We performed a comparison between HashiCorp Terraform 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."Intune enables us to manage our devices from anywhere."
"We have found the solution is capable of scaling."
"We already use a lot of Microsoft products in our company, and therefore, it made sense to also use this product."
"Being able to manage the devices remotely is most valuable. We can push security requirements through Microsoft Intune."
"The technical support of Microsoft Intune is good."
"Intune provides full visibility into all active mobile device users. If their devices are noncompliant with our security policies, I have the flexibility to update them remotely."
"The mobile application management, MAM, is the most useful aspect of the solution."
"I like the fact that it's integrated with the rest of the Microsoft products, so customers can manage it from their Office 365 portal or Azure portal."
"It is easy to recreate an exact duplicate or output of an environment."
"It is one of the best things because now we have everything automated with Terraform. We didn't have an outage for the last three years because everything is written in a code, and every change we have made is recorded. If we didn't have a tool like Terraform, it would be extremely complex to achieve this level of maturity with infrastructure."
"HashiCorp Terraform is highly stable."
"The most valuable feature is the solution does not need installation."
"It is a stable solution."
"The solution helps us save a lot of costs."
"We save a lot of time with this solution."
"The most valuable features of HashiCorp Terraform are automation and management capabilities."
"The compliance auditing helped me a lot."
"Satellite gives administrators the ability to target deployments and only send out the updates or provision updates to certain groups."
"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 features of Red Hat Satellite are its support, simplicity, and patch management."
"The product helps me to manage a large number of servers from one console."
"The product's most valuable feature is its ability to process patching and updates completely offline without an internet connection."
"The product is convenient to use."
"Technical support has been good."
"It's the granularity: 'Is your firewall on? Is BitLocker on?' It's not amazing granularity. But I've looked into other products, like Duo, and they're all similar."
"Sometimes, customers compare it with AirWatch, but the concept of Intune is different from other solutions. It's an application management app. It gets a bit difficult to explain it to customers, but it's not a product limitation. It takes a presale document or presentation to explain it to customers."
"The reporting and cost have room for improvement."
"There are a lot of small use cases where we realized that some technical solution was missing in Microsoft in comparison to other products. For example, it lacks something similar to sensing or location-based rules and configurations."
"The reporting could be improved, as it's pretty poor compared to other products of this type."
"Intune does not provide real-time visibility."
"Lacking ability to leverage more iOS device management internally."
"It would be great if Intune offered better data protection controls for BYOD Windows PCs."
"Terraform could create more examples in the documentation."
"The syntax is a bit difficult, and it would great if it could be easier."
"The price of the solution could improve."
"Community tech support could be a little better."
"The product must improve DevOps features."
"Automation is needed to import everything at once from a manual environment or by a specific resource group."
"On occasion, I have noticed a number of bugs in this solution that have needed to be fixed."
"Lacks flexibility in common programming languages."
"Improving integration could lead to a more unified management experience for multiple operating systems within our data center."
"Red Hat Satellite has a short life cycle and we constantly need to update."
"Regarding the product's ability to support third-party tools, Red Hat doesn't support all the layers from the open-source version of Linux."
"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 could have more diversity in what it is able to deploy and might do better if it was not dedicated to Red Hat products only."
"The documentation could be better."
"Automation can always be improved and refined to continue to make it better."
"There could be a feature to simplify the process without the requirement of any patch manager subscription."
