We performed a comparison between BMC TrueSight Network Automation and OpenText Network Node Manager i 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."Maturity makes it a stable product."
"For Windows services, there are multiple options within Intune to modernize it to be more internet-facing and dynamic."
"Microsoft Endpoint Manager is not expensive overall, especially for small environments."
"The ability to (somewhat) manage full Windows 10 computers including EXE-based or MSI-based application deployments using Azure Active Directory as Identity."
"I can reach devices or computers over the internet. I don't need to worry about the network connectivity between the offices. I can manage any device. That is the most important part."
"The solution is easy to use and it has good performance."
"At the moment, Autopilot is the most valuable feature."
"The performance of Microsoft Intune is good."
"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."
"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 compliance management, patching, and OS upgrades are useful 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."
"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 most valuable feature of BMC TrueSight Network Automation is compliance management, configuration backup, and configuration management."
"It has the best automation features."
"Our monitoring and network teams of less than 100 people use this solution. The availability and fault monitoring are good."
"It is a scalable product."
"We do not have any issues stability-wise."
"It is stable for fault and availability."
"The platform has good stability."
"Real time network monitoring application: It is very stable, which provides quick root cause analysis (RCA) for any network faults."
"The best feature is the solution's entire credibility with all vendors."
"If you install one node on Network Node Manager and want to scale it up, it's pretty easy to create more nodes."
"One big problem with Microsoft is that they're changing the names of the products quite often, or they're quite consistently doing so. Intune is now Endpoint administration. Constantly switching the user interface or the administrative interface makes it quite hard to keep pace. If you are on a two-week holiday and you come back and look at the same screen you have looked at for the last couple of months, it looks different, which is annoying. Changing things around all the time doesn't make it easy."
"Microsoft Intune has a latency response time issue. The latency has room for improvement."
"When somebody has a customized application or their own company's application, we cannot deploy that application."
"It should be easier to define policies and comply with those policies."
"Onboarding of endpoint devices is not straightforward. The onboarding process was a little heavier than I thought it would be. That's the key improvement area. Obviously, the more control you have over the devices, the better it is."
"There is improvement needed in integrating with the installed Office solutions versions, such as Office 2019. The Office 365 integrates without a problem."
"The installation is very easy. However, to be able to configure it you will need special knowledge, such as training or self-studies to have a proper level of security. There are many settings one has to understand before being able to implement Microsoft Intune."
"Reporting and troubleshooting for the application deployment could be better. It's very difficult to understand."
"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."
"BMC TrueSight Network Automation can improve by having a better UI. The overall quality of the UI could be better."
"I believe there could be new features in terms of the latest technology."
"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."
"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."
"They need to have a single sign-on."
"It is tedious to scale the solution."
"The dashboards are not customizable and it's not user-friendly."
"The solution should integrate with NAC servers."
"Micro Focus Network Node Manager is not the best when it comes to drilling down for more visibility, especially regarding traffic."
"As the technologies evolve, also these solutions or the monitoring tools should evolve to cover the progress in technology, including capabilities related to monitoring of virtualized devices today, as the DNS is on the table in this way."
"Right now, we have open tickets and they are not closing as expected."
"Reporting. Even though this is available in separate software (iSPI) there is potential in making the reporting more SLA-aware and more intuitive."
"Micro Focus Network Node Manager is not powered to drill down for traffic visibility."
"The way the solution currently works means I'm not able to customize my own reports."
