We performed a comparison between AWS CloudFormation and Spring Cloud 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."While Microsoft Intune boasts a wide range of features, its user-friendliness and bundled licensing cost are key considerations for me."
"For our office workers who are not based in Norway, when we order the PC, we can do some of the settings for them. These are standardized settings. We can set them up exactly as they are in Norway so that they're the same."
"This product works very well for companies already using the full Microsoft suite."
"There has been a noticeable increase in productivity for both my organization and clients."
"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."
"It is a comprehensive security solution that not only controls access to enterprise resources but also tracks and prevents unauthorized access, ensuring the protection of sensitive data and preventing potential data loss scenarios."
"The stability of Microsoft Intune is good."
"Conditional access helps me control uncontrolled access."
"I appreciate the flexibility of infrastructure as code. With CloudFormation, we can define ground rules, control usage limits, and scale our infrastructure up or down programmatically. Having this level of control through code on infra is a major benefit. That's the beauty of CloudFormation."
"The CloudFormation template can be reused to create multiple stacks, reducing duplications and improving our infrastructure."
"There is a cost-benefit to using CloudFormation that comes about because of the automation that it provides."
"Versioning makes our work easy."
"The integration of the solution is very good."
"It is easy to work from the console and deploy new database services."
"It allows defining the infrastructure as code using templates, which describe the desired state of the infrastructure."
"With CloudFormation, there is no need to use complicated coding."
"The solution's initial setup is straightforward. The deployment process took me around ten minutes to fifteen minutes."
"It offers excellent scalability."
"Spring Cloud integrates well."
"A new Intune feature allows application packaging, but it incurs additional licensing costs for a significant number of applications."
"We need the capabilities of the Cloud Management Gateway (CMG) to be enhanced through Intune instead of Azure."
"Microsoft Intune needs to improve the initial login process."
"The installation is very easy. However, to be able to configure it you will need special knowledge, such as training or self-studies to have a proper level of security. There are many settings one has to understand before being able to implement Microsoft Intune."
"The configuration could be better by consolidating options and making it simpler."
"Deploying an app can be a complex process due to dependencies."
"Sometimes, updating a client policy is very difficult. This needs to be improved."
"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."
"This tool is not intuitive and there are others that are easier to understand."
"AWS CloudFormation allows you to use the code templates written in JSON and YAML, but not directly in Python. Adding this feature would be beneficial."
"They could improve the product's capability to handle circular dependencies more effectively."
"GUI could be improved by adding graphical components."
"There is less support for on-premise environments."
"Provisioning a large environment or a large number of services takes a bit more time than with Terraform."
"It would help all users if AWS improved the auto-generation of the CloudFormation file."
"The conditions that can be added in AWS CloudFormation are not as powerful as any programming language."
"If there's a dashboard like the ones provided by Apigee or Kong, that will be useful."
"It would be beneficial for the framework to become more lightweight and efficient when transitioning to the cloud."
"Stability is one area in the solution that needs to improve."
