We performed a comparison between HashiCorp Terraform and Red Hat Satellite 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 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."
"Internet-based access with security is what I have found to be most valuable. It is also a stable and scalable solution."
"It's normally able to meet 100% expectations of our customers."
"Configuration profiles, remediation, scripts, and auto-pilot features are very good."
"We have one MDM that works with Windows, iOS, and Android."
"Autopilot is a great feature. Most users are looking for a zero-touch deployment."
"The key benefit of Intune is its integration with the Microsoft ecosystem."
"The most valuable feature for us is the security, including risk analysis and patch management."
"The most valuable features of HashiCorp Terraform are automation and management capabilities."
"The environment is very good. That's awesome."
"I like the function that shows me a preview of what is happening in the infrastructure."
"The most valuable features of Terraform are leveraging public modules for EKS, KMS, and ECR."
"The first thing I like about the solution is that it keeps a version of your infrastructure."
"The solution helps us save a lot of costs."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature is the support for different platforms like cloud, datacenters, VCS, databases, various storage types, and Kubernetes."
"Patch management is, for sure, most valuable. For license management and patch management, I would rate it a 10 out of 10."
"It has been a stable solution...It is a totally scalable solution."
"We've been getting reasonable support from Red Hat."
"It plays a significant role in managing the lifecycle of our systems and ensures that we can effectively control and update the software versions to align with our organization's needs."
"The compliance auditing helped me a lot."
"Red Hat Satellite's most valuable features include subscription management for various servers and environments. It allows organizations to group servers according to their patch levels, enabling administrators to manage and patch servers based on their specific environments."
"The most valuable feature is the management of the distributed tool we use in the Red Hat Linux Servers."
"Previously, we were using one server to update from a different repository over the HTTP. We had to manually manage the updates on the repository server. Satellite made the process easier."
"Microsoft Intune fails a lot when it comes to device compliance."
"There can be more logs. I do not have any other requirements."
"There can be delays in the deployment of new policies."
"For an existing customer who has an SCCM, it would need to be upgraded to an MECM first before I can introduce Microsoft Intune."
"It's the granularity: 'Is your firewall on? Is BitLocker on?' It's not amazing granularity. But I've looked into other products, like Duo, and they're all similar."
"Intune should be much more granular in terms of supporting more Android cellular devices."
"I know that their AI pieces are at the infancy stage, but allowing users to do more tagging for information would be an interesting thing because Intune also directly integrates with Azure. Because a lot of the devices are hosted with that, you also get a lot of tagging of user data and other things like that."
"We haven't really gone through all the features of Intune. We are just discovering them. Every day, we see a new feature that we want to apply, but what will be great for Intune is to be able to deploy apps in a simple fashion. We should be able to easily install various apps on the Windows platform, iOS, and Android. Currently, we have to write some scripts. It's not as straightforward as we would like it to be. It should be simplified so that we can do it just with three clicks—next, next, finish—without needing to write a script."
"I would want to see more programmatic capabilities implemented, such as if, else, and simple to manage things in terms of how I can use some programming functions to assist us to achieve more. I would like to have programming language-relevant features, to have programming language be the primary way."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"It would be nice if they could put our infrastructure on graphics or at least provide a map of our infrastructure."
"The integration with this solution needs to be improved."
"They have added a feature that helps us to import existing resources to our workspace, but if they can help us to create the code for the import, as well, then it would be a great addition."
"On occasion, I have noticed a number of bugs in this solution that have needed to be fixed."
"There is always room for improvement somewhere. I don't know everything about the product."
"The product must improve DevOps features."
"I would like the direct integration with insights to be re-established."
"Automation can always be improved and refined to continue to make it better."
"It is difficult to update and maintain."
"I hope to see improvements in integration capabilities within Red Hat Satellite in the next release. Integration exists currently, but it requires programming knowledge to utilize the APIs effectively. This process is complex and not straightforward for those unfamiliar with the APIs."
"It has not been significantly updated in a while."
"There could be a feature to simplify the process without the requirement of any patch manager subscription."
"Red Hat Satellite's pricing needs improvement."
"I would like to see the scalability, user interface, and reporting features improved and for the solution to be simplified. Instead of having complex engineering, it should be simple for the user."
