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."I like the group policy management feature, which performs application monitoring and device enrollment."
"It is very easy to use. It has a very easy interface."
"Based on my experience, I find Intune very flexible for managing Windows devices. We can use scripting, and we can make use of the self-service portal or the company portal to publish some of the applications for Windows."
"The most valuable feature for us is the security, including risk analysis and patch management."
"The Autopilot feature is fantastic. It is a Microsoft product, so it deals best with Microsoft operating systems, but it can integrate with iOS, Mac OS, Linux, and Android."
"The aspects I find most valuable are the managing the data and applications. I can also restrict the users to install any applications. I can also wipe the data if the phone was missplaced or stolen. These are the basics for me."
"Easy to use."
"The many policies available in Microsoft Intune for managing our devices are valuable."
"The product’s alert feature is good. We receive notifications whenever some failures occur in the configuration."
"The most valuable feature of SolarWinds Server Configuration Monitor is version control. For example, if we began on the first of the month and we considered that as the configuration of the server, I could set that configuration as my baseline. On a daily basis, if there was the operations team that did, for example, server patching, the tool will maintain all levels of versions."
"The setup is straightforward."
"SUSE Manager is the best solution for maintaining the Linux environment"
"When it comes to managing both Red Hat and SUSE environments, it provides the support for live patching, which is something I really, really appreciate."
"SUSE Manager helps to optimize operations at a reduced cost."
"They need to integrate more with security options."
"The security features should be improved."
"There can be delays in the deployment of new policies."
"Regarding mobile devices, Intune is good, but there are other services that I would say are ahead of Intune from an administration and reporting point of view."
"There should be more focus on mobile device security and integration."
"I think there should be a better tracking of the cell phones used on the Intune."
"In future releases, I would like to see better integration with Apple products."
"Lacking in features such as Wi-Fi and network security."
"In a feature release, they could enhance the reporting. However, we have not evaluated this part of the solution extensively."
"The product’s support services and licensing models need improvement."
"It can be complex and difficult for users who are new to Linux and don't have any technical expertise."
"I really would like to have a broader library of VCP's or playbooks that I can deploy."
"We sometimes have server issues and need to restart the service."
"The initial stage is a bit complex, but after that, everything runs seamlessly."
