We performed a comparison between SUSE Manager and vCenter Configuration 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."There are so many features, but Windows Autopilot is one of the features that are very valuable for most customers."
"Being able to manage the devices remotely is most valuable. We can push security requirements through Microsoft Intune."
"Intune's feature that I have found most valuable is its auto-pilot feature."
"The most valuable feature of Intune is the central dashboard for compliance and policy management."
"Intune is effective because of the configuration management and endpoint security it provides. The graphical interface makes it easier to configure and deploy devices."
"The performance of Microsoft Intune is good."
"Configuration profiles, remediation, scripts, and auto-pilot features are very good."
"It is a very helpful solution."
"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."
"SUSE Manager helps to optimize operations at a reduced cost."
"SUSE Manager is the best solution for maintaining the Linux environment"
"The setup is straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of vCenter Configuration Manager is the ease of provisioning."
"This solution supports multiple platforms in a single solution."
"I like vMotion because it manages fault tolerance."
"It is a very stable solution."
"vCenter Configuration Manager is a very good product, it works well."
"The market share of VMware is huge. It is not even necessary to prove the capabilities attached to the product."
"vCenter is very easy to use if you have good skills. It takes a little time to configure everything. It is template-based, so you click, click, and then reboot. It takes 15 minutes."
"The technical support services are good."
"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."
"There can be some added features, such as an improved dashboard. Any new feature that could be a benefit to our customers would be good."
"The current Intune reporting functionality could benefit from some improvements."
"Microsoft Intune needs to improve the initial login process."
"The mobile and tablet-based versions need improvement because they are not completely user-friendly, compared to the web version. Also, data synchronization with our existing asset manager, the synchronization between multiple assets and multiple devices, takes a lot of time due to the security scanning. It should be reduced."
"The most important thing is reporting. They should improve their reporting. They should give a free hand to users. In SCCM, I can create my own reports. For example, in SCCM, I can create an inventory report for my PC or for all PCs, but in Intune, we don't have an option to create any report. Microsoft claims that Intune is a successor of SCCM, but SCCM is more powerful than Intune. So, they should develop Intune more and make it equivalent to SCCM. Then, their product will be great in the market."
"There is room for improvement in integrating additional features such as Purview and SharePoint activities into Intune."
"Reporting could be improved. It needs to be more expensive and robust."
"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."
"I really would like to have a broader library of VCP's or playbooks that I can deploy."
"There could be an option for clients to manage the tool as well."
"There isn't a clear document covering all the errors. It would be helpful if the company provided better documentation for solving issues."
"The snapshot functionality on the solution needs improvement. After renewing the snapshot, all of the production was stuck. Right now, its functionality is one of our main concerns."
"When vCenter is in a Microsoft environment, there is a lot of licensing involved, where we face some difficulties."
"The product's price could be lesser."
"The licensing model has shifted from socket-based to core-based licensing, resulting in increased customer costs. Moreover, if a customer utilizes software like VMware, which integrates seamlessly with ESXi, it becomes even more challenging to consider replacing ESXi. Hence, many customers, particularly in India, are actively exploring alternatives."
"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The functions are not running in HTML5."
