We performed a comparison between HashiCorp Terraform and Red Hat Satellite 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 performance of Microsoft Intune is good."
"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."
"Remote Wipe and Autopilot is one of the best features."
"The mobile application management, MAM, is the most useful aspect of the solution."
"It's easy to manage and easy to configure."
"I can reach devices or computers over the internet. I don't need to worry about the network connectivity between the offices. I can manage any device. That is the most important part."
"I like the fact that it's integrated with the rest of the Microsoft products, so customers can manage it from their Office 365 portal or Azure portal."
"Stable solution at a good price."
"The state file is the most beneficial aspect of HashiCorp Terraform. It enables the retrieval and utilization of a previous state to build upon. This feature is particularly important since it allows for the identification of changes from the previous state, making the state file a critical component of the process."
"The feature "Terraform Plan" is the most valuable in HashiCorp Terraform as it allows us to see the differences between the current infrastructure and the one we are about to deploy, keeping things safe. Additionally, we appreciate the use of the modules as it helps in making the application scalable."
"HashiCorp Terraform is highly stable."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature of Terraform is the ability to use it as a coding language because it works in a way that's similar to other coding languages."
"It is one of the best things because now we have everything automated with Terraform. We didn't have an outage for the last three years because everything is written in a code, and every change we have made is recorded. If we didn't have a tool like Terraform, it would be extremely complex to achieve this level of maturity with infrastructure."
"It is the customization of Terraform's modules that I find most valuable."
"It's very easy to automate functions on the cloud with HashiCorp Terraform. The commands are easy as well."
"We've been getting reasonable support from Red Hat."
"It plays a significant role in managing the lifecycle of our systems and ensures that we can effectively control and update the software versions to align with our organization's needs."
"You don't need to depend on any third party. It's a complete solution for patch and configuration management when integrated with the existing system."
"It cuts down significantly on the administrative time it takes to patch systems in a large environment."
"The compliance auditing helped me a lot."
"The product allows us to handle patching for multiple servers at a time manually."
"The product helps me to manage a large number of servers from one console."
"The most valuable features of Red Hat Satellite are its support, simplicity, and patch management."
"There is room for improvement, particularly in terms of compatibility, extending beyond the well-known major brands."
"Microsoft Intune lags market leaders, such as Apperian, in its MAM capabilities."
"The closest Microsoft Intune can be to GPOs, the better. There needs to be more granularity on application deployments. However, they have done better recently with the application deployments."
"It just doesn't handle software updates well at all by itself. You need to be a scripting wizard to make those happen properly, or you use third-party tools. The Windows feature updates are very difficult to implement. I would like to see a proprietary built-in remote control tool. I know that they have Team Viewer integrated, but it is not seamless. It would be nice if they had a seamless remote desktop capability directly from the Intune console."
"Microsoft Intune is not user-friendly to manage and has room for improvement."
"There is room for improvement in integrating additional features such as Purview and SharePoint activities into Intune."
"Intune lags all of its competitors in terms of report generation."
"The main disadvantage seen today is regarding Linux clients. We have a lot of development resources that have Linux on their clients, and we can't manage them on the same platform, as we do with other clients such as macOS and Windows. So, it should have support for Linux clients. It should also have better support for macOS."
"I would like to see a short-term option for a short-term plan."
"Automation is needed to import everything at once from a manual environment or by a specific resource group."
"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."
"There is always room for improvement somewhere. I don't know everything about the product."
"The product must improve DevOps features."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"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."
"This solution could be improved by adding features such as CDM to accelerate the access of data by the users."
"The solution's initial setup is a little bit tricky."
"There needs to be some margin for improvement in terms of the way Satellite manages subscriptions. It is still very confusing when we have different contracts or different bundles of subscriptions, and we need to manage those within Satellite in a way that's very user-friendly."
"They could make it more easy to use and improve the GUI so that it's more intuitive."
"I would like to see the scalability, user interface, and reporting features improved and for the solution to be simplified. Instead of having complex engineering, it should be simple for the user."
"Improving integration could lead to a more unified management experience for multiple operating systems within our data center."
"It wasn't easy in the beginning, and some effort was required to work it out. I already had the product documentation, but it was not well organized. It wasn't easy to follow. There were a lot of documents here and there."
"Red Hat Satellite's pricing needs improvement."
"Red Hat Satellite has a short life cycle and we constantly need to update."
