"It's normally able to meet 100% expectations of our customers."
"By using Microsoft Intune we can control which websites the users can go to and it provides a secure environment for our employees using their laptops that are having access from home. We have installed Intune to control the user's environment minimizing the chances of any hacking."
"The security-related tools are excellent; these features allow us to secure devices, lock them down, and ensure compliance."
"The product has eased the deployment of Microsoft apps to the devices. We can manage it properly. We can control it and push the updates. Another company helped us with the deployment. However, we can do it internally."
"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."
"SaltStack has given us the ability to deal with systems at scale and rectify issues at scale."
"The ability to programmatically describe the desired state of a single, or an entire fleet of servers, on-premises, and in a cloud environment."
"The product’s most valuable feature is its ability to provide environmental security."
"I want to build automation that is intelligent, part of the fabric of our environment, and is somewhat self-sustaining. I think SaltStack can help me do this."
"We monitor the configurations against CIS standards. We run CIS benchmarks and maintain configurations with higher CIS values for each server."
"It is a highly stable solution."
"The automation functionality has been most valuable. With a click of a button, we are able to automate provisioning, the build of new hardware and apply patches. These are all extremely important and differentiated tasks that can be automated in SaltStack."
"This solution has made us aware that we are over-provisioning our virtual machines."
"The most valuable feature is that it has a very easy and adaptive look and feel, compared with some other cloud solutions."
"The most valuable feature is the metering capability."
"The most valuable feature is that it allows us to compare the billing between the clouds."
"The product provides excellent daily reports."
"It doesn't take long to develop an automation blueprint. You need about half an hour, and then you can install or deploy it on several systems. That was our first great advantage in the project because we urgently needed to deploy across many different systems."
"The way the dashboard works with the main orchestrator to combine different types of cloud providers is helpful."
"I like the integration with other applications or vendors."
"Enhancements for managing MacOS more comprehensively would be beneficial."
"In the past, I raised some tickets for the enhancement feature, which was missing in Intune."

"Sometimes, updating a client policy is very difficult. This needs to be improved."
"They need to integrate more with security options."
"The reports aren't complete, and it's not easy to build custom reports. For example, Windows Autopilot isn't working well in cases where the computers don't have a good internet connection. Then the option is not good enough."
"There is room for improvement, particularly in terms of compatibility, extending beyond the well-known major brands."
"The pricing could be improved."
