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."It helps implement conditional access policies to restrict mobile users from accessing potentially dangerous emails."
"Remote Wipe and Autopilot is one of the best features."
"The initial setup is not overly complex or difficult."
"It's easy to manage."
"Intune can wipe devices. For example, if a disgruntled employee wants to leak the data on their company phone, Intune can terminate their access and wipe the entire device with a click."
"We are using the mobile feature, and we are also using MDM to lock the devices, to push restrictions, et cetera"
"The solution is easy to use and it has good performance."
"The initial setup is not complex."
"The log audit and historical configurations are the most valuable feature."
"It is helpful if you schedule daily or weekly archiving for your config groups. Then, you can go by what are in those configuration groups, before and after, if you make changes. So, configuration management is really helpful in network management."
"This product has helped us because we can now do many tasks at once. Rather than copy one file to one device, we can do an entire group at one time."
"Depending on who's looking at the data, they need to configure that data in different ways, and the dashboards help us to do that better than what was previously available."
"The backup and restore configurations are really helpful for a number of network devices, as you can automate them, then know what changes have been done, who made the changes, etc. So, it's quite helpful in the network management area."
"The most valuable feature of BMC TrueSight Network Automation is compliance management, configuration backup, and configuration management."
"The network security of BMC TrueSight Network Automation has been the best feature."
"We use it to back up configurations so the configuration management is valuable for us."
"Technical support is great. When we have sent urgent tickets and they do reply back within fifteen minutes."
"It can scale well."
"The integration is quite good."
"It is easy to deploy to licenses."
"This solution enables you to centralize the rules and the configuration of all the equipment."
"The setup is very simple."
"Fortinet has the option of synchronization in the cloud, so you can manage everything if you have a cloud account."
"We look at the traffic to segment the network and it improves and increases the performance. When we have a mobile connection and local laptops are on the same network. We have seen a big performance upgrade."
"Intune does not provide real-time visibility."
"The policies we had in SCCM and AD offered features that are missing from Microsoft Intune."
"The configuration could be better by consolidating options and making it simpler."
"For an existing customer who has an SCCM, it would need to be upgraded to an MECM first before I can introduce Microsoft Intune."
"There is room for improvement in integrating additional features such as Purview and SharePoint activities into Intune."
"There are items that require improvements. One is the controls from iOS."
"Microsoft Intune lags market leaders, such as Apperian, in its MAM capabilities."
"Intune has some limitations when it comes to application updates for third-party applications. You can schedule an update, but when it's a package setup, you need to supercede and replace it each time."
"There could be automated processes to retrieve the CVS and create a compliance tool."
"I would like to see more device supported features, mostly on the new brands and models coming in. For any new version or model, it should be supported by the tool, especially the newest versions. For example, the newest devices, like Aruba Wireless, and routers need support from the tool."
"I believe there could be new features in terms of the latest technology."
"For customized compliance, it takes some effort to implement things. If the device configuration is quite complex, then you have to do quite number of customizations in the DNA tool for out-of-the-box compliance. These regular expressions have to be modified based on the requirements of the compliance."
"It is tedious to scale the solution."
"BMC TrueSight Network Automation can improve by having a better UI. The overall quality of the UI could be better."
"We've been working with BMC support in various ways such as to allow for the high-availability components to the TSIMs to work together. There have been issues there. We've seen randomness in how other pieces of the software work. Integration with the Presentation Server and the TSIMs has been a challenge. The ports that are required for HA to be utilized were not clearly documented anywhere. In fact, they still aren't documented online anywhere, even though we managed to pull it out of some of their support people."
"They need to have a single sign-on."
"It requires a lot of resources. This is the main challenge."
"The solution has some bugs."
"Their EDR products could be better. They need to dedicate more R&D to that area."
"You cannot integrate with other solutions."
"The scalability has room for improvement."
"Its licensing model should be improved."
"It would be better if it were easier to run a routing protocol. In the next release, I would like them to enhance some features in the GUI rather than CLI or OSP. For example, whenever a customer generates an ISP directly on the firewall, it's complicated to configure the routing protocol."
"The information extraction through command lines was could improve to some extent. Although there were some command lines available, there were not enough options. For instance, I needed to obtain the management IP address of my two Fortigates, but the Fortinet FortiManager did not provide me with the IP address on the LAN interface. I attempted to find this information through the command line but was unsuccessful. I also searched for articles on the internet, but could not find a solution. This is an aspect that could be improved or potentially there is a method to access this information that I have yet to discover."
