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.

Though the initial setup phase is straightforward, its stability needs to improve
The solution's initial setup is straightforward. The deployment process took me around ten minutes to fifteen minutes. I can do the configuration. Setting up Eureka Servers and all those things, it will take three-four hours. For deployment, you need to add Spring Cloud plugin to a manual, and then you can start to build, and it will be built. It is not complex, so it is very straightforward since one just needs to add the plugin. Spring Cloud is a component. It is not a, like, tool or software since it is a free cloud, for which a Eureka Server is needed for configuration. So, it is a dependency you need to add to your Maven. Then, you can work on that. So, it will not take much time for engineers to do that.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has a useful device management feature."
"Intune makes our organization more secure and flexible. We can onboard new employees faster and more securely. We are a governmental organization with strict regulations, and Intune helps us comply with those requirements."
"Among the most valuable features are the Company Portal that is built into Intune, and the update rings so that we can manage what types of future updates the devices get."
"We handle the distribution software, collect metrics for app usage, and create policies to make the device compliant for Microsoft Intune."
"Configuration profiles, remediation, scripts, and auto-pilot features are very good."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is that it is more of a one-stop shop, providing an easier experience."
"The cloud base is perfect for me."
"It saves time, money, and resources; when there was a local liaison, managing everything was a significant challenge, but with Microsoft Intune, it has become much easier—around 60% to 70% easier—and in terms of reliability and ease of use, it excels."
"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."
"BladeLogic lets users view the filesystem with minimal authorization to the server."
"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."
"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."
"The product's valuable feature is its ability to conduct patching for multiple servers simultaneously."
"It makes deployment easier and allows us to put restrictions on the server using role-based authorization."
"It gives us more speed to deliver services and applications, and we rely on security."
"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."
 

Cons

"No option to do end-to-en macOS management. Slow implementation of policies."
"Intune should support platforms other than Windows. We have encountered several limitations, especially when handling iOS devices."
"The solution could be improved by the opportunity to connect third-party application databases, such as Chocolatey or another setup store, to Intune."
"Microsoft Intune's app deployment presents challenges for non-MSI and non-store apps, particularly EXEs, requiring the use of a Win32 wrapper tool and adding overhead to the process."
"Reporting needs improvement."
"It needs incorporation of Knox, ZeroTouch, etc."
"The information we receive at the device level needs improvement."
"Currently, BitLocker does not support BYOD enrollment, which is a product limitation."
"I would like to see a better methodology for handling REST calls and integration into the APIs. They add new APIs as they add functions, but they've missed some from older components which they still haven't added in. Some of the APIs are there but the CLI calls are not there."
"Resource management on the base servers is sluggish and could be improved."
"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."
"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."
"The setup of this suite is very complicated. It needs to be simplified."
"More use cases can be automated. The user interface of BMC TrueSight Server Automation could benefit from enhancements, as it currently lacks refinement."
"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."
"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."
"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

"They have categorized the licenses according to the size of the business. So, if it's a smaller organization, we can choose the license accordingly. If it's a big organization, then we can choose accordingly. Everything is clearly mentioned, and we can decide. It's suitable for all kinds of infrastructure, and that's very goo"
"Intune is included in the Microsoft 365 licensing package that we have."
"The pricing is competitive, but it is not cheap."
"Microsoft Intune is pretty reasonable. We have difficulty with Azure, which is probably why we have not put many assets in Azure. Everything we put there is very expensive."
"Microsoft Intune is included in the E5 license at no additional cost."
"While I don't have access to high-level financial information, I believe we have achieved lower costs with this implementation."
"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."
"Every customer used to purchase licenses based on their needs."
"Licensing is a bit pricey. Be mindful about the components that you need and buy as appropriate."
"The solution is quite expensive compared to other vendors."
"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."
"Spring Cloud is an open-source solution."
"Currently, we are not required to pay for licenses."
"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."
