Find out what your peers are saying about Red Hat, Microsoft, HCLTech and others in Configuration Management."Remote Wipe and Autopilot is one of the best features."
"It has a useful device management feature."
"We are a remote company, and the product helps us manage the global endpoints. It helps us natively manage the endpoints in the cloud from anywhere."
"The feature I like the most is that we can perform remote tasks. If we want to retire or wipe out personal data or corporate data from a device, we can use Microsoft Intune remotely, and with the click of a button, data is removed automatically. Nothing needs to be done from the end-user side."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable features in Microsoft Intune for me are application deployment, Defender deployment, and asset management."
"The technical support of Microsoft Intune is good."
"Fortunately, now everything is streamlined into a single, unified platform."
"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."
"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."
"With AWS Systems Manager, our company can patch our systems directly from it, so we don't need to patch our systems manually."
"AWS provides Auto Scaling groups."
"Has a variety of automation options."
"The solution's ability to scale is good."
"The solution is user-friendly"
"Its ticketing is pretty good."
"Reporting needs improvement."
"Microsoft Intune needs to improve the initial login process."
"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."
"The solution can have some compliance problems in general and the end-point user can bypass easily the company policies in Intune."
"It's only good for a Microsoft environment."
"Microsoft Intune lags market leaders, such as Apperian, in its MAM capabilities."
"In the past, I raised some tickets for the enhancement feature, which was missing in Intune."
"I have a lot of Apple products in my environment. It would be nice to have an improved integration of Apple products with Microsoft Intune without Jam."
"Lacks sufficient integrations."
"AWS does not have EKS cluster backup."
"The fact that AWS Systems Manager takes time to complete the patching process, makes it an area where improvements are required."
"The current challenge is that we can't pull any incidents from other accounts."
"Additional features can be added as per customer requirements."
"The AWS UIs are not the most intuitive. Also, the usability needs room for improvement."
"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."
"I have heard feedback that the imaging is slow. It takes somewhere around an hour to image one PC."
