Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Compliance and the policies that can be set are the most valuable features.""The stability is good.""The stability of Microsoft Intune is good.""This product offers an alternative solution to other UEM (Unified Endpoint Management) solutions.""The central administration con dashboard is very easy to use and provides very good oversight on all that needs to be monitored.""One of the best features is Windows Autopilot because if you change any of your devices, whatever security policies and compliance policies that applied can be easily migrated to the new devices. Windows Autopilot gives you that flexibility.""I like that we can implement conditional access.""While Microsoft Intune boasts a wide range of features, its user-friendliness and bundled licensing cost are key considerations for me."

"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 network security of BMC TrueSight Network Automation has been the best 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.""It has the best automation features.""The compliance management, patching, and OS upgrades are useful features.""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.""The log audit and historical configurations are the most valuable feature."

More BMC TrueSight Network Automation Pros →

"eSight allows me to monitor and solve any problem in the backbone and any switch in real-time.""Huawei eSight provides businesses with monitoring capabilities of network devices across your network.""The product is stable.""I like the real-time location monitor or RTLS feature. It is similar to the monitoring feature in Cisco Prime.""We can scale the solution.""I like that it supports all our Huawei devices. Unlike other network monitoring tools that monitor Huawei devices, it provides more details when it comes to monitoring or management. We can get complete details about the devices, and management is also simple.""We use Huawei eSight to monitor devices like Wi-Fi controllers, LAN switches, and routers.""The most important features are alarm management and the visualization of the health of our network devices."

More Huawei eSight Pros →

Cons
"I would like the ability to install the agent on devices from suppliers, which would enable us to implement a zero-trust strategy for guest devices.""The security features should be improved.""Due to the abundance of features, there's a lot to organize, which makes managing and setting up the solution challenging. The setup is immense, and it would be good to see improvement in this area.""Intune has limited integration with non-Microsoft solutions.""The technical support could be improved.""When Microsoft Intune is used with different android devices it does not always work as it is supposed to.""Lacking in features such as Wi-Fi and network security.""The configuration and pricing can be improved."

More Microsoft Intune Cons →

"The product should be expanded to include more hardware, beyond Cisco and Juniper devices.""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.""BMC TrueSight Network Automation can improve by having a better UI. The overall quality of the UI could be better.""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.""It is tedious to scale the solution.""They need to have a single sign-on.""There could be automated processes to retrieve the CVS and create a compliance tool.""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."

More BMC TrueSight Network Automation Cons →

"It will be better if they can make the simple network topology part more presentable. It would also be better if they had API integration and integration with third-party devices.""The solution and the operating system come separately. It would be easier if we did not have to deploy anything. A bundle feature would be better.""It is not a very flexible product.""The solution needs to improve it's user interface to make it more modern and stylish. They need to design proper menu positions, features, etc. Right now the layout is complicated.""This solution could be improved by offering monitoring for all devices and not only Huawei devices.""eSight has many features and options, but sometimes, we feel that it should be more advanced, like Cisco. It would be good if they can enable some automation part in eSight. Most of our customers want automation in their network. They don't want a dependency on everything. That's why the automation part must be improved in Huawei. It will be beneficial for customers. Cisco has different products, and there are multiple products for monitoring, automation, etc. In the software-defined network, Cisco has ACI, and VMware has NSX. Such options must be there in Huawei to move to a software-defined network. Unlike Cisco, in the case of eSight, there is only one product. I am not aware of any other product. It would be good to enhance it with at least some automation options so that we can use it effectively in the campus network or big data center environment. When I implemented this Huawei solution, I faced some limitations in particular areas like wireless scanning. This is another part that they can improve. Wireless reporting option is not as effective as other monitoring solutions. For a particular use case, if a customer is asking for some reports, sometimes they are not 100% satisfactory. The reporting structure must be improved.""Something that could be improved is the lack of integration with Cisco switches. In the next release, I would like to see better reporting.""The price could be less costly."

    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.

    Huawei's eSight is a unified software suite for planning, operating, and maintaining complex enterprise ICT infrastructure from global, converged networks and data centers to multimedia and video communications that includes the facilities necessary for delivering performance and IT services. eSight provides a platform that supports infrastructure and devices from third-party providers, to develop custom management applications and improves O&M efficiency.
