We performed a comparison between HashiCorp Terraform 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."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."
"Stable product that's easy to set up compared to other MDM products."
"Agile and easy to deploy MDM solution that covers the maximum number of policies. Stable, scalable, and with knowledgeable technical support."
"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."
"The stability is good."
"We are a remote company, and the product helps us manage the global endpoints. It helps us natively manage the endpoints in the cloud from anywhere."
"The ability to wipe data from and reset devices is one of the most important and valuable features. If a device is reported stolen, we can freeze it or wipe the data from it, preventing data leakage."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is having all our devices compliant with our policies."
"The first thing I like about the solution is that it keeps a version of your infrastructure."
"This solution makes it easier to manage a multi-cloud environment and have your entire infrastructure as code."
"Can be used across multiple cloud providers and multiple platforms."
"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."
"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 ARM template is very easy to work with, which is a big help to us."
"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."
"It is a stable solution."
"SUSE Manager helps to optimize operations at a reduced cost."
"SUSE Manager is the best solution for maintaining the Linux environment"
"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."
"The setup is straightforward."
"Some enrollment features could be improved."
"In terms of what can be improved, I am looking for better enhancements regarding Apple management, not only on the mobile device, but also on the laptop."
"I would like the ability to install the agent on devices from suppliers, which would enable us to implement a zero-trust strategy for guest devices."
"Intune could add more Linux security features and more integration with on-prem devices. The application deployments can also be improved."
"I would like to see easier pushdowns. Currently, we have to package our own software and then push it. Intune can make that way easier and integrate applications, such as Zoom and Adobe Acrobat, that are used by a lot of enterprise or corporate organizations."
"It should be easier to define policies and comply with those policies."
"The pricing could be improved."
"There should be more focus on mobile device security and integration."
"Automation is needed to import everything at once from a manual environment or by a specific resource group."
"They should include tutorials for understanding the use cases."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"I would like to see a short-term option for a short-term plan."
"The product can integrate and utilize more services from different competitors. Currently, their commands are quite similar to Kubernetes, which we use in our CI/CD pipeline. Also, they should consider incorporating Windows command line, like PowerShell."
"There is always room for improvement somewhere. I don't know everything about the product."
"Terraform doesn't support Artifactory as a backend."
"The integration with this solution needs to be improved."
"I really would like to have a broader library of VCP's or playbooks that I can deploy."
"It can be complex and difficult for users who are new to Linux and don't have any technical expertise."
"We sometimes have server issues and need to restart the service."
"The initial stage is a bit complex, but after that, everything runs seamlessly."
