Find out what your peers are saying about Red Hat, Microsoft, HCLTech and others in Configuration Management."For Windows services, there are multiple options within Intune to modernize it to be more internet-facing and dynamic."
"It's very informative when there is an error. It allows us to backtrace where the error is and resolve that ourselves. It's a bit of a Swiss Army penknife. We find that it fixes most issues."
"We have one MDM that works with Windows, iOS, and Android."
"In terms of technical support, you will get an immediate response."
"It has improve our organization through the remote management of non-domain joined devices."
"It is very easy to use. It has a very easy interface."
"Users can make screenshots, and devices only need the minimal version of iOS."
"Autopilot is the most valuable feature."
"With Terraform, you don't need to understand the console of your cloud providers. You only need to understand how Terraform works, and you manage your infrastructure tools in Terraform."
"The most valuable feature is the solution does not need installation."
"I like the function that shows me a preview of what is happening in the infrastructure."
"This solution is a fast and secure way to provision infrastructure."
"The concept of infrastructure as code is quite intriguing. We have an infrastructure in our code and a state file where we can verify whether something is changed when it was changed, and who changed it. When we use Terraform, these kinds of things fascinate us."
"The most valuable features of Terraform are leveraging public modules for EKS, KMS, and ECR."
"The feature "Terraform Plan" is the most valuable in HashiCorp Terraform as it allows us to see the differences between the current infrastructure and the one we are about to deploy, keeping things safe. Additionally, we appreciate the use of the modules as it helps in making the application scalable."
"It is the customization of Terraform's modules that I find most valuable."
"The most valuable feature is the impact analysis."
"Helps me perform changes in connected infrastructure thanks to the discovery features."
"I have a lot of Apple products in my environment. It would be nice to have an improved integration of Apple products with Microsoft Intune without Jam."
"It would be nice to have a location tracker for the mobile device management tool. I'm not sure if it exists but hasn't been configured or if it's missing, but we've been unable to utilize the location features."
"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."
"It's only good for a Microsoft environment."
"The difficulty of the the roll out is surprisingly difficult considering this product is supposed to be an integrated part of the 365 suite."
"The policies we had in SCCM and AD offered features that are missing from Microsoft Intune."
"An area for improvement is the absence of seamless integration, particularly with external dashboards."
"The security features should be improved."
"I would like to see a short-term option for a short-term plan."
"With cloud providers always adding new resource types, there are certain resources that Terraform does not support. It would be great if it could support those resources as well."
"Automation is needed to import everything at once from a manual environment or by a specific resource group."
"They have added a feature that helps us to import existing resources to our workspace, but if they can help us to create the code for the import, as well, then it would be a great addition."
"The error logging could be better. Sometimes, when you try to set something on Terraform, it gives you an error, but you don't understand how the error has been logged."
"On a scale from one to ten, I would give this solution a rating of seven; strictly because I was uncomfortable using the ARM template earlier. After another six months, I am sure I will give it a rating of 10, but at this point in time in my experience, I say seven, but not because of the tool itself."
"The product can integrate and utilize more services from different competitors. Currently, their commands are quite similar to Kubernetes, which we use in our CI/CD pipeline. Also, they should consider incorporating Windows command line, like PowerShell."
"HashiCorp Terraform could improve the integration with the VCloud Director. When we manage the VCloud Director we end up wasting our time when creating virtual machines. HashiCorp Terraform knows about these issues and I think there might be a workaround but they should incorporate the fix in an upcoming release."
"The native UI should be simplified because it is outdated and a little bit over-complicated."
