Find out what your peers are saying about Red Hat, Microsoft, HCLTech and others in Configuration Management."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."
"Based on my experience, I find Intune very flexible for managing Windows devices. We can use scripting, and we can make use of the self-service portal or the company portal to publish some of the applications for Windows."
"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."
"It supports end-users who tend to lock their devices quite frequently. Its conditional access policy helps us keep the users logged into their devices."
"The synchronization of Intune with other Microsoft solutions is a valuable feature."
"The Microsoft Windows Autopilot and Defender policies are the most valuable features of this solution."
"There has been a noticeable increase in productivity for both my organization and clients."
"It's very informative when there is an error. It allows us to backtrace where the error is and resolve that ourselves. It's a bit of a Swiss Army penknife. We find that it fixes most issues."
"Puppet Enterprise has good functionalities."
"Puppet Enterprise is a stable solution."
"Anything that we manage through Puppet always runs perfectly."
"The versatility is great."
"The most valuable features are the agent, high load balancing, and overall robustness and features."
"Puppet Enterprise has reduced the time of production changes or environment changes."
"Puppet3 and 4 series provides optimum deployment solutions for infrastructure and applications."
"The main purpose for this automation tool would be: deploying, controlling, ordering change for the system and IT Infrastructure."
"Spring Cloud integrates well."
"It offers excellent scalability."
"The solution's initial setup is straightforward. The deployment process took me around ten minutes to fifteen minutes."
"The closest Microsoft Intune can be to GPOs, the better. There needs to be more granularity on application deployments. However, they have done better recently with the application deployments."
"I think there should be a better tracking of the cell phones used on the Intune."
"We would like to see support for Chrome and/or devices for Chromebooks."
"Areas for improvement in Intune include expanding support beyond Samsung devices to accommodate other Android manufacturers like Redmi and Motorola."
"The difficulty of the the roll out is surprisingly difficult considering this product is supposed to be an integrated part of the 365 suite."
"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 pricing can be expensive if you are not combining it with other products."
"There are a few security features that are not available in Microsoft Intune, when compared to other products."

"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."
"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."
"Puppet Enterprise should improve the general extensibility for places where they can't install it."
"We would like Puppet to add more integration for applications."
"At the beginning the initial setup was kind of complex."
"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."
