Find out what your peers are saying about Red Hat, Microsoft, HCLTech and others in Configuration Management."The stability of Microsoft Intune is good."
"One of the standout features of Intune is its seamless accessibility to work data, eliminating the need to be tied to an office or a desktop."
"We have a BYOD policy, and this solution helps us manage our devices."
"One of the biggest advantages of Microsoft Intune is that it brings the management of Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and even Linux under a single pane of glass."
"Application deployment and keeping the devices secure no matter where they are, by having this cloud solution — that has been great."
"The solution has reduced the risk of security breaches by 30%."
"It's very informative when there is an error. It allows us to backtrace where the error is and resolve that ourselves. It's a bit of a Swiss Army penknife. We find that it fixes most issues."
"Stable solution at a good price."
"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."
"It gives us more speed to deliver services and applications, and we rely on security."
"Scalability is good."
"Technical support is good."
"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."
"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 the impact analysis."
"Helps me perform changes in connected infrastructure thanks to the discovery features."
"I would like some integration with the Microsoft reporting platform Power BI."
"Integration with Mac devices requires some improvement."
"Deploying an app can be a complex process due to dependencies."
"When somebody has a customized application or their own company's application, we cannot deploy that application."
"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."
"I think that there is room for improvement with the reporting. If this is done, it will be a better product."
"Microsoft Intune fails a lot when it comes to device compliance."
"The backend of Microsoft Intune needs to be improved. We have seen a little bit of delay as compared to other MDM solutions. That needs to be improved. A little bit more granularity should also be added"
"I would like to see more container integration in the next release of this solution."
"We've had to increase RAM and CPU processing in order to alleviate some of the sluggishness during patching."
"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."
"Scaling the environment during setup at larger organizations with 10,000 employees gets complicated."
"There is no other functionality available to patch the containers that we need to include."
"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."
"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."
"Resource management on the base servers is sluggish and could be improved."
"The native UI should be simplified because it is outdated and a little bit over-complicated."
