We performed a comparison between BMC TrueSight Server Automation and Spring Cloud 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."The central administration con dashboard is very easy to use and provides very good oversight on all that needs to be monitored."
"The security-related tools are excellent; these features allow us to secure devices, lock them down, and ensure compliance."
"Conditional access has helped us tailor and enforce our security policies in the mobile space."
"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."
"Stable product that's easy to set up compared to other MDM products."
"I like that we can implement conditional access."
"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."
"...Intune itself integrates with that entire Microsoft ecosystem. As an individual product itself, it's okay. It holds up. But when you start saying "I've bought this as part of a wider solution, as a company we are going Microsoft throughout," then it makes more sense to have Microsoft Intune... so you have that single dashboard."
"It makes deployment easier and allows us to put restrictions on the server using role-based authorization."
"The product's valuable feature is its ability to conduct patching for multiple servers simultaneously."
"BladeLogic lets users view the filesystem with minimal authorization to the server."
"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."
"Can standardize patching and deployments across affiliates."
"Scalability is good."
"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."
"BMC Bladelogic Automation can be used across many OS platforms, providing us flexibility for deployments."
"The solution's initial setup is straightforward. The deployment process took me around ten minutes to fifteen minutes."
"Spring Cloud integrates well."
"It offers excellent scalability."
"It would really be helpful to have the option to manage server operating systems as well, like Windows Server, at least. That way, we could scrap the use of SCCM, which requires a lot of on-premises infrastructure."
"Enhancements for managing MacOS more comprehensively would be beneficial."
"It would be great if Intune offered better data protection controls for BYOD Windows PCs."
"The solution could be improved by the opportunity to connect third-party application databases, such as Chocolatey or another setup store, to Intune."
"Its configuration is fairly complicated. You have to do quite a bit of discovery to be able to deploy it for a customer. You have to ask them a lot of questions. So, its initial deployment is the biggest challenge. They should make it easier to deploy with the use of Wizards or something else. During the deployment stage, there could be profiles for the customers who are particularly wanting to use certain feature sets of Intune."
"It doesn't economize when you scale up. We have over 14,000 employees, and we have between 7,500 and 8,000 city-owned or personal devices being used to conduct city business. Its price can be improved. It is not a cheap solution."
"In future releases, I would like to see better integration with Apple products."
"We only have major classifications for iOS and Android, but there are different brands that have different cycles of updates. If they can fine-tune it to make it more brand-specific, that would be even better."
"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."
"There is no other functionality available to patch the containers that we need to include."
"A better CLI Database cleanup tool would help us with our regular maintenance of BladeLogic Server Automation."
"Needs more use cases into compliance management and the remediation process."
"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."
"Resource management on the base servers is sluggish and could be improved."
"The setup of this suite is very complicated. It needs to be simplified."
"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."
"If there's a dashboard like the ones provided by Apigee or Kong, that will be useful."
"Stability is one area in the solution that needs to improve."
"It would be beneficial for the framework to become more lightweight and efficient when transitioning to the cloud."
