Modern endpoint management has transformed onboarding and strengthened remote security controls
The features of Microsoft Intune are straightforward, including Windows Autopilot, zero-touch deployment, centralized device management, and conditional access security controls. Using zero-touch deployment and Windows Autopilot in Microsoft Intune has significantly improved my workflow and organization. New laptops are shipped directly to users with no IT handling needed, and there is no manual imaging or configuration required. These features have a real impact. They save hours of manual setup per device, reduce dependency on the IT team for basic provisioning, and ensure every system is configured consistently and securely. Microsoft Intune has positively impacted my organization by improving device management. Devices are managed from a single cloud console. It has reduced manual work for provisioning and configuration. It has faster onboarding using Autopilot. It has enhanced security posture through enforced compliance policies, encryption, antivirus, and password rules. Conditional access ensures only trusted devices can access resources. I have better support for remote users, as devices can be managed from anywhere with no dependency on office network or VPN for basic management. It has easy troubleshooting and policy updates.

Enables us to configure our network easily and get the most out of it
BMC TrueSight Network Automation transforms manual configuration tasks for network devices, which are complex and vary among different OEMs. With this tool, you can manage and control all new and old devices, ensuring they meet configuration needs. It provides updates on Cisco devices, and if any data is missing, you can generate it using a formula. I recommend BMC TrueSight Network Automation from the network side, as it provides excellent visibility and configuration management for vulnerabilities. The implementation requirements are certainly at level two. Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

Though the initial setup phase is straightforward, its stability needs to improve
The solution's initial setup is straightforward. The deployment process took me around ten minutes to fifteen minutes. I can do the configuration. Setting up Eureka Servers and all those things, it will take three-four hours. For deployment, you need to add Spring Cloud plugin to a manual, and then you can start to build, and it will be built. It is not complex, so it is very straightforward since one just needs to add the plugin. Spring Cloud is a component. It is not a, like, tool or software since it is a free cloud, for which a Eureka Server is needed for configuration. So, it is a dependency you need to add to your Maven. Then, you can work on that. So, it will not take much time for engineers to do that.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I appreciate how easy it is to deploy certificates to end users to get control over their device with Microsoft Intune; that's what Microsoft Intune is known for, and that's what we use them for."
"It is a cloud-based service. It is easy to use and offers privacy."
"The reporting and analytics features in Microsoft Intune have been a lifesaver."
"It is very easy to use; it has a very easy interface."
"The solution’s most valuable feature is its ease of use."
"With these improvements, I estimate we've reduced our patching costs by over $100,000 a month, as the MSP previously had to troubleshoot various issues manually."
"I appreciate how clear Microsoft Intune is."
"Once it is well integrated with the rest of the environment, it makes everything easy."
"This product has helped us because we can now do many tasks at once. Rather than copy one file to one device, we can do an entire group at one time."
"It has the best automation features."
"Simplest application for network automation with all the automation features."
"There is definitely value for money based on the features and the value that the product provides, even if it is going to be a bit expensive."
"The backup and restore configurations are really helpful for a number of network devices, as you can automate them, then know what changes have been done, who made the changes, etc. So, it's quite helpful in the network management area."
"BMC TrueSight Network Automation is used for entire network management, automation, backups, pushing configurations for multiple devices, compliance, and secure access of the network devices."
"It allows us to make sure, for instance, that all of our telnet, FTP, and SSH are sourced from a certain IP address which is part of our standards and part of best practices."
"The backup and restore configurations are really helpful for a number of network devices, as you can automate them, then know what changes have been done, who made the changes, etc., so it's quite helpful in the network management area."
"It offers excellent scalability."
"The solution's initial setup is straightforward. The deployment process took me around ten minutes to fifteen minutes."
"Spring Cloud integrates well, and as it's code-based, you can do more customization, so with the way you configure or code, you can have your custom implementations, making it the best integration option if you have Java Spring Web Services."
"Spring Cloud integrates well."
 

Cons

"An issue we have run into with Microsoft Endpoint Manager is that we cannot patch third-party products like Adobe and Chrome with it."
"Since the devices are configured over the Internet, whatever policy we apply from the compliance portal does not reflect immediately on the endpoint."
"Intune has all the features enabled for Windows devices but needs to be improved on iOS and Apple devices."
"It would be great if Intune offered better data protection controls for BYOD Windows PCs."
"There are a few security features that are not available in Microsoft Intune, when compared to other products."
"The closest Microsoft Intune can be to GPOs, the better. There needs to be more granularity on application deployments. However, they have done better recently with the application deployments."
"It needs certificate provisioning for S/MIME purposes."
"There can be delays in the deployment of new policies."
"I would like to see more device supported features, mostly on the new brands and models coming in."
"They should add more automation policies for different vendors devices like Ruckus Wireless."
"I believe there could be new features in terms of the latest technology."
"They need to have a single sign-on."
"The product should be expanded to include more hardware, beyond Cisco and Juniper devices."
"We've been working with BMC support in various ways such as to allow for the high-availability components to the TSIMs to work together. There have been issues there. We've seen randomness in how other pieces of the software work. Integration with the Presentation Server and the TSIMs has been a challenge. The ports that are required for HA to be utilized were not clearly documented anywhere. In fact, they still aren't documented online anywhere, even though we managed to pull it out of some of their support people."
"The product should be expanded to include more hardware, beyond Cisco and Juniper devices."
"BMC TrueSight Network Automation can improve by having a better UI."
"If there's a dashboard like the ones provided by Apigee or Kong, that will be useful."
"If there's a dashboard like the ones provided by Apigee or Kong, that will be useful."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate Intune five out of 10 for pricing. It's expensive."
"The Intune license model is costly."
"For Microsoft 365 E5 clients, cost is not an issue as this product is one of the benefits."
"Based on the features that it gives, it is cost-efficient. It is not necessarily on the expensive side of the scale. It provides a hefty number of features that any organization would want. It is in a good price range."
"I am not that aware of the pricing, but as compared to other MDM solutions, Microsoft is providing a lot of things at the organizational level. So, it is quite reasonable as compared to other MDM solutions."
"There is a license needed to use the solution and we are on an annual license."
"If you're subscribing to Premium or E3, there are no additional costs for Intune, it's included."
"If you're ever going to buy an Office 365 environment, then pricing is reasonable given all that it does, but if you're not, then you might find the pricing expensive."
"There's a fee for the licenses themselves, per contract, and then we have a yearly licensing fee that's many thousands of dollars. But that's not just for TrueSight, that's also for support for ITSM, Atrium Orchestrator, BBNA, and other BMC tools in the environment."
"The solution is more costly than the other competitors."
"The solution is worth the price."
"Spring Cloud is an open-source solution."
"It is an open-source or free version solution. It also has a paid version, but we have used the open-source version for now."
"Currently, we are not required to pay for licenses."
