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.

Achieve cost-effective and efficient operations with automated compliance and patch management
Regarding the patch management feature, I find it perfect in BMC TrueSight Server Automation; however, the only problem is with application software, as operating system patch management is perfect. What I am trying to have is application software running on the server segment. Sometimes they use browsers, PDF readers, and Java, so patching these application or utility software is a challenge due to the large number and the different versions. I have some concerns regarding BMC TrueSight Server Automation that could be improved, particularly in the reporting part. The pending patches report generated after the analysis only reflects the job executed, but in a distributed environment where multiple teams manage servers, central governance requires server status updates driven by servers rather than jobs.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It helps implement conditional access policies to restrict mobile users from accessing potentially dangerous emails."
"Dynamic groups allow us to set conditions for automatic membership, eliminating the need for user intervention or manual review and ensuring a seamless workflow."
"Microsoft Intune has never crashed for me; it always works without fail."
"The solution is stable."
"Third party integrations are very convenient to use with Microsoft Intune."
"Easy to use."
"The best part of Intune is application deployment. We can deploy an application to several users with a single click. We can use conditional access, granting access to users based on certain conditions, such as location, platform, etc."
"Comparing this to having an endpoint management solution, the efficiency gain may be up to 80%."
"Scalability is good."
"The most important feature is the schedulings."
"You can easily get the patching link. Patches can be deployed easily with a single click, making deployment straightforward. This eliminates the need for constant monitoring. You can deploy the necessary patches with one click, ensuring everything is signed correctly, and all issues are resolved."
"The stability of this solution seems to be good; so far, the automation we do in the background has run on schedule, and the functionality is really good."
"BMC Bladelogic Automation can be used across many OS platforms, providing us flexibility for deployments."
"The solution is stable."
"BMC Bladelogic Automation can be used across many OS platforms, providing us flexibility for deployments."
"The ability to script and create BL packages to perform various functions makes automating our environment relatively easy to do."
"Before OS Deployer, I used Microsoft WDS, which requires more manual labor than OS Deployer."
 

Cons

"Manually syncing devices to enforce policies is cumbersome."
"The feature that allows us to import the business application from the configuration manager to Intune is not very good at this time."
"Sometimes the syncing is inconsistent. I'm confident that the devices are checking in every eight hours, but sometimes the devices aren't picking up the settings as quickly as I would expect."
"The pricing could be improved."
"There needs to be more support for Mac operating systems."
"The current Intune reporting functionality could benefit from some improvements."
"The solution can have some compliance problems in general and the end-point user can bypass easily the company policies in Intune."
"The worst aspect is the reporting."
"More use cases can be automated. The user interface of BMC TrueSight Server Automation could benefit from enhancements, as it currently lacks refinement."
"Scaling the environment during setup at larger organizations with 10,000 employees gets complicated."
"I would like to see more container integration in the next release of this solution."
"Cost of ownership can be quite substantial"
"Resource management on the base servers is sluggish and could be improved."
"Another area for improvement is group scheduling if I'm trying to do all the servers. For example, if I want to do all the 2012 Servers - since the patches are the same for all of them - I can't do so."
"The complexity of it and the time to implement it drove us to a different solution."
"We encountered some reporting issues. Also, we needed to gather information from the backend before the product execution. The output's format is not good."
"I'd like to see more detailed explanations and support for how to use it through PXE."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Intune's pricing is competitive. For example, the license of Blackberry's Enterprise Mobility Suite was costly, but Intune is affordable. It is included as an additional feature when you buy security enhancements for your organization. For example, let's say I have fifty users in my organization and all of them are using Microsoft cloud services, like Teams, Office 365, and OneDrive."
"I liked the tool's pricing until P2 came into effect. I am unsure about the current value versus the cost of the new licensing model."
"If you're ever going to buy an Office 365 environment, then pricing is reasonable given all that it does, but if you're not, then you might find the pricing expensive."
"It's affordable. It's cheaper if you have an Office 365, E5, or E3 subscription because everything is there."
"The pricing is not cheap, especially with inflation. They've had to increase their prices. It's not excessive, but alright."
"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."
"Microsoft's licensing is more flexible and adaptive than its competitors."
"Microsoft Intune costs about $7 per user per month, which is somewhat on the pricier end. That said, it's a reliable product, so it's fair."
"The solution is quite expensive compared to other vendors."
"Licensing is a bit pricey. Be mindful about the components that you need and buy as appropriate."
"The product's pricing depends on the number of servers."
"The product is expensive."
"We're looking at less than $100,000 USD for this solution."
