We performed a comparison between Microsoft Intune and Red Hat Satellite 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."We are using the mobile feature, and we are also using MDM to lock the devices, to push restrictions, et cetera"
"I would say the biggest benefit is the single-pane view. There's no jumping around multiple UI's to do your overall management."
"We use a local Active Directory, but we weren't able to manage all our on-site systems without a solution like Intune, and we needed to deploy software like VPNs and other things. It's seamless now to to this through Intune."
"We have found the solution is capable of scaling."
"The ability to block and erase remote devices is valuable to us, especially when those devices are lost."
"Internet-based access with security is what I have found to be most valuable. It is also a stable and scalable solution."
"The conditional access policies that we set up are very useful."
"For Windows services, there are multiple options within Intune to modernize it to be more internet-facing and dynamic."
"The product allows us to handle patching for multiple servers at a time manually."
"The 'remote execution' feature further helps manage systems on a consistent basis."
"It plays a significant role in managing the lifecycle of our systems and ensures that we can effectively control and update the software versions to align with our organization's needs."
"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."
"It cuts down significantly on the administrative time it takes to patch systems in a large environment."
"Technical support has been good."
"I like the integration with other tools."
"Fixing is the most valuable. When you deal with a lot of hardware and software and you have a lot of packages, fixing is a bit difficult. You need to track and pull up all such things, but Satellite makes this task easy. We have branches in other locations, and I can manage other branches by using Satellite Capsule, which is a great feature."
"We faced issues with macOS support. The product should have better inventory and asset management."
"The reporting needs to be a bit more interactive."
"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."
"An area for improvement is the absence of seamless integration, particularly with external dashboards."
"I'm still playing around with it and haven't had any issues with the product yet, but support can definitely be improved."
"There can be more logs. I do not have any other requirements."
"The add-ons must be integrated into the solution."
"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."
"The documentation could be better."
"The product's automation capabilities need enhancement."
"I would like the direct integration with insights to be re-established."
"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."
"It is difficult to update and maintain."
"Red Hat Satellite has a short life cycle and we constantly need to update."
"It has not been significantly updated in a while."
"Satellite should be bundled with Ansible Tower and the Ansible Automation platform. We face challenges from a security perspective because we have micro-segmentation in our network. For each server we provision, we have to set permissions to different ports so that the servers can communicate with Satellite. If I have a single server with Satellite and the Ansible Automation Platform, it would be easier to manage security issues instead of having two or three products on various servers."
