We performed a comparison between BMC TrueSight Server Automation and vCenter Configuration Manager based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Configuration Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Intune device restriction policies enable me to enforce limitations on the device, like blocking the mobile camera or restricting the employees from using and inserting USB devices, including thumb drives and flash drives."
"The stability of Microsoft Intune is good."
"The technical support of Microsoft Intune is good."
"I haven't used other mobile device management solutions, but compared to SCCM, we eliminate a lot of on-premises infrastructure and maintenance by using Intune."
"It is helpful for managing devices anytime and any place without requiring dependency on the local networks."
"It's easy to manage."
"Great for software update needs, operating system version updates, and security policy enforcement."
"We have not experienced any bugs or glitches with this solution."
"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."
"The best feature of the solution is patch automation."
"Technical support is good."
"BladeLogic lets users view the filesystem with minimal authorization to the server."
"The ability to script and create BL packages to perform various functions. This makes automating our environment relatively easy to do."
"It gives us more speed to deliver services and applications, and we rely on security."
"The solution is stable."
"BMC Bladelogic Automation can be used across many OS platforms, providing us flexibility for deployments."
"vCenter Configuration Manager is a stable solution that is very easy to manage and deploy."
"Reliable, stable and scalable."
"I like vMotion because it manages fault tolerance."
"It's a very nice solution for our needs."
"It is a very stable solution."
"vCenter Configuration Manager is a very good product, it works well."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the ability to manage all of our environments allowing us to have better functionality and high availability."
"The product's deployment phase was easy."
"Intune's third-party patch management could be better. It should be easier for the average system admin to keep non-Microsoft applications updated."
"Microsoft Intune could enhance its patch management for various devices, ensuring regular updates and tracking of device privileges."
"The add-ons must be integrated into the solution."
"More integration with monitoring tools is needed."
"It needs incorporation of Knox, ZeroTouch, etc."
"It would be great to see on-premises mailboxes and for the solution to have geofencing capabilities."
"Technical support is not that great."
"Integration with Mac devices requires some improvement."
"We would like to see this solution handle more multitasking."
"BMC TrueSight Server Automation's scripting needs improvement."
"Scaling the environment during setup at larger organizations with 10,000 employees gets complicated."
"The setup of this suite is very complicated. It needs to be simplified."
"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."
"The architecture is big, so the initial setup is not a straightforward task."
"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."
"We've had to increase RAM and CPU processing in order to alleviate some of the sluggishness during patching."
"I would like there to be support for this solution in Iran."
"If the solution could manage on-premises and cloud resources with the help of one tool, it would be an extra agent."
"Some of the migrations are difficult to manage since the solution is not compatible with a few of the operating systems, which poses a challenge during the physical to virtual migration process."
"Acquiring certifications often require extensive training and successfully passing an exam, which can be costly and time-consuming, particularly if you already possess experience in the domain. As a result, this can increase the overall cost of obtaining certification and may present a challenge that requires addressing."
"It is not so user-friendly that you can just start the host and everything works."
"There are a lot of steps to do the configuration. We have to do it step by step and it is time-consuming. If it was easier it could be done quicker. There should be a preloaded configuration."
"Many major industry players like VMware, Microsoft, and Oracle often fall short in software coding and the smooth release of new versions."
"The dashboards in vCenter Configuration Manager are an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
