We performed a comparison between AWS Systems Manager 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."We use a local Active Directory, but we weren't able to manage all our on-site systems without a solution like Intune, and we needed to deploy software like VPNs and other things. It's seamless now to to this through Intune."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is having all our devices compliant with our policies."
"The most valuable features are the ones that make sure that the deployment is of a standard operating system and the Zero Touch deployment, which is very useful. This allows users to have an out of box experience."
"One of the most valuable aspects of Microsoft Intune is its seamless integration with Azure Active Directory, offering capabilities akin to Group Policy Objects."
"I like the tool's integration with Apple. Anyone who creates an ID in Intune will get an Apple ID."
"We have found the solution is capable of scaling."
"As the solution is a software as a service, the scalability is unlimited."
"The main advantage is that Intune performs its intended functions effectively."
"Has a variety of automation options."
"With AWS Systems Manager, our company can patch our systems directly from it, so we don't need to patch our systems manually."
"The solution is user-friendly"
"The solution's ability to scale is good."
"When we do the automation in the cloud, we use the SSM agent. This helps us to test our automation and documents, and monitor the cloud."
"Systems Manager has a feature where it analyzes the logs and gives us a performance overview in the form of a graph. We know when it's taking up more resources and when there are spikes, so we can predict the usability."
"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."
"Patch management is, for sure, most valuable. For license management and patch management, I would rate it a 10 out of 10."
"The most valuable features of Red Hat Satellite are its support, simplicity, and patch management."
"It plays a significant role in managing the lifecycle of our systems and ensures that we can effectively control and update the software versions to align with our organization's needs."
"I like the integration with other tools."
"Technical support has been good."
"The 'remote execution' feature further helps manage systems on a consistent basis."
"Satellite gives administrators the ability to target deployments and only send out the updates or provision updates to certain groups."
"In future releases, I would like to see better integration with Apple products."
"An issue we have run into with Microsoft Endpoint Manager is that we cannot patch third-party products like Adobe and Chrome with it."
"It should be simplified. I've worked with many different mobile device management solutions, and Intune is one of the more complex ones. It could be more simplified, and some of it is related to the wording that is being used, such as a configuration profile versus a policy. They really should have had different names to make it less confusing."
"Intune does not provide real-time visibility."
"Intune should be much more granular in terms of supporting more Android cellular devices."
"The current Intune reporting functionality could benefit from some improvements."
"There are items that require improvements. One is the controls from iOS."
"Intune has some limitations when it comes to application updates for third-party applications. You can schedule an update, but when it's a package setup, you need to supercede and replace it each time."
"Lacks sufficient integrations."
"The current challenge is that we can't pull any incidents from other accounts."
"We formerly used third-party products to analyze the log, give us information, and find bottlenecks. Systems Manager could provide more tools that conduct this analysis, so we don't have to do it ourselves."
"Additional features can be added as per customer requirements."
"The AWS UIs are not the most intuitive. Also, the usability needs room for improvement."
"The fact that AWS Systems Manager takes time to complete the patching process, makes it an area where improvements are required."
"The solution's initial setup is a little bit tricky."
"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."
"The product's automation capabilities need enhancement."
"I would like the direct integration with insights to be re-established."
"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."
"They could make it more easy to use and improve the GUI so that it's more intuitive."
"Red Hat Satellite has a short life cycle and we constantly need to update."
"Red Hat Satellite's pricing needs improvement."
