Find out what your peers are saying about Red Hat, Microsoft, HCLTech and others in Configuration Management."We are using the mobile feature, and we are also using MDM to lock the devices, to push restrictions, et cetera"
"The feature I like the most is that we can perform remote tasks. If we want to retire or wipe out personal data or corporate data from a device, we can use Microsoft Intune remotely, and with the click of a button, data is removed automatically. Nothing needs to be done from the end-user side."
"The key benefit of Intune is its integration with the Microsoft ecosystem."
"If the product works, remote access will be a benefit. To this point we have not had reason to have confidence in achieving that access."
"One of the biggest advantages of Microsoft Intune is that it brings the management of Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and even Linux under a single pane of glass."
"Autopilot is the most valuable feature."
"The stability of Microsoft Intune is good."
"It allows our clients to have the confidence to centrally manage policies for security. It helps them in securing the organization from a technology aspect."
"The solution is user-friendly"
"With AWS Systems Manager, our company can patch our systems directly from it, so we don't need to patch our systems manually."
"AWS provides Auto Scaling groups."
"Has a variety of automation options."
"Systems Manager has a feature where it analyzes the logs and gives us a performance overview in the form of a graph. We know when it's taking up more resources and when there are spikes, so we can predict the usability."
"When we do the automation in the cloud, we use the SSM agent. This helps us to test our automation and documents, and monitor the cloud."
"The solution's ability to scale is good."
"Its ticketing is pretty good."
"Sometimes, updating a client policy is very difficult. This needs to be improved."
"Microsoft needs to enhance device-level security, as sometimes when using Microsoft Intune, the device's operating system becomes stuck and requires a full uninstall to remove the Intune bug."
"Intune should be much more granular in terms of supporting more Android cellular devices."
"The installation could be improved to be simplified."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in integrating additional features such as Purview and SharePoint activities into Intune."
"We faced issues with macOS support. The product should have better inventory and asset management."
"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."
"The fact that AWS Systems Manager takes time to complete the patching process, makes it an area where improvements are required."
"Lacks sufficient integrations."
"Additional features can be added as per customer requirements."
"We formerly used third-party products to analyze the log, give us information, and find bottlenecks. Systems Manager could provide more tools that conduct this analysis, so we don't have to do it ourselves."
"The current challenge is that we can't pull any incidents from other accounts."
"The AWS UIs are not the most intuitive. Also, the usability needs room for improvement."
"AWS does not have EKS cluster backup."
"I have heard feedback that the imaging is slow. It takes somewhere around an hour to image one PC."
