We performed a comparison between AWS CloudFormation and Spring Cloud 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 is very easy to use. It has a very easy interface."
"The dashboards, the security, and the customization capabilities work very well for us."
"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 appears to be stable and scalable."
"Compliance and the policies that can be set are the most valuable features."
"The product has eased the deployment of Microsoft apps to the devices. We can manage it properly. We can control it and push the updates. Another company helped us with the deployment. However, we can do it internally."
"I can see that the patch management process is much improved with the bundled patch management option available in Microsoft Intune compared to the KPI deployment required by the other deployment solutions."
"The performance of Microsoft Intune is good."
"Automations make it pretty easy to provision AWS, development, or deployment environments."
"With CloudFormation, there is no need to use complicated coding."
"It is easy to work from the console and deploy new database services."
"The CloudFormation template can be reused to create multiple stacks, reducing duplications and improving our infrastructure."
"The reusability of the solution is valuable."
"The most beneficial aspect lies in its capability to handle input acquisition and assessment."
"The most valuable feature of AWS CloudFormation is the simple tracking of infrastructure."
"The most valuable features of AWS CloudFormation are all the resources documentation is located in one location, simple resource reverting, and ease of use of the full package for new users."
"The solution's initial setup is straightforward. The deployment process took me around ten minutes to fifteen minutes."
"Spring Cloud integrates well."
"It offers excellent scalability."
"An issue we have run into with Microsoft Endpoint Manager is that we cannot patch third-party products like Adobe and Chrome with it."
"The reports aren't complete, and it's not easy to build custom reports. For example, Windows Autopilot isn't working well in cases where the computers don't have a good internet connection. Then the option is not good enough."
"We only have major classifications for iOS and Android, but there are different brands that have different cycles of updates. If they can fine-tune it to make it more brand-specific, that would be even better."
"When somebody has a customized application or their own company's application, we cannot deploy that application."
"Microsoft Intune's support for Mac devices is lacking and could be improved."
"There is room for improvement in integrating additional features such as Purview and SharePoint activities into Intune."
"An area for improvement is the absence of seamless integration, particularly with external dashboards."
"I know that their AI pieces are at the infancy stage, but allowing users to do more tagging for information would be an interesting thing because Intune also directly integrates with Azure. Because a lot of the devices are hosted with that, you also get a lot of tagging of user data and other things like that."
"This tool is not intuitive and there are others that are easier to understand."
"What could be improved in AWS CloudFormation is its user interface, in terms of graphical design, I prefer WYSIWYG."
"The product should be made cloud-agnostic, allowing users to deploy the same environment with minimal tweaks across different cloud platforms, similar to Terraform. Additionally, it would be beneficial to have the ability to manage templates outside of the AWS environment."
"There could be better error handling. It would be a good way to improve the solution."
"It would help all users if AWS improved the auto-generation of the CloudFormation file."
"Including certain examples of templates would be advantageous."
"There is less support for on-premise environments."
"As soon as they manage to parametrize the whole thing and to implement parameters at all levels, it will become automatically a lot more flexible."
"Stability is one area in the solution that needs to improve."
"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."
