We performed a comparison between AWS Config 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."At the moment, Autopilot is the most valuable feature."
"The standout features of Intune are its excellent mobile device management and highly effective application management capabilities."
"Autopilot is a great feature. Most users are looking for a zero-touch deployment."
"It provides control over all mobile devices that are being connected to the corporate network."
"It supports end-users who tend to lock their devices quite frequently. Its conditional access policy helps us keep the users logged into their devices."
"The stability is good."
"The biggest benefits of Intune are the ability to push changes and the added security. When we moved forward with Defender, we onboarded all those machines automatically. That helps dramatically. For a while, we were left with machines that weren't protected. We could see where people had done things they shouldn't have done, and Defender saved our skins a few times. It didn't happen a lot, but it happened enough that it made us glad we made that decision."
"The most valuable feature is the policy CSPs."
"The solution is scalable and provides over 100 rules."
"The initial setup is super easy, it takes like two minutes. Literally a one-click deployment."
"Installing the instances and performing upgrades is smooth and clean."
"Patch management is, for sure, most valuable. For license management and patch management, I would rate it a 10 out of 10."
"The product's most valuable feature is its ability to process patching and updates completely offline without an internet connection."
"Satellite gives administrators the ability to target deployments and only send out the updates or provision updates to certain groups."
"The 'remote execution' feature further helps manage systems on a consistent basis."
"The most valuable features of Red Hat Satellite are its support, simplicity, and patch management."
"Previously, we were using one server to update from a different repository over the HTTP. We had to manually manage the updates on the repository server. Satellite made the process easier."
"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."
"It cuts down significantly on the administrative time it takes to patch systems in a large environment."
"The scalability could be improved, and like most other MDM products, Intune is good but not 100% there yet."
"For an existing customer who has an SCCM, it would need to be upgraded to an MECM first before I can introduce Microsoft Intune."
"The installation is very easy. However, to be able to configure it you will need special knowledge, such as training or self-studies to have a proper level of security. There are many settings one has to understand before being able to implement Microsoft Intune."
"There can be delays in the deployment of new policies."
"Reporting and troubleshooting for the application deployment could be better. It's very difficult to understand."
"The solution could improve by having better integration with Apple."
"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."
"There is improvement needed in integrating with the installed Office solutions versions, such as Office 2019. The Office 365 integrates without a problem."
"There is room for improvement in built-in tools, they are not up to the mark."
"The reboot process for AWS instances could be improved. Microsoft Azure does not have this problem, so AWS could consider making their instances more robust. You would not need to reboot your instances frequently to replace the hardware and stuff. They can look for a better approach or mechanism to improve in the future. The concern is that you need to plan for the outage when you reboot an instance. You need to have a maintenance window where you can properly reboot the instance without affecting your application. When Amazon announces that you need to reboot an instance and are not ready, this becomes a problem."
"The solution is missing a configuration that can assist us when writing our programming languages."
"It has not been significantly updated in a while."
"It wasn't easy in the beginning, and some effort was required to work it out. I already had the product documentation, but it was not well organized. It wasn't easy to follow. There were a lot of documents here and there."
"Red Hat Satellite has a short life cycle and we constantly need to update."
"The product's automation capabilities need enhancement."
"Improving integration could lead to a more unified management experience for multiple operating systems within our data center."
"Red Hat Satellite's pricing needs improvement."
"The solution's initial setup is a little bit tricky."
"The documentation could be better."
