Enables management of multiple operating systems with a single license

The best feature is that it's a Microsoft product, so if anything goes wrong, we get quick support for anything required. Remote system functionality allows us to sit anywhere and take control of any device via remote management. We can enhance security for clients' laptops with built-in Microsoft Defender, which is available with the Microsoft Intune license. We use it for reporting purposes through endpoint analytics. When pushing scripting, there are two types available: remediation script and reservation script. Through endpoint analytics, you can push defender policies to clients. It helps with reporting, inventory updates, and monitoring tenant status health.

System Analyst II at a energy/utilities company with 1,001-5,000 employees

Able to access server info and file systems directly through TSSA but system can be sluggish

Resource management on the base servers could be improved. We're using a site that's supposed to cover all of our affiliates. I don't know what is causing the problem but we've had to increase RAM and CPU processing in order to alleviate some of the sluggishness during patching. I find the solution to be rather cumbersome. It's supposed to be able to support 50,000 or 100,000 servers. We only have 5,000 servers and during our patch processes, it gets very sluggish. We wanted to automate our patching, and not be stuck monitoring patches for three-quarters of every month. We have a main site and then multiple repeaters at each of the affiliate locations. Theoretically, patches are supposed to be delivered to the repeaters and your affiliates are supposed to pull the patches from those repeaters. We've noticed that doesn't always work and it pulls transfer patches from the main site rather than going to the repeater. TrueSight brought some standardization across the affiliates, however, it has also increased workloads and has made some things more complex. The requirement to have a local account with no password (password is random in TSSA, but not able to be changed through Windows) has caused some grief with our security team, and many complaints across affiliates. There are several features that appear to be very good but they don't always work as expected.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The user experience with Microsoft Intune is excellent because we can manage users and maintain security and policies anywhere they are."

"In terms of technical support, you will get an immediate response."

"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."

"Microsoft Intune is a cost-saving solution, reducing IT department workload and allowing for faster device provisioning compared to traditional methods."

"It is quite policy-enabled, so you can build pretty much any policy to manage remote endpoints."

"At the moment, Autopilot is the most valuable feature."

"I like that we can implement conditional access."

"The solution is easy to use."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"The product's valuable feature is its ability to conduct patching for multiple servers simultaneously."

"Among the most valuable features is its flexibility and ability to work across multiple operating systems. Being able to execute some form of data collection and not have to worry about whether I'm working on a Linux box, or a Windows box, or the underlying OS, I can do these collections, get these results, and put them together in a uniform format which makes it easier to present back to management."

"You can easily get the patching link. Patches can be deployed easily with a single click, making deployment straightforward. This eliminates the need for constant monitoring. You can deploy the necessary patches with one click, ensuring everything is signed correctly, and all issues are resolved."

"The most valuable feature is its ability to remediate quickly and efficiently across a number of IT assets at the same time. It takes away manual efforts from the team to go out and fix those vulnerabilities through patching, conflict updates, etc."

"The overall role of BMC TrueSight Server Automation in managing configuration drift brings return on investment through its automation, which helps save me the time and effort of my operations team."

"Compliance is also huge... By tying it to Atrium Orchestrator, our workflow tool, we'll be able to have a closed loop where we identify a compliance issue, cut CRs, get them approved, and then be able to execute these CRs and more seamlessly fix these issues on the fly."

"Server Automation's best feature is automated patching. It also helps us automate compliance and report generation. We can even integrate TrueSight Server Automation with a vulnerability management solution to remedy vulnerabilities by applying patches, deploying scripts, or changing registry entries."

"Scalability is good."

More BMC TrueSight Server Automation 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."

Cons

"Intune needs to incorporate more tools to reduce the number of third-party applications we rely on."

"Lacks the ability to deploy more ways of management, managing devices and processing the policies."

"Improvements are needed in Microsoft Intune's enterprise app management, including support for more applications in app patching, boot batching, and discovery. I also hope the cost of Remote Help will decrease because it's a much-needed Intune function. Our customers need that capability, or they will buy it from a third party at a premium."

"Could benefit from user having more control over devices."

"In Microsoft Intune, there is significant slowness, and there needs to be more logs when we deploy software, parameters, or scripts to troubleshoot problems and errors in the interface, workstations, and Android devices."

"It's only good for a Microsoft environment."

"Since GMS is unavailable in China, we currently rely on device administrator enrollment for managing Android devices there."

"The installation could be improved to be simplified."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"We would like to see this solution handle more multitasking."

"Scaling the environment during setup at larger organizations with 10,000 employees gets complicated."

"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."

"We encountered some reporting issues. Also, we needed to gather information from the backend before the product execution. The output's format is not good."

"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."

"The number of APIs available within the tool needs improvement. At the moment, we have a couple of different scanning tools used within the organization, but only one of those is integrated back into Server Automation. There is another tool that they use in another part of the business where it doesn't have an out-of-the-box adaptor for it. We would have to go and create or develop something bespoke to be able to integrate it with that scanning tool. Whereas, with the other scanning tool, there was an API available. To make it easier, I would like to have more APIs available for different scanning tools within that line of business."

"Resource management on the base servers is sluggish and could be improved."

"Without any knowledge of the product, we used the KB articles to start working. As a result, we definitely did not have full knowledge of BMC BladeLogic... They need to provide a minimum of knowledge with training on YouTube or somewhere else."

More BMC TrueSight Server Automation cons

"It would be beneficial for the framework to become more lightweight and efficient when transitioning to the cloud."

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

"If there's a dashboard like the ones provided by Apigee or Kong, that will be useful."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"All security solutions worldwide are expensive. Microsoft has allowed a small scale of features within Microsoft Intune for cost-efficient solutions. If you want the full suite, you need to invest more to gain better security features."

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

"The price for Intune is fair."

"It comes with the E5 plan. We bought the E5 plan from Microsoft."

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

"They have categorized the licenses according to the size of the business. So, if it's a smaller organization, we can choose the license accordingly. If it's a big organization, then we can choose accordingly. Everything is clearly mentioned, and we can decide. It's suitable for all kinds of infrastructure, and that's very goo"

"The pricing is inherently reasonable, as Microsoft leverages market insights to maintain the total cost of ownership at around ninety to ninety-five percent of what would be incurred in an on-premise scenario."

"Microsoft Intune is reasonably priced for large organizations that already have Microsoft Enterprise licenses, but it is less affordable for smaller businesses."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"We're looking at less than $100,000 USD for this solution."

"The product is expensive."

"The product's pricing depends on the number of servers."

"The solution is quite expensive compared to other vendors."

"Licensing is a bit pricey. Be mindful about the components that you need and buy as appropriate."

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

"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."
