We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Agile and easy to deploy MDM solution that covers the maximum number of policies. Stable, scalable, and with knowledgeable technical support.""It supports end-users who tend to lock their devices quite frequently. Its conditional access policy helps us keep the users logged into their devices.""The conditional access policies that we set up are very useful.""The initial setup is not overly complex or difficult.""It's normally able to meet 100% expectations of our customers.""I like that it's very good and very simple. I found that we just needed to have a proper subscription for an Intune tenant, and from the subscription, if we have the right role assigned, like the global admin role or the owner role, we can use Microsoft cloud resources. With the help of that, we can do many things like setting up Microsoft Intune in the cloud to create our virtual machines. All these can be done, and the steps are very simple. I really liked it. I like features like Windows Auto-Enrollment. I like it very much because whenever you supply it to the end-user, it will be ready to use immediately. The end-user only needs to provide the user credentials, and then they are good to go. I also really like Cloud PC, which was recently launched on Azure.""Microsoft Endpoint Manager is not expensive overall, especially for small environments.""Users can make screenshots, and devices only need the minimal version of iOS."

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

More BMC TrueSight Network Automation Pros →

"It allows me to do more of the basic firewall features, like traffic management and others, in a single pane of glass.""The most valuable feature is the management from a single pane of glass.""A centralized platform is crucial for efficiently managing all of our switches, which were previously handled individually, leading to significant challenges.""The most valuable feature is the technical support, as it is better than others."

Cons
"There could be more wizard-driven policy development or creation. Some of the policies can get quite complex. If they have a wizard that assists the administrators in creating the policy, that will be a great job.""There can be more logs. I do not have any other requirements.""Reporting and troubleshooting for the application deployment could be better. It's very difficult to understand.""The pricing could be improved.""In the past, I raised some tickets for the enhancement feature, which was missing in 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.""Lacking in features such as Wi-Fi and network security.""It would be beneficial to have a more straightforward understanding of Intune's capabilities, presented in a simplified manner."

More Microsoft Intune Cons →

"They need to have a single sign-on.""I believe there could be new features in terms of the latest technology.""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.""BMC TrueSight Network Automation can improve by having a better UI. The overall quality of the UI could be better.""It is tedious to scale the solution.""The product should be expanded to include more hardware, beyond Cisco and Juniper devices.""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.""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."

More BMC TrueSight Network Automation Cons →

"The upgrades are very time-consuming and difficult, and they often have to rebuild the product.""I would like to see Space created to fully functional, where it's got multiple modules, particularly SD-WAN working on Corporate, or maybe become part of the Orchestrator portion.""I would like to them include network real-time performance and come up with a dashboard report.""Its interface should be improved and enhanced to offer various functions, with flexible pricing"

  • 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."

    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.
