We performed a comparison between BMC TrueSight Network Automation and DX Spectrum 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 key benefit of Intune is its integration with the Microsoft ecosystem."
"We use a local Active Directory, but we weren't able to manage all our on-site systems without a solution like Intune, and we needed to deploy software like VPNs and other things. It's seamless now to to this through Intune."
"Stable product that's easy to set up compared to other MDM products."
"It is quite policy-enabled, so you can build pretty much any policy to manage remote endpoints."
"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 detail 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."
"The ability to block and erase remote devices is valuable to us, especially when those devices are lost."
"The stability of Microsoft Intune is good."
"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."
"We use it to back up configurations so the configuration management is valuable for us."
"The log audit and historical configurations are the most valuable feature."
"The compliance management, patching, and OS upgrades are useful 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."
"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."
"It has the best automation 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 network security of BMC TrueSight Network Automation has been the best feature."
"The most valuable feature is the event correlation mechanism."
"Scalability is a highly rated feature of this solution. It is better than some of the other tools that I've used in terms of scalability. We scaled it to tens of thousands of devices."
"What I like best is the configuration management functionality."
"We can plan changes and replacement of end-of-life products in our environment very well because it's very accurate."
"The stability of the product is key. It never breaks, really. The stability and reliability of the Spectrum product have been top-notch."
"I have found the cross analysis feature to be the most valuable."
"The most valuable features have been the interface and the ability to do equipment management."
"The containerization of different objects was very helpful in building an org structure. Being able to separately manage your MSP clients with separate visibility was also helpful."
"The reporting is subpar. That's the only issue we have with Intune. We use another solution for that purpose."
"It would be helpful if there was proactive remediation."
"It needs incorporation of Knox, ZeroTouch, etc."
"Sometimes, updating a client policy is very difficult. This needs to be improved."
"Onboarding of endpoint devices is not straightforward. The onboarding process was a little heavier than I thought it would be. That's the key improvement area. Obviously, the more control you have over the devices, the better it is."
"The solution could be improved by the opportunity to connect third-party application databases, such as Chocolatey or another setup store, to Intune."
"Enhancements for managing MacOS more comprehensively would be beneficial."
"There are some issues using the solution with macOS and iOS, and it offers limited granular control with them. Intune works better on Windows and Android."
"There could be automated processes to retrieve the CVS and create a compliance tool."
"The product should be expanded to include more hardware, beyond Cisco and Juniper devices."
"BMC TrueSight Network Automation can improve by having a better UI. The overall quality of the UI could be better."
"We've been working with BMC support in various ways such as to allow for the high-availability components to the TSIMs to work together. There have been issues there. We've seen randomness in how other pieces of the software work. Integration with the Presentation Server and the TSIMs has been a challenge. The ports that are required for HA to be utilized were not clearly documented anywhere. In fact, they still aren't documented online anywhere, even though we managed to pull it out of some of their support people."
"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."
"I believe there could be new features in terms of the latest technology."
"They need to have a single sign-on."
"It is tedious to scale the solution."
"There should be a facility to integrate with other monitoring applications that are currently running in the environment."
"Make it easier to certify devices."
"I would recommend AI capability built-in so it becomes more predictable and we jump ahead of the curve. This is the one really important feature I would really like to see in any product that provides alarms."
"The platform is complicated to use."
"It doesn't really allow for multi-tenancy. If you're an ISP or an MSP and you want to use this tool to provide these types of fault management services to your customers, you would need a separate SpectroSERVER for each customer..."
"It needs better integration with other CA products."
"The solution's stability needs improvement."
"We want to make our own choice for the AIOps solution and do not want to be forced to use the Broadcom OI solution by default."
