Find out what your peers are saying about Red Hat, Microsoft, HCLTech and others in Configuration Management."Stable solution at a good price."
"There has been a noticeable increase in productivity for both my organization and clients."
"There are so many features, but Windows Autopilot is one of the features that are very valuable for most customers."
"The ability to manage devices with different sets of policies is most valuable."
"Intune's most valuable features are the device, compliance, and configuration policies."
"I like the tool's integration with Apple. Anyone who creates an ID in Intune will get an Apple ID."
"It has helped with compliance. It has helped to ensure that devices comply with the organization's policy. If they are not compliant and secure, they cannot access the resources."
"I like that it's very good and very simple. I found that we just needed to have a proper subscription for an Intune tenant, and from the subscription, if we have the right role assigned, like the global admin role or the owner role, we can use Microsoft cloud resources. With the help of that, we can do many things like setting up Microsoft Intune in the cloud to create our virtual machines. All these can be done, and the steps are very simple. I really liked it. I like features like Windows Auto-Enrollment. I like it very much because whenever you supply it to the end-user, it will be ready to use immediately. The end-user only needs to provide the user credentials, and then they are good to go. I also really like Cloud PC, which was recently launched on Azure."
"Helps me perform changes in connected infrastructure thanks to the discovery features."
"The most valuable feature is the impact analysis."
"vCenter alone is enough for me because vCenter is a cluster environment and cluster solution for virtualization environments."
"My experience managing virtual environments using vCenter Configuration Manager has been quite smooth. Over time, I've observed that there's been a significant local competency built around the product, especially in India, where ESXi and VMware dominate the market. It's evident that vCenter Configuration Center is the preferred management tool in this context, and it's relatively easy to find expertise in the market."
"The product's deployment phase was easy."
"The most valuable features of vCenter Configuration Manager are highly mature technology."
"Beneficial patch management and template features."
"I would rate the scalability quite good. You can extend your environment effectively with appropriate investment."
"The tool's scalability is good and easy, especially when compared to Microsoft Hyper-V."
"This solution supports multiple platforms in a single solution."
"The synchronization could be improved."
"The reports that are generated aren't so great. They don't give a lot of meaning so far, but that could be down to user knowledge than the actual reporting side of things. I'm not a big user of it, but I was a bigger user of MaaS360, and we used to be able to run weekly and monthly reports. In the case of any deviations. we'd get a warning immediately. That's not so easy to do or to get in place for Intune. This could be just a user issue, but when I compare both, that's the only thing that's lacking for me."
"We would like to see support for Chrome and/or devices for Chromebooks."
"No option to do end-to-en macOS management. Slow implementation of policies."
"The solution could be improved by the opportunity to connect third-party application databases, such as Chocolatey or another setup store, to Intune."
"I would like to see the ability to deploy custom packages as a Windows 64-bit package, as opposed to the Windows 32-bit, which is the only one available now."
"The security features should be improved."
"I would like to see easier pushdowns. Currently, we have to package our own software and then push it. Intune can make that way easier and integrate applications, such as Zoom and Adobe Acrobat, that are used by a lot of enterprise or corporate organizations."
"The native UI should be simplified because it is outdated and a little bit over-complicated."
"The functions are not running in HTML5."
"There are some complexities within the system center. For example, we use two different applications for updates and the deployment of the machine. We also have another third party solution."
"Users need to pay a licensing fee for the solution, which could be cheaper."
"The customer service and support are not as good as that of other solutions. It is not very fast."
"If the solution could manage on-premises and cloud resources with the help of one tool, it would be an extra agent."
"vCenter Configuration Manager could improve by having more integration."
"Not very user friendly, too many configurations."
"There are a lot of steps to do the configuration. We have to do it step by step and it is time-consuming. If it was easier it could be done quicker. There should be a preloaded configuration."
