Find out what your peers are saying about Red Hat, Microsoft, HCLTech and others in Configuration Management."The technical support of Microsoft Intune is good."
"This product works very well for companies already using the full Microsoft suite."
"One of the biggest advantages of Microsoft Intune is that it brings the management of Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and even Linux under a single pane of glass."
"Its direct integration with all the other products that we have from Microsoft is valuable. We're using the E5 license, and we have a whole wealth of different products available. It just makes it easier to have everything from one provider."
"The most valuable feature is probably mobile device management. Small businesses are coming under greater scrutiny and requirements for compliance as time goes on. We don't have to worry about a VPN because we can manage these devices, control company data, and lock users out. If needed, we can remotely wipe devices and deadman-switch them."
"The main advantage is that Intune performs its intended functions effectively."
"The central administration con dashboard is very easy to use and provides very good oversight on all that needs to be monitored."
"The most valuable includes managing everything from a single console."
"It allows for the abstraction of the work away from the developer into automated processes."
"The most valuable feature is the great community support."
"The most valuable features of Terraform are leveraging public modules for EKS, KMS, and ECR."
"The solution helps us save a lot of costs."
"Modules can be reused extremely easily."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of HashiCorp Terraform is the custom modules."
"It is easy to recreate an exact duplicate or output of an environment."
"The most valuable feature is the impact analysis."
"Helps me perform changes in connected infrastructure thanks to the discovery features."
"The main disadvantage seen today is regarding Linux clients. We have a lot of development resources that have Linux on their clients, and we can't manage them on the same platform, as we do with other clients such as macOS and Windows. So, it should have support for Linux clients. It should also have better support for macOS."
"China blocks Google and Google Play Store, which makes installation challenging. Microsoft Intune is a company software, which has to be installed to the app portal or Microsoft Software Center."
"Data leak prevention can be integrated into it. Currently, it does not have data leak prevention."
"It would be good if, in addition to the minimal patching and compliance, we could also use Intune for application deployment. For instance, if a device is not patched, Intune should have the ability to push not only a Microsoft patch but also other patches, such as a browser patch."
"The security features should be improved."
"I would like to see the ability to deploy custom packages as a Windows 64-bit package, as opposed to the Windows 32-bit, which is the only one available now."
"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."
"In an upcoming release, I would like to see some kind of analytics report."
"Automation is needed to import everything at once from a manual environment or by a specific resource group."
"Terraform should also support YAML language, which is more user-friendly than HCL. They should also add a GUI, so you don't need to memorize all the commands. A GUI would enable us to do everything with a click of a button."
"This solution could be improved by adding features such as CDM to accelerate the access of data by the users."
"The product must improve DevOps features."
"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 product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The state locking functionality can be improved. In certain situations, we have to force-unlock the state, which sometimes does not work. When that happens, we have to manually go to the state backend and remove that particular state, which is kind of a cumbersome process. It should also have more functions, more expressions, and support for more products."
"The native UI should be simplified because it is outdated and a little bit over-complicated."
