"Configuration profiles, remediation, scripts, and auto-pilot features are very good."
"For our office workers who are not based in Norway, when we order the PC, we can do some of the settings for them. These are standardized settings. We can set them up exactly as they are in Norway so that they're the same."
"The conditional access policies that we set up are very useful."
"The solution is stable."
"One of the biggest advantages of Microsoft Intune is that it brings the management of Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and even Linux under a single pane of glass."
"For Windows services, there are multiple options within Intune to modernize it to be more internet-facing and dynamic."
"The biggest thing for us is enforcing logins only from devices that are managed by Intune."
"Puppet Enterprise has good functionalities."
"The versatility is great."
"Puppet Enterprise has reduced the time of production changes or environment changes."
"Puppet Enterprise is a stable solution."
"Anything that we manage through Puppet always runs perfectly."
"Puppet3 and 4 series provides optimum deployment solutions for infrastructure and applications."
"The most valuable features are the agent, high load balancing, and overall robustness and features."
"The main purpose for this automation tool would be: deploying, controlling, ordering change for the system and IT Infrastructure."
"You don't need to depend on any third party. It's a complete solution for patch and configuration management when integrated with the existing system."
"We've been getting reasonable support from Red Hat."
"It has been a stable solution...It is a totally scalable solution."
"The product allows us to handle patching for multiple servers at a time manually."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is vulnerability management."
"Patch management is, for sure, most valuable. For license management and patch management, I would rate it a 10 out of 10."
"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."
"It cuts down significantly on the administrative time it takes to patch systems in a large environment."
"There is room for improvement in integration and security as well."
"For an existing customer who has an SCCM, it would need to be upgraded to an MECM first before I can introduce Microsoft Intune."
"There needs to be more support for Mac operating systems."
"It should be easier to define policies and comply with those policies."
"An area for improvement is the absence of seamless integration, particularly with external dashboards."
"It would help if administrators could pinpoint the exact location of a stolen device to help law enforcement retrieve it and apprehend the suspect."
"Microsoft Intune fails a lot when it comes to device compliance."
"They need to add more group policies. Intune currently does not have many group policies that you can deploy. Its reporting, which is very limited at the moment, also needs improvement. It will be great if they can add report customization. Its stability needs to be improved. Sometimes, when you register a device in Intune, it doesn't show up instantly on the engine portal on the admin side. They need to provide better support for complicated issues. They also have a long turnaround time."
"At the beginning the initial setup was kind of complex."
"It's a bit of a pain point to make sure that everything works once we've upgraded it because Puppet has been evolving pretty fast."
"We would like Puppet to add more integration for applications."
"Puppet Enterprise should improve the general extensibility for places where they can't install it."
"The solution has really complex code, you have to understand the Ruby language. However, once you know the code then you can move ahead without any problems."
"Puppet Enterprise is more complex and difficult to configure."
"There's a lot of scope for enhancement on the DevSecOps side. They should definitely include features for compliance, for both the Linux and Windows side of the devices, as well as for network devices. Compliance is something they need to work on."
"There could be a feature to simplify the process without the requirement of any patch manager subscription."
"It has not been significantly updated in a while."
"The solution's initial setup is a little bit tricky."
"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive. The licensing is a bit expensive."
"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."
"The product's automation capabilities need enhancement."
"The documentation could be better."
"Red Hat Satellite's pricing needs improvement."
