We performed a comparison between HashiCorp Terraform and OpenText ZENworks Configuration Management 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."Application deployment and keeping the devices secure no matter where they are, by having this cloud solution — that has been great."
"While I don't think you can ever have full visibility and control, Intune certainly allows us to see the applications being used and tells us if things like Windows patches aren't applied to machines. It does a good job. That visibility makes life a little easier."
"The most valuable includes managing everything from a single console."
"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."
"Intune is effective because of the configuration management and endpoint security it provides. The graphical interface makes it easier to configure and deploy devices."
"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."
"I believe that the solution is actually in Gartner's top quadrant at the moment for mobile device management."
"The ability to block and erase remote devices is valuable to us, especially when those devices are lost."
"The feature "Terraform Plan" is the most valuable in HashiCorp Terraform as it allows us to see the differences between the current infrastructure and the one we are about to deploy, keeping things safe. Additionally, we appreciate the use of the modules as it helps in making the application scalable."
"The most valuable feature is the great community support."
"With Terraform, you don't need to understand the console of your cloud providers. You only need to understand how Terraform works, and you manage your infrastructure tools in Terraform."
"The most valuable features of HashiCorp Terraform are automation and management capabilities."
"The most valuable feature is the support for different platforms like cloud, datacenters, VCS, databases, various storage types, and Kubernetes."
"The most valuable feature of HashiCorp Terraform is the custom modules."
"It's very easy to automate functions on the cloud with HashiCorp Terraform. The commands are easy as well."
"It allows for the abstraction of the work away from the developer into automated processes."
"Helps me perform changes in connected infrastructure thanks to the discovery features."
"The most valuable feature is the impact analysis."
"Areas for improvement in Intune include expanding support beyond Samsung devices to accommodate other Android manufacturers like Redmi and Motorola."
"There should be more support for macOS. Even though macOS is supported by Intune and Microsoft is working very hard to get more features into Intune to manage macOS, that's one thing they can give a lot more attention to."
"I'd like some more reporting so that I don't have to delve into PowerShell and I can pull more of the local device information such as memory, apps installed, etc. It would be nice to be able to see the apps that are present there but might not be managed. For example, if they installed 7Zip, it could report that back via an installed program or feature to see what was currently installed."
"The Mac integration has room for improvement."
"Intune has some limitations when it comes to application updates for third-party applications. You can schedule an update, but when it's a package setup, you need to supercede and replace it each time."
"China blocks Google and Google Play Store, which makes installation challenging. Microsoft Intune is a company software, which has to be installed to the app portal or Microsoft Software Center."
"When somebody has a customized application or their own company's application, we cannot deploy that application."
"The UI is not user-friendly and has room for improvement."
"There is always room for improvement somewhere. I don't know everything about the product."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"Terraform lacks in running script."
"They should include tutorials for understanding the use cases."
"I would want to see more programmatic capabilities implemented, such as if, else, and simple to manage things in terms of how I can use some programming functions to assist us to achieve more. I would like to have programming language-relevant features, to have programming language be the primary way."
"Lacks flexibility in common programming languages."
"The product must improve DevOps features."
"The integration with this solution needs to be improved."
"The native UI should be simplified because it is outdated and a little bit over-complicated."
