"BigFix is Swiss Army Knife of Endpoint Management"
4/5
What do you like best about HCL BigFix?

HCL BigFix has managed to become my primary tool for operations because of the following reasons:

- I am able to identify vulnerabilities quickly and are able to take immediate action

- Since I deal with multiple cloud providers, BigFix comes in very handy for me to manage all of them from one single place

- The Work From Home solution guide came in very handy when it comes to deploying and managing endpoints from different locations

Personally, I am totally impressed by the flexible nature of this service allowing me to customize my infrastructure according to my changing needs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HCL BigFix?

There are a few things that I feel have the scope for improvement

- The initial learning curve is there as the initial setup is not intuitive as a result, it becomes a bit time consuming

- Coming to the pricing, it could be a bit more on the reasonable side

- I am still waiting to see the cost reduction and hopefully, will start experiencing it down the road Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"review on HCL BIG FIX"
4.5/5
What do you like best about HCL BigFix?

The best parts of BigFix are probably its catalogue and lifetime. A good number of scalable integration procedures contribute to a well-designed whole. Although this tool has great potential, much more development is needed before it can be used in compliance, risk, or security evaluations. You may get an instantaneous snapshot of your surroundings thanks to the real-time nature of the data. The tool is robust and adaptable, allowing us to think outside the box as we seek answers. BigFix has a dedicated user base that works together to find novel approaches to resolving issues as they emerge. A huge advantage is that they are willing to share both their expertise and their code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HCL BigFix?

The mobile device management tools aren't up to par, but the rest of the integration features are great.

It has the potential to help in this area by allowing for end-to-end connectivity, and I also note that the price for the corporate version is quite steep. This product is tough to modify. The price tag is a touch steep. Getting assistance and really putting it into action isn't that hard.

Learning the technology and creating bespoke material takes some time, but using the regular capabilities is simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"HCL BigFix Review"
4.5/5
What do you like best about HCL BigFix?

To make things a little more clearer, I'll give some first-hand accounts of my experiences using HCL BigFix. When it comes to the experts:

Most repetitive operations may be automated with the ability to use a variety of platforms, as well as the ability to distribute and deploy software in a timely manner with practically real-time reporting.

BigFix's inventory and lifespan seem to be the most useful features. The general design is solid, with a decent number of integration processes that can be scaled. However, a lot more work has to be done before this tool can be considered for use in compliance, risk, or security assessments. On-time payment of wages.

Lots of options for diversifying your career or honing your current set of abilities.

Learning is a breeze: a massive collection of software Simpleness of implementation Ease of use across a wide range of operating systems: AIX, LINUX, and Windows

These are a few suggestions that you could get from reading this review. A wide range of operating systems may be used with this software. There are a lot of options and adjustments to patch managements. Improvements have been made in both security enforcement and administration. Reporting in great detail. It lowers the time, effort, and inaccuracy of manual inventory and analysis. Our inventory may be managed in a variety of ways. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HCL BigFix?

things workers must deal with: as well as this Is an authentic evaluation of BigFix's employees, certain items are missing:

inability to set up and patch non-windows operating systems due to a lack of support (ubuntu, SuSe Linux, oracle, etc)

Patching and distributing software might cause management issues. Despite the fact that everything is running on time, we have received no response from the Bigix centre. A steep incline. This is not a solution that can be implemented at any moment; it requires a lot of time and effort to master.

After a lengthy wait, the BigFix management console finally appears....

HCL's complicated console training is difficult to secure.

Big Fix's lack of support for industry standards like CIS hardening annoys us.

we'd want BigFix to do something about these issues as soon as possible. I hope the HCL Team considers further features and upgrades, such as Secured Remote Access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"HCL BigFix is a great fix against digital security threats"
4.5/5
What do you like best about HCL BigFix?

The ability to determine the threat and prevent any security lapse at the machine level and data endpoint base is the best feature in HCL Bigfix. The ease of integrating endpoint security checkpoints with applications and devices is great and helps the user to monitor the happenings remotely. HCL Bigfix also efficiently isolates the machine from network databases in case of any malware or virus attack, which enables high security and avoids security risks for organizational data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HCL BigFix?

The integration of HCL Bigfix with on-premise applications is not straightforward and we need to separate checkpoints for each device and application instead of creating a one-go setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
