Find out what your peers are saying about Red Hat, Microsoft, HCLTech and others in Configuration Management."It's normally able to meet 100% expectations of our customers."
"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."
"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."
"Conditional access helps me control uncontrolled access."
"One of the most valuable aspects of Microsoft Intune is its seamless integration with Azure Active Directory, offering capabilities akin to Group Policy Objects."
"We have a BYOD policy, and this solution helps us manage our devices."
"Compliance and the policies that can be set are the most valuable features."
"The solution is stable."
"The environment is very good. That's awesome."
"The most valuable feature is the great community support."
"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."
"It is one of the best things because now we have everything automated with Terraform. We didn't have an outage for the last three years because everything is written in a code, and every change we have made is recorded. If we didn't have a tool like Terraform, it would be extremely complex to achieve this level of maturity with infrastructure."
"Can be used across multiple cloud providers and multiple platforms."
"The state file is the most beneficial aspect of HashiCorp Terraform. It enables the retrieval and utilization of a previous state to build upon. This feature is particularly important since it allows for the identification of changes from the previous state, making the state file a critical component of the process."
"I like the function that shows me a preview of what is happening in the infrastructure."
"The most valuable features of HashiCorp Terraform are automation and management capabilities."
"Helps me perform changes in connected infrastructure thanks to the discovery features."
"The most valuable feature is the impact analysis."
"Integrating certain group policies can be challenging and may necessitate using on-premises systems to integrate them with Microsoft Intune."
"The solution could improve by having better integration with Apple."
"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 could be improved, as it's pretty poor compared to other products of this type."
"They need to add more group policies. Intune currently does not have many group policies that you can deploy. Its reporting, which is very limited at the moment, also needs improvement. It will be great if they can add report customization. Its stability needs to be improved. Sometimes, when you register a device in Intune, it doesn't show up instantly on the engine portal on the admin side. They need to provide better support for complicated issues. They also have a long turnaround time."
"Lacking in features such as Wi-Fi and network security."
"There is room for improvement in integrating additional features such as Purview and SharePoint activities into Intune."
"An issue we have run into with Microsoft Endpoint Manager is that we cannot patch third-party products like Adobe and Chrome with it."
"They have added a feature that helps us to import existing resources to our workspace, but if they can help us to create the code for the import, as well, then it would be a great addition."
"The solution is missing a lot of properties for specific resources."
"If you are copying something from a well running machine to a remote machine, there are some issues with the current version, but it is acceptable."
"I would like to see a short-term option for a short-term plan."
"Lacks flexibility in common programming languages."
"The price of the solution could improve."
"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 syntax is a bit difficult, and it would great if it could be easier."
"The native UI should be simplified because it is outdated and a little bit over-complicated."
