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.
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

"The most valuable feature for us is the security, including risk analysis and patch management."
"Microsoft Intune scales very effectively with our growing needs."
"I have no issues with the scalability and ability to expand Microsoft Intune."
"We have a BYOD policy, and this solution helps us manage our devices."
"Stable product that's easy to set up compared to other MDM products."
"It's easy to manage."
"Once it is well integrated with the rest of the environment, it makes everything easy."
"Microsoft integrated BitLocker and Active Directory into Intune, simplifying management."
"The product is convenient to use."
"Previously, we were using one server to update from a different repository over the HTTP. We had to manually manage the updates on the repository server. Satellite made the process easier."
"The most valuable feature is the management of the distributed tool we use in the Red Hat Linux Servers."
"The compliance auditing helped me a lot."
"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."
"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."
"Satellite gives administrators the ability to target deployments and only send out the updates or provision updates to certain groups."
"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 solution's initial setup is straightforward. The deployment process took me around ten minutes to fifteen minutes."
"It offers excellent scalability."
"Spring Cloud integrates well."
 

Cons

"Intune could be improved by organizing different solutions, like Defender and Sentinel, into a single package. This would allow us to focus on security while Microsoft manages other areas. Having a unified solution would drive better management of various sectors. Although the Intune user experience is good, we should continue enhancing it."
"More integration with monitoring tools is needed."
"I'd like some more reporting so that I don't have to delve into PowerShell and I can pull more of the local device information such as memory, apps installed, etc. It would be nice to be able to see the apps that are present there but might not be managed. For example, if they installed 7Zip, it could report that back via an installed program or feature to see what was currently installed."
"I would like to see better integration with Microsoft. There are a few things I can still do with Jamf that I am unable to do with Intune yet."
"An issue we have run into with Microsoft Endpoint Manager is that we cannot patch third-party products like Adobe and Chrome with it."
"At this time, I do not have any areas for improvement. I have heard about some downtime, but I am not in the local IT team."
"I also hope the cost of Remote Help will decrease because it's a much-needed Intune function."
"Currently, Microsoft Intune's focus is mainly on Windows, but they can make much more improvement in terms of other platforms."
"Red Hat Satellite has a short life cycle and we constantly need to update."
"Migration from one version to another should be simplified further. Although improvements are underway, customers still find migrations a complex process."
"Automation can always be improved and refined to continue to make it better."
"I would like the direct integration with insights to be re-established."
"The solution's initial setup is a little bit tricky."
"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 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."
"The documentation could be better."
"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

"There is a cost benefit of using Microsoft Intune because of the packaging with other Microsoft products."
"Microsoft Intune has been incorporated into our Microsoft E5 licenses."
"We have the business premium licenses for the solution."
"The pricing is competitive, but it is not cheap."
"There is a license needed to use the solution and we are on an annual license."
"Intune is available as an individual product, but it also comes with Office 365 Premium or an Enterprise license, and the price varies for each version."
"The licensing costs we leave up to the customer and these vary from one to another."
"Microsoft Intune costs about $7 per user per month, which is somewhat on the pricier end. That said, it's a reliable product, so it's fair."
"The cost for a larger enterprise is probably almost always a boon."
"The licensing depends on the number of servers."
"Our customers have to pay for the product's license."
"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."
"The product is expensive."
"The solution is worth the cost."
"The price could be lower and more adaptive."
"Spring Cloud is an open-source solution."
"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."
