Tarcisio Rocha - PeerSpot reviewer

Centralized secrets have secured CI/CD pipelines and prevent password traces in terminals
Infisical's best features include the ease I have to store passwords and manage the users who will use those passwords. That helps a lot. User management through Infisical makes my work easier because I am able to manage the access levels to the types of passwords that I have stored in Infisical. This allows me to have higher access levels with higher-level passwords and deeper levels of access. Infisical is extremely simple to use, so it is important to emphasize how easy it is to handle the platform as a whole. It is very straightforward and very easy to deal with in terms of how it is laid out. Infisical has had a positive impact on my organization mainly in the level of security regarding the use of passwords that give direct access to the server. We stopped using passwords directly on personal computers. This ensures a very high level of security for both those in development and those in management. There are possibilities of computers breaking or losing saved passwords. If someone breaks into my personal computer, that person will not have access via prompt to my high-level passwords. This security segregation raises and gives much more credibility to the company as a whole. I have noticed time savings in access management after adopting Infisical as the main benefit. Regarding leaks, we have not had anything proven related to leaks yet.

Centralized endpoint security has improved and supports hybrid work and BYOD policies
Regarding what I dislike about Microsoft Intune and its downsides, I would say that more Mac controls are needed because we have limited Mac and Linux control. When comparing controls and policies between Windows, Mac, and Linux, Windows has almost everything you can think of, while Mac and Linux have limited types of control. You cannot implement certain things on Mac and Linux that you can on Windows. The limited controls are a major issue. Additionally, if Microsoft could find a way to embed servers into Microsoft Intune, that would be beneficial. Microsoft Intune is not really designed for servers or Windows servers. It is more tailored towards Windows 11 and Windows 10 operating systems. Windows servers are not fully supported. Enterprise organizations usually have both servers and endpoints, which are users' workstations. For servers, most people look for other solutions such as SCCM, which is Configuration Manager. However, SCCM is what Microsoft Intune is trying to replace. Both SCCM and Microsoft Intune belong to Microsoft. Microsoft is trying to transition organizations into Microsoft Intune, the native cloud solution. However, because this update is still in process, servers are not fully compatible with Microsoft Intune and cannot be managed by it. The current policy that has emerged from issues with clients is what they call co-management, which is relatively new, and I do not know if adoption is significant. Many legacy or older customers who have been using these products for decades still have SCCM. When it is time for them to manage their Windows devices, they use what is called cloud attach. Cloud attach is a term whereby your SCCM is connected to your Microsoft Intune. Most people do not know about it, but I have deployed it for several organizations. Cloud attach and co-management work together so that your device is in SCCM, but some policies are pushed from Microsoft Intune. It is like two different solutions working hand in hand. That is what they call co-management. Microsoft Intune does not bring all of your endpoint and security management tools into one place, which is the goal and how it should be. However, as I mentioned, servers are not included. If we talk about end users, Microsoft Intune does bring all your devices together. In a typical enterprise environment, you have end users with workstations, laptops, company-issued phones, and bring your own devices. You can create policies for all of these. However, for the backend, your servers do not have much coverage. Servers are not really covered by Microsoft Intune in that way.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Infisical had a positive impact on my organization, even in its proof-of-concept phase, because it integrated more seamlessly into the development environment."
"Infisical has positively impacted my organization, and even though I was an intern, I noticed improvements or benefits after using it as that was part of the assignment."
"Infisical has improved security significantly and makes it very easy for all developers to update, delete, and restore environment variables or secrets while keeping them in a very secure manner on our self-hosted infrastructure."
"Infisical has had a positive impact on my organization mainly in the level of security regarding the use of passwords that give direct access to the server."
"The main positive impact is that it saves a lot of time because there is no need to worry about security vulnerabilities that can occur."
"Infisical has positively impacted my organization by helping us transition from deploying everything manually, where we had to copy-paste all the environment variables into the environment files in the cloud, by dynamically injecting all the tokens and secrets into the workflow, which was very fast and saved a lot of time."
"Infisical has had a positive impact on my organization because it has helped me manage secrets in a much faster way, and all the people in the mobile or web development departments can integrate with the ecosystem quickly thanks to its SDK."
"The user experience with Microsoft Intune is excellent because we can manage users and maintain security and policies anywhere they are."
"Being able to manage the devices remotely is most valuable. We can push security requirements through Microsoft Intune."
"Since implementing this solution, our company has grown substantially, and our talent pool has significantly expanded."
"One of the biggest advantages of Microsoft Intune is not only the management itself, but also how well it integrates with other Microsoft technologies."
"Intune reduces the load on our on-prem Active Directory by having everything go to one Intune panel, so we can configure group policies, deploy applications, and manage devices, and it has really improved our operations."
"The core management feature in Intune is invaluable to us, especially considering the challenges we often face with System Center when pushing external updates."
"Microsoft Endpoint Manager's patch management has been the most helpful to us."
"We work completely in a Microsoft environment. Its interface is similar to other Microsoft solutions that we are using such as Microsoft Defender. So far, for our administrators, it is easy to use."
 

Cons

"Better documentation is needed."
"From a features perspective, there is a little lag when running projects and importing particular secret variables."
"One thing that kept frustrating me was that sometimes Infisical was not working from our cloud machine."
"When we scan Infisical using the Trivy vulnerability scanning tool, we found issues with Infisical CLI Go binaries that are not updated with the latest version."
"There are items that require improvements. One is the controls from iOS."
"I have one remark about the application management for the Android version. Often, the Play Store opens and leaves the possibility to download to the user, which is not good."
"Every time we call, we get bounced to a new team... there is no cohesive end-to-end support, which is very frustrating and time-consuming."
"The only issues I have had with Microsoft Intune were with applications where if they are not an MSI file, I cannot really upload it as an application."
"Manually syncing devices to enforce policies is cumbersome."
"Microsoft Intune can be improved by making it even more seamless for users to download their certificates."
"I find the price for Microsoft Intune too high, which represents an area for improvement in Microsoft's pricing model."
"I think that there is room for improvement with the reporting. If this is done, it will be a better product."
