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."Agile and easy to deploy MDM solution that covers the maximum number of policies. Stable, scalable, and with knowledgeable technical support."
"The most valuable includes managing everything from a single console."
"Intune's unified endpoint management platform is invaluable."
"The solution appears to be stable and scalable."
"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 Asset Management and Auto Pilot are valuable features."
"Fortunately, now everything is streamlined into a single, unified platform."
"The solution is easy to use, simple to understand for those new to using it, and combined with the other Microsoft products it makes for an overall good package."
"This solution makes it easier to manage a multi-cloud environment and have your entire infrastructure as code."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the modules it offers."
"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."
"It is easy to recreate an exact duplicate or output of an environment."
"It allows for the abstraction of the work away from the developer into automated processes."
"The most valuable feature is the great community support."
"It is the customization of Terraform's modules that I find most valuable."
"The environment is very good. That's awesome."
"Helps me perform changes in connected infrastructure thanks to the discovery features."
"The most valuable feature is the impact analysis."
"It needs incorporation of Knox, ZeroTouch, etc."
"There is room for improvement, particularly in terms of compatibility, extending beyond the well-known major brands."
"I would like the ability to install the agent on devices from suppliers, which would enable us to implement a zero-trust strategy for guest devices."
"There can be more logs. I do not have any other requirements."
"When Microsoft Intune is used with different android devices it does not always work as it is supposed to."
"The documentation about the custom image setup could be better. Although Microsoft provides the steps to configure Intune or set up or deploy Intune, it doesn't have much information related to custom images. If you ask, "how can we deploy the custom image?" There is no information. The steps they mention ask you to connect to your on-premises environment or create your own image on the cloud itself once there is connectivity. But I needed to go to multiple websites to get all this information. I had to figure out how to upload the custom image if you want to use the on-premise custom image for Cloud PC. If you have the proper subscription, you must have the right access, like global admin or owner. Then you can add your custom image to that. There are no steps mentioned over there. Microsoft Intune doesn't have Chrome browser support. I would like to have that support because they will want it if we pitch the product to clients."
"The pricing could be improved."
"One area for improvement is app deployment. Another is the Windows update rollout. If you're rolling out an object to a device that's offline, Intune stops trying to reach this device after it sits idle for a bit. We are forced to find a workaround that could help manage that."
"I would like to see a short-term option for a short-term plan."
"Some areas where Terraform could improve would be challenges in managing sensitive information, especially when dealing with secret files or credentials."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"They should include tutorials for understanding the use cases."
"Terraform doesn't support Artifactory as a backend."
"The solution is missing a lot of properties for specific resources."
"The product must improve DevOps features."
"When a misconfiguration or drift occurs, fixing the issue can be difficult. For instance, if there is a change in API calls while a script is running, it can be challenging to make corrections. This may require additional review and modifications to the code. I recall an instance where an industry budget creation process was altered, and it took significant time to amend the code. In fact, I had to add five or six different script portions to resolve the issue."
"The native UI should be simplified because it is outdated and a little bit over-complicated."
