We performed a comparison between AWS Config 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 user-friendly, and the performance is also good. It is a convenient product"
"Among the most valuable features are the Company Portal that is built into Intune, and the update rings so that we can manage what types of future updates the devices get."
"Great for software update needs, operating system version updates, and security policy enforcement."
"Mobile device management is most valuable."
"One of the most valuable aspects of Microsoft Intune is its seamless integration with Azure Active Directory, offering capabilities akin to Group Policy Objects."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The biggest benefits of Intune are the ability to push changes and the added security. When we moved forward with Defender, we onboarded all those machines automatically. That helps dramatically. For a while, we were left with machines that weren't protected. We could see where people had done things they shouldn't have done, and Defender saved our skins a few times. It didn't happen a lot, but it happened enough that it made us glad we made that decision."
"It has a useful device management feature."
"The initial setup is super easy, it takes like two minutes. Literally a one-click deployment."
"The solution is scalable and provides over 100 rules."
"Installing the instances and performing upgrades is smooth and clean."
"I like the integration with other tools."
"The compliance auditing helped me a lot."
"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 most valuable feature is the management of the distributed tool we use in the Red Hat Linux Servers."
"Technical support has been good."
"The product's most valuable feature is its ability to process patching and updates completely offline without an internet connection."
"The product allows us to handle patching for multiple servers at a time manually."
"It cuts down significantly on the administrative time it takes to patch systems in a large environment."
"I think there should be a better tracking of the cell phones used on the Intune."
"What would make this product better is adding more security policies and features in the next upgrade."
"Sometimes, customers compare it with AirWatch, but the concept of Intune is different from other solutions. It's an application management app. It gets a bit difficult to explain it to customers, but it's not a product limitation. It takes a presale document or presentation to explain it to customers."
"An area for improvement is the absence of seamless integration, particularly with external dashboards."
"The documentation about the custom image setup could be better. Although Microsoft provides the steps to configure Intune or set up or deploy Intune, it doesn't have much information related to custom images. If you ask, "how can we deploy the custom image?" There is no information. The steps they mention ask you to connect to your on-premises environment or create your own image on the cloud itself once there is connectivity. But I needed to go to multiple websites to get all this information. I had to figure out how to upload the custom image if you want to use the on-premise custom image for Cloud PC. If you have the proper subscription, you must have the right access, like global admin or owner. Then you can add your custom image to that. There are no steps mentioned over there. Microsoft Intune doesn't have Chrome browser support. I would like to have that support because they will want it if we pitch the product to clients."
"Microsoft Intune needs to improve the initial login process."
"For an existing customer who has an SCCM, it would need to be upgraded to an MECM first before I can introduce Microsoft Intune."
"It would be great if Intune offered better data protection controls for BYOD Windows PCs."
"The reboot process for AWS instances could be improved. Microsoft Azure does not have this problem, so AWS could consider making their instances more robust. You would not need to reboot your instances frequently to replace the hardware and stuff. They can look for a better approach or mechanism to improve in the future. The concern is that you need to plan for the outage when you reboot an instance. You need to have a maintenance window where you can properly reboot the instance without affecting your application. When Amazon announces that you need to reboot an instance and are not ready, this becomes a problem."
"There is room for improvement in built-in tools, they are not up to the mark."
"The solution is missing a configuration that can assist us when writing our programming languages."
"There could be a feature to simplify the process without the requirement of any patch manager subscription."
"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."
"Satellite should be bundled with Ansible Tower and the Ansible Automation platform. We face challenges from a security perspective because we have micro-segmentation in our network. For each server we provision, we have to set permissions to different ports so that the servers can communicate with Satellite. If I have a single server with Satellite and the Ansible Automation Platform, it would be easier to manage security issues instead of having two or three products on various servers."
"I would like the direct integration with insights to be re-established."
"They could make it more easy to use and improve the GUI so that it's more intuitive."
"Red Hat Satellite has a short life cycle and we constantly need to update."
"It is difficult to update and maintain."
