We performed a comparison between HashiCorp Terraform and Microsoft Intune 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 most valuable feature of the solution stems from the modules it offers."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is the coding of our infrastructure. You can code it once and run it multiple times."
"One of the most valuable features is that it offers the ability to create a VPC, Virtual Private Cloud and VPN connectivity to the VPC can be automated without having to do it manually."
"The most valuable features of HashiCorp Terraform are automation and management capabilities."
"It is a stable solution."
"The feature "Terraform Plan" is the most valuable in HashiCorp Terraform as it allows us to see the differences between the current infrastructure and the one we are about to deploy, keeping things safe. Additionally, we appreciate the use of the modules as it helps in making the application scalable."
"It's very easy to automate functions on the cloud with HashiCorp Terraform. The commands are easy as well."
"The valuable features of HashiCorp Terraform are the infrastructure can be written, shared, and collaborated on using code, which speeds up deployment. Additionally, bugs and issues can be fixed in the code and redeployed, making it less risky. It is a more efficient method compared to the traditional approach of writing scripts to set up infrastructure."
"It is quite policy-enabled, so you can build pretty much any policy to manage remote endpoints."
"A great solution for anyone wanting a modern endpoint device management solution."
"Stable product that's easy to set up compared to other MDM products."
"The most valuable feature is the UEM capabilities."
"There are so many features, but Windows Autopilot is one of the features that are very valuable for most customers."
"The Autopilot feature is fantastic. It is a Microsoft product, so it deals best with Microsoft operating systems, but it can integrate with iOS, Mac OS, Linux, and Android."
"The feature I like the most is that we can perform remote tasks. If we want to retire or wipe out personal data or corporate data from a device, we can use Microsoft Intune remotely, and with the click of a button, data is removed automatically. Nothing needs to be done from the end-user side."
"It's really easy to access."
"They should include tutorials for understanding the use cases."
"The price of the solution could improve."
"This solution could be improved by adding features such as CDM to accelerate the access of data by the users."
"There is always room for improvement somewhere. I don't know everything about the product."
"I initially found the initial HashiCorp Terraform difficult to comprehend. It's complex and not straightforward, requiring proper training to grasp it. Even someone with a background in networking or cybersecurity would need guidance from someone knowledgeable."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The integration with this solution needs to be improved."
"The solution is complex when we use it for a loop. This is a problem, not because of the language itself, but because of how the infrastructure generally works. It's different from Python."
"There are a couple of issues with stability."
"Integrating certain group policies can be challenging and may necessitate using on-premises systems to integrate them with Microsoft Intune."
"Intune doesn't provide much control over Windows servers. It's something we struggle with."
"It should be simplified. I've worked with many different mobile device management solutions, and Intune is one of the more complex ones. It could be more simplified, and some of it is related to the wording that is being used, such as a configuration profile versus a policy. They really should have had different names to make it less confusing."
"Deploying an app can be a complex process due to dependencies."
"The reporting needs to be a bit more interactive."
"Enhancements for managing MacOS more comprehensively would be beneficial."
"The UI also needs improvements because it is complex for end-users. We have had feedback from a few users in our organization who found the UI is not feasible for tracking and analyzing all the processes and monitoring all the devices."
