HCL BigFix Likes & Dislikes
What I like about patch management is its seamless capability to do patching services. Also, the wide range of OS that it can patch. Also, creating policies can be automated.
There are too many things to name but these are two of the most powerful aspects of the tool. These things play into many other aspects of the product to elevate your success. 1. Relevance Language - The client driven relevance language is extremely powerful and lets you have insight into the operating system without having to run separate tasks to gather information and then turn around and use that device specific information and populate it into dynamic script variables to dynamically build a purpose driven script on the fly. In addition, you can also create properties to collect data through relevance and use it in Webreports or other tasks to make more informed decisions about future actions in your environment. 2. Policy compliance. With other deployment tools, you set policies or configurations and really have no way to identify whether those configurations got put into place and you don't have to just hope that they are applied. 3. Integrations - The BigFix RestAPI is very useful and allows you to integrate your other tools or use the data that BigFix provides to make your other tools more effective.
Ease of use. Many many tasks, deployments, and patches available for endpoints. Support is always available.
UI might be overwhelming to new users. Integration with other ITSM solutions. Support community and manuals.
1. The MDM (Mobile Device Management) functionality is still improving but still lacks many critical features. 2. Relevance, although very powerful, does come with a bit of a learning curve, so training new BigFix admins takes longer to become proficient than with other tools. BigFix provides free training and webinars which does help with this. 3. BigFix Remote control still uses java based processes for accessing the target endpoint which feels clunky at times
Infrastructure can be complex. It is hard to set interconnectivity between endpoints and relays in big networks. Automatic relay selection may not always work as expected.
