We performed a comparison between BMC TrueSight Server Automation and Spring Cloud 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."Intune provides full visibility into all active mobile device users. If their devices are noncompliant with our security policies, I have the flexibility to update them remotely."
"Intune enables us to manage our devices from anywhere."
"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."
"Great for software update needs, operating system version updates, and security policy enforcement."
"The solution is easy to use, simple to understand for those new to using it, and combined with the other Microsoft products it makes for an overall good package."
"Autopilot is a great feature. Most users are looking for a zero-touch deployment."
"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."
"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 gives us more speed to deliver services and applications, and we rely on security."
"BMC Bladelogic Automation can be used across many OS platforms, providing us flexibility for deployments."
"Scalability is good."
"The most important feature is the schedulings."
"The ability to script and create BL packages to perform various functions. This makes automating our environment relatively easy to do."
"Can standardize patching and deployments across affiliates."
"The product's valuable feature is its ability to conduct patching for multiple servers simultaneously."
"Technical support is good."
"The solution's initial setup is straightforward. The deployment process took me around ten minutes to fifteen minutes."
"Spring Cloud integrates well."
"It offers excellent scalability."
"It's the granularity: 'Is your firewall on? Is BitLocker on?' It's not amazing granularity. But I've looked into other products, like Duo, and they're all similar."
"The solution can have some compliance problems in general and the end-point user can bypass easily the company policies in Intune."
"It would be good if, in addition to the minimal patching and compliance, we could also use Intune for application deployment. For instance, if a device is not patched, Intune should have the ability to push not only a Microsoft patch but also other patches, such as a browser patch."
"The reporting is subpar. That's the only issue we have with Intune. We use another solution for that purpose."
"Microsoft Intune lacks the ability to provide seamless remote assistance or remote control."
"The synchronization could be improved."
"I would like to see easier pushdowns. Currently, we have to package our own software and then push it. Intune can make that way easier and integrate applications, such as Zoom and Adobe Acrobat, that are used by a lot of enterprise or corporate organizations."
"I know that their AI pieces are at the infancy stage, but allowing users to do more tagging for information would be an interesting thing because Intune also directly integrates with Azure. Because a lot of the devices are hosted with that, you also get a lot of tagging of user data and other things like that."
"The number of APIs available within the tool needs improvement. At the moment, we have a couple of different scanning tools used within the organization, but only one of those is integrated back into Server Automation. There is another tool that they use in another part of the business where it doesn't have an out-of-the-box adaptor for it. We would have to go and create or develop something bespoke to be able to integrate it with that scanning tool. Whereas, with the other scanning tool, there was an API available. To make it easier, I would like to have more APIs available for different scanning tools within that line of business."
"Resource management on the base servers is sluggish and could be improved."
"Scaling the environment during setup at larger organizations with 10,000 employees gets complicated."
"Without any knowledge of the product, we used the KB articles to start working. As a result, we definitely did not have full knowledge of BMC BladeLogic... They need to provide a minimum of knowledge with training on YouTube or somewhere else."
"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."
"The architecture is big, so the initial setup is not a straightforward task."
"We've had to increase RAM and CPU processing in order to alleviate some of the sluggishness during patching."
"There is no other functionality available to patch the containers that we need to include."
"It would be beneficial for the framework to become more lightweight and efficient when transitioning to the cloud."
"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."
