Find out what your peers are saying about Red Hat, Microsoft, HCLTech and others in Configuration Management."It's easy to manage."
"It's easy to manage and easy to configure."
"We are using the mobile feature, and we are also using MDM to lock the devices, to push restrictions, et cetera"
"It's not working perfectly, but Microsoft's Autopilot offers great visibility into automated deployment solutions."
"I believe that the solution is actually in Gartner's top quadrant at the moment for mobile device management."
"The most valuable feature is probably mobile device management. Small businesses are coming under greater scrutiny and requirements for compliance as time goes on. We don't have to worry about a VPN because we can manage these devices, control company data, and lock users out. If needed, we can remotely wipe devices and deadman-switch them."
"We already use a lot of Microsoft products in our company, and therefore, it made sense to also use this product."
"The device profiling which uses the official Outlook email enabled us to control the screenshot feature and prevent copying outside of the organization's application."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of BMC TrueSight Network Automation is compliance management, configuration backup, and configuration management."
"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 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 network security of BMC TrueSight Network Automation has been the best feature."
"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."
"Helps me perform changes in connected infrastructure thanks to the discovery features."
"The most valuable feature is the impact analysis."
"The scalability could be improved, and like most other MDM products, Intune is good but not 100% there yet."
"While Intune works perfectly well, the only potential downside is that the deployment could be a bit complex for some users."
"Intune has some limitations when it comes to application updates for third-party applications. You can schedule an update, but when it's a package setup, you need to supercede and replace it each time."
"It would help if administrators could pinpoint the exact location of a stolen device to help law enforcement retrieve it and apprehend the suspect."
"There are a couple of issues with stability."
"Additional application deployment options e.g. MSI deployment with more complex parameters or additional side-by-side files, and non-MSI deployment options."
"The reporting could be improved, as it's pretty poor compared to other products of this type."
"There are a few security features that are not available in Microsoft Intune, when compared to other products."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I believe there could be new features in terms of the latest technology."
"The product should be expanded to include more hardware, beyond Cisco and Juniper devices."
"There could be automated processes to retrieve the CVS and create a compliance tool."
"It is tedious to scale the solution."
"The native UI should be simplified because it is outdated and a little bit over-complicated."
