"The inventory and patch management tools are very valuable."
"The support from BMC Client Management is very good."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its patching capabilities and the help it offers when it comes to use cases, like prompting for the reboot after a certain period of time."
"It's a scalable solution. We have deployed it for customers using 3000 nodes to those using 300,000 nodes."
"One feature I like, that was especially valuable during the pandemic, is remote control. Remote control grants administrators and support personnel access to the laptops and PCs of employees (who might be working from home) in order to fix any issues that come up as and when they come up, even without having to wait for a support request."
"I like the fact that everything is online. It makes the solution very accessible."
"The feature I find most valuable is Business 365's real-time edit and updates. You can share files, and it will automatically create the link for you."
"Microsoft 365 Business includes SharePoint which is a really good tool. Plus, there are so many apps that you can integrate with this solution."
"You can access Microsoft 365 Business from anywhere. You have full access to Office 365 or Outlook 365, and the support is there."
"Some of the functionality is very easy to use."
"The solution is easy to use."
"Microsoft 365 Business is available as a SaaS product."
"Ease of collaboration and sharing documents."
"BMC Client Management could improve in the area of integration."
"BMC Client Management supports only iOS devices. It would be good if they would support Android as well."
"The solution does not offer the functionality of remote access to users."
"The solution needs to add whitelisting because many customers request it."
"It would be good if BMC Client Management can perform vulnerability assessment scanning at the endpoint on its own and mitigate that. Then, we wouldn't have to rely on a third party VA tool. I would like to see this application move to being a web-based one."
"The on-premises version of BMC Client Management has powerful remote control functionality and decent compliance features, but these features both rely on the discovery tool in order to gain a complete set of insights about the endpoint's environment. Now, BMC's discovery solution depends on having an agent installed in each endpoint and sometimes the agent doesn't work properly, making it difficult to get an accurate understanding of the environment (including special topologies) even with BMC's discovery tool."
"Some menu options are not as logical as you would think, and it can take time to figure out how to go about it."
"The initial setup is slightly complex."
"The solution isn't stable."
"At least a basic collaboration tool or project management tool should be included in the solution for the price we pay."
"The downside of Microsoft 365 Business stems from the fact that it is a bit of a pricey product."
"It would be ideal if the licenses covered more devices. It would be nice if one license, for example, allowed a user to have it on at least five devices."
"The stability needs to be improved."
"Pricing could always be cheaper."
