bigger picture of those alarms, and how they might affect our services. It helps us communicate information about the network state better to services that might be impacted by a specific network condition."
"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."
"We need the capabilities of the Cloud Management Gateway (CMG) to be enhanced through Intune instead of Azure."
"There are items that require improvements. One is the controls from iOS."
"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."
"Sometimes, updating a client policy is very difficult. This needs to be improved."
"Enhancements for managing MacOS more comprehensively would be beneficial."
"Microsoft Intune could enhance its patch management for various devices, ensuring regular updates and tracking of device privileges."
"When somebody has a customized application or their own company's application, we cannot deploy that application."
"They need to have a single sign-on."
"The product should be expanded to include more hardware, beyond Cisco and Juniper devices."
"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."
"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."
"I believe there could be new features in terms of the latest technology."
"It is tedious to scale the solution."
"BMC TrueSight Network Automation can improve by having a better UI. The overall quality of the UI could be better."
"The solution's stability needs improvement."
"It doesn't really allow for multi-tenancy. If you're an ISP or an MSP and you want to use this tool to provide these types of fault management services to your customers, you would need a separate SpectroSERVER for each customer..."
"DX Spectrum could be improved by them getting rid of the Java console. It would also be better with Turkish language support."
"A better integration with the UIM, as far as being able to do root cause analysis and that type of analytics."
"Technical support for this product is not so good. It needs improvement."
"DX Spectrum needs to incorporate faster support."
"We have a lot of different monitoring tools in the background, so orchestration has been a little bit of a challenge."
"The interface is not nice and needs to be improved."
