We performed a comparison between Microsoft Intune and Red Hat Satellite 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."It is a very stable and scalable cloud-only solution."
"I like that we can implement conditional access."
"The ability to wipe data from and reset devices is one of the most important and valuable features. If a device is reported stolen, we can freeze it or wipe the data from it, preventing data leakage."
"The product has eased the deployment of Microsoft apps to the devices. We can manage it properly. We can control it and push the updates. Another company helped us with the deployment. However, we can do it internally."
"The tool's most valuable feature is Autopilot."
"One of the main features of the solution is it allows the management of many devices in different ways."
"It's very informative when there is an error. It allows us to backtrace where the error is and resolve that ourselves. It's a bit of a Swiss Army penknife. We find that it fixes most issues."
"It has improve our organization through the remote management of non-domain joined devices."
"Satellite gives administrators the ability to target deployments and only send out the updates or provision updates to certain groups."
"The product's most valuable feature is its ability to process patching and updates completely offline without an internet connection."
"The compliance auditing helped me a lot."
"The product helps me to manage a large number of servers from one console."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is vulnerability management."
"The 'remote execution' feature further helps manage systems on a consistent basis."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that you don't have to expose your mission-critical environment to the Internet. With the Satellite system in place, it acts as a barrier between your Red Hat infrastructure and the public Internet."
"The most valuable feature is the management of the distributed tool we use in the Red Hat Linux Servers."
"There are items that require improvements. One is the controls from iOS."
"They should improve its compatibility with other operating systems such as iOS and Linux. It supports Linux but they still need to work on the iOS part."
"The reporting needs to be a bit more interactive."
"The Mac integration has room for improvement."
"Due to the abundance of features, there's a lot to organize, which makes managing and setting up the solution challenging. The setup is immense, and it would be good to see improvement in this area."
"There is still a gap between SCCM and Intune, especially in the reporting, inventory, and software deployment areas."
"The reports that are generated aren't so great. They don't give a lot of meaning so far, but that could be down to user knowledge than the actual reporting side of things. I'm not a big user of it, but I was a bigger user of MaaS360, and we used to be able to run weekly and monthly reports. In the case of any deviations. we'd get a warning immediately. That's not so easy to do or to get in place for Intune. This could be just a user issue, but when I compare both, that's the only thing that's lacking for me."
"I would like to see micro VPN. I like the way that some of the other providers have done something similar where, as you open that app on an end-point device, it creates a micro VPN straight into your device, which is quite a nice little feature. Also, Microsoft Intune relies heavily on its fellow products in the suite. It would be nice if Microsoft Intune could stand on its own two feet."
"The solution's initial setup is a little bit tricky."
"There needs to be some margin for improvement in terms of the way Satellite manages subscriptions. It is still very confusing when we have different contracts or different bundles of subscriptions, and we need to manage those within Satellite in a way that's very user-friendly."
"Red Hat Satellite's pricing needs improvement."
"They could make it more easy to use and improve the GUI so that it's more intuitive."
"It has not been significantly updated in a while."
"It should basically include a complete slew of system management and monitoring tools such as Nagios. It should be a single pane of glass that gives us a complete solution. It is a good solution, but it is missing a few important things. We're using Capsule for DMVs on other secured zones. Capsule is a part of Satellite to be a proxy of sorts."
"The product could have more diversity in what it is able to deploy and might do better if it was not dedicated to Red Hat products only."
"There could be a feature to simplify the process without the requirement of any patch manager subscription."
