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's unified endpoint management platform is invaluable."
"Conditional access has helped us tailor and enforce our security policies in the mobile space."
"The tool's most valuable feature is Autopilot."
"The most valuable feature of Intune is the central dashboard for compliance and policy management."
"I haven't used other mobile device management solutions, but compared to SCCM, we eliminate a lot of on-premises infrastructure and maintenance by using Intune."
"It provides control over all mobile devices that are being connected to the corporate network."
"The solution is easy to use and it has good performance."
"Microsoft's cloud comes with a lot of extra features that are free of charge."
"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 support is great. They usually can answer any of our questions in a short amount of time and solve our most complex issues."
"BMC Bladelogic Automation can be used across many OS platforms, providing us flexibility for deployments."
"BladeLogic lets users view the filesystem with minimal authorization to the server."
"Technical support is good."
"Scalability is good."
"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."
"It gives us more speed to deliver services and applications, and we rely on security."
"vCenter Configuration Manager is a mature solution with high quality."
"It has many valuable features that serve many purposes."
"We can scale the solution as needed."
"vCenter Configuration Manager is a very good product, it works well."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to see which virtual machines need more resources or are over-committed."
"vCenter Configuration Manager is an easy-to-use solution with good performance and cost management."
"The platform is straightforward and user friendly."
"The most valuable feature of vCenter Configuration Manager is the ease of provisioning."
"There needs to be more support for Mac operating systems."
"There are a couple of issues with stability."
"The Mac integration has room for improvement."
"The biggest problem we ever have is when something goes out of date after 30 days when nobody has logged into it. We do have a problem trying to get those back online. We've been working with Microsoft to resolve that problem, but that's been the only issue that we've had in the last few years."
"It needs certificate provisioning for S/MIME purposes."
"Its configuration is fairly complicated. You have to do quite a bit of discovery to be able to deploy it for a customer. You have to ask them a lot of questions. So, its initial deployment is the biggest challenge. They should make it easier to deploy with the use of Wizards or something else. During the deployment stage, there could be profiles for the customers who are particularly wanting to use certain feature sets of Intune."
"It needs incorporation of Knox, ZeroTouch, etc."
"No option to do end-to-en macOS management. Slow implementation of policies."
"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."
"We've had to increase RAM and CPU processing in order to alleviate some of the sluggishness during patching."
"The setup of this suite is very complicated. It needs to be simplified."
"Needs more use cases into compliance management and the remediation process."
"The architecture is big, so the initial setup is not a straightforward task."
"A better CLI Database cleanup tool would help us with our regular maintenance of BladeLogic Server Automation."
"BMC TrueSight Server Automation's scripting needs improvement."
"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."
"Not very user friendly, too many configurations."
"Acquiring certifications often require extensive training and successfully passing an exam, which can be costly and time-consuming, particularly if you already possess experience in the domain. As a result, this can increase the overall cost of obtaining certification and may present a challenge that requires addressing."
"The solution should allow for more customization."
"The product's high price is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"I think the logging side should be improved because it's pretty difficult to keep up to date VMware and with vCenter."
"The technical support could be faster."
"The technical support is not as responsive as it could be. They are slow to respond to our issues with a resolution. There should be online chat support added."
"The ease of setup and installations could be improved."
