We performed a comparison between AWS CloudFormation 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."The most valuable feature is the UEM capabilities."
"I would say the biggest benefit is the single-pane view. There's no jumping around multiple UI's to do your overall management."
"It is a helpful tool to manage BYOD policies."
"It is a very stable and scalable cloud-only solution."
"It's normally able to meet 100% expectations of our customers."
"In terms of technical support, you will get an immediate response."
"If the product works, remote access will be a benefit. To this point we have not had reason to have confidence in achieving that access."
"A valuable feature is user enrollment, where users can enroll their devices in their organizations themselves."
"The most valuable feature of AWS CloudFormation is the simple tracking of infrastructure."
"With CloudFormation, there is no need to use complicated coding."
"The most valuable features of AWS CloudFormation are all the resources documentation is located in one location, simple resource reverting, and ease of use of the full package for new users."
"It is easy to work from the console and deploy new database services."
"Scripting does what we need to reinstall something from scratch."
"CloudFormation gives us control of AWS and any Cloud infrastructure. It creates the whole stack for Cloud services technologies so it's easy to manage the whole system."
"What I like best about AWS CloudFormation is that it is a quick and simple way to deploy various applications, like WordPress."
"What I found most valuable in AWS CloudFormation is its configurability. The solution is easy to configure. I also like its change management configuration because that's also good."
"Spring Cloud integrates well."
"The solution's initial setup is straightforward. The deployment process took me around ten minutes to fifteen minutes."
"It offers excellent scalability."
"What would make this product better is adding more security policies and features in the next upgrade."
"I know that their AI pieces are at the infancy stage, but allowing users to do more tagging for information would be an interesting thing because Intune also directly integrates with Azure. Because a lot of the devices are hosted with that, you also get a lot of tagging of user data and other things like that."
"Intune should be much more granular in terms of supporting more Android cellular devices."
"We only have major classifications for iOS and Android, but there are different brands that have different cycles of updates. If they can fine-tune it to make it more brand-specific, that would be even better."
"It needs incorporation of Knox, ZeroTouch, etc."
"The security features should be improved."
"It would be better if I could integrate it with my core group policy. I would like to have a group policy in my current environment, which has strict control, but those things are still missing. Although it has maximum compliance and security, it's not available on-premise."
"Areas for improvement in Intune include expanding support beyond Samsung devices to accommodate other Android manufacturers like Redmi and Motorola."
"The solution needs to offer better support to other cloud vendors."
"As soon as they manage to parametrize the whole thing and to implement parameters at all levels, it will become automatically a lot more flexible."
"If you are a developer or a more technical person, it's very difficult to learn the complete syntax or because CloudFormation includes a new way to write infrastructure code."
"Provisioning a large environment or a large number of services takes a bit more time than with Terraform."
"AWS CloudFormation allows you to use the code templates written in JSON and YAML, but not directly in Python. Adding this feature would be beneficial."
"One area where AWS CloudFormation could improve is by offering more flexibility in creating custom templates."
"Including certain examples of templates would be advantageous."
"Error-handling features can be improved."
"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."
"If there's a dashboard like the ones provided by Apigee or Kong, that will be useful."
