We performed a comparison between Red Hat Satellite and Spring Cloud 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."We are using the mobile feature, and we are also using MDM to lock the devices, to push restrictions, et cetera"
"There is a single pane of glass for user access and a single sign-on facility for the user. If you have already logged in to Microsoft Azure or on-premises, you can redirect directly to Microsoft Endpoint Manager, monitor all your security threats, and analyze the data associated with the application in a single, unified way."
"It is a helpful tool to manage BYOD policies."
"Intune provides full visibility into all active mobile device users. If their devices are noncompliant with our security policies, I have the flexibility to update them remotely."
"I can reach devices or computers over the internet. I don't need to worry about the network connectivity between the offices. I can manage any device. That is the most important part."
"Intune is effective because of the configuration management and endpoint security it provides. The graphical interface makes it easier to configure and deploy devices."
"Intune's unified endpoint management platform is invaluable."
"For Windows services, there are multiple options within Intune to modernize it to be more internet-facing and dynamic."
"The product allows us to handle patching for multiple servers at a time manually."
"The most valuable features of Red Hat Satellite are its support, simplicity, and patch management."
"Satellite gives administrators the ability to target deployments and only send out the updates or provision updates to certain groups."
"It plays a significant role in managing the lifecycle of our systems and ensures that we can effectively control and update the software versions to align with our organization's needs."
"The compliance auditing helped me a lot."
"Patch management is, for sure, most valuable. For license management and patch management, I would rate it a 10 out of 10."
"The product helps me to manage a large number of servers from one console."
"The 'remote execution' feature further helps manage systems on a consistent basis."
"Spring Cloud integrates well."
"It offers excellent scalability."
"The solution's initial setup is straightforward. The deployment process took me around ten minutes to fifteen minutes."
"There could be more wizard-driven policy development or creation. Some of the policies can get quite complex. If they have a wizard that assists the administrators in creating the policy, that will be a great job."
"The pricing can be expensive if you are not combining it with other products."
"The solution could improve by having better integration with Apple."
"There is no catalog for mobile access management (MAM) security."
"There is room for improvement in integrating additional features such as Purview and SharePoint activities into Intune."
"The reports aren't complete, and it's not easy to build custom reports. For example, Windows Autopilot isn't working well in cases where the computers don't have a good internet connection. Then the option is not good enough."
"It would be great to see on-premises mailboxes and for the solution to have geofencing capabilities."
"It doesn't economize when you scale up. We have over 14,000 employees, and we have between 7,500 and 8,000 city-owned or personal devices being used to conduct city business. Its price can be improved. It is not a cheap solution."
"It wasn't easy in the beginning, and some effort was required to work it out. I already had the product documentation, but it was not well organized. It wasn't easy to follow. There were a lot of documents here and there."
"Regarding the product's ability to support third-party tools, Red Hat doesn't support all the layers from the open-source version of Linux."
"I would like the direct integration with insights to be re-established."
"There needs to be some margin for improvement in terms of the way Satellite manages subscriptions. It is still very confusing when we have different contracts or different bundles of subscriptions, and we need to manage those within Satellite in a way that's very user-friendly."
"Satellite should be bundled with Ansible Tower and the Ansible Automation platform. We face challenges from a security perspective because we have micro-segmentation in our network. For each server we provision, we have to set permissions to different ports so that the servers can communicate with Satellite. If I have a single server with Satellite and the Ansible Automation Platform, it would be easier to manage security issues instead of having two or three products on various servers."
"Improving integration could lead to a more unified management experience for multiple operating systems within our data center."
"The dashboard of Satellite is not encouraging. It does not adequately showcase all the functionality it offers."
"Red Hat Satellite's pricing needs improvement."
"It would be beneficial for the framework to become more lightweight and efficient when transitioning to the cloud."
"If there's a dashboard like the ones provided by Apigee or Kong, that will be useful."
"Stability is one area in the solution that needs to improve."
