We performed a comparison between BMC TrueSight Server Automation and Spring 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."We are using the mobile feature, and we are also using MDM to lock the devices, to push restrictions, et cetera"
"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."
"Users can make screenshots, and devices only need the minimal version of iOS."
"I like that we can implement conditional access."
"We have a BYOD policy, and this solution helps us manage our devices."
"The most valuable features in Microsoft Intune for me are application deployment, Defender deployment, and asset management."
"It's very informative when there is an error. It allows us to backtrace where the error is and resolve that ourselves. It's a bit of a Swiss Army penknife. We find that it fixes most issues."
"It works well if you have a Microsoft environment."
"As this solution provides strong support and has multiple use cases, it is worth the cost."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to remediate quickly and efficiently across a number of IT assets at the same time. It takes away manual efforts from the team to go out and fix those vulnerabilities through patching, conflict updates, etc."
"BMC Bladelogic Automation can be used across many OS platforms, providing us flexibility for deployments."
"The most important feature is the schedulings."
"It gives us more speed to deliver services and applications, and we rely on security."
"Can standardize patching and deployments across affiliates."
"Among the most valuable features is its flexibility and ability to work across multiple operating systems. Being able to execute some form of data collection and not have to worry about whether I'm working on a Linux box, or a Windows box, or the underlying OS, I can do these collections, get these results, and put them together in a uniform format which makes it easier to present back to management."
"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."
"The solution's initial setup is straightforward. The deployment process took me around ten minutes to fifteen minutes."
"It offers excellent scalability."
"Spring Cloud integrates well."
"Sometimes, customers compare it with AirWatch, but the concept of Intune is different from other solutions. It's an application management app. It gets a bit difficult to explain it to customers, but it's not a product limitation. It takes a presale document or presentation to explain it to customers."
"Reporting and troubleshooting for the application deployment could be better. It's very difficult to understand."
"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."
"I'd suggest adding more features for macOS in Intune. There should be more functionality for managing macOS. There should be a better capability for pushing things down on macOS. Currently, Intune is not capable of managing macOS at the same level as Windows."
"Microsoft Intune is not user-friendly to manage and has room for improvement."
"The installation is very easy. However, to be able to configure it you will need special knowledge, such as training or self-studies to have a proper level of security. There are many settings one has to understand before being able to implement Microsoft Intune."
"We would like to see support for Chrome and/or devices for Chromebooks."
"It should be easier to define policies and comply with those policies."
"There is no option to see all the servers we patch and we cannot find what the server status is. Of course, we can what has been completed and what is pending and which servers have failed, but we cannot find server status from the BMC tool. For example, is the RDP up or not. We are using separate scripts for that."
"There is no other functionality available to patch the containers that we need to include."
"We would like to see this solution handle more multitasking."
"Needs more use cases into compliance management and the remediation process."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Stability is one area in the solution that needs to improve."
"It would be beneficial for the framework to become more lightweight and efficient when transitioning to the cloud."
"If there's a dashboard like the ones provided by Apigee or Kong, that will be useful."
