We performed a comparison between Microsoft Intune 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 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."
"Intune enables us to manage our devices from anywhere."
"The biggest benefits of Intune are the ability to push changes and the added security. When we moved forward with Defender, we onboarded all those machines automatically. That helps dramatically. For a while, we were left with machines that weren't protected. We could see where people had done things they shouldn't have done, and Defender saved our skins a few times. It didn't happen a lot, but it happened enough that it made us glad we made that decision."
"I like how Microsoft Intune lets me lock down the email profile and make it accessible only on certain devices."
"The dashboards, the security, and the customization capabilities work very well for us."
"It is user-friendly, and the performance is also good. It is a convenient product"
"The most valuable feature is the UEM capabilities."
"The conditional access policies that we set up are very useful."
"SUSE Manager is the best solution for maintaining the Linux environment"
"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."
"The solution could improve its flexibility."
"The biggest problem we ever have is when something goes out of date after 30 days when nobody has logged into it. We do have a problem trying to get those back online. We've been working with Microsoft to resolve that problem, but that's been the only issue that we've had in the last few years."
"The security features should be improved."
"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."
"While Intune works perfectly well, the only potential downside is that the deployment could be a bit complex for some users."
"The solution could be improved by the opportunity to connect third-party application databases, such as Chocolatey or another setup store, to Intune."
"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."
"The difficulty of the the roll out is surprisingly difficult considering this product is supposed to be an integrated part of the 365 suite."
"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."
