Centralized device management has transformed security and streamlined remote provisioning
One area where Microsoft Intune can improve is the user interface. Sometimes the portal feels a bit complex and not very intuitive, especially for new users, and it can take time to find specific settings. Another point is troubleshooting. While logs are available, the diagnostic policies and sync issues can still be time-consuming and not very straightforward. I also feel that reporting could be more detailed and customizable. The built-in reports are helpful, but for deeper insights, I often need to rely on additional tools. Overall, it is a strong solution, but improving usability and troubleshooting experience would make it even better. While Microsoft Intune works very well within the Microsoft ecosystem, the integration of some third-party tools could be smoother and require less customization. Support is another area that could improve, as sometimes response times can be slow, and resolving complex issues may take longer than expected. In terms of features, I think more advanced automation and built-in remediation options would be helpful since common issues can be fixed automatically without manual intervention.

Achieve cost-effective and efficient operations with automated compliance and patch management
Regarding the patch management feature, I find it perfect in BMC TrueSight Server Automation; however, the only problem is with application software, as operating system patch management is perfect. What I am trying to have is application software running on the server segment. Sometimes they use browsers, PDF readers, and Java, so patching these application or utility software is a challenge due to the large number and the different versions. I have some concerns regarding BMC TrueSight Server Automation that could be improved, particularly in the reporting part. The pending patches report generated after the analysis only reflects the job executed, but in a distributed environment where multiple teams manage servers, central governance requires server status updates driven by servers rather than jobs.

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

"It is a stable solution."
"Being able to manage the devices remotely is most valuable. We can push security requirements through Microsoft Intune."
"Microsoft Intune has definitely reduced management burdens."
"If a client is using a lot of Microsoft, it's a great product to have."
"When comparing Microsoft Intune to Jamf, Microsoft Intune is superior."
"What I appreciate about Microsoft Intune is that it is easy for me to deploy software to an environment with 600 laptops."
"Its overall integration into Microsoft 365 is great."
"It is a cloud-based service. It is easy to use and offers privacy."
"With BMC, we even configured applications, like IE or things that were Java-related. When we scheduled the jobs, it worked fine. It saved us time and there was no need for resources to monitor them."
"As this solution provides strong support and has multiple use cases, it is worth the cost."
"BladeLogic lets users view the filesystem with minimal authorization to the server."
"The stability of this solution seems to be good; so far, the automation we do in the background has run on schedule, and the functionality is really good."
"The best feature of the solution is patch automation."
"The solution is stable."
"We have a fully automated patching process which has been absolutely phenomenal."
"The product's valuable feature is its ability to conduct patching for multiple servers simultaneously."
"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."
"The solution's initial setup is straightforward. The deployment process took me around ten minutes to fifteen minutes."
 

Cons

"I have one remark about the application management for the Android version. Often, the Play Store opens and leaves the possibility to download to the user, which is not good."
"I'm still playing around with it and haven't had any issues with the product yet, but support can definitely be improved."
"There is improvement needed in integrating with the installed Office solutions versions, such as Office 2019."
"When pushing anything from Microsoft Intune, the sync timing is 48 hours. While sometimes it takes 5 to 10 minutes, the official period given by Microsoft is within 48 hours, which can be time-consuming for policies, applications, or patches."
"The generic answer to what can be improved is that I hope that the reporting needs to be a bit more interactive."
"In an upcoming release, I would like to see some kind of analytics report."
"Microsoft Intune could enhance its patch management for various devices, ensuring regular updates and tracking of device privileges."
"It would be better if I could integrate it with my core group policy. I would like to have a group policy in my current environment, which has strict control, but those things are still missing. Although it has maximum compliance and security, it's not available on-premise."
"We've had to increase RAM and CPU processing in order to alleviate some of the sluggishness during patching."
"TrueSight falls short when we are trying to gather large amounts of data from multiple servers. We need to do these tasks manually because there is no option to populate the data and export it to Excel, which is required. For example, let's say I'm trying to find out how many patches are missing on the servers and which ones have been installed. It's hard to automatically pull each server's data in an Excel format."
"Provisioning needs to be more user-friendly. We were using BladeLogic for provisioning, but due to a lot of issues and complications, we had to stop using provisioning with this tool."
"I have some concerns regarding BMC TrueSight Server Automation that could be improved, particularly in the reporting part. The pending patches report generated after the analysis only reflects the job executed, but in a distributed environment where multiple teams manage servers, central governance requires server status updates driven by servers rather than jobs."
"Provisioning needs to be more user-friendly. We were using BladeLogic for provisioning, but due to a lot of issues and complications, we had to stop using provisioning with this tool."
"More use cases can be automated. The user interface of BMC TrueSight Server Automation could benefit from enhancements, as it currently lacks refinement."
"The initial setup was very complex; Not straightforward at all."
"We would like to see this solution handle more multitasking."
"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."
"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."
"Its price is in the medium range. It is acceptable because you're paying for the features. I am not aware of any additional costs."
"Consider the Microsoft Enterprise Mobility Suite rather than choosing specific sub-components, e.g. only Microsoft Intune."
"There is a license required to use the solution. If you're core users in Office 365, for example, you have Outlook email and E3 license, this is only email. You have to buy an EMS license to have Microsoft Intune. It is expensive."
"Generally, we get favorable discounts, so it's not too bad. Obviously, we're looking at decreasing those wherever we can to bring value back to the public purse because it's all charity based. It's all publicly funded."
"The pricing for Microsoft Intune is reasonable. Our clients are satisfied."
"There are licenses required for this solution. We enable licenses on the devices we need to manage."
"Its pricing seems reasonable."
"The product's pricing depends on the number of servers."
"Licensing is a bit pricey. Be mindful about the components that you need and buy as appropriate."
"The product is expensive."
"We're looking at less than $100,000 USD for this solution."
"The solution is quite expensive compared to other vendors."
"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."
