We performed a comparison between BMC TrueSight Network Automation and Microsoft Configuration Manager 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."We have found the solution is capable of scaling."
"Intune can wipe devices. For example, if a disgruntled employee wants to leak the data on their company phone, Intune can terminate their access and wipe the entire device with a click."
"One of the main features of the solution is it allows the management of many devices in different ways."
"It's really easy to access."
"It is a very stable and scalable cloud-only solution."
"The Asset Management and Auto Pilot are valuable features."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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 compliance management, patching, and OS upgrades are useful features."
"We use it to back up configurations so the configuration management is valuable for us."
"It has the best automation features."
"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."
"Software deployment and WSUS are most valuable."
"Provides great insight into the functionalities of the data scope."
"The main, clear valuable feature is updating the latest, patches and updates from Windows. This is the main feature we really utilize a lot."
"The ease of usability is the most valuable feature. It's user-friendly."
"What's valuable is the basic management of the systems, being able to control who can access the systems."
"SCCM does everything from A to Z for a Windows operating system."
"I like its ease of use. It does what you need it to do, and it's a one-stop-shop for the company and for all your deployments. If you incorporate Intune into it, you can have both. You can bring your own devices and corporate devices, and everything runs out of SCCM and Intune."
"We are happy with the collaboration of SCCM with Patch My PC, which allows us to do patch work."
"It would help if administrators could pinpoint the exact location of a stolen device to help law enforcement retrieve it and apprehend the suspect."
"In the past, I raised some tickets for the enhancement feature, which was missing in Intune."
"The closest Microsoft Intune can be to GPOs, the better. There needs to be more granularity on application deployments. However, they have done better recently with the application deployments."
"There can be some added features, such as an improved dashboard. Any new feature that could be a benefit to our customers would be good."
"Intune does not provide real-time visibility."
"They should improve its compatibility with other operating systems such as iOS and Linux. It supports Linux but they still need to work on the iOS part."
"Reporting in Microsoft solutions is pathetic. With Intune, I'm getting a free inventory tool, but I don't get a reporting tool. When I go to Intune, I can see one machine's entire data in terms of the hardware and the software running on it, but I cannot generate a report for all the machines in the organization. The reporting is the only feature holding back the functionality that is already there."
"Enhancements for managing MacOS more comprehensively would be beneficial."
"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."
"It is tedious to scale the solution."
"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."
"There could be automated processes to retrieve the CVS and create a compliance tool."
"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."
"They need to have a single sign-on."
"Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager could improve the integration."
"The deployment process is lengthy and should be quicker to complete."
"Its client interface should be more accessible, and the notifications should be more customizable from the console. It should be more user friendly and have some kind of customized notifications so that we can use it on the client side. These are the reasons why we restricted its use only for the server environment and didn't use it on the client side."
"On some hardware, we'd like an easier way to get peripherals attached."
"With Microsoft Premier Support, you get what you pay for. There's Third Tier Support that you pay for. If you pay for that, you get excellent support, and if you don't pay for that, then you get the less experienced staff."
"Built in PowerShell cmdlets would be a nice feature because managing clients remotely can be a pain without knowing the WMI calls to run."
"We'd like the solution to make it easier to manage remote users."
"It is not easy to get good technical support, especially at level one."
