Centralized device management has automated onboarding and improves remote security compliance
One thing I feel Microsoft Intune could improve is troubleshooting visibility. In many cases, when a policy or application deployment fails, the error messages are a bit generic. So, admins still spend time checking logs manually or testing on devices one by one. Compared to the simplicity of deployment, troubleshooting sometimes feels less mature. I also think reporting and real-time monitoring could be stronger. The dashboard gives useful information, but in large environments, many teams still depend on additional tools or scripts for deeper reporting and analytics. If I had to focus on one area first, I would probably choose troubleshooting and reporting. Deployment through Microsoft Intune is generally straightforward, but when something fails, identifying the exact root cause can still take more time than expected. Error messages are sometimes too generic, and admins often have to dig through logs, sync status, or multiple portals to understand what actually happened. I think user experience and policy management could also improve further. Microsoft Intune has become much better over the years, but sometimes the admin portal still feels fragmented because certain configurations open in different sections or redirect to older interfaces. For new admins, especially, it can take time to understand where everything is located. Another thing is policy conflict handling. In larger organizations, multiple device policies, compliance rules, and configuration profiles can overlap. When conflicts happen, the visibility is not always very clear, so admins spend time figuring out which policy actually won or caused the issue.

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.

Highly scalable development of cloud-native applications that offers an extensive range of tools and features, with significant learning curve and complex configurations
We use it for building cloud-native applications and APIs and it helps us effectively manage various aspects of our application It enables you to create applications that can start up more quickly than a standard Spring Boot application. It would be beneficial for the framework to become more…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"What I like most about Intune is its seamless enrollment process, particularly the Autopilot method."
"I like how Microsoft Intune lets me lock down the email profile and make it accessible only on certain devices."
"It works well if you have a Microsoft environment."
"The feature that we can deploy policies and configuration settings and it will be applied to every user who is connected to it around the world just with an internet connection is very good."
"The cloud base is perfect for me."
"Intune makes our organization more secure and flexible."
"It supports end-users who tend to lock their devices quite frequently. Its conditional access policy helps us keep the users logged into their devices."
"Microsoft Intune is a great product, and you should use it."
"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."
"Reduced manual efforts in managing the devices, made changes on thousands of devices automatically, and automated repetitive processes using templates and policies."
"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."
"BMC is an excellent configuration manager. It allows you to configure your network easily and get the most out of it."
"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."
"The compliance management, patching, and OS upgrades are useful features."
"Simplest application for network automation with all the automation features."
"We use it to back up configurations so the configuration management is valuable for us."
"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."
"The solution's initial setup is straightforward. The deployment process took me around ten minutes to fifteen minutes."
"It offers excellent scalability."
 

Cons

"Customer service is not really good. I would give it a six out of ten. The main issue is the time it takes to get someone involved who truly understands what the product does."
"Microsoft Intune can be improved with a more intuitive admin interface, faster policy synchronization, better troubleshooting and reporting capabilities, especially for complex and hybrid environments, along with more granular control and simplified management for advanced configurations."
"The tool's tunnel gateway is not very good, making it an area where improvements are required."
"There are a lot of small use cases where we realized that some technical solution was missing in Microsoft in comparison to other products. For example, it lacks something similar to sensing or location-based rules and configurations."
"The MacBook management could be better."
"The synchronization could be improved."
"Intune's server management could be better. If it could incorporate more features from System Center into Intune's Configuration Manager, it would be beneficial."
"Reporting needs to be better. Sometimes, it is way too slow, and it is not even accurate."
"There could be automated processes to retrieve the CVS and create a compliance tool."
"They need to have a single sign-on."
"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."
"The product should be expanded to include more hardware, beyond Cisco and Juniper devices."
"I believe there could be new features in terms of the latest technology."
"Regarding TrueSight, the setup has been a nightmare."
"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."
"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

"While Microsoft Intune boasts a wide range of features, its user-friendliness and bundled licensing cost are key considerations for me."
"The pricing is competitive, but it is not cheap."
"Intune is included in the Microsoft 365 licensing package that we have."
"Intune is inexpensive. It also comes bundled in some Office 365 licenses, so you can choose to purchase it separately or as a package."
"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."
"The cost is handled through our Office 365 license, so I have yet to be able to compare it directly with other tools in its class."
"The clients pay for a license and each can have a different type of license, such as an E3 or E5."
"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."
"The solution is worth the price."
"The solution is more costly than the other competitors."
"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."
"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."
