We performed a comparison between Microsoft Intune and Red Hat Satellite 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."Conditional access has helped us tailor and enforce our security policies in the mobile space."
"The mobile application management, MAM, is the most useful aspect of the solution."
"The solution appears to be stable and scalable."
"It is a helpful tool to manage BYOD policies."
"With on-premises Active Directory, the main challenge was that we had no control when a user was working from home. We didn't know what exactly a user was doing and whether the AV was up to date or not. Intune provides better control of their machines."
"The initial setup is not overly complex or difficult."
"I like the group policy management feature, which performs application monitoring and device enrollment."
"The most valuable feature of Intune is the central dashboard for compliance and policy management."
"It cuts down significantly on the administrative time it takes to patch systems in a large environment."
"Technical support has been good."
"It plays a significant role in managing the lifecycle of our systems and ensures that we can effectively control and update the software versions to align with our organization's needs."
"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."
"The 'remote execution' feature further helps manage systems on a consistent basis."
"Patch management is, for sure, most valuable. For license management and patch management, I would rate it a 10 out of 10."
"The product is convenient to use."
"Additional application deployment options e.g. MSI deployment with more complex parameters or additional side-by-side files, and non-MSI deployment options."
"There could be more wizard-driven policy development or creation. Some of the policies can get quite complex. If they have a wizard that assists the administrators in creating the policy, that will be a great job."
"Deploying an app can be a complex process due to dependencies."
"There are a few security features that are not available in Microsoft Intune, when compared to other products."
"There is improvement needed in integrating with the installed Office solutions versions, such as Office 2019. The Office 365 integrates without a problem."
"I'd suggest adding more features for macOS in Intune. There should be more functionality for managing macOS. There should be a better capability for pushing things down on macOS. Currently, Intune is not capable of managing macOS at the same level as Windows."
"It would be good if, in addition to the minimal patching and compliance, we could also use Intune for application deployment. For instance, if a device is not patched, Intune should have the ability to push not only a Microsoft patch but also other patches, such as a browser patch."
"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."
"There could be a feature to simplify the process without the requirement of any patch manager subscription."
"Red Hat Satellite has a short life cycle and we constantly need to update."
"The documentation could be better."
"I would like to see the scalability, user interface, and reporting features improved and for the solution to be simplified. Instead of having complex engineering, it should be simple for the user."
"The product could have more diversity in what it is able to deploy and might do better if it was not dedicated to Red Hat products only."
"It has not been significantly updated in a while."
"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."
"Red Hat Satellite's pricing needs improvement."
