We performed a comparison between BMC Client Management and Cisco Meraki Systems Manager (MDM+EMM) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about JAMF, Microsoft, Kandji and others in Mobile Device Management (MDM)."One feature I like, that was especially valuable during the pandemic, is remote control. Remote control grants administrators and support personnel access to the laptops and PCs of employees (who might be working from home) in order to fix any issues that come up as and when they come up, even without having to wait for a support request."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its patching capabilities and the help it offers when it comes to use cases, like prompting for the reboot after a certain period of time."
"The most valuable features of the solution are patch management and software license management."
"It's a scalable solution. We have deployed it for customers using 3000 nodes to those using 300,000 nodes."
"The support from BMC Client Management is very good."
"The inventory and patch management tools are very valuable."
"The product provides a universal dashboard."
"The most valuable features include remote inventory analysis, security features like geofencing, and software distribution."
"It's a very easy solution for the most part, it's very easy to implement and very easy to administer."
"We experience no downtime, no breakdowns, all the user readings are exact, and it gives us quick analysis so we can apply security measures."
"The most valuable features of Cisco Meraki Systems Manager (MDM+EMM) are its ability to do geofencing for devices, manage thousands of devices with only a push of a button, and quick application deployment in seconds. It's amazing. For example, in an education scenario, you can deploy an application update for thousands of iPads in two clicks."
"The cloud manager is user-friendly, and I can manage everything from one dashboard."
"It's very easy to just keep adding devices as needed."
"The most significant benefit is that the deployment is quick and painless. You don't need a specialized IT department to implement and scale the network. It's easy to maintain, too. It only requires one or two network administrators."
"BMC Client Management supports only iOS devices. It would be good if they would support Android as well."
"It would be good if BMC Client Management can perform vulnerability assessment scanning at the endpoint on its own and mitigate that. Then, we wouldn't have to rely on a third party VA tool. I would like to see this application move to being a web-based one."
"BMC Client Management could improve in the area of integration."
"The solution needs to add whitelisting because many customers request it."
"The on-premises version of BMC Client Management has powerful remote control functionality and decent compliance features, but these features both rely on the discovery tool in order to gain a complete set of insights about the endpoint's environment. Now, BMC's discovery solution depends on having an agent installed in each endpoint and sometimes the agent doesn't work properly, making it difficult to get an accurate understanding of the environment (including special topologies) even with BMC's discovery tool."
"The solution does not offer the functionality of remote access to users."
"Because Cisco has improved a lot and is competing with other technologies that are innovative and brand new to the market, the only improvements they have to make are to keep up with the current competition and remain competitive with other solutions."
"The tool's pricing needs to be more flexible like Cisco's."
"Security could be improved, and there could be more features that enable you to customize the end customer solution."
"Linux compatibility needs improvement."
"The solution can be expensive."
"They need to allocate more energy in terms of their offering to devices that are not Apple devices."
"Meraki is limiting our connections."
"It doesn't seem to be able to establish some VPN tunnels with other devices in a particular way that such as an ASA can do for us."
