Enables management of multiple operating systems with a single license
The best feature is that it's a Microsoft product, so if anything goes wrong, we get quick support for anything required. Remote system functionality allows us to sit anywhere and take control of any device via remote management. We can enhance security for clients' laptops with built-in Microsoft Defender, which is available with the Microsoft Intune license. We use it for reporting purposes through endpoint analytics. When pushing scripting, there are two types available: remediation script and reservation script. Through endpoint analytics, you can push defender policies to clients. It helps with reporting, inventory updates, and monitoring tenant status health.

Empowers reliable and flexible management of complex configurations
Our customers primarily look for two main features: reliability and flexibility. They want tools that manage everything without issues and offer precise solutions for different users and applications on each machine. It is crucial for updates or migrations to be problem-free with current applications on any machine. Complex configurations for upgrades and application patches are handled expertly with Red Hat Satellite.

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

"The key benefit of Intune is its integration with the Microsoft ecosystem."
"The ease of applying security policies to applications we deploy is the most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune."
"For our clients, the conditional access feature along with different compliance policies that they can set is valuable."
"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."
"Microsoft Intune does help me save time in terms of management of various devices—I don't have to go to those locations to manage the devices at those locations, I can do it remotely, which is very helpful."
"The dashboards, the security, and the customization capabilities work very well for us."
"Intune's integration with Microsoft 365 is exceptional."
"It has improve our organization through the remote management of non-domain joined devices."
"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."
"We've been getting reasonable support from Red Hat."
"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."
"Technical support has been good."
"You don't need to depend on any third party. It's a complete solution for patch and configuration management when integrated with the existing system."
"The product is convenient to use."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is vulnerability management."
"I'm currently transitioning to the new version 8. It seems necessary to remove some complexities, such as authentication with hypervisors, to streamline the process."
"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."
 

Cons

"The security aspect could be more effective."
"It should be simplified. I've worked with many different mobile device management solutions, and Intune is one of the more complex ones. It could be more simplified, and some of it is related to the wording that is being used, such as a configuration profile versus a policy. They really should have had different names to make it less confusing."
"What frustrates me the most is just waiting and tapping my fingers, uncertain about whether my changes will take effect."
"Enrollment into the Microsoft Intune service can still get easier, especially for legacy-managed systems, such as how we get it from a GPO or an SCCM configuration into Intune."
"In an upcoming release, I would like to see some kind of analytics report."
"We haven't really gone through all the features of Intune. We are just discovering them. Every day, we see a new feature that we want to apply, but what will be great for Intune is to be able to deploy apps in a simple fashion. We should be able to easily install various apps on the Windows platform, iOS, and Android. Currently, we have to write some scripts. It's not as straightforward as we would like it to be. It should be simplified so that we can do it just with three clicks—next, next, finish—without needing to write a script."
"When somebody has a customized application or their own company's application, we cannot deploy that application."
"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."
"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."
"It has not been significantly updated in a while."
"The documentation could be better."
"I would like the direct integration with insights to be re-established."
"Red Hat Satellite's pricing needs improvement."
"The dashboard of Satellite is not encouraging. It does not adequately showcase all the functionality it offers."
"Migration from one version to another should be simplified further."
"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."
"Stability is one area in the solution that needs to improve."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the price a four out of ten with ten being the most expensive."
"I am satisfied with the pricing."
"There is a cost benefit of using Microsoft Intune because of the packaging with other Microsoft products."
"The pricing is not cheap, especially with inflation. They've had to increase their prices. It's not excessive, but alright."
"Microsoft Intune is included in the E5 license at no additional cost."
"The price of Intune is included with the license for Office 365, so we don't have to pay anything extra for it."
"In terms of the product price and licensing costs, my company finds the product to be reasonably priced."
"Cost is not my department, but the product is included in the E5 license that we already pay for every user, so no additional cost is incurred."
"Our customers have to pay for the product's license."
"The product is very expensive for our customers."
"Red Hat Satellite is expensive, but if we have more than 50 or 60 VMs, we cannot do away with the solution."
"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."
"Red Hat Satellite is expensive."
"For us, Red Hat Satellite's pricing is between cheaper and moderate."
"The licensing depends on the number of servers."
"The cost for a larger enterprise is probably almost always a boon."
"Currently, we are not required to pay for licenses."
"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."
"Spring Cloud is an open-source solution."
