We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Intune enables us to manage our devices from anywhere.""The solution is easy to use and it has good performance.""The ability to push applications on devices is valuable. You do not have to manually install applications one by one. If you like to use ten different applications, you do not have to manually go and download them one by one. Intune can compile a package for you, and then you can just push them from the admin center.""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.""The solution has reduced the risk of security breaches by 30%.""If you need only to load a specific profile and you don't have deep security functionalities, et cetera, Intune is very nice and good.""We can securely manage both company-owned devices and personal devices enrolled in our BYOD program.""The reporting and analytics features in Microsoft Intune have been a lifesaver."

More Microsoft Intune Pros →

"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 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.""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.""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 most valuable feature of BMC TrueSight Network Automation is compliance management, configuration backup, and configuration management.""The log audit and historical configurations are the most valuable feature.""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."

More BMC TrueSight Network Automation Pros →

"It's a very complete product with a lot of functionality.""One of the notable advantages is its ability to provide quick responses, especially in critical situations.""The most valuable feature is the interface and its ease of use.""The most useful feature is infrastructure monitoring including switches and servers."

More HPE Intelligent Management Center Pros →

Cons
"The technical support could be improved.""Technical support is not that great.""It would be better if they can reduce the cost of the license.""Could benefit from user having more control over devices.""There is still a gap between SCCM and Intune, especially in the reporting, inventory, and software deployment areas.""It should be easier to define policies and comply with those policies.""I think that there is room for improvement with the reporting. If this is done, it will be a better product.""Intune has limited integration with non-Microsoft solutions."

More Microsoft Intune Cons →

"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.""It is tedious to scale the solution.""The product should be expanded to include more hardware, beyond Cisco and Juniper devices.""There could be automated processes to retrieve the CVS and create a compliance tool.""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.""BMC TrueSight Network Automation can improve by having a better UI. The overall quality of the UI could be better.""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."

More BMC TrueSight Network Automation Cons →

"The integration with other network devices needs improvement.""I would like to see additional modules included.""One notable deficiency is the lack of online support for the product.""HPE Intelligent Management Center is a bit slow."

  • More Microsoft Intune Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "There's a fee for the licenses themselves, per contract, and then we have a yearly licensing fee that's many thousands of dollars. But that's not just for TrueSight, that's also for support for ITSM, Atrium Orchestrator, BBNA, and other BMC tools in the environment."

Microsoft Intune makes it possible for your team members to work anywhere using their mobile devices. Microsoft Intune provides both the flexibility and the control needed for securing all your data on the cloud, no matter where the device with the data is located.

    Reviews from Real Users

    Microsoft Intune stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Two major ones are its ability to secure all devices under its management and the flexibility that the solution offers its users.

    A computing services manager notes, "Its security is most valuable. It gives us a way to secure devices, not only those that are steady. We do have a few tablets and other devices, and it is a way for us to secure these devices and manage them. We know they're out there and what's their status. We can manage their life cycle and verify that they're updated properly."

    The head of IT engineering at a financial services company writes, "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 details 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."

    Network automation and management software reduces network outages and downtime by automating configuration, change and compliance processes. Organizations depend on high performance across their network to keep the business running at peak efficiency but new security threats make it hard for network administrators to keep pace with the demands for new services and safeguard the health of the network.

    HPE Intelligent Management Center (IMC) is a comprehensive management platform that was built from the ground up to support the Fault, Configuration, Accounting, Performance, Security (FCAPS) model. It provides features and functions that are designed for comprehensive management of the network infrastructure. IMC was designed to provide the following functions:

    • Supports the ITIL operational center of excellence IT practices model.
    • Uses a single-pane management paradigm to enable end-to-end business management of IT services
    • Provides scalability by supporting distributed and hierarchical system architectures, through additional operating system and database support.
    • Uses an SOA model to provide full resource, service, and user management.
    • Enables integration of traditionally separate management tools using a modular design.
    • Enables enterprises to expand their infrastructure management in scale and to seamlessly accommodate new technologies at the same time.
