We performed a comparison between SUSE Manager and vCenter Configuration Manager based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."For Windows services, there are multiple options within Intune to modernize it to be more internet-facing and dynamic."
"It is a very stable and scalable cloud-only solution."
"Remote Wipe and Autopilot is one of the best features."
"This product works very well for companies already using the full Microsoft suite."
"While Microsoft Intune boasts a wide range of features, its user-friendliness and bundled licensing cost are key considerations for me."
"Its security is most valuable. It gives us a way to secure devices, not only those that are steady. We do have a few tablets and other devices, and it is a way for us to secure these devices and manage them. We know they're out there and what's their status. We can manage their life cycle and verify that they're updated properly."
"For the price, the features included with Microsoft are appealing."
"While I don't think you can ever have full visibility and control, Intune certainly allows us to see the applications being used and tells us if things like Windows patches aren't applied to machines. It does a good job. That visibility makes life a little easier."
"SUSE Manager is the best solution for maintaining the Linux environment"
"SUSE Manager helps to optimize operations at a reduced cost."
"The setup is straightforward."
"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."
"My experience managing virtual environments using vCenter Configuration Manager has been quite smooth. Over time, I've observed that there's been a significant local competency built around the product, especially in India, where ESXi and VMware dominate the market. It's evident that vCenter Configuration Center is the preferred management tool in this context, and it's relatively easy to find expertise in the market."
"The stability and reliability are great."
"The interface is very user-friendly and the solution is simple to use."
"The platform is straightforward and user friendly."
"We can scale the solution as needed."
"vCenter Configuration Manager is pretty simple."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is the virtual machine management across different hosts, located in different areas."
"The technical support services are good."
"The backend of Microsoft Intune needs to be improved. We have seen a little bit of delay as compared to other MDM solutions. That needs to be improved. A little bit more granularity should also be added"
"They should improve its compatibility with other operating systems such as iOS and Linux. It supports Linux but they still need to work on the iOS part."
"Reporting could be improved. It needs to be more expensive and robust."
"It would be great if Intune offered better data protection controls for BYOD Windows PCs."
"The reporting needs to be a bit more interactive."
"When somebody has a customized application or their own company's application, we cannot deploy that application."
"There is improvement needed in integrating with the installed Office solutions versions, such as Office 2019. The Office 365 integrates without a problem."
"We need the capabilities of the Cloud Management Gateway (CMG) to be enhanced through Intune instead of Azure."
"We sometimes have server issues and need to restart the service."
"I really would like to have a broader library of VCP's or playbooks that I can deploy."
"The initial stage is a bit complex, but after that, everything runs seamlessly."
"It can be complex and difficult for users who are new to Linux and don't have any technical expertise."
"There could be an option for clients to manage the tool as well."
"SAP CRM could improve by adding additional automation features."
"The product's price could be lesser."
"They could improve the hybrid-cloud environment and its management, not only for the local host but also including the connection between public and private cloud."
"The dashboards in vCenter Configuration Manager are an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The cost of this solution should be improved."
"The licensing model has shifted from socket-based to core-based licensing, resulting in increased customer costs. Moreover, if a customer utilizes software like VMware, which integrates seamlessly with ESXi, it becomes even more challenging to consider replacing ESXi. Hence, many customers, particularly in India, are actively exploring alternatives."
"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
