We performed a comparison between HashiCorp Terraform and Spring Cloud 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 technical support of Microsoft Intune is good."
"Technical support, in general, has been quite helpful."
"As the solution is a software as a service, the scalability is unlimited."
"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 detail 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."
"The initial setup is not complex."
"Being able to manage the devices remotely is most valuable. We can push security requirements through Microsoft Intune."
"Intune's unified endpoint management platform is invaluable."
"The most valuable includes managing everything from a single console."
"I like the function that shows me a preview of what is happening in the infrastructure."
"This solution makes it easier to manage a multi-cloud environment and have your entire infrastructure as code."
"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 most valuable feature is the support for different platforms like cloud, datacenters, VCS, databases, various storage types, and Kubernetes."
"The valuable features of HashiCorp Terraform are the infrastructure can be written, shared, and collaborated on using code, which speeds up deployment. Additionally, bugs and issues can be fixed in the code and redeployed, making it less risky. It is a more efficient method compared to the traditional approach of writing scripts to set up infrastructure."
"HashiCorp Terraform is highly stable."
"The first thing I like about the solution is that it keeps a version of your infrastructure."
"It is a stable solution."
"Spring Cloud integrates well."
"It offers excellent scalability."
"The solution's initial setup is straightforward. The deployment process took me around ten minutes to fifteen minutes."
"The UI is not user-friendly and has room for improvement."
"The current Intune reporting functionality could benefit from some improvements."
"We faced issues with macOS support. The product should have better inventory and asset management."
"It just doesn't handle software updates well at all by itself. You need to be a scripting wizard to make those happen properly, or you use third-party tools. The Windows feature updates are very difficult to implement. I would like to see a proprietary built-in remote control tool. I know that they have Team Viewer integrated, but it is not seamless. It would be nice if they had a seamless remote desktop capability directly from the Intune console."
"The scalability could be improved, and like most other MDM products, Intune is good but not 100% there yet."
"There should be more support for macOS. Even though macOS is supported by Intune and Microsoft is working very hard to get more features into Intune to manage macOS, that's one thing they can give a lot more attention to."
"Integration with Mac devices requires some improvement."
"The add-ons must be integrated into the solution."
"Some areas where Terraform could improve would be challenges in managing sensitive information, especially when dealing with secret files or credentials."
"I would want to see more programmatic capabilities implemented, such as if, else, and simple to manage things in terms of how I can use some programming functions to assist us to achieve more. I would like to have programming language-relevant features, to have programming language be the primary way."
"Terraform could create more examples in the documentation."
"The state locking functionality can be improved. In certain situations, we have to force-unlock the state, which sometimes does not work. When that happens, we have to manually go to the state backend and remove that particular state, which is kind of a cumbersome process. It should also have more functions, more expressions, and support for more products."
"They should include tutorials for understanding the use cases."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"From a user's perspective, it would be great if a UI tool is made available in the open source version as well, but I don't think it may be introduced because of the high costs for it announced by HashiCorp in its licensed version...HashiCorp Terraform can improve backward compatibility."
"The integration with this solution needs to be improved."
"It would be beneficial for the framework to become more lightweight and efficient when transitioning to the cloud."
"If there's a dashboard like the ones provided by Apigee or Kong, that will be useful."
"Stability is one area in the solution that needs to improve."
