We performed a comparison between HashiCorp Terraform and OpenText ZENworks Configuration Management 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."The most valuable features in Microsoft Intune for me are application deployment, Defender deployment, and asset management."
"The synchronization of Intune with other Microsoft solutions is a valuable feature."
"I like the group policy management feature, which performs application monitoring and device enrollment."
"Its protection policies are most valuable. It protects mobile devices as well as individual apps. It is pretty scalable, and its documentation is also pretty good. It is also pretty straightforward to deploy."
"Stable product that's easy to set up compared to other MDM products."
"Stable solution at a good price."
"I like that we can implement conditional access."
"For Windows services, there are multiple options within Intune to modernize it to be more internet-facing and dynamic."
"We save a lot of time with this solution."
"We frequently need to create and replicate infrastructure from various environments like dev and QA. The QA resources need to be identical to those in the dev environment. With a Terraform script, we can replicate the same 50 in the dev environment to the testing environment. This is tedious to do manually, and Terraform speeds up the process."
"It allows for the abstraction of the work away from the developer into automated processes."
"This solution makes it easier to manage a multi-cloud environment and have your entire infrastructure as code."
"The most valuable features of Terraform are leveraging public modules for EKS, KMS, and ECR."
"The most valuable feature is the great community support."
"Provides automation which has increased our efficiency."
"It is easy to recreate an exact duplicate or output of an environment."
"Helps me perform changes in connected infrastructure thanks to the discovery features."
"The most valuable feature is the impact analysis."
"Enhancements for managing MacOS more comprehensively would be beneficial."
"The reporting and cost have room for improvement."
"Reporting could be improved. It needs to be more expensive and robust."
"The UI is not user-friendly and has room for improvement."
"It would be beneficial to have a more straightforward understanding of Intune's capabilities, presented in a simplified manner."
"The biggest problem we ever have is when something goes out of date after 30 days when nobody has logged into it. We do have a problem trying to get those back online. We've been working with Microsoft to resolve that problem, but that's been the only issue that we've had in the last few years."
"They need to add more group policies. Intune currently does not have many group policies that you can deploy. Its reporting, which is very limited at the moment, also needs improvement. It will be great if they can add report customization. Its stability needs to be improved. Sometimes, when you register a device in Intune, it doesn't show up instantly on the engine portal on the admin side. They need to provide better support for complicated issues. They also have a long turnaround time."
"There is room for improvement, particularly in terms of compatibility, extending beyond the well-known major brands."
"The error logging could be better. Sometimes, when you try to set something on Terraform, it gives you an error, but you don't understand how the error has been logged."
"Terraform lacks in running script."
"From a user's perspective, it would be great if a UI tool is made available in the open source version as well, but I don't think it may be introduced because of the high costs for it announced by HashiCorp in its licensed version...HashiCorp Terraform can improve backward compatibility."
"It should have a more object-oriented approach like different coding languages."
"HashiCorp Terraform could improve the integration with the VCloud Director. When we manage the VCloud Director we end up wasting our time when creating virtual machines. HashiCorp Terraform knows about these issues and I think there might be a workaround but they should incorporate the fix in an upcoming release."
"On occasion, I have noticed a number of bugs in this solution that have needed to be fixed."
"If you are copying something from a well running machine to a remote machine, there are some issues with the current version, but it is acceptable."
"The price of the solution could improve."
"The native UI should be simplified because it is outdated and a little bit over-complicated."
