We performed a comparison between BMC TrueSight Server Automation and vCenter Configuration Manager 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."This product offers an alternative solution to other UEM (Unified Endpoint Management) solutions."
"We have one MDM that works with Windows, iOS, and Android."
"The most valuable includes managing everything from a single console."
"The performance of Microsoft Intune is good."
"It's easy to manage and easy to configure."
"Autopilot is the most valuable feature."
"A valuable feature is user enrollment, where users can enroll their devices in their organizations themselves."
"The many policies available in Microsoft Intune for managing our devices are valuable."
"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."
"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 most important feature is the schedulings."
"BMC support is great. They usually can answer any of our questions in a short amount of time and solve our most complex issues."
"Scalability is good."
"Can standardize patching and deployments across affiliates."
"As this solution provides strong support and has multiple use cases, it is worth the cost."
"It has many valuable features that serve many purposes."
"vCenter has some good user experience, and the initial setup is straightforward."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature of vCenter Configuration Manager is the automated processes."
"It's a very nice solution for our needs."
"The management of vCenter Configuration Manager can support the UI interface. It helps in monitoring, logging alert and performance, forecasting the system to provide services in the environment."
"The online configuration, especially in the latest version, is very good."
"I particularly appreciate the reporting capabilities, as they allow for in-depth analysis of logs and the ability to interpret alerts effectively, enabling informed responses."
"Microsoft Intune lags market leaders, such as Apperian, in its MAM capabilities."
"Microsoft needs to enhance device-level security, as sometimes when using Microsoft Intune, the device's operating system becomes stuck and requires a full uninstall to remove the Intune bug."
"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."
"There can be more logs. I do not have any other requirements."
"There is still a gap between SCCM and Intune, especially in the reporting, inventory, and software deployment areas."
"Intune's areas for improvement revolve around security and certificate management."
"It would be better if I could integrate it with my core group policy. I would like to have a group policy in my current environment, which has strict control, but those things are still missing. Although it has maximum compliance and security, it's not available on-premise."
"I expect Microsoft Intune to have more features in the cloud because there are two major functionalities that we need to be added. This is software metering and license management. These functionalities, for now, must be on-premise. For this purpose, we have set up a SQL Server and I hope that in near future this option will be in the cloud in Microsoft Intune."
"The architecture is big, so the initial setup is not a straightforward task."
"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."
"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've had to increase RAM and CPU processing in order to alleviate some of the sluggishness during patching."
"We would like to see this solution handle more multitasking."
"I would like to see more container integration in the next release of this solution."
"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."
"The solution needs to add its own backup system because it has issues integrating with third-party solutions."
"The VxRail configuration is very complicated and a little bit too difficult to guess what the final product is going to be."
"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's pricing is very high and could be improved."
"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 functions are not running in HTML5."
"Not very user friendly, too many configurations."
"The solution could provide even more capacity."
