Joseph Merusi - PeerSpot reviewer
Everything has worked better since we started using it
Sometimes the syncing is inconsistent. I'm confident that the devices are checking in every eight hours, but sometimes the devices aren't picking up the settings as quickly as I would expect. Some features haven't been updated in a while, and Microsoft doesn't seem interested in developing them. Unless you talk to an engineer, you don't know whether there will be an update. There are communication issues, so you might start working with a feature without knowing if it will be deprecated six months from now. Some reporting areas still need development. For example, I noticed that the reporting for driver updates is still confusing.
Shambhu Narayan  Singh - PeerSpot reviewer
A simple solution that provides good patch management and customer support
Users using the solution for the first time should have very good and strong technical knowledge about Red Hat because it's a very critical product of Red Hat. If you misuse it, you might end up with your production servers down. So, you must be very careful while using the solution for the first time. Overall, I rate Red Hat Satellite an eight out of ten.
Erick  Karanja - PeerSpot reviewer
Highly scalable development of cloud-native applications that offers an extensive range of tools and features, with significant learning curve and complex configurations
We use it for building cloud-native applications and APIs and it helps us effectively manage various aspects of our application It enables you to create applications that can start up more quickly than a standard Spring Boot application. It would be beneficial for the framework to become more…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Compliance and the policies that can be set are the most valuable features."
"What I like the most about Microsoft Intune is its ability to manage mobile devices. Through integration with System Center, it can also manage desktops and laptops."
"I appreciate how easy it is to deploy certificates to end users to get control over their device with Microsoft Intune; that's what Microsoft Intune is known for, and that's what we use them for."
"I find Microsoft Intune valuable primarily for its Windows management capabilities, along with its Android Enterprise and Apple device management for mobile devices."
"The most valuable feature of Intune is the ability to reset a lost device and remove all the data."
"The user experience of Microsoft Intune is quite good because there's not much disturbance in the background; it's just running in the background."
"I like how Microsoft Intune lets me lock down the email profile and make it accessible only on certain devices."
"It has helped with compliance. It has helped to ensure that devices comply with the organization's policy. If they are not compliant and secure, they cannot access the resources."
"I like the integration with other tools."
"The product allows us to handle patching for multiple servers at a time manually."
"It has been a stable solution...It is a totally scalable solution."
"The 'remote execution' feature further helps manage systems on a consistent basis."
"The compliance auditing helped me a lot."
"It cuts down significantly on the administrative time it takes to patch systems in a large environment."
"The product is convenient to use."
"Red Hat provides one of the best customer support services."
"It offers excellent scalability."
"The solution's initial setup is straightforward. The deployment process took me around ten minutes to fifteen minutes."
"Spring Cloud integrates well."
 

Cons

"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."
"It just doesn't handle software updates well at all by itself. You need to be a scripting wizard to make those happen properly, or you use third-party tools. The Windows feature updates are very difficult to implement. I would like to see a proprietary built-in remote control tool. I know that they have Team Viewer integrated, but it is not seamless. It would be nice if they had a seamless remote desktop capability directly from the Intune console."
"There are a lot of updates happening on Microsoft."
"Intune's server management could be better. If it could incorporate more features from System Center into Intune's Configuration Manager, it would be beneficial."
"There should be more focus on mobile device security and integration."
"The closest Microsoft Intune can be to GPOs, the better. There needs to be more granularity on application deployments. However, they have done better recently with the application deployments."
"Intune should support platforms other than Windows. We have encountered several limitations, especially when handling iOS devices."
"They need to add more group policies. Intune currently does not have many group policies that you can deploy. Its reporting, which is very limited at the moment, also needs improvement. It will be great if they can add report customization. Its stability needs to be improved. Sometimes, when you register a device in Intune, it doesn't show up instantly on the engine portal on the admin side. They need to provide better support for complicated issues. They also have a long turnaround time."
"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."
"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."
"Migration from one version to another should be simplified further. Although improvements are underway, customers still find migrations a complex process."
"I would like the direct integration with insights to be re-established."
"The dashboard of Satellite is not encouraging. It does not adequately showcase all the functionality it offers."
"There could be a feature to simplify the process without the requirement of any patch manager subscription."
"Migration from one version to another should be simplified further."
"It has not been significantly updated in a while."
"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 comes with the E5 plan. We bought the E5 plan from Microsoft."
"Microsoft Intune is not cost-effective as a standalone product."
"While I can't provide insights from a business perspective, it's worth noting that the pricing may differ significantly, and the discount we received might not be reflective of standard business rates."
"Microsoft Intune's costliness stems from licensing fees and the overhead associated with its management, user experience, and device remediation."
"If you're ever going to buy an Office 365 environment, then pricing is reasonable given all that it does, but if you're not, then you might find the pricing expensive."
"There is a license needed for this solution and it is either included in one of the enterprise license agreements. Microsoft licensing is a mathematical institute, it could be quite complex. We tend to ask specialized organizations to research what the most profitable way it would be for us to use licenses in the organizations."
"It's monthly for us, but it's built into the license cost that we pay our IT each month. It's maybe 129 Kroner per head, which translates to £10. There are some additional costs. Our IT had to set up and configure their own server, so there is an extra cost for that, but I'm not sure what that costs."
"Its price is quite okay. I wish they provide certain additional features with the same license."
"The cost for a larger enterprise is probably almost always a boon."
"The product is very expensive for our customers."
"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, but if we have more than 50 or 60 VMs, we cannot do away with the solution."
"The solution is worth the cost."
"The price could be lower and more adaptive."
"Our customers have to pay for the product's license."
"The licensing depends on the number of servers."
"Currently, we are not required to pay for licenses."
"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."
