We performed a comparison between HashiCorp Terraform 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."The synchronization of Intune with other Microsoft solutions is a valuable feature."
"The most important thing for me is the autopilot feature."
"The main advantage is that Intune performs its intended functions effectively."
"It provides control over all mobile devices that are being connected to the corporate network."
"Microsoft's cloud comes with a lot of extra features that are free of charge."
"For our office workers who are not based in Norway, when we order the PC, we can do some of the settings for them. These are standardized settings. We can set them up exactly as they are in Norway so that they're the same."
"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."
"The one feature we find most useful is the Mobile Application Manager. There are two types, we have the complete MDM and the Mobile Application Manager(MAM). We don't give our users phones, it is their own personal phone, and we need to allow them to have access to the company detail on their phone. We need to create a balance between their own personal data and the company data. We deploy the Mobile Application Manager for them so that we won't be able to interfere with their own personal data."
"The ARM template is very easy to work with, which is a big help to us."
"The solution helps us save a lot of costs."
"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."
"HashiCorp Terraform is highly stable."
"The state backend, automated describe functionality, modular structures, and variablization using templates are most valuable."
"Can be used across multiple cloud providers and multiple platforms."
"Modules can be reused extremely easily."
"The most valuable feature of HashiCorp Terraform is the custom modules."
"The setup is straightforward."
"SUSE Manager helps to optimize operations at a reduced cost."
"SUSE Manager is the best solution for maintaining the Linux environment"
"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."
"It's only good for a Microsoft environment."
"The solution could improve its flexibility."
"The solution could improve by having better integration with Apple."
"China blocks Google and Google Play Store, which makes installation challenging. Microsoft Intune is a company software, which has to be installed to the app portal or Microsoft Software Center."
"Due to the abundance of features, there's a lot to organize, which makes managing and setting up the solution challenging. The setup is immense, and it would be good to see improvement in this area."
"The installation could be improved to be simplified."
"I think there should be a better tracking of the cell phones used on the Intune."
"An issue we have run into with Microsoft Endpoint Manager is that we cannot patch third-party products like Adobe and Chrome with it."
"I initially found the initial HashiCorp Terraform difficult to comprehend. It's complex and not straightforward, requiring proper training to grasp it. Even someone with a background in networking or cybersecurity would need guidance from someone knowledgeable."
"There is always room for improvement somewhere. I don't know everything about the product."
"HashiCorp Terraform state management could be improved to be used efficiently with multi-users."
"The product must improve DevOps features."
"Terraform could create more examples in the documentation."
"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."
"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."
"On occasion, I have noticed a number of bugs in this solution that have needed to be fixed."
"I really would like to have a broader library of VCP's or playbooks that I can deploy."
"We sometimes have server issues and need to restart the service."
"The initial stage is a bit complex, but after that, everything runs seamlessly."
"It can be complex and difficult for users who are new to Linux and don't have any technical expertise."
