Find out what your peers are saying about Red Hat, Microsoft, HCLTech and others in Configuration Management."The most important thing for me is the autopilot feature."
"Mobile device management is most valuable."
"The one feature we find most useful is the Mobile Application Manager. There are two types, we have the complete MDM and the Mobile Application Manager(MAM). We don't give our users phones, it is their own personal phone, and we need to allow them to have access to the company detail on their phone. We need to create a balance between their own personal data and the company data. We deploy the Mobile Application Manager for them so that we won't be able to interfere with their own personal data."
"Internet-based access with security is what I have found to be most valuable. It is also a stable and scalable solution."
"The dashboards, the security, and the customization capabilities work very well for us."
"The product has eased the deployment of Microsoft apps to the devices. We can manage it properly. We can control it and push the updates. Another company helped us with the deployment. However, we can do it internally."
"It allows our clients to have the confidence to centrally manage policies for security. It helps them in securing the organization from a technology aspect."
"The reporting and analytics features in Microsoft Intune have been a lifesaver."
"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."
"The most important feature is the schedulings."
"The product's valuable feature is its ability to conduct patching for multiple servers simultaneously."
"The solution is stable."
"BladeLogic lets users view the filesystem with minimal authorization to the server."
"Can standardize patching and deployments across affiliates."
"It gives us more speed to deliver services and applications, and we rely on security."
"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."
"The solution provides good security for firewalls in the banking industry."
"The pricing can be expensive if you are not combining it with other products."
"I would like to see easier pushdowns. Currently, we have to package our own software and then push it. Intune can make that way easier and integrate applications, such as Zoom and Adobe Acrobat, that are used by a lot of enterprise or corporate organizations."
"The solution could improve its flexibility."
"Enhancements for managing MacOS more comprehensively would be beneficial."
"There can be some added features, such as an improved dashboard. Any new feature that could be a benefit to our customers would be good."
"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."
"In an upcoming release, I would like to see some kind of analytics report."
"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."
"I would like to see more container integration in the next release of this solution."
"The setup of this suite is very complicated. It needs to be simplified."
"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."
"BMC TrueSight Server Automation's scripting needs improvement."
"The architecture is big, so the initial setup is not a straightforward task."
"We've had to increase RAM and CPU processing in order to alleviate some of the sluggishness during patching."
"Provisioning needs to be more user-friendly. We were using BladeLogic for provisioning, but due to a lot of issues and complications, we had to stop using provisioning with this tool."
"Reports cannot be generated manually or without running a job."
