We performed a comparison between BMC TrueSight Server Automation and CA Server Automation based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Red Hat, Microsoft, HCLTech and others in Configuration Management."...Intune itself integrates with that entire Microsoft ecosystem. As an individual product itself, it's okay. It holds up. But when you start saying "I've bought this as part of a wider solution, as a company we are going Microsoft throughout," then it makes more sense to have Microsoft Intune... so you have that single dashboard."
"The solution is stable."
"A valuable feature is user enrollment, where users can enroll their devices in their organizations themselves."
"The initial setup is not complex."
"I like that we can implement conditional access."
"Users can make screenshots, and devices only need the minimal version of iOS."
"Internet-based access with security is what I have found to be most valuable. It is also a stable and scalable solution."
"I haven't used other mobile device management solutions, but compared to SCCM, we eliminate a lot of on-premises infrastructure and maintenance by using Intune."
"The solution is stable."
"BMC Bladelogic Automation can be used across many OS platforms, providing us flexibility for deployments."
"With BMC, we even configured applications, like IE or things that were Java-related. When we scheduled the jobs, it worked fine. It saved us time and there was no need for resources to monitor them."
"It makes deployment easier and allows us to put restrictions on the server using role-based authorization."
"Technical support is good."
"The best feature of the solution is patch automation."
"The most important feature is the schedulings."
"As this solution provides strong support and has multiple use cases, it is worth the cost."
"The solution provides good security for firewalls in the banking industry."
"It needs incorporation of Knox, ZeroTouch, etc."
"Intune does not provide real-time visibility."
"Microsoft Intune lacks the ability to provide seamless remote assistance or remote control."
"Intune has limited integration with non-Microsoft solutions."
"The reporting is subpar. That's the only issue we have with Intune. We use another solution for that purpose."
"I'd like some more reporting so that I don't have to delve into PowerShell and I can pull more of the local device information such as memory, apps installed, etc. It would be nice to be able to see the apps that are present there but might not be managed. For example, if they installed 7Zip, it could report that back via an installed program or feature to see what was currently installed."
"They should improve its compatibility with other operating systems such as iOS and Linux. It supports Linux but they still need to work on the iOS part."
"It would be good if, in addition to the minimal patching and compliance, we could also use Intune for application deployment. For instance, if a device is not patched, Intune should have the ability to push not only a Microsoft patch but also other patches, such as a browser patch."
"There is no other functionality available to patch the containers that we need to include."
"The number of APIs available within the tool needs improvement. At the moment, we have a couple of different scanning tools used within the organization, but only one of those is integrated back into Server Automation. There is another tool that they use in another part of the business where it doesn't have an out-of-the-box adaptor for it. We would have to go and create or develop something bespoke to be able to integrate it with that scanning tool. Whereas, with the other scanning tool, there was an API available. To make it easier, I would like to have more APIs available for different scanning tools within that line of business."
"The setup of this suite is very complicated. It needs to be simplified."
"We've had to increase RAM and CPU processing in order to alleviate some of the sluggishness during patching."
"Without any knowledge of the product, we used the KB articles to start working. As a result, we definitely did not have full knowledge of BMC BladeLogic... They need to provide a minimum of knowledge with training on YouTube or somewhere else."
"I would like to see a better methodology for handling REST calls and integration into the APIs. They add new APIs as they add functions, but they've missed some from older components which they still haven't added in. Some of the APIs are there but the CLI calls are not there."
"Resource management on the base servers is sluggish and could be improved."
"I would like to see more container integration in the next release of this solution."
"Reports cannot be generated manually or without running a job."
