Find out what your peers are saying about Red Hat, Microsoft, HCLTech and others in Configuration Management."The synchronization of Intune with other Microsoft solutions is a valuable feature."
"I can see that the patch management process is much improved with the bundled patch management option available in Microsoft Intune compared to the KPI deployment required by the other deployment solutions."
"Easy to use."
"At the moment, Autopilot is the most valuable feature."
"This product offers an alternative solution to other UEM (Unified Endpoint Management) solutions."
"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 can manage and standardize security across your environment, identify problems, receive alerts, and so on. That's its purpose, and that's also why it's so good."
"Among the most valuable features are the Company Portal that is built into Intune, and the update rings so that we can manage what types of future updates the devices get."
"The valuable features of HashiCorp Terraform are the infrastructure can be written, shared, and collaborated on using code, which speeds up deployment. Additionally, bugs and issues can be fixed in the code and redeployed, making it less risky. It is a more efficient method compared to the traditional approach of writing scripts to set up infrastructure."
"The state file is the most beneficial aspect of HashiCorp Terraform. It enables the retrieval and utilization of a previous state to build upon. This feature is particularly important since it allows for the identification of changes from the previous state, making the state file a critical component of the process."
"The first thing I like about the solution is that it keeps a version of your infrastructure."
"We save a lot of time with this solution."
"The most valuable feature is the great community support."
"Modules can be reused extremely easily."
"The state backend, automated describe functionality, modular structures, and variablization using templates are most valuable."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature is the impact analysis."
"Helps me perform changes in connected infrastructure thanks to the discovery features."
"The backend of Microsoft Intune needs to be improved. We have seen a little bit of delay as compared to other MDM solutions. That needs to be improved. A little bit more granularity should also be added"
"It would be great to see on-premises mailboxes and for the solution to have geofencing capabilities."
"Microsoft Intune's support for Mac devices is lacking and could be improved."
"Intune does not provide real-time visibility."
"Additional application deployment options e.g. MSI deployment with more complex parameters or additional side-by-side files, and non-MSI deployment options."
"Intune lags all of its competitors in terms of report generation."
"Intune's areas for improvement revolve around security and certificate management."
"It needs certificate provisioning for S/MIME purposes."
"Automation is needed to import everything at once from a manual environment or by a specific resource group."
"The price of the solution could improve."
"When a misconfiguration or drift occurs, fixing the issue can be difficult. For instance, if there is a change in API calls while a script is running, it can be challenging to make corrections. This may require additional review and modifications to the code. I recall an instance where an industry budget creation process was altered, and it took significant time to amend the code. In fact, I had to add five or six different script portions to resolve the issue."
"Terraform doesn't support Artifactory as a backend."
"If you are copying something from a well running machine to a remote machine, there are some issues with the current version, but it is acceptable."
"Terraform could create more examples in the documentation."
"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."
"The solution is complex when we use it for a loop. This is a problem, not because of the language itself, but because of how the infrastructure generally works. It's different from Python."
"The native UI should be simplified because it is outdated and a little bit over-complicated."
