Find out what your peers are saying about Red Hat, Microsoft, HCLTech and others in Configuration Management."One of the most valuable aspects of Microsoft Intune is its seamless integration with Azure Active Directory, offering capabilities akin to Group Policy Objects."
"Compliance and the policies that can be set are the most valuable features."
"The Asset Management and Auto Pilot are valuable features."
"The stability is good."
"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."
"It's easy to deploy a configuration or policy to a system, especially when you don't have Azure AD. Now we are talking to all these small and medium-sized customers who don't necessarily have an on-premise Windows Active Directory. If they have invested in Office 365 Premium, this functionality becomes available to them."
"It has improve our organization through the remote management of non-domain joined devices."
"A valuable feature is user enrollment, where users can enroll their devices in their organizations themselves."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the modules it offers."
"We save a lot of time with this solution."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its simplicity of SQL language, its compatibility with multiple cloud providers, and its modules like the open source modules available, especially considering the fact that I work mainly on AWS."
"Modules can be reused extremely easily."
"The most valuable feature is the support for different platforms like cloud, datacenters, VCS, databases, various storage types, and Kubernetes."
"The most valuable features of HashiCorp Terraform are automation and management capabilities."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the impact analysis."
"Helps me perform changes in connected infrastructure thanks to the discovery features."
"What would make this product better is adding more security policies and features in the next upgrade."
"Onboarding of endpoint devices is not straightforward. The onboarding process was a little heavier than I thought it would be. That's the key improvement area. Obviously, the more control you have over the devices, the better it is."
"Intune's areas for improvement revolve around security and certificate management."
"Reporting and troubleshooting for the application deployment could be better. It's very difficult to understand."
"Microsoft Intune lacks the ability to provide seamless remote assistance or remote control."
"The security features should be improved."
"Intune's third-party patch management could be better. It should be easier for the average system admin to keep non-Microsoft applications updated."
"It would be better if they can reduce the cost of the license."
"It would be nice if they could put our infrastructure on graphics or at least provide a map of our infrastructure."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The integration with this solution needs to be improved."
"If you are copying something from a well running machine to a remote machine, there are some issues with the current version, but it is acceptable."
"On a scale from one to ten, I would give this solution a rating of seven; strictly because I was uncomfortable using the ARM template earlier. After another six months, I am sure I will give it a rating of 10, but at this point in time in my experience, I say seven, but not because of the tool itself."
"The solution is complex when we use it for a loop. This is a problem, not because of the language itself, but because of how the infrastructure generally works. It's different from Python."
"The product must improve DevOps features."
"I initially found the initial HashiCorp Terraform difficult to comprehend. It's complex and not straightforward, requiring proper training to grasp it. Even someone with a background in networking or cybersecurity would need guidance from someone knowledgeable."
"The native UI should be simplified because it is outdated and a little bit over-complicated."
