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."One of the main features of the solution is it allows the management of many devices in different ways."
"The solution appears to be stable and scalable."
"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."
"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."
"I can reach devices or computers over the internet. I don't need to worry about the network connectivity between the offices. I can manage any device. That is the most important part."
"Its protection policies are most valuable. It protects mobile devices as well as individual apps. It is pretty scalable, and its documentation is also pretty good. It is also pretty straightforward to deploy."
"The ability to block and erase remote devices is valuable to us, especially when those devices are lost."
"The performance of Microsoft Intune is good."
"The product's most valuable feature is its ability to process patching and updates completely offline without an internet connection."
"The product allows us to handle patching for multiple servers at a time manually."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is vulnerability management."
"The compliance auditing helped me a lot."
"Technical support has been good."
"It cuts down significantly on the administrative time it takes to patch systems in a large environment."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that you don't have to expose your mission-critical environment to the Internet. With the Satellite system in place, it acts as a barrier between your Red Hat infrastructure and the public Internet."
"Reporting and troubleshooting for the application deployment could be better. It's very difficult to understand."
"There is room for improvement, particularly in terms of compatibility, extending beyond the well-known major brands."
"The synchronization could be improved."
"Sometimes, updating a client policy is very difficult. This needs to be improved."
"Microsoft Intune fails a lot when it comes to device compliance."
"Lacking ability to leverage more iOS device management internally."
"The solution can have some compliance problems in general and the end-point user can bypass easily the company policies in Intune."
"The backend of Microsoft Intune needs to be improved. We have seen a little bit of delay as compared to other MDM solutions. That needs to be improved. A little bit more granularity should also be added"
"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."
"It has not been significantly updated in a while."
"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive. The licensing is a bit expensive."
"They could make it more easy to use and improve the GUI so that it's more intuitive."
"Automation can always be improved and refined to continue to make it better."
"Red Hat Satellite has a short life cycle and we constantly need to update."
"The documentation could be better."
