We performed a comparison between Microsoft Configuration Manager and Spring Cloud 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 ability to manage devices with different sets of policies is most valuable."
"There is a single pane of glass for user access and a single sign-on facility for the user. If you have already logged in to Microsoft Azure or on-premises, you can redirect directly to Microsoft Endpoint Manager, monitor all your security threats, and analyze the data associated with the application in a single, unified way."
"Fortunately, now everything is streamlined into a single, unified platform."
"The device profiling which uses the official Outlook email enabled us to control the screenshot feature and prevent copying outside of the organization's application."
"Intune can wipe devices. For example, if a disgruntled employee wants to leak the data on their company phone, Intune can terminate their access and wipe the entire device with a click."
"Its direct integration with all the other products that we have from Microsoft is valuable. We're using the E5 license, and we have a whole wealth of different products available. It just makes it easier to have everything from one provider."
"I like that we can implement conditional access."
"The reporting and analytics features in Microsoft Intune have been a lifesaver."
"It is a very well-rounded product. It is a complete package with all the features using which we are able to manage our PCs very efficiently."
"This solution helps us by automating the patching of our system."
"Technical support is very helpful and very responsive."
"I manage software updates and operating systems for devices, and within seconds, we can remotely deploy a system for, say, 2,000 devices. Not only that, but we can also deploy scripts and create comprehensive compliance rules."
"The solution has a very good set of features."
"The initial setup is fairly straightforward."
"The tool's most valuable features are easy patch management and software deployment."
"It is a very good solution. It has a good interface and is easy to use. On top of that, it is very reliable in terms of distribution as well as getting the report."
"It offers excellent scalability."
"Spring Cloud integrates well."
"The solution's initial setup is straightforward. The deployment process took me around ten minutes to fifteen minutes."
"They could also make it easier to use because there are some other products that may be easier to use in terms of the look and feel of the dashboard."
"Reporting and troubleshooting for the application deployment could be better. It's very difficult to understand."
"It's only good for a Microsoft environment."
"Intune has limited integration with non-Microsoft solutions."
"More integration with monitoring tools is needed."
"Reporting in Microsoft solutions is pathetic. With Intune, I'm getting a free inventory tool, but I don't get a reporting tool. When I go to Intune, I can see one machine's entire data in terms of the hardware and the software running on it, but I cannot generate a report for all the machines in the organization. The reporting is the only feature holding back the functionality that is already there."
"Sometimes, customers compare it with AirWatch, but the concept of Intune is different from other solutions. It's an application management app. It gets a bit difficult to explain it to customers, but it's not a product limitation. It takes a presale document or presentation to explain it to customers."
"Microsoft Intune could enhance its patch management for various devices, ensuring regular updates and tracking of device privileges."
"It would be better if reporting were more user-friendly. I would like to see an upgrade in the reporting structure in the next release. At the moment, you have to use an SQL query or configure it to pull reports through the graphical user interface. Their updates could be more regular. I think Mircosoft updates it every six months. They are also moving many things to Intune, and Microsoft decided to move the deployment solution there. I think SCCM is getting old, and Intune is new."
"It would be nice to have everything in one place. Now they have Intune for the desktops and SCCM to handle their servers."
"The setup was complex and I faced a lot of problems initially because I was new to the solution."
"I would like to see an agentless version of the solution."
"This solution should be simpler, and more consistent across modules/sections."
"Not everything is readily available, and there are a lot of commands that are only executable via PowerShell."
"A lot of experience is needed in terms of troubleshooting, as this is one of the most difficult tasks in MECM. We were seven people in a group and I was the only one that had the patience to do the troubleshooting at times."
"Microsoft should extend support for additional platforms."
"If there's a dashboard like the ones provided by Apigee or Kong, that will be useful."
"It would be beneficial for the framework to become more lightweight and efficient when transitioning to the cloud."
"Stability is one area in the solution that needs to improve."
