We performed a comparison between AWS Systems Manager 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 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."
"It is a very stable and scalable cloud-only solution."
"The device profiling which uses the official Outlook email enabled us to control the screenshot feature and prevent copying outside of the organization's application."
"It allows our clients to have the confidence to centrally manage policies for security. It helps them in securing the organization from a technology aspect."
"The security-related tools are excellent; these features allow us to secure devices, lock them down, and ensure compliance."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is having all our devices compliant with our policies."
"I like the group policy management feature, which performs application monitoring and device enrollment."
"It is a helpful tool to manage BYOD policies."
"The solution is user-friendly"
"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."
"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."
"Has a variety of automation options."
"The solution's ability to scale is good."
"The setup is straightforward."
"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"
"SUSE Manager helps to optimize operations at a reduced cost."
"Lacks the ability to deploy more ways of management, managing devices and processing the policies."
"I'm still playing around with it and haven't had any issues with the product yet, but support can definitely be improved."
"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."
"We faced issues with macOS support. The product should have better inventory and asset management."
"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."
"One area for improvement is app deployment. Another is the Windows update rollout. If you're rolling out an object to a device that's offline, Intune stops trying to reach this device after it sits idle for a bit. We are forced to find a workaround that could help manage that."
"There is room for improvement, particularly in terms of compatibility, extending beyond the well-known major brands."
"Having a dedicated configuration server that assists in modifying the configuration service, and creating personalized structures, interfaces, and web services could enhance usability."
"Lacks sufficient integrations."
"The AWS UIs are not the most intuitive. Also, the usability needs room for improvement."
"Additional features can be added as per customer requirements."
"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."
"The initial stage is a bit complex, but after that, everything runs seamlessly."
"We sometimes have server issues and need to restart the service."
"It can be complex and difficult for users who are new to Linux and don't have any technical expertise."
"I really would like to have a broader library of VCP's or playbooks that I can deploy."
