Centralized device management has transformed security and streamlined remote provisioning

One area where Microsoft Intune can improve is the user interface. Sometimes the portal feels a bit complex and not very intuitive, especially for new users, and it can take time to find specific settings. Another point is troubleshooting. While logs are available, the diagnostic policies and sync issues can still be time-consuming and not very straightforward. I also feel that reporting could be more detailed and customizable. The built-in reports are helpful, but for deeper insights, I often need to rely on additional tools. Overall, it is a strong solution, but improving usability and troubleshooting experience would make it even better. While Microsoft Intune works very well within the Microsoft ecosystem, the integration of some third-party tools could be smoother and require less customization. Support is another area that could improve, as sometimes response times can be slow, and resolving complex issues may take longer than expected. In terms of features, I think more advanced automation and built-in remediation options would be helpful since common issues can be fixed automatically without manual intervention.

Senior Devops Engineer at a consultancy with 11-50 employees

Hybrid platform has strengthened patching and vulnerability management and provides reliable HA

Red Hat Satellite has an HA setup that we use in regular VMs. We can enable Pacemaker, resource agent, and syncing all Red Hat own VMs together by node by node, with replicated three nodes at one time. This is the best feature I have ever used in Red Hat. Red Hat Satellite definitely removes vulnerabilities. It gives us errata so we can fix our bug fixes, and it is very convenient to us. It helps a lot because in a normal ISO, we do not have bug fixes. On Red Hat portal, Red Hat Satellite gave us the vulnerability before it came to become a vulnerability. That is why it is a very practical thing.

Though the initial setup phase is straightforward, its stability needs to improve

The solution's initial setup is straightforward. The deployment process took me around ten minutes to fifteen minutes. I can do the configuration. Setting up Eureka Servers and all those things, it will take three-four hours. For deployment, you need to add Spring Cloud plugin to a manual, and then you can start to build, and it will be built. It is not complex, so it is very straightforward since one just needs to add the plugin. Spring Cloud is a component. It is not a, like, tool or software since it is a free cloud, for which a Eureka Server is needed for configuration. So, it is a dependency you need to add to your Maven. Then, you can work on that. So, it will not take much time for engineers to do that.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"When a user receives the machine, sets it up, and turns it on, it connects to the domain and begins installing software, becoming ready within approximately half an hour, which represents a significant time savings for IT departments."

"I would recommend Microsoft Intune to others; it is a very good and scalable solution."

"This product works very well for companies already using the full Microsoft suite."

"Microsoft Intune has broad capabilities, particularly with mobile device management, with excellent management features like the ability to push configuration policies to all devices across the company and manage them effectively, strong configuration and compliance capabilities, and valuable application management that centralizes applications in one place and makes configuring or deploying them much easier."

"By using Microsoft Intune we can control which websites the users can go to and it provides a secure environment for our employees using their laptops that are having access from home. We have installed Intune to control the user's environment minimizing the chances of any hacking."

"The ability to push applications on devices is valuable. You do not have to manually install applications one by one. If you like to use ten different applications, you do not have to manually go and download them one by one. Intune can compile a package for you, and then you can just push them from the admin center."

"The feature that we need occasionally but is really important is the ability to remotely wipe a device, control it, and perform similar functions."

"The performance of Microsoft Intune is good."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"Technical support has been good."

"Red Hat Satellite's most valuable features include subscription management for various servers and environments. It allows organizations to group servers according to their patch levels, enabling administrators to manage and patch servers based on their specific environments."

"The 'remote execution' feature further helps manage systems on a consistent basis."

"The product is convenient to use."

"The product's most valuable feature is its ability to process patching and updates completely offline without an internet connection."

"The most valuable feature is the management of the distributed tool we use in the Red Hat Linux Servers."

"The most valuable feature is the fact that you don't have to expose your mission-critical environment to the Internet. With the Satellite system in place, it acts as a barrier between your Red Hat infrastructure and the public Internet."

"The integration with Ansible and the orchestration itself is a highly valuable aspect of the solution, as the way to handle orchestration and management patching in our Linux environment is great."

More Red Hat Satellite pros

"Spring Cloud integrates well, and as it's code-based, you can do more customization, so with the way you configure or code, you can have your custom implementations, making it the best integration option if you have Java Spring Web Services."

"Spring Cloud integrates well."

"The solution's initial setup is straightforward. The deployment process took me around ten minutes to fifteen minutes."

"It offers excellent scalability."

Cons

"There is always a noise when you are going to manage any endpoint devices, and noise is definitely there with this solution."

"The reporting needs to be a bit more interactive."

"What frustrates me the most is just waiting and tapping my fingers, uncertain about whether my changes will take effect."

"More integration with monitoring tools is needed."

"The installation could be improved to be simplified."

"When Microsoft Intune is used with different android devices it does not always work as it is supposed to."

"I cannot think of any particular features which I consider to be most valuable."

"I heard some pain points. The main thing is the learning curve. It took time to implement. It was not the best product starting out of the gate."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"The documentation could be better."

"Migration from one version to another should be simplified further. Although improvements are underway, customers still find migrations a complex process."

"The solution's initial setup is a little bit tricky."

"I hope to see improvements in integration capabilities within Red Hat Satellite in the next release. Integration exists currently, but it requires programming knowledge to utilize the APIs effectively. This process is complex and not straightforward for those unfamiliar with the APIs."

"I wouldn't recommend this solution compared to other solutions."

"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."

"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."

"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."

More Red Hat Satellite cons

"If there's a dashboard like the ones provided by Apigee or Kong, that will be useful."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is average. Some of the costs are quite high depending on what the customer currently uses, but overall, it is not bad. I would not say that I would not recommend Intune based on the cost. I definitely would, but they can definitely improve on the cost. So overall, its cost is not bad."

"Intune comes with the licensing that is common for large organizations. However, Microsoft has recently released many add-ons that are very expensive, especially for large organizations or corporations."

"Licensing depends on how you are providing support to your enterprise, whether it's device-based or user-based."

"There is a license needed to use the solution and we are on an annual license."

"The price is reasonable, but they should lower it a bit to make it more competitive. It's cheaper than AirWatch and other products, but I still feel like Microsoft can make a base version or with Exchange online or a la carte only Intune version which will be useful. A customer who doesn't want to go full-fledged E3 or E5 can take out or consume an Intune solution only for their purpose, and we want to target that customer."

"The Intune license model is costly."

"The product is expensive."

"There is a license required to use this solution. However, it was part of a bundle package. Microsoft Intune is far less expensive than other solutions, such as Workspace ONE."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"The product is expensive."

"Our customers have to pay for the product's license."

"For us, Red Hat Satellite's pricing is between cheaper and moderate."

"Red Hat Satellite is expensive."

"Red Hat Satellite is expensive, but if we have more than 50 or 60 VMs, we cannot do away with the solution."

"The licensing depends on the number of servers."

"Red Hat Satellite is a little bit of an expensive product."

"Its price is good. They call it subscription, not license, and it is on a yearly basis. There is only one subscription, and that's it."

More Red Hat Satellite pricing and cost advice

"Spring Cloud is an open-source solution."

"It is an open-source or free version solution. It also has a paid version, but we have used the open-source version for now."

"Currently, we are not required to pay for licenses."
