"I can see that the patch management process is much improved with the bundled patch management option available in Microsoft Intune compared to the KPI deployment required by the other deployment solutions."
"For our office workers who are not based in Norway, when we order the PC, we can do some of the settings for them. These are standardized settings. We can set them up exactly as they are in Norway so that they're the same."
"I believe that the solution is actually in Gartner's top quadrant at the moment for mobile device management."
"I would say the biggest benefit is the single-pane view. There's no jumping around multiple UI's to do your overall management."
"We have one MDM that works with Windows, iOS, and Android."
"The aspects I find most valuable are the managing the data and applications. I can also restrict the users to install any applications. I can also wipe the data if the phone was missplaced or stolen. These are the basics for me."
"With AWS Systems Manager, our company can patch our systems directly from it, so we don't need to patch our systems manually."
"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 solution's ability to scale is good."
"Has a variety of automation options."
"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."
"The solution is user-friendly"
"AWS provides Auto Scaling groups."
"SUSE Manager is the best solution for maintaining the Linux environment"
"The setup is straightforward."
"SUSE Manager helps to optimize operations at a reduced cost."
"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."
"There could be more wizard-driven policy development or creation. Some of the policies can get quite complex. If they have a wizard that assists the administrators in creating the policy, that will be a great job."
"The configuration could be better by consolidating options and making it simpler."
"Technical support is not that great."
"The policies we had in SCCM and AD offered features that are missing from Microsoft Intune."
"Integrating certain group policies can be challenging and may necessitate using on-premises systems to integrate them with Microsoft Intune."
"Microsoft Intune lags market leaders, such as Apperian, in its MAM capabilities."
"Intune doesn't provide much control over Windows servers. It's something we struggle with."
"There is room for improvement in integrating additional features such as Purview and SharePoint activities into Intune."
"The current challenge is that we can't pull any incidents from other accounts."
"The fact that AWS Systems Manager takes time to complete the patching process, makes it an area where improvements are required."
"Additional features can be added as per customer requirements."
"Lacks sufficient integrations."
"AWS does not have EKS cluster backup."
"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 AWS UIs are not the most intuitive. Also, the usability needs room for improvement."
"It can be complex and difficult for users who are new to Linux and don't have any technical expertise."
"The initial stage is a bit complex, but after that, everything runs seamlessly."
