We performed a comparison between BMC TrueSight Network Automation and BMC TrueSight Server Automation 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."
"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."
"The Microsoft Windows Autopilot and Defender policies are the most valuable features of this solution."
"Being able to manage the devices remotely is most valuable. We can push security requirements through Microsoft Intune."
"It has improve our organization through the remote management of non-domain joined devices."
"Technical support, in general, has been quite helpful."
"Easy to use."
"I like the tool's integration with Apple. Anyone who creates an ID in Intune will get an Apple ID."
"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."
"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."
"The log audit and historical configurations are the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of BMC TrueSight Network Automation is compliance management, configuration backup, and configuration management."
"We use it to back up configurations so the configuration management is valuable for us."
"The compliance management, patching, and OS upgrades are useful features."
"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."
"It has the best automation features."
"The best feature of the solution is patch automation."
"The ability to script and create BL packages to perform various functions. This makes automating our environment relatively easy to do."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to remediate quickly and efficiently across a number of IT assets at the same time. It takes away manual efforts from the team to go out and fix those vulnerabilities through patching, conflict updates, etc."
"Among the most valuable features is its flexibility and ability to work across multiple operating systems. Being able to execute some form of data collection and not have to worry about whether I'm working on a Linux box, or a Windows box, or the underlying OS, I can do these collections, get these results, and put them together in a uniform format which makes it easier to present back to management."
"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."
"Technical support is good."
"Can standardize patching and deployments across affiliates."
"There is room for improvement in integration and security as well."
"While Intune works perfectly well, the only potential downside is that the deployment could be a bit complex for some users."
"The documentation about the custom image setup could be better. Although Microsoft provides the steps to configure Intune or set up or deploy Intune, it doesn't have much information related to custom images. If you ask, "how can we deploy the custom image?" There is no information. The steps they mention ask you to connect to your on-premises environment or create your own image on the cloud itself once there is connectivity. But I needed to go to multiple websites to get all this information. I had to figure out how to upload the custom image if you want to use the on-premise custom image for Cloud PC. If you have the proper subscription, you must have the right access, like global admin or owner. Then you can add your custom image to that. There are no steps mentioned over there. Microsoft Intune doesn't have Chrome browser support. I would like to have that support because they will want it if we pitch the product to clients."
"Lacks the ability to deploy more ways of management, managing devices and processing the policies."
"The pricing could be improved."
"The difficulty of the the roll out is surprisingly difficult considering this product is supposed to be an integrated part of the 365 suite."
"The solution could be improved by the opportunity to connect third-party application databases, such as Chocolatey or another setup store, to Intune."
"In the past, I raised some tickets for the enhancement feature, which was missing in Intune."
"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."
"I'd like to be able to get more devices into compliance with standards, but that means running additional rule sets and that takes time."
"The product should be expanded to include more hardware, beyond Cisco and Juniper devices."
"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."
"It is tedious to scale the solution."
"TrueSight falls short when we are trying to gather large amounts of data from multiple servers. We need to do these tasks manually because there is no option to populate the data and export it to Excel, which is required. For example, let's say I'm trying to find out how many patches are missing on the servers and which ones have been installed. It's hard to automatically pull each server's data in an Excel format."
"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."
"Scaling the environment during setup at larger organizations with 10,000 employees gets complicated."
"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."
"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."
"We've had to increase RAM and CPU processing in order to alleviate some of the sluggishness during patching."
"BMC TrueSight Server Automation's scripting needs improvement."
