"We have found the solution is capable of scaling."
"It is helpful for managing devices anytime and any place without requiring dependency on the local networks."
"I would say the biggest benefit is the single-pane view. There's no jumping around multiple UI's to do your overall management."
"Intune is effective because of the configuration management and endpoint security it provides. The graphical interface makes it easier to configure and deploy devices."
"There are so many features, but Windows Autopilot is one of the features that are very valuable for most customers."
"Agile and easy to deploy MDM solution that covers the maximum number of policies. Stable, scalable, and with knowledgeable technical support."
"The best feature is that we don't need to worry about downtime. We don't need to worry about the network connections of our office or the virtual private network. Everything is being done through the internet. Using Intune Autopilot, we can configure and deploy everything to the devices."
"The log audit and historical configurations are the most valuable feature."
"The network security of BMC TrueSight Network Automation has been the best feature."
"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."
"We use it to back up configurations so the configuration management is valuable for us."
"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 has the best automation features."
"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 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 customer likes it for the graphs, the dynamics and the reporting functionality it offers."
"The firewall and site-blocking features are valuable."
"It does a little bit better than some of the other products health-wise and updates-wise. It is really clear that a firewall is getting the signature updates in this timeframe. In some of the other products, usually, you have to go a couple of screens in to see that, but not so much in this product."
"From a scalability perspective, I found the solution to be completely fine...The solution's technical support is absolutely fine."
"I like the product's asset management which gives clear hardware details."
"The role-based access controls give us granular control over what features to present to a customer, and the integration into FortiAnalyzer is the most valuable feature."
"I like the tool's controller facility."
"I am very comfortable with it, including it's reporting on threats and through its activities."
"The difficulty of the the roll out is surprisingly difficult considering this product is supposed to be an integrated part of the 365 suite."
"The reporting and cost have room for improvement."
"I expect Microsoft Intune to have more features in the cloud because there are two major functionalities that we need to be added. This is software metering and license management. These functionalities, for now, must be on-premise. For this purpose, we have set up a SQL Server and I hope that in near future this option will be in the cloud in Microsoft Intune."
"Microsoft Intune could enhance its patch management for various devices, ensuring regular updates and tracking of device privileges."
"There needs to be more support for Mac operating systems."
"Microsoft Intune needs to improve the initial login process."
"Microsoft needs to enhance device-level security, as sometimes when using Microsoft Intune, the device's operating system becomes stuck and requires a full uninstall to remove the Intune bug."
"In terms of what can be improved, I am looking for better enhancements regarding Apple management, not only on the mobile device, but also on the laptop."
"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."
"They need to have a single sign-on."
"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."
"It is tedious to scale the solution."
"The product should be expanded to include more hardware, beyond Cisco and Juniper devices."
"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."
"There can be defects in Fortinet FortiPortal when functioning at high temperatures."
"The solution is more expensive than other products."
"The tool should provide a 10-15 days extension for customers when their license expires."
"Fortinet FortiPortal could improve by providing a learning portal and better security."
"I find their logging a little bit trickier to manage. The logging of events is broken up into a lot of different categories. Instead of breaking up my logs into several different places, I personally like to have all the events in one spot and then filter them down. In particular, I find that troubleshooting on Fortinet takes a little bit longer just because of those functional breakups in the logs."
"The product must have in-built SD-WAN connectivity."
"If you are a very small company or a person on your own, it's harder to get any response from technical support."
"Fingerprint access security would improve this solution."
