We performed a comparison between Red Hat Satellite and SUSE Manager 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 device restriction policies enable me to enforce limitations on the device, like blocking the mobile camera or restricting the employees from using and inserting USB devices, including thumb drives and flash drives."
"For Windows services, there are multiple options within Intune to modernize it to be more internet-facing and dynamic."
"Internet-based access with security is what I have found to be most valuable. It is also a stable and scalable solution."
"The solution is easy to use, simple to understand for those new to using it, and combined with the other Microsoft products it makes for an overall good package."
"It is a very helpful solution."
"Its direct integration with all the other products that we have from Microsoft is valuable. We're using the E5 license, and we have a whole wealth of different products available. It just makes it easier to have everything from one provider."
"This product offers an alternative solution to other UEM (Unified Endpoint Management) solutions."
"Stable product that's easy to set up compared to other MDM products."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is vulnerability management."
"The product helps me to manage a large number of servers from one console."
"The product allows us to handle patching for multiple servers at a time manually."
"The most valuable feature is the management of the distributed tool we use in the Red Hat Linux Servers."
"The 'remote execution' feature further helps manage systems on a consistent basis."
"The product is convenient to use."
"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."
"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."
"When it comes to managing both Red Hat and SUSE environments, it provides the support for live patching, which is something I really, really appreciate."
"SUSE Manager is the best solution for maintaining the Linux environment"
"The setup is straightforward."
"SUSE Manager helps to optimize operations at a reduced cost."
"The initial setup is a little bit complex."
"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 solution could improve by having better integration with Apple."
"Additional application deployment options e.g. MSI deployment with more complex parameters or additional side-by-side files, and non-MSI deployment options."
"There is still a gap between SCCM and Intune, especially in the reporting, inventory, and software deployment areas."
"Microsoft Intune lacks the ability to provide seamless remote assistance or remote control."
"The product needs to upgrade itself when the server is overloaded."
"A new Intune feature allows application packaging, but it incurs additional licensing costs for a significant number of applications."
"It has not been significantly updated in a while."
"Red Hat Satellite has a short life cycle and we constantly need to update."
"The solution's initial setup is a little bit tricky."
"Improving integration could lead to a more unified management experience for multiple operating systems within our data center."
"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."
"They could make it more easy to use and improve the GUI so that it's more intuitive."
"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."
"I would like the direct integration with insights to be re-established."
"The initial stage is a bit complex, but after that, everything runs seamlessly."
"I really would like to have a broader library of VCP's or playbooks that I can deploy."
"It can be complex and difficult for users who are new to Linux and don't have any technical expertise."
"We sometimes have server issues and need to restart the service."
