OluwashileAdeniyi

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.

Beneficial compliance management, easy backup configuration, and supports multiple devices

My advice to others is the user should be familiar with the network that the solution that is going to be used. This is a network management tool, and the network engineers or the users of the tool much know how to manage it. The right privilege management should be done because you have to be careful that there are not any accidental changes to the network. Depending upon the roles and responsibilities, the correct access should be given which is very important. I rate BMC TrueSight Network Automation a nine 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

"Overall, the user experience of Microsoft Intune is excellent, the software is installed in the background and the user will not feel any disruption, and it is a comprehensive solution because it is integrated with Microsoft's other products."

"I would rate the overall solution as a 10."

"Compliance and the policies that can be set are the most valuable features."

"Intune provides full endpoint visibility and IT control across device platforms. You can individualize it for your company with the Intune Company Portal app."

"The best thing about Intune for the customers is simply that it's included in the different plans of Microsoft 365."

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

"I would say that it is at the top of the list when it comes to the competition."

"We have definitely seen a good return on investment, as it has saved a good amount of time in device setup and support, reducing manual effort by around forty to fifty percent and also fewer on-site interventions since most issues are handled remotely."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"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."

"The network security of BMC TrueSight Network Automation has been the best feature."

"It has the best automation features."

"It is helpful if you schedule daily or weekly archiving for your config groups. Then, you can go by what are in those configuration groups, before and after, if you make changes. So, configuration management is really helpful in network management."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

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."

"Spring Cloud integrates well."

"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."

"It offers excellent scalability."

Cons

"The reporting could be improved, as it's pretty poor compared to other products of this type."

"Automation has room for improvement in Microsoft Intune for fixing some errors."

"In terms of the admin experience, it is straightforward, but the Windows enrollment experience could be improved. Sometimes, for enrollment, we have to reset devices and re-enroll them. Just configuring Windows, Azure, or Active Directory doesn't enroll the devices. We need easy enrollment for Windows."

"One area where Microsoft Intune could be improved is troubleshooting and reporting."

"There are items that require improvements. One is the controls from iOS."

"Intune has some limitations when it comes to application updates for third-party applications. You can schedule an update, but when it's a package setup, you need to supercede and replace it each time."

"If you could replace SCCM completely with Intune, that would be fantastic so that you don't have to run SCCM with Intune as an extension."

"The most significant challenge is reporting and monitoring. The reporting accuracy for deploying applications and all aspects of Intune needs to be improved."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"Regarding TrueSight, the setup has been a nightmare."

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

"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."

"It is tedious to scale the solution."

"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. The overall quality of the UI could be better."

"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."

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

More BMC TrueSight Automation for Networks cons

"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."

"Stability is one area in the solution that needs to improve."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I recently got to know that the AD P1 license is compulsory to use Intune Autopilot, which was surprising for me. Earlier, this was not the case. It is the wrong thing to do. We now need to purchase AD P1 licenses for us and for our customers. I would rate it a seven out of ten for pricing."

"The solution is cost-efficient."

"Its price is fair. It's a normal price. It isn't too expensive or too cheap."

"There is a license required to use this solution. However, it was part of a bundle package. Microsoft Intune is far less expensive than other solutions, such as Workspace ONE."

"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."

"There is a cost benefit of using Microsoft Intune because of the packaging with other Microsoft products."

"The product is offered as part of a Microsoft standard bundle. The pricing can be competitive to Airwatch, and Maas360."

"It's affordable. In comparison to the competitors, the price depends on what features you need from Intune, but it's affordable. There are no hidden costs, but there are some features that go for a premium price. Those are the add-ons for which you have to pay extra."

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."

"Currently, we are not required to pay for licenses."

"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."
