We performed a comparison between HashiCorp Terraform 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."There are so many features, but Windows Autopilot is one of the features that are very valuable for most customers."
"With on-premises Active Directory, the main challenge was that we had no control when a user was working from home. We didn't know what exactly a user was doing and whether the AV was up to date or not. Intune provides better control of their machines."
"I would say the biggest benefit is the single-pane view. There's no jumping around multiple UI's to do your overall management."
"This product offers an alternative solution to other UEM (Unified Endpoint Management) solutions."
"The standout features of Intune are its excellent mobile device management and highly effective application management capabilities."
"It's really easy to access."
"The policy and compliance monitoring of devices and the software deployment are most valuable."
"Intune provides full endpoint visibility and IT control across device platforms. You can individualize it for your company with the Intune Company Portal app."
"HashiCorp Terraform is highly stable."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its simplicity of SQL language, its compatibility with multiple cloud providers, and its modules like the open source modules available, especially considering the fact that I work mainly on AWS."
"The most valuable feature of Terraform is the ability to use it as a coding language because it works in a way that's similar to other coding languages."
"The first thing I like about the solution is that it keeps a version of your infrastructure."
"It allows for the abstraction of the work away from the developer into automated processes."
"It is a stable solution."
"I like the function that shows me a preview of what is happening in the infrastructure."
"The most valuable features of HashiCorp Terraform are automation and management capabilities."
"It offers excellent scalability."
"Spring Cloud integrates well."
"The solution's initial setup is straightforward. The deployment process took me around ten minutes to fifteen minutes."
"There are some issues using the solution with macOS and iOS, and it offers limited granular control with them. Intune works better on Windows and Android."
"Due to the abundance of features, there's a lot to organize, which makes managing and setting up the solution challenging. The setup is immense, and it would be good to see improvement in this area."
"Microsoft Intune has a latency response time issue. The latency has room for improvement."
"I would like some integration with the Microsoft reporting platform Power BI."
"Intune should be much more granular in terms of supporting more Android cellular devices."
"The reports that are generated aren't so great. They don't give a lot of meaning so far, but that could be down to user knowledge than the actual reporting side of things. I'm not a big user of it, but I was a bigger user of MaaS360, and we used to be able to run weekly and monthly reports. In the case of any deviations. we'd get a warning immediately. That's not so easy to do or to get in place for Intune. This could be just a user issue, but when I compare both, that's the only thing that's lacking for me."
"In the past, I raised some tickets for the enhancement feature, which was missing in Intune."
"Could benefit from user having more control over devices."
"HashiCorp Terraform could improve the integration with the VCloud Director. When we manage the VCloud Director we end up wasting our time when creating virtual machines. HashiCorp Terraform knows about these issues and I think there might be a workaround but they should incorporate the fix in an upcoming release."
"On occasion, I have noticed a number of bugs in this solution that have needed to be fixed."
"I would like to see a short-term option for a short-term plan."
"The state locking functionality can be improved. In certain situations, we have to force-unlock the state, which sometimes does not work. When that happens, we have to manually go to the state backend and remove that particular state, which is kind of a cumbersome process. It should also have more functions, more expressions, and support for more products."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"This solution could be improved by adding features such as CDM to accelerate the access of data by the users."
"Terraform could create more examples in the documentation."
"The user interface could be easier for non-technical people."
"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."
"If there's a dashboard like the ones provided by Apigee or Kong, that will be useful."
