We performed a comparison between Red Hat Satellite and SUSE Manager 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."It's not working perfectly, but Microsoft's Autopilot offers great visibility into automated deployment solutions."
"Fortunately, now everything is streamlined into a single, unified platform."
"The solution is easy to use and it has good performance."
"Application deployment and keeping the devices secure no matter where they are, by having this cloud solution — that has been great."
"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 is quite policy-enabled, so you can build pretty much any policy to manage remote endpoints."
"The most valuable feature is the policy CSPs."
"Intune provides full endpoint visibility and IT control across device platforms. You can individualize it for your company with the Intune Company Portal app."
"The most valuable feature is the management of the distributed tool we use in the Red Hat Linux Servers."
"The product's most valuable feature is its ability to process patching and updates completely offline without an internet connection."
"It has been a stable solution...It is a totally scalable solution."
"It cuts down significantly on the administrative time it takes to patch systems in a large environment."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that you don't have to expose your mission-critical environment to the Internet. With the Satellite system in place, it acts as a barrier between your Red Hat infrastructure and the public Internet."
"The product is convenient to use."
"We've been getting reasonable support from Red Hat."
"Previously, we were using one server to update from a different repository over the HTTP. We had to manually manage the updates on the repository server. Satellite made the process easier."
"When it comes to managing both Red Hat and SUSE environments, it provides the support for live patching, which is something I really, really appreciate."
"SUSE Manager is the best solution for maintaining the Linux environment"
"SUSE Manager helps to optimize operations at a reduced cost."
"The setup is straightforward."
"Once it's configured it is unobtrusive, but it does take some hands-on to configure and deploy it properly."
"The reporting is subpar. That's the only issue we have with Intune. We use another solution for that purpose."
"I would like to see micro VPN. I like the way that some of the other providers have done something similar where, as you open that app on an end-point device, it creates a micro VPN straight into your device, which is quite a nice little feature. Also, Microsoft Intune relies heavily on its fellow products in the suite. It would be nice if Microsoft Intune could stand on its own two feet."
"One area for improvement is app deployment. Another is the Windows update rollout. If you're rolling out an object to a device that's offline, Intune stops trying to reach this device after it sits idle for a bit. We are forced to find a workaround that could help manage that."
"The initial setup is a little bit complex."
"I think there should be a better tracking of the cell phones used on the Intune."
"Deploying an app can be a complex process due to dependencies."
"We would like to see support for Chrome and/or devices for Chromebooks."
"They could make it more easy to use and improve the GUI so that it's more intuitive."
"The documentation could be better."
"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 should basically include a complete slew of system management and monitoring tools such as Nagios. It should be a single pane of glass that gives us a complete solution. It is a good solution, but it is missing a few important things. We're using Capsule for DMVs on other secured zones. Capsule is a part of Satellite to be a proxy of sorts."
"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."
"It is difficult to update and maintain."
"The dashboard of Satellite is not encouraging. It does not adequately showcase all the functionality it offers."
"There needs to be some margin for improvement in terms of the way Satellite manages subscriptions. It is still very confusing when we have different contracts or different bundles of subscriptions, and we need to manage those within Satellite in a way that's very user-friendly."
"We sometimes have server issues and need to restart the service."
"The initial stage is a bit complex, but after that, everything runs seamlessly."
"It can be complex and difficult for users who are new to Linux and don't have any technical expertise."
"I really would like to have a broader library of VCP's or playbooks that I can deploy."
