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."We have a BYOD policy, and this solution helps us manage our devices."
"It is a very helpful solution."
"We are using the mobile feature, and we are also using MDM to lock the devices, to push restrictions, et cetera"
"Compliance and the policies that can be set are the most valuable features."
"The performance of Microsoft Intune is good."
"Being able to manage the devices remotely is most valuable. We can push security requirements through Microsoft Intune."
"As the solution is a software as a service, the scalability is unlimited."
"While Microsoft Intune boasts a wide range of features, its user-friendliness and bundled licensing cost are key considerations for me."
"Systems Manager has a feature where it analyzes the logs and gives us a performance overview in the form of a graph. We know when it's taking up more resources and when there are spikes, so we can predict the usability."
"Has a variety of automation options."
"The solution is user-friendly"
"The solution's ability to scale is good."
"With AWS Systems Manager, our company can patch our systems directly from it, so we don't need to patch our systems manually."
"When we do the automation in the cloud, we use the SSM agent. This helps us to test our automation and documents, and monitor the cloud."
"AWS provides Auto Scaling groups."
"The most valuable feature is the impact analysis."
"Helps me perform changes in connected infrastructure thanks to the discovery features."
"The UI is not user-friendly and has room for improvement."
"The reports aren't complete, and it's not easy to build custom reports. For example, Windows Autopilot isn't working well in cases where the computers don't have a good internet connection. Then the option is not good enough."
"Sometimes, updating a client policy is very difficult. This needs to be improved."
"A new Intune feature allows application packaging, but it incurs additional licensing costs for a significant number of applications."
"There can be more logs. I do not have any other requirements."
"The scalability could be improved, and like most other MDM products, Intune is good but not 100% there yet."
"Integrating certain group policies can be challenging and may necessitate using on-premises systems to integrate them with Microsoft Intune."
"In the next release, I would like a feature to be able to properly lock down the device. For example, if an attacker or somebody steals the phone, you can be sure that the pin cannot be broken."
"The AWS UIs are not the most intuitive. Also, the usability needs room for improvement."
"The current challenge is that we can't pull any incidents from other accounts."
"The fact that AWS Systems Manager takes time to complete the patching process, makes it an area where improvements are required."
"AWS does not have EKS cluster backup."
"We formerly used third-party products to analyze the log, give us information, and find bottlenecks. Systems Manager could provide more tools that conduct this analysis, so we don't have to do it ourselves."
"Lacks sufficient integrations."
"Additional features can be added as per customer requirements."
"The native UI should be simplified because it is outdated and a little bit over-complicated."
