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 biggest thing for us is enforcing logins only from devices that are managed by Intune."
"Easy to use."
"The conditional access policies that we set up are very useful."
"Intune can wipe devices. For example, if a disgruntled employee wants to leak the data on their company phone, Intune can terminate their access and wipe the entire device with a click."
"We have a BYOD policy, and this solution helps us manage our devices."
"It is a very helpful solution."
"This product offers an alternative solution to other UEM (Unified Endpoint Management) solutions."
"The biggest benefits of Intune are the ability to push changes and the added security. When we moved forward with Defender, we onboarded all those machines automatically. That helps dramatically. For a while, we were left with machines that weren't protected. We could see where people had done things they shouldn't have done, and Defender saved our skins a few times. It didn't happen a lot, but it happened enough that it made us glad we made that decision."
"The most valuable feature of HashiCorp Terraform is the custom modules."
"Can be used across multiple cloud providers and multiple platforms."
"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."
"The solution allows us to work faster with ease and to set up new environments and workspaces."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its simplicity of SQL language, its compatibility with multiple cloud providers, and its modules like the open source modules available, especially considering the fact that I work mainly on AWS."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is the coding of our infrastructure. You can code it once and run it multiple times."
"The most valuable feature is the great community support."
"The most valuable feature is the impact analysis."
"Helps me perform changes in connected infrastructure thanks to the discovery features."
"When somebody has a customized application or their own company's application, we cannot deploy that application."
"There are some issues using the solution with macOS and iOS, and it offers limited granular control with them. Intune works better on Windows and Android."
"I'm still playing around with it and haven't had any issues with the product yet, but support can definitely be improved."
"The reporting needs to be a bit more interactive."
"There is room for improvement, particularly in terms of compatibility, extending beyond the well-known major brands."
"There can be more logs. I do not have any other requirements."
"Lacks the ability to deploy more ways of management, managing devices and processing the policies."
"There are items that require improvements. One is the controls from iOS."
"I would want to see more programmatic capabilities implemented, such as if, else, and simple to manage things in terms of how I can use some programming functions to assist us to achieve more. I would like to have programming language-relevant features, to have programming language be the primary way."
"I initially found the initial HashiCorp Terraform difficult to comprehend. It's complex and not straightforward, requiring proper training to grasp it. Even someone with a background in networking or cybersecurity would need guidance from someone knowledgeable."
"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 solution is missing a lot of properties for specific resources."
"It would be nice if they could put our infrastructure on graphics or at least provide a map of our infrastructure."
"With cloud providers always adding new resource types, there are certain resources that Terraform does not support. It would be great if it could support those resources as well."
"They should include tutorials for understanding the use cases."
"They have added a feature that helps us to import existing resources to our workspace, but if they can help us to create the code for the import, as well, then it would be a great addition."
"The native UI should be simplified because it is outdated and a little bit over-complicated."
