Find out what your peers are saying about Red Hat, Microsoft, HCLTech and others in Configuration Management."The ability to wipe data from and reset devices is one of the most important and valuable features. If a device is reported stolen, we can freeze it or wipe the data from it, preventing data leakage."
"I like that we can implement conditional access."
"I like the fact that it's integrated with the rest of the Microsoft products, so customers can manage it from their Office 365 portal or Azure portal."
"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."
"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."
"It is a comprehensive security solution that not only controls access to enterprise resources but also tracks and prevents unauthorized access, ensuring the protection of sensitive data and preventing potential data loss scenarios."
"The standout features of Intune are its excellent mobile device management and highly effective application management capabilities."
"The security-related tools are excellent; these features allow us to secure devices, lock them down, and ensure compliance."
"The ability to script and create BL packages to perform various functions. This makes automating our environment relatively easy to do."
"Scalability is good."
"It gives us more speed to deliver services and applications, and we rely on security."
"As this solution provides strong support and has multiple use cases, it is worth the cost."
"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."
"The most important feature is the schedulings."
"Helps me perform changes in connected infrastructure thanks to the discovery features."
"The most valuable feature is the impact analysis."
"I expect Microsoft Intune to have more features in the cloud because there are two major functionalities that we need to be added. This is software metering and license management. These functionalities, for now, must be on-premise. For this purpose, we have set up a SQL Server and I hope that in near future this option will be in the cloud in Microsoft Intune."
"The policies we had in SCCM and AD offered features that are missing from Microsoft Intune."
"There can be more logs. I do not have any other requirements."
"The reporting could be improved, as it's pretty poor compared to other products of this type."
"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."
"There can be delays in the deployment of new policies."
"Its configuration is fairly complicated. You have to do quite a bit of discovery to be able to deploy it for a customer. You have to ask them a lot of questions. So, its initial deployment is the biggest challenge. They should make it easier to deploy with the use of Wizards or something else. During the deployment stage, there could be profiles for the customers who are particularly wanting to use certain feature sets of Intune."
"Once it's configured it is unobtrusive, but it does take some hands-on to configure and deploy it properly."
"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."
"A better CLI Database cleanup tool would help us with our regular maintenance of BladeLogic Server Automation."
"We encountered some reporting issues. Also, we needed to gather information from the backend before the product execution. The output's format is not good."
"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."
"The setup of this suite is very complicated. It needs to be simplified."
"Needs more use cases into compliance management and the remediation process."
"Another area for improvement is group scheduling if I'm trying to do all the servers. For example, if I want to do all the 2012 Servers - since the patches are the same for all of them - I can't do so."
"The native UI should be simplified because it is outdated and a little bit over-complicated."
