We performed a comparison between Red Hat Satellite 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 solution is easy to use and it has good performance."
"We have a BYOD policy, and this solution helps us manage our devices."
"If the product works, remote access will be a benefit. To this point we have not had reason to have confidence in achieving that access."
"Intune provides full visibility into all active mobile device users. If their devices are noncompliant with our security policies, I have the flexibility to update them remotely."
"We are using the mobile feature, and we are also using MDM to lock the devices, to push restrictions, et cetera"
"It provides control over all mobile devices that are being connected to the corporate network."
"It's normally able to meet 100% expectations of our customers."
"I can reach devices or computers over the internet. I don't need to worry about the network connectivity between the offices. I can manage any device. That is the most important part."
"It has been a stable solution...It is a totally scalable solution."
"I like the integration with other tools."
"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."
"Patch management is, for sure, most valuable. For license management and patch management, I would rate it a 10 out of 10."
"The product allows us to handle patching for multiple servers at a time manually."
"The most valuable features of Red Hat Satellite are its support, simplicity, and patch management."
"Satellite gives administrators the ability to target deployments and only send out the updates or provision updates to certain groups."
"You don't need to depend on any third party. It's a complete solution for patch and configuration management when integrated with the existing system."
"The setup is straightforward."
"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."
"SUSE Manager is the best solution for maintaining the Linux environment"
"Regarding mobile devices, Intune is good, but there are other services that I would say are ahead of Intune from an administration and reporting point of view."
"Intune has some limitations when it comes to application updates for third-party applications. You can schedule an update, but when it's a package setup, you need to supercede and replace it each time."
"It would be beneficial to have a more straightforward understanding of Intune's capabilities, presented in a simplified manner."
"Its configuration is fairly complicated. You have to do quite a bit of discovery to be able to deploy it for a customer. You have to ask them a lot of questions. So, its initial deployment is the biggest challenge. They should make it easier to deploy with the use of Wizards or something else. During the deployment stage, there could be profiles for the customers who are particularly wanting to use certain feature sets of Intune."
"The configuration could be better by consolidating options and making it simpler."
"There are a lot of small use cases where we realized that some technical solution was missing in Microsoft in comparison to other products. For example, it lacks something similar to sensing or location-based rules and configurations."
"The reporting needs to be a bit more interactive."
"There should be more focus on mobile device security and integration."
"The dashboard of Satellite is not encouraging. It does not adequately showcase all the functionality it offers."
"I would like the direct integration with insights to be re-established."
"The documentation could be better."
"There could be a feature to simplify the process without the requirement of any patch manager subscription."
"They could make it more easy to use and improve the GUI so that it's more intuitive."
"Red Hat Satellite's pricing needs improvement."
"Improving integration could lead to a more unified management experience for multiple operating systems within our data center."
"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."
"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."
"It can be complex and difficult for users who are new to Linux and don't have any technical expertise."
"The initial stage is a bit complex, but after that, everything runs seamlessly."
