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.

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…
Victor Estival - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy to deploy, offers embedded monitoring, and is very stable
I am a SUSE partner. I have a central server and then I'm connected to the VPN. That way, I can connect to all different customers. I'd advise new users to certainly read the documentation, as that's what I tend to skip. However, it's an important step. Try to automate as much as you can. One of the most powerful things that I noticed when I arrived, was that it was underutilized, and there are all of these automation capabilities that SUSE Manager has. It's saved just so much time for me. I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The system itself is great."
"The most important thing for me is the autopilot feature."
"The tool's most valuable feature is Autopilot."
"What I like most about the tool is that it's now very easy to set up a device for someone to use. It also helps us tremendously in managing security. Before, we used on-premise management with a domain controller. It was difficult to manage security comprehensively. For example, it was hard to know which computers were updated. We weren't able to do that easily with our previous solution."
"The ability to block and erase remote devices is valuable to us, especially when those devices are lost."
"The Microsoft Windows Autopilot and Defender policies are the most valuable features of this solution."
"We are a remote company, and the product helps us manage the global endpoints. It helps us natively manage the endpoints in the cloud from anywhere."
"The solution is scalable. We currently have tens of thousands of users within our organization using the solution."
"The solution's initial setup is straightforward. The deployment process took me around ten minutes to fifteen minutes."
"Spring Cloud integrates well."
"It offers excellent scalability."
"SUSE Manager is the best solution for maintaining the Linux environment"
"What I appreciate best about SUSE Manager is that it supports most of the Linux flavors."
"SUSE Manager is valuable for managing systems, patching, and utilizing SaltStack connectivity for various installations and other routines."
"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."
"The setup is straightforward."
"SUSE Manager helps to optimize operations at a reduced cost."
 

Cons

"There should be more support for macOS. Even though macOS is supported by Intune and Microsoft is working very hard to get more features into Intune to manage macOS, that's one thing they can give a lot more attention to."
"Sometimes, updating a client policy is very difficult. This needs to be improved."
"The solution could improve by having better integration with Apple."
"I think that there is room for improvement with the reporting. If this is done, it will be a better product."
"Microsoft Intune could be improved by adding short video tutorials or direct links to Microsoft articles in the information button."
"The interface is not as modern as some competitors in terms of single pane of glass visibility across the entire landscape. It has a very Azure vibe and may not be as graphically appealing as other products."
"Intune has limited integration with non-Microsoft solutions."
"We would like to see support for Chrome and/or devices for Chromebooks."
"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."
"It would be beneficial for the framework to become more lightweight and efficient when transitioning to the cloud."
"We sometimes have server issues and need to restart the service."
"From an integration perspective, it is difficult to integrate with Jira or any ticketing tool, which is challenging."
"It can be complex and difficult for users who are new to Linux and don't have any technical expertise."
"The initial setup of SUSE Manager is quite complex."
"The initial stage is a bit complex, but after that, everything runs seamlessly."
"I really would like to have a broader library of VCP's or playbooks that I can deploy."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is offered as part of a Microsoft standard bundle. The pricing can be competitive to Airwatch, and Maas360."
"Intune is cost-effective as it is included in some of the Office 365 packages."
"If you ask the accountant or the finance department, they'll tell you that it is way too expensive, but when I look at the cost and compare it with the value you actually get, it's more than fair."
"We work with the subscription rather than a server license. I think it's economical this way because we don't have to have a server license for that, and I think that works in our favor."
"The price of Intune is included with the license for Office 365, so we don't have to pay anything extra for it."
"Previously the price was $4 per month per user. Now it's $2.25 per user per month."
"The price is very reasonable."
"The pricing for Microsoft Intune is reasonable. Our clients are satisfied."
"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."
"Spring Cloud is an open-source solution."
