We performed a comparison between HashiCorp Terraform and Microsoft Intune 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."The most valuable feature is the support for different platforms like cloud, datacenters, VCS, databases, various storage types, and Kubernetes."
"It's very easy to automate functions on the cloud with HashiCorp Terraform. The commands are easy as well."
"The first thing I like about the solution is that it keeps a version of your infrastructure."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the modules it offers."
"This solution is a fast and secure way to provision infrastructure."
"The most valuable feature of Terraform is the ability to use it as a coding language because it works in a way that's similar to other coding languages."
"One of the most valuable features is that it offers the ability to create a VPC, Virtual Private Cloud and VPN connectivity to the VPC can be automated without having to do it manually."
"The feature "Terraform Plan" is the most valuable in HashiCorp Terraform as it allows us to see the differences between the current infrastructure and the one we are about to deploy, keeping things safe. Additionally, we appreciate the use of the modules as it helps in making the application scalable."
"Being able to manage the devices remotely is most valuable. We can push security requirements through Microsoft Intune."
"I like how Microsoft Intune lets me lock down the email profile and make it accessible only on certain devices."
"The mobile application management, MAM, is the most useful aspect of the solution."
"We use a local Active Directory, but we weren't able to manage all our on-site systems without a solution like Intune, and we needed to deploy software like VPNs and other things. It's seamless now to to this through Intune."
"Its protection policies are most valuable. It protects mobile devices as well as individual apps. It is pretty scalable, and its documentation is also pretty good. It is also pretty straightforward to deploy."
"The Microsoft Windows Autopilot and Defender policies are the most valuable features of this solution."
"The synchronization of Intune with other Microsoft solutions is a valuable feature."
"By using Microsoft Intune we can control which websites the users can go to and it provides a secure environment for our employees using their laptops that are having access from home. We have installed Intune to control the user's environment minimizing the chances of any hacking."
"If you are copying something from a well running machine to a remote machine, there are some issues with the current version, but it is acceptable."
"I still struggle a bit when configuring VPNs when we have multiple rules. If we have five or six virtual private clouds and we have to give rights between those multiple VPCs, we can have big problems. I think it was a learning curve and then we improved it."
"HashiCorp Terraform could improve the integration with the VCloud Director. When we manage the VCloud Director we end up wasting our time when creating virtual machines. HashiCorp Terraform knows about these issues and I think there might be a workaround but they should incorporate the fix in an upcoming release."
"The syntax is a bit difficult, and it would great if it could be easier."
"Terraform could create more examples in the documentation."
"On occasion, I have noticed a number of bugs in this solution that have needed to be fixed."
"I initially found the initial HashiCorp Terraform difficult to comprehend. It's complex and not straightforward, requiring proper training to grasp it. Even someone with a background in networking or cybersecurity would need guidance from someone knowledgeable."
"It should have a more object-oriented approach like different coding languages."
"Reporting needs improvement."
"There are a few security features that are not available in Microsoft Intune, when compared to other products."
"The reporting could be improved, as it's pretty poor compared to other products of this type."
"Data leak prevention can be integrated into it. Currently, it does not have data leak prevention."
"There could be more wizard-driven policy development or creation. Some of the policies can get quite complex. If they have a wizard that assists the administrators in creating the policy, that will be a great job."
"No option to do end-to-en macOS management. Slow implementation of policies."
"It would be great to see on-premises mailboxes and for the solution to have geofencing capabilities."
"The solution could improve by having better integration with Apple."
