"Intune's feature that I have found most valuable is its auto-pilot feature."
"The performance of Microsoft Intune is good."
"I like how Microsoft Intune lets me lock down the email profile and make it accessible only on certain devices."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is having all our devices compliant with our policies."
"The conditional access policies that we set up are very useful."
"Remote Wipe and Autopilot is one of the best features."
"We already use a lot of Microsoft products in our company, and therefore, it made sense to also use this product."
"Puppet Enterprise is a stable solution."
"The main purpose for this automation tool would be: deploying, controlling, ordering change for the system and IT Infrastructure."
"Puppet Enterprise has good functionalities."
"Puppet Enterprise has reduced the time of production changes or environment changes."
"The most valuable features are the agent, high load balancing, and overall robustness and features."
"The versatility is great."
"Puppet3 and 4 series provides optimum deployment solutions for infrastructure and applications."
"Anything that we manage through Puppet always runs perfectly."
"The product is convenient to use."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is vulnerability management."
"The most valuable feature is the management of the distributed tool we use in the Red Hat Linux Servers."
"It has been a stable solution...It is a totally scalable solution."
"Technical support has been good."
"The most valuable features of Red Hat Satellite are its support, simplicity, and patch management."
"The product helps me to manage a large number of servers from one console."
"The product allows us to handle patching for multiple servers at a time manually."
"There's quite a lot of development that they can do within their Intune dashboard. I think there are too many lines hyperlinked to move you around. Others, in contrast, give you a simple dashboard and an intuitive administrative walkthrough."
"I would like to see easier pushdowns. Currently, we have to package our own software and then push it. Intune can make that way easier and integrate applications, such as Zoom and Adobe Acrobat, that are used by a lot of enterprise or corporate organizations."
"There is still a gap between SCCM and Intune, especially in the reporting, inventory, and software deployment areas."
"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."
"Lacking in features such as Wi-Fi and network security."
"In the next release, I would like a feature to be able to properly lock down the device. For example, if an attacker or somebody steals the phone, you can be sure that the pin cannot be broken."
"The reporting could be improved, as it's pretty poor compared to other products of this type."
"There can be more logs. I do not have any other requirements."
"The solution has really complex code, you have to understand the Ruby language. However, once you know the code then you can move ahead without any problems."
"There's a lot of scope for enhancement on the DevSecOps side. They should definitely include features for compliance, for both the Linux and Windows side of the devices, as well as for network devices. Compliance is something they need to work on."
"Puppet Enterprise is more complex and difficult to configure."
"We would like Puppet to add more integration for applications."
"At the beginning the initial setup was kind of complex."
"It's a bit of a pain point to make sure that everything works once we've upgraded it because Puppet has been evolving pretty fast."
"Puppet Enterprise should improve the general extensibility for places where they can't install it."
"Regarding the product's ability to support third-party tools, Red Hat doesn't support all the layers from the open-source version of Linux."
"I would like the direct integration with insights to be re-established."
"Red Hat Satellite has a short life cycle and we constantly need to update."
"It should basically include a complete slew of system management and monitoring tools such as Nagios. It should be a single pane of glass that gives us a complete solution. It is a good solution, but it is missing a few important things. We're using Capsule for DMVs on other secured zones. Capsule is a part of Satellite to be a proxy of sorts."
"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."
"The documentation could be better."
"There could be a feature to simplify the process without the requirement of any patch manager subscription."
"Red Hat Satellite's pricing needs improvement."
