We performed a comparison between AWS Systems Manager 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."Compliance and the policies that can be set are the most valuable features."
"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."
"It is a helpful tool to manage BYOD policies."
"The solution is easy to use and it has good performance."
"The most valuable includes managing everything from a single console."
"The Autopilot feature is fantastic. It is a Microsoft product, so it deals best with Microsoft operating systems, but it can integrate with iOS, Mac OS, Linux, and Android."
"A valuable feature is user enrollment, where users can enroll their devices in their organizations themselves."
"The mobile application management, MAM, is the most useful aspect of the solution."
"The solution's ability to scale is good."
"Has a variety of automation options."
"The solution is user-friendly"
"With AWS Systems Manager, our company can patch our systems directly from it, so we don't need to patch our systems manually."
"When we do the automation in the cloud, we use the SSM agent. This helps us to test our automation and documents, and monitor the cloud."
"Systems Manager has a feature where it analyzes the logs and gives us a performance overview in the form of a graph. We know when it's taking up more resources and when there are spikes, so we can predict the usability."
"The product is convenient to use."
"It has been a stable solution...It is a totally scalable solution."
"Fixing is the most valuable. When you deal with a lot of hardware and software and you have a lot of packages, fixing is a bit difficult. You need to track and pull up all such things, but Satellite makes this task easy. We have branches in other locations, and I can manage other branches by using Satellite Capsule, which is a great feature."
"It cuts down significantly on the administrative time it takes to patch systems in a large environment."
"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 most valuable features of Red Hat Satellite are its support, simplicity, and patch management."
"The product's most valuable feature is its ability to process patching and updates completely offline without an internet connection."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that you don't have to expose your mission-critical environment to the Internet. With the Satellite system in place, it acts as a barrier between your Red Hat infrastructure and the public Internet."
"Data leak prevention can be integrated into it. Currently, it does not have data leak prevention."
"The feature that allows us to import the business application from the configuration manager to Intune is not very good at this time."
"There is room for improvement in integrating additional features such as Purview and SharePoint activities into Intune."
"Once it's configured it is unobtrusive, but it does take some hands-on to configure and deploy it properly."
"We would like to see support for Chrome and/or devices for Chromebooks."
"In terms of what can be improved, I am looking for better enhancements regarding Apple management, not only on the mobile device, but also on the laptop."
"It would be good if, in addition to the minimal patching and compliance, we could also use Intune for application deployment. For instance, if a device is not patched, Intune should have the ability to push not only a Microsoft patch but also other patches, such as a browser patch."
"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."
"We formerly used third-party products to analyze the log, give us information, and find bottlenecks. Systems Manager could provide more tools that conduct this analysis, so we don't have to do it ourselves."
"The fact that AWS Systems Manager takes time to complete the patching process, makes it an area where improvements are required."
"The AWS UIs are not the most intuitive. Also, the usability needs room for improvement."
"The current challenge is that we can't pull any incidents from other accounts."
"Additional features can be added as per customer requirements."
"Lacks sufficient integrations."
"Regarding the product's ability to support third-party tools, Red Hat doesn't support all the layers from the open-source version of Linux."
"It is difficult to update and maintain."
"There needs to be some margin for improvement in terms of the way Satellite manages subscriptions. It is still very confusing when we have different contracts or different bundles of subscriptions, and we need to manage those within Satellite in a way that's very user-friendly."
"The dashboard of Satellite is not encouraging. It does not adequately showcase all the functionality it offers."
"I would like the direct integration with insights to be re-established."
"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."
"Automation can always be improved and refined to continue to make it better."
"There could be a feature to simplify the process without the requirement of any patch manager subscription."
