Microsoft Configuration Manager and BMC TrueSight Server Automation are both powerful tools in enterprise management. While Microsoft Configuration Manager is praised for its comprehensive feature set, BMC TrueSight Server Automation holds the upper hand in advanced automation capabilities.
Features: Microsoft Configuration Manager is known for its robust software deployment, inventory management capabilities, and extensive support resources. BMC TrueSight Server Automation is noted for its detailed auditing, compliance features, and advanced automation for complex environments.
Room for Improvement: Microsoft Configuration Manager needs enhanced automation and better integration options. BMC TrueSight Server Automation requires more streamlined update processes and a more intuitive operational workflow to improve operational efficiency.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Microsoft Configuration Manager offers straightforward deployment and extensive support, whereas BMC TrueSight Server Automation has a more complex setup process. BMC's customer service is responsive but could be more proactive.
Pricing and ROI: Microsoft Configuration Manager is cost-effective with a balanced feature set for the price. BMC TrueSight Server Automation, though pricier, provides substantial ROI through its extensive automation and compliance capabilities, justifying the higher setup cost with efficiency gains and reduced manual overhead.

Reviews from Real Users
Microsoft Intune stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Two major ones are its ability to secure all devices under its management and the flexibility that the solution offers its users.
A computing services manager notes, "Its security is most valuable. It gives us a way to secure devices, not only those that are steady. We do have a few tablets and other devices, and it is a way for us to secure these devices and manage them. We know they're out there and what's their status. We can manage their life cycle and verify that they're updated properly."
The head of IT engineering at a financial services company writes, "The one feature we find most useful is the Mobile Application Manager. There are two types: we have the complete MDM and the Mobile Application Manager (MAM). We don't give our users phones, it is their own personal phone, and we need to allow them to have access to the company details on their phone. We need to create a balance between their own personal data and the company data. We deploy the Mobile Application Manager for them so that we won't be able to interfere with their own personal data."
