We performed a comparison between BMC TrueSight Network Automation and OpenText Network Node Manager i 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."Autopilot is the most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune."
"Easy to use."
"The most important thing for me is the autopilot feature."
"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."
"The solution has reduced the risk of security breaches by 30%."
"It has helped with compliance. It has helped to ensure that devices comply with the organization's policy. If they are not compliant and secure, they cannot access the resources."
"One of the biggest advantages of Microsoft Intune is that it brings the management of Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and even Linux under a single pane of glass."
"Intune provides full endpoint visibility and IT control across device platforms. You can individualize it for your company with the Intune Company Portal app."
"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 network security of BMC TrueSight Network Automation has been the best feature."
"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 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."
"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."
"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."
"You can utilize the main file from various vendors for integration."
"Real time network monitoring application: It is very stable, which provides quick root cause analysis (RCA) for any network faults."
"It is a scalable product."
"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."
"It is stable for fault and availability."
"The best feature is the solution's entire credibility with all vendors."
"If you install one node on Network Node Manager and want to scale it up, it's pretty easy to create more nodes."
"In future releases, I would like to see better integration with Apple products."
"I think that there is room for improvement with the reporting. If this is done, it will be a better product."
"It would really be helpful to have the option to manage server operating systems as well, like Windows Server, at least. That way, we could scrap the use of SCCM, which requires a lot of on-premises infrastructure."
"Microsoft Intune needs to improve the initial login process."
"The policies we had in SCCM and AD offered features that are missing from Microsoft Intune."
"Microsoft Intune has a latency response time issue. The latency has room for improvement."
"It would be better if they can reduce the cost of the license."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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 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."
"It is tedious to scale the solution."
"When I open a ticket, usually they respond very late. Some of the people I negotiate with seem undertrained."
"Only to improve the GUI."
"The deployment architecture and installation part needs improvement."
"Micro Focus Network Node Manager is not the best when it comes to drilling down for more visibility, especially regarding traffic."
"The solution should integrate with NAC servers."
"The dashboards are not customizable and it's not user-friendly."
"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."
"Micro Focus Network Node Manager is not powered to drill down for traffic visibility."
