Find out what your peers are saying about Red Hat, Microsoft, HCLTech and others in Configuration Management."Remote Wipe and Autopilot is one of the best features."
"Its direct integration with all the other products that we have from Microsoft is valuable. We're using the E5 license, and we have a whole wealth of different products available. It just makes it easier to have everything from one provider."
"Intune provides full visibility into all active mobile device users. If their devices are noncompliant with our security policies, I have the flexibility to update them remotely."
"The ability to manage devices with different sets of policies is most valuable."
"The stability of Microsoft Intune is good."
"The main advantage is that Intune performs its intended functions effectively."
"The most valuable feature is the UEM capabilities."
"The device profiling which uses the official Outlook email enabled us to control the screenshot feature and prevent copying outside of the organization's application."
"Technical support is good."
"The solution is stable."
"It gives us more speed to deliver services and applications, and we rely on security."
"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."
"The best feature of the solution is patch automation."
"BMC Bladelogic Automation can be used across many OS platforms, providing us flexibility for deployments."
"BladeLogic lets users view the filesystem with minimal authorization to the server."
"The ability to script and create BL packages to perform various functions. This makes automating our environment relatively easy to do."
"I like the functionality that's available with Orchestrator. The platform stability stuff that I would be involved in worries me from the automation side because you have a lot less hands-on control of things. Price point, it kind of puts us off."
"So far, we have had no problems at all, as it has been very stable. It is working well."
"The initial setup was complex. There's a lot of things you have to factor in, like security, backup, disaster recovery, monitoring, and how to maintain the platform. It's something we still struggle with, but it's getting better."
"vCloud Director has improved our organization in so far as it is an easy solution to sell. I believe this is the case due to the fact that it is an easy tool to manage and to configure."
"The stability of the product is better than just 'good.'"
"We use the solution to connect clouds to different clouds."
"We use the infrastructure as a service cloud, that is, we use the features as infrastructure for this. We are not using any platform services."
"The most valuable feature of vCloud Director is virtualization."
"The reports that are generated aren't so great. They don't give a lot of meaning so far, but that could be down to user knowledge than the actual reporting side of things. I'm not a big user of it, but I was a bigger user of MaaS360, and we used to be able to run weekly and monthly reports. In the case of any deviations. we'd get a warning immediately. That's not so easy to do or to get in place for Intune. This could be just a user issue, but when I compare both, that's the only thing that's lacking for me."
"Regarding mobile devices, Intune is good, but there are other services that I would say are ahead of Intune from an administration and reporting point of view."
"They could also make it easier to use because there are some other products that may be easier to use in terms of the look and feel of the dashboard."
"The installation could be improved to be simplified."
"There is room for improvement, particularly in terms of compatibility, extending beyond the well-known major brands."
"I think that there is room for improvement with the reporting. If this is done, it will be a better product."
"There should be more focus on mobile device security and integration."
"The synchronization could be improved."
"Needs more use cases into compliance management and the remediation process."
"A better CLI Database cleanup tool would help us with our regular maintenance of BladeLogic Server Automation."
"The setup of this suite is very complicated. It needs to be simplified."
"We would like to see this solution handle more multitasking."
"We've had to increase RAM and CPU processing in order to alleviate some of the sluggishness during patching."
"BMC TrueSight Server Automation's scripting needs improvement."
"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."
"If I just need to look for something quickly, it's quite difficult to find it with the way it's set up now. They should make the search button better."
"The solution should add other hypervisors so things like hover wizards can be automated."
"This solution could improve by adding root cause analysis."
"Technical support needs to improve its skills and respond to queries faster."
"In the next release, we would like to see improvements with the pricing. It could be reduced."
"The initial setup is not straightforward; it can be complicated. The deployment can take one to two weeks."
"It would be great if Microsoft and VMware come together and become a common tool."
"I would like to see mode accessory recovery and integration with SD-WAN."
