We performed a comparison between BMC TrueSight Server Automation and Microsoft Intune 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."With BMC, we even configured applications, like IE or things that were Java-related. When we scheduled the jobs, it worked fine. It saved us time and there was no need for resources to monitor them."
"As this solution provides strong support and has multiple use cases, it is worth the cost."
"Compliance is also huge... By tying it to Atrium Orchestrator, our workflow tool, we'll be able to have a closed loop where we identify a compliance issue, cut CRs, get them approved, and then be able to execute these CRs and more seamlessly fix these issues on the fly."
"BMC Bladelogic Automation can be used across many OS platforms, providing us flexibility for deployments."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to remediate quickly and efficiently across a number of IT assets at the same time. It takes away manual efforts from the team to go out and fix those vulnerabilities through patching, conflict updates, etc."
"The ability to script and create BL packages to perform various functions. This makes automating our environment relatively easy to do."
"BMC support is great. They usually can answer any of our questions in a short amount of time and solve our most complex issues."
"Server Automation's best feature is automated patching. It also helps us automate compliance and report generation. We can even integrate TrueSight Server Automation with a vulnerability management solution to remedy vulnerabilities by applying patches, deploying scripts, or changing registry entries."
"The policy and compliance monitoring of devices and the software deployment are most valuable."
"While I don't think you can ever have full visibility and control, Intune certainly allows us to see the applications being used and tells us if things like Windows patches aren't applied to machines. It does a good job. That visibility makes life a little easier."
"It has a useful device management feature."
"Conditional access helps me control uncontrolled access."
"Autopilot is the most valuable feature."
"I like that we can implement conditional access."
"Autopilot is the most valuable feature."
"It is a very stable and scalable cloud-only solution."
"Provisioning needs to be more user-friendly. We were using BladeLogic for provisioning, but due to a lot of issues and complications, we had to stop using provisioning with this tool."
"We would like to see this solution handle more multitasking."
"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."
"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."
"There is no option to see all the servers we patch and we cannot find what the server status is. Of course, we can what has been completed and what is pending and which servers have failed, but we cannot find server status from the BMC tool. For example, is the RDP up or not. We are using separate scripts for that."
"Resource management on the base servers is sluggish and could be improved."
"We've had to increase RAM and CPU processing in order to alleviate some of the sluggishness during patching."
"A better CLI Database cleanup tool would help us with our regular maintenance of BladeLogic Server Automation."
"An area for improvement is the absence of seamless integration, particularly with external dashboards."
"There are a few security features that are not available in Microsoft Intune, when compared to other products."
"The solution can have some compliance problems in general and the end-point user can bypass easily the company policies in Intune."
"There needs to be more support for Mac operating systems."
"The installation could be improved to be simplified."
"They could also make it easier to use because there are some other products that may be easier to use in terms of the look and feel of the dashboard."
"The reports that are generated aren't so great. They don't give a lot of meaning so far, but that could be down to user knowledge than the actual reporting side of things. I'm not a big user of it, but I was a bigger user of MaaS360, and we used to be able to run weekly and monthly reports. In the case of any deviations. we'd get a warning immediately. That's not so easy to do or to get in place for Intune. This could be just a user issue, but when I compare both, that's the only thing that's lacking for me."
"It would help if administrators could pinpoint the exact location of a stolen device to help law enforcement retrieve it and apprehend the suspect."
