"The network security of BMC TrueSight Network Automation has been the best feature.""The compliance management, patching, and OS upgrades are useful features.""The log audit and historical configurations are the most valuable feature.""We use it to back up configurations so the configuration management is valuable for us.""It has the best automation features.""The most valuable feature of BMC TrueSight Network Automation is compliance management, configuration backup, and configuration 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.""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."

More BMC TrueSight Network Automation Pros →

"If you install one node on Network Node Manager and want to scale it up, it's pretty easy to create more nodes.""Our monitoring and network teams of less than 100 people use this solution. The availability and fault monitoring are good.""The platform has good stability.""A good enterprise-level solution.""It is stable for fault and availability.""It's quite a mature solution.""You can utilize the main file from various vendors for integration.""Most valuable function would have to the internal causal engine and its root cause analyzer which keep us updated on critical errors and incidents in our network environment."

Cons
"China blocks Google and Google Play Store, which makes installation challenging. Microsoft Intune is a company software, which has to be installed to the app portal or Microsoft Software Center.""Cost is the biggest factor for us right now. Microsoft Intune and AD P1 together in a bundle is a good thing to have, but it is very costly compared to other products in the market. Otherwise, Microsoft Intune is the best.""Intune's third-party patch management could be better. It should be easier for the average system admin to keep non-Microsoft applications updated.""Deploying an app can be a complex process due to dependencies.""The product needs to upgrade itself when the server is overloaded.""I think there should be a better tracking of the cell phones used on the Intune.""They could also make it easier to use because there are some other products that may be easier to use in terms of the look and feel of the dashboard.""The solution requires Mac support."

More Microsoft Intune Cons →

"I believe there could be new features in terms of the latest technology.""There could be automated processes to retrieve the CVS and create a compliance tool.""BMC TrueSight Network Automation can improve by having a better UI. The overall quality of the UI could be better.""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.""The product should be expanded to include more hardware, beyond Cisco and Juniper devices.""They need to have a single sign-on.""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."

More BMC TrueSight Network Automation Cons →

"They should add AI options in the product's next release.""The dashboards are not customizable and it's not user-friendly.""The deployment architecture and installation part needs improvement.""The way the solution currently works means I'm not able to customize my own reports.""Micro Focus Network Node Manager is not the best when it comes to drilling down for more visibility, especially regarding traffic.""We had some issues with some of the features, some modules are not meeting expectations.""As the technologies evolve, also these solutions or the monitoring tools should evolve to cover the progress in technology, including capabilities related to monitoring of virtualized devices today, as the DNS is on the table in this way.""The solution should integrate with NAC servers."

    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.

    OpenText Network Node Manager i (NNMi) delivers powerful capabilities enabling NOCs to manage modern networks. NNMi Smart Plug-ins expand NNMi into specialized environments, helping your team reduce time to resolve issues. NNMi is a core component of Network Operations Management.
