AkashKamble - PeerSpot reviewer
Enables management of multiple operating systems with a single license
The best feature is that it's a Microsoft product, so if anything goes wrong, we get quick support for anything required. Remote system functionality allows us to sit anywhere and take control of any device via remote management. We can enhance security for clients' laptops with built-in Microsoft Defender, which is available with the Microsoft Intune license. We use it for reporting purposes through endpoint analytics. When pushing scripting, there are two types available: remediation script and reservation script. Through endpoint analytics, you can push defender policies to clients. It helps with reporting, inventory updates, and monitoring tenant status health.

Helps with patching, OS upgrade, and security vulnerability management
We use the solution for patching, OS upgrades, and security vulnerability management The compliance management, patching, and OS upgrades are useful features. There could be automated processes to retrieve the CVS and create a compliance tool. I have been using BMC TrueSight Network Automation…

Highly scalable development of cloud-native applications that offers an extensive range of tools and features, with significant learning curve and complex configurations
We use it for building cloud-native applications and APIs and it helps us effectively manage various aspects of our application It enables you to create applications that can start up more quickly than a standard Spring Boot application. It would be beneficial for the framework to become more…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"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."
"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 detail 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."
"As the solution is a software as a service, the scalability is unlimited."
"Microsoft Intune brings all endpoint and security management tools into one place, and for app discovery, deployment, and automatic updating, it's reliable."
"Microsoft's cloud comes with a lot of extra features that are free of charge."
"The key benefit of Intune is its integration with the Microsoft ecosystem."
"Dynamic groups allow us to set conditions for automatic membership, eliminating the need for user intervention or manual review and ensuring a seamless workflow."
"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."
"We use it to back up configurations so the configuration management is valuable for us."
"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."
"It has the best automation features."
"The compliance management, patching, and OS upgrades are useful features."
"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."
"The network security of BMC TrueSight Network Automation has been the best feature."
"BMC is an excellent configuration manager. It allows you to configure your network easily and get the most out of it."
"It offers excellent scalability."
"Spring Cloud integrates well."
"The solution's initial setup is straightforward. The deployment process took me around ten minutes to fifteen minutes."
 

Cons

"The solution could improve its flexibility."
"Intune could be improved by expanding its third-party patching capabilities for a more comprehensive solution."
"Manually syncing devices to enforce policies is cumbersome."
"I rate Microsoft support four out of 10. Support is one area where Microsoft needs to improve a lot. I recently raised a ticket for a Microsoft Azure issue, and it took two and a half weeks for support to reply. They need to improve support across their entire catalog of products."
"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."
"There are challenges with Intune, specifically in reporting. Many third-party companies offer single-pane-of-glass reporting that shows you what your update environment looks like, how your patch is doing, application status, etc., but Intune's reporting is not intuitive. You can connect to Azure, monitoring, and the workbooks, but it's not streamlined."
"While no specific feature requires immediate improvement, the ongoing expansion of reporting and inventory capabilities promises to enhance its utility."
"Intune could be enhanced by automating application upgrades, similar to how it automates operating system upgrades."
"There could be automated processes to retrieve the CVS and create a compliance 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'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."
"They need to have a single sign-on."
"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."
"BMC TrueSight Network Automation can improve by having a better UI. The overall quality of the UI could be better."
"Stability is one area in the solution that needs to improve."
"If there's a dashboard like the ones provided by Apigee or Kong, that will be useful."
"It would be beneficial for the framework to become more lightweight and efficient when transitioning to the cloud."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In terms of the product price and licensing costs, my company finds the product to be reasonably priced."
"Intune is available as an individual product, but it also comes with Office 365 Premium or an Enterprise license, and the price varies for each version."
"The price is reasonable, but they should lower it a bit to make it more competitive. It's cheaper than AirWatch and other products, but I still feel like Microsoft can make a base version or with Exchange online or a la carte only Intune version which will be useful. A customer who doesn't want to go full-fledged E3 or E5 can take out or consume an Intune solution only for their purpose, and we want to target that customer."
"I am not that aware of the pricing, but as compared to other MDM solutions, Microsoft is providing a lot of things at the organizational level. So, it is quite reasonable as compared to other MDM solutions."
"Previously the price was $4 per month per user. Now it's $2.25 per user per month."
"Its price is quite okay. I wish they provide certain additional features with the same license."
"Microsoft Intune has been incorporated into our Microsoft E5 licenses."
"All security solutions worldwide are expensive. Microsoft has allowed a small scale of features within Microsoft Intune for cost-efficient solutions. If you want the full suite, you need to invest more to gain better security features."
"The solution is more costly than the other competitors."
"There's a fee for the licenses themselves, per contract, and then we have a yearly licensing fee that's many thousands of dollars. But that's not just for TrueSight, that's also for support for ITSM, Atrium Orchestrator, BBNA, and other BMC tools in the environment."
"The solution is worth the price."
"It is an open-source or free version solution. It also has a paid version, but we have used the open-source version for now."
"Currently, we are not required to pay for licenses."
"Spring Cloud is an open-source solution."
