We performed a comparison between BMC TrueSight Server Automation and Fortinet FortiGate Cloud 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."It provides control over all mobile devices that are being connected to the corporate network."
"The Asset Management and Auto Pilot are valuable features."
"The initial setup is not complex."
"It's easy to manage."
"There are so many features, but Windows Autopilot is one of the features that are very valuable for most customers."
"The ability to send configurations to our systems is valuable, particularly as we don't have a regular Windows AD server. Our current environment doesn't have a Windows AD, which limits our ability to push GPOs. However, this is where the solution can step in and help us push policies."
"I can reach devices or computers over the internet. I don't need to worry about the network connectivity between the offices. I can manage any device. That is the most important part."
"The Microsoft Windows Autopilot and Defender policies are the most valuable features of this solution."
"BMC support is great. They usually can answer any of our questions in a short amount of time and solve our most complex issues."
"Can standardize patching and deployments across affiliates."
"As this solution provides strong support and has multiple use cases, it is worth the cost."
"The solution is stable."
"The most important feature is the schedulings."
"Technical support is good."
"Server Automation's best feature is automated patching. It also helps us automate compliance and report generation. We can even integrate TrueSight Server Automation with a vulnerability management solution to remedy vulnerabilities by applying patches, deploying scripts, or changing registry entries."
"BMC Bladelogic Automation can be used across many OS platforms, providing us flexibility for deployments."
"The Fortianalyzer is the most valuable aspect of this solution"
"The hardware is reliable, and their support is excellent."
"The template will save time from being wasted on load balancing."
"I have found the SD-WAN, flexibility, and security the most valuable features."
"It's easy to use."
"The initial setup is relatively easy."
"The solution includes a very stable VPN and IPS."
"The most valuable features are management and integration."
"Intune's third-party patch management could be better. It should be easier for the average system admin to keep non-Microsoft applications updated."
"Intune's reporting and logging could be improved. When troubleshooting, it's difficult to collect the logs and determine what's happening. If I want to filter out the compliant devices, I can see it from the logs, but I would like the option to drill down further."
"The most important thing is reporting. They should improve their reporting. They should give a free hand to users. In SCCM, I can create my own reports. For example, in SCCM, I can create an inventory report for my PC or for all PCs, but in Intune, we don't have an option to create any report. Microsoft claims that Intune is a successor of SCCM, but SCCM is more powerful than Intune. So, they should develop Intune more and make it equivalent to SCCM. Then, their product will be great in the market."
"It should be simplified. I've worked with many different mobile device management solutions, and Intune is one of the more complex ones. It could be more simplified, and some of it is related to the wording that is being used, such as a configuration profile versus a policy. They really should have had different names to make it less confusing."
"The UI also needs improvements because it is complex for end-users. We have had feedback from a few users in our organization who found the UI is not feasible for tracking and analyzing all the processes and monitoring all the devices."
"The solution can have some compliance problems in general and the end-point user can bypass easily the company policies in Intune."
"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."
"Technical support is not that great."
"Needs more use cases into compliance management and the remediation process."
"Provisioning needs to be more user-friendly. We were using BladeLogic for provisioning, but due to a lot of issues and complications, we had to stop using provisioning with this tool."
"Resource management on the base servers is sluggish and could be improved."
"We've had to increase RAM and CPU processing in order to alleviate some of the sluggishness during patching."
"Scaling the environment during setup at larger organizations with 10,000 employees gets complicated."
"I would like to see more container integration in the next release of this solution."
"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."
"We would like to see this solution handle more multitasking."
"Fortinet FortiGate Cloud could improve security. Some of my customers do not trust on-cloud solutions."
"The solution should allow users to keep the data for longer than the current periods. I can't get any historic data after more than a month. I would like to be able to, after a year, look for trends from the past 12 months. It would make things much easier."
"FortiGate Cloud could be improved with increased granularity for our control."
"Fortinet could improve FortiGate Cloud by providing better integration with third-party applications and features."
"The solution’s pricing and stability could be improved."
"When we're upgrading, it's sometimes quite challenging, especially firmware. We usually don't upgrade unless we have a bug, and we still feel it's not safe to react instead of being proactive. We often have some delays when updating FortiGuard, too."
"Things are moving increasingly towards hardware agnostic appliances, an area in which I would like Fortinet to be more focused and fast moving with that product line."
"We do find we get a bit of a lag."
