We performed a comparison between Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 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."Intune enables us to manage our devices from anywhere."
"Its security is most valuable. It gives us a way to secure devices, not only those that are steady. We do have a few tablets and other devices, and it is a way for us to secure these devices and manage them. We know they're out there and what's their status. We can manage their life cycle and verify that they're updated properly."
"It's very informative when there is an error. It allows us to backtrace where the error is and resolve that ourselves. It's a bit of a Swiss Army penknife. We find that it fixes most issues."
"I like that we can implement conditional access."
"It provides control over all mobile devices that are being connected to the corporate network."
"There are so many features, but Windows Autopilot is one of the features that are very valuable for most customers."
"The most valuable feature is probably mobile device management. Small businesses are coming under greater scrutiny and requirements for compliance as time goes on. We don't have to worry about a VPN because we can manage these devices, control company data, and lock users out. If needed, we can remotely wipe devices and deadman-switch them."
"A great solution for anyone wanting a modern endpoint device management solution."
"I like the fact that Ansible is agentless."
"The solution can scale."
"Some colleagues and other companies use it and comment that it is easy to use, easy to understand, and offers good features."
"Since it is in YAML, if I have to explain it to somebody else, they can easily understand it."
"Role-based access control and agentless architecture are the main features which may attract users."
"The automation is the most valuable feature."
"Ansible provides great reliability when coupled with a versioning system (git). It helps providing predictability to the network by knowing exactly what's being pushed after validating it in production."
"The solution is capable of integrating with many applications and devices in comparison to BigFix."
"Spring Cloud integrates well."
"It offers excellent scalability."
"The solution's initial setup is straightforward. The deployment process took me around ten minutes to fifteen minutes."
"Regarding mobile devices, Intune is good, but there are other services that I would say are ahead of Intune from an administration and reporting point of view."
"There is no catalog for mobile access management (MAM) security."
"There are a few security features that are not available in Microsoft Intune, when compared to other products."
"There's quite a lot of development that they can do within their Intune dashboard. I think there are too many lines hyperlinked to move you around. Others, in contrast, give you a simple dashboard and an intuitive administrative walkthrough."
"Enhancements for managing MacOS more comprehensively would be beneficial."
"The installation could be improved to be simplified."
"There could be more wizard-driven policy development or creation. Some of the policies can get quite complex. If they have a wizard that assists the administrators in creating the policy, that will be a great job."
"They should make it easier to order it, however, that's generally true for everything from Microsoft."
"The governance features could be improved."
"What I would like to see is a refined Dashboard to see, when I log in: Here are all my jobs, here are how many times they've executed; some kind graphical stitching-together of the workflows and jobs, and how they're connected. Also, those "failed hosts," what does that mean? We have a problem, a failed host can be anything. Is SSH the reason it failed? Is the job template why it failed? It doesn't really distinguish that."
"They should think of this product as an end-to-end solution and begin to develop it that way."
"Documentation could be improved. Many times, if I'm looking for something, I have to Google it in a lot of places, then figure out what the best approach will be. There are some best practices documents, but they don't give you the information."
"The solution must be made easier to configure."
"Ansible could use more public relations and marketing."
"For Ansible Tower, there are three tiers with ten nodes. I would like them to expand those ten nodes to 20, because ten nodes is not enough to test on."
"For a couple of the API integrations, there has been a lack of documentation."
"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."
"Stability is one area in the solution that needs to improve."
