We performed a comparison between HashiCorp Terraform and SUSE Manager 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 initial setup is not complex."
"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."
"We have one MDM that works with Windows, iOS, and Android."
"If you need only to load a specific profile and you don't have deep security functionalities, et cetera, Intune is very nice and good."
"It allows our clients to have the confidence to centrally manage policies for security. It helps them in securing the organization from a technology aspect."
"The ability to switch between Affinity and non-Affinity enrollment is great."
"It works pretty well for us."
"There is a single pane of glass for user access and a single sign-on facility for the user. If you have already logged in to Microsoft Azure or on-premises, you can redirect directly to Microsoft Endpoint Manager, monitor all your security threats, and analyze the data associated with the application in a single, unified way."
"The solution allows us to work faster with ease and to set up new environments and workspaces."
"It is easy to recreate an exact duplicate or output of an environment."
"Can be used across multiple cloud providers and multiple platforms."
"The solution helps us save a lot of costs."
"The concept of infrastructure as code is quite intriguing. We have an infrastructure in our code and a state file where we can verify whether something is changed when it was changed, and who changed it. When we use Terraform, these kinds of things fascinate us."
"The most valuable feature of HashiCorp Terraform is the custom modules."
"With Terraform, you don't need to understand the console of your cloud providers. You only need to understand how Terraform works, and you manage your infrastructure tools in Terraform."
"The first thing I like about the solution is that it keeps a version of your infrastructure."
"SUSE Manager is the best solution for maintaining the Linux environment"
"When it comes to managing both Red Hat and SUSE environments, it provides the support for live patching, which is something I really, really appreciate."
"SUSE Manager helps to optimize operations at a reduced cost."
"The setup is straightforward."
"I know that their AI pieces are at the infancy stage, but allowing users to do more tagging for information would be an interesting thing because Intune also directly integrates with Azure. Because a lot of the devices are hosted with that, you also get a lot of tagging of user data and other things like that."
"Lacks the ability to deploy more ways of management, managing devices and processing the policies."
"It should be easier to define policies and comply with those policies."
"We faced issues with macOS support. The product should have better inventory and asset management."
"We need the capabilities of the Cloud Management Gateway (CMG) to be enhanced through Intune instead of Azure."
"In an upcoming release, I would like to see some kind of analytics report."
"Microsoft Intune is not user-friendly to manage and has room for improvement."
"There is improvement needed in integrating with the installed Office solutions versions, such as Office 2019. The Office 365 integrates without a problem."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"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."
"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."
"On occasion, I have noticed a number of bugs in this solution that have needed to be fixed."
"Terraform doesn't support Artifactory as a backend."
"HashiCorp Terraform state management could be improved to be used efficiently with multi-users."
"Terraform lacks in running script."
"The product must improve DevOps features."
"The initial stage is a bit complex, but after that, everything runs seamlessly."
"It can be complex and difficult for users who are new to Linux and don't have any technical expertise."
"I really would like to have a broader library of VCP's or playbooks that I can deploy."
"We sometimes have server issues and need to restart the service."
