We performed a comparison between Microsoft Configuration Manager and SUSE Manager 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 initial setup is not complex."
"I like the group policy management feature, which performs application monitoring and device enrollment."
"The initial setup is not overly complex or difficult."
"It's very informative when there is an error. It allows us to backtrace where the error is and resolve that ourselves. It's a bit of a Swiss Army penknife. We find that it fixes most issues."
"It's really easy to access."
"The key benefit of Intune is its integration with the Microsoft ecosystem."
"The solution has reduced the risk of security breaches by 30%."
"It works pretty well for us."
"We have found the scalability to be quite good."
"The solution is stable."
"The initial setup is straightforward and not too complicated."
"The most valuable features are application deployment and task-sequenced imaging."
"The cloud account management is a valuable feature."
"Patching is very effective and reporting is very good."
"I have found the solution to be scalable. We have around 50,000 users using the solution."
"The tool's most valuable features are easy patch management and software deployment."
"When it comes to managing both Red Hat and SUSE environments, it provides the support for live patching, which is something I really, really appreciate."
"SUSE Manager helps to optimize operations at a reduced cost."
"The setup is straightforward."
"SUSE Manager is the best solution for maintaining the Linux environment"
"There is room for improvement in integration and security as well."
"The pricing could be improved."
"Onboarding of endpoint devices is not straightforward. The onboarding process was a little heavier than I thought it would be. That's the key improvement area. Obviously, the more control you have over the devices, the better it is."
"Due to the abundance of features, there's a lot to organize, which makes managing and setting up the solution challenging. The setup is immense, and it would be good to see improvement in this area."
"Regarding mobile devices, Intune is good, but there are other services that I would say are ahead of Intune from an administration and reporting point of view."
"The UI is not user-friendly and has room for improvement."
"There is still a gap between SCCM and Intune, especially in the reporting, inventory, and software deployment areas."
"Intune does not provide real-time visibility."
"The analysis is something that can be integrated. Their report analysis can be improved a little bit due to the fact that most of the time complaints policies are saved by the admins. It's something that we need to look into and search for."
"Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager can improve by allowing us to schedule the scripts, we don't have a script scheduling option and have to do it manually."
"The tool's deployment is difficult. Microsoft needs to improve documentation with videos."
"Could do with some cosmetic improvements on the user interface."
"It is a bit of an old and outdated product."
"In terms of scalability, I believe there's room for improvement. While SCCM is capable of handling our current needs effectively, scalability could be enhanced to accommodate future growth and larger deployments."
"There should probably be better remote support. They should also continue to improve on patch management, patching, and creating or turning products in software into deployable apps."
"The main thing is that SCCM has to become an appliance instead of a server. When I say appliance, it has to come preconfigured so that it is drop-shipped into the enterprise and then you activate the feature sets that you want. It should pull down all the latest binaries. Once that is all there, it should have a discovery tool which goes out and discovers the assets within an enterprise. If the server, workstation, and applications are all coming from the same vendor, why not have the vendor do this work for us and automate it as much as it possibly can?"
"The initial stage is a bit complex, but after that, everything runs seamlessly."
"It can be complex and difficult for users who are new to Linux and don't have any technical expertise."
"We sometimes have server issues and need to restart the service."
"I really would like to have a broader library of VCP's or playbooks that I can deploy."
