Senior Infrastructure Security Engineer at a outsourcing company with 51-200 employees

Centralized endpoint security has improved and supports hybrid work and BYOD policies

Regarding what I dislike about Microsoft Intune and its downsides, I would say that more Mac controls are needed because we have limited Mac and Linux control. When comparing controls and policies between Windows, Mac, and Linux, Windows has almost everything you can think of, while Mac and Linux have limited types of control. You cannot implement certain things on Mac and Linux that you can on Windows. The limited controls are a major issue. Additionally, if Microsoft could find a way to embed servers into Microsoft Intune, that would be beneficial. Microsoft Intune is not really designed for servers or Windows servers. It is more tailored towards Windows 11 and Windows 10 operating systems. Windows servers are not fully supported. Enterprise organizations usually have both servers and endpoints, which are users' workstations. For servers, most people look for other solutions such as SCCM, which is Configuration Manager. However, SCCM is what Microsoft Intune is trying to replace. Both SCCM and Microsoft Intune belong to Microsoft. Microsoft is trying to transition organizations into Microsoft Intune, the native cloud solution. However, because this update is still in process, servers are not fully compatible with Microsoft Intune and cannot be managed by it. The current policy that has emerged from issues with clients is what they call co-management, which is relatively new, and I do not know if adoption is significant. Many legacy or older customers who have been using these products for decades still have SCCM. When it is time for them to manage their Windows devices, they use what is called cloud attach. Cloud attach is a term whereby your SCCM is connected to your Microsoft Intune. Most people do not know about it, but I have deployed it for several organizations. Cloud attach and co-management work together so that your device is in SCCM, but some policies are pushed from Microsoft Intune. It is like two different solutions working hand in hand. That is what they call co-management. Microsoft Intune does not bring all of your endpoint and security management tools into one place, which is the goal and how it should be. However, as I mentioned, servers are not included. If we talk about end users, Microsoft Intune does bring all your devices together. In a typical enterprise environment, you have end users with workstations, laptops, company-issued phones, and bring your own devices. You can create policies for all of these. However, for the backend, your servers do not have much coverage. Servers are not really covered by Microsoft Intune in that way.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Intune makes our organization more secure and flexible. We can onboard new employees faster and more securely. We are a governmental organization with strict regulations, and Intune helps us comply with those requirements."

"We handle the distribution software, collect metrics for app usage, and create policies to make the device compliant for Microsoft Intune."

"Microsoft Intune has positively impacted our organization by simplifying device onboarding, reducing IT support workload, strengthening security and compliance enforcement, and enabling remote wipe of all endpoints from a single cloud platform."

"Intune significantly simplifies application deployment, mobile application management, and policy enforcement, such as restricting user access to specific applications, thereby enhancing overall environment security."

"The solution is easy to use and it has good performance."

"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."

"Its protection policies are most valuable. It protects mobile devices as well as individual apps. It is pretty scalable, and its documentation is also pretty good. It is also pretty straightforward to deploy."

"Microsoft Intune brings all endpoint and security management tools into one place, and for app discovery, deployment, and automatic updating, it's reliable."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"Simplest application for network automation with all the automation features."

"It has absolutely helped our organization to use skilled personnel for more productive tasks because now we have the data that people need so that they can do their jobs better and more efficiently."

"It has the best 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."

"Reduced manual efforts in managing the devices, made changes on thousands of devices automatically, and automated repetitive processes using templates and policies."

"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."

"BMC is an excellent configuration manager. It allows you to configure your network easily and get the most out of it."

"In summary, this is a good tool that does what we want at the moment, and it has had a very positive impact on our business."

More BMC TrueSight Automation for Networks pros

"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, 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

"One area where Microsoft Intune could improve is policy troubleshooting and reporting. Identifying why a device is non-compliant or why a deployment failed can sometimes require longer than expected."

"I think that there is room for improvement with the reporting. If this is done, it will be a better product."

"It would be helpful if there was proactive remediation."

"Microsoft Intune could be improved in several areas."

"My assessment of the user experience of Microsoft Intune is that it is sometimes good and sometimes poor, depending on Microsoft's infrastructure."

"We faced issues with macOS support. The product should have better inventory and asset management."

"I find the price for Microsoft Intune too high, which represents an area for improvement in Microsoft's pricing model."

"There are challenges with Intune, specifically in reporting. Many third-party companies offer single-pane-of-glass reporting that shows you what your update environment looks like, how your patch is doing, application status, etc., but Intune's reporting is not intuitive. You can connect to Azure, monitoring, and the workbooks, but it's not streamlined."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"There could be automated processes to retrieve the CVS and create a compliance tool."

"I'd like to be able to get more devices into compliance with standards, but that means running additional rule sets and that takes time."

"I would like to see more device supported features, mostly on the new brands and models coming in. For any new version or model, it should be supported by the tool, especially the newest versions. For example, the newest devices, like Aruba Wireless, and routers need support from the tool."

"They should add more automation policies for different vendors devices like Ruckus Wireless."

"They need to have a single sign-on."

"I believe there could be new features in terms of the latest technology."

"For customized compliance, it takes some effort to implement things. If the device configuration is quite complex, then you have to do quite number of customizations in the DNA tool for out-of-the-box compliance. These regular expressions have to be modified based on the requirements of the compliance."

"It is tedious to scale the solution."

More BMC TrueSight Automation for Networks cons

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"With our standard E5 agreement with Microsoft, there have been no pricing concerns. Introductory professional services, like a fast-track service, were included with our E5 membership, and there have been no additional costs."

"It is average. Some of the costs are quite high depending on what the customer currently uses, but overall, it is not bad. I would not say that I would not recommend Intune based on the cost. I definitely would, but they can definitely improve on the cost. So overall, its cost is not bad."

"Licensing depends on how you are providing support to your enterprise, whether it's device-based or user-based."

"Intune is included with our F3 and E5 licenses."

"I have no comment on pricing of the solution."

"Even if they charge a premium, they aim to provide equal value."

"Intune is moderately expensive. You can get the license bundled with Office 365 E3 or E5 licenses. The E5s are a bit expensive, but you get some cheaper solutions with Intune."

"I rate Intune five out of 10 for pricing. It's expensive."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"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."
