We performed a comparison between HashiCorp Terraform and SUSE 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."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."
"We already use a lot of Microsoft products in our company, and therefore, it made sense to also use this product."
"The ability to manage devices with different sets of policies is most valuable."
"The ability to (somewhat) manage full Windows 10 computers including EXE-based or MSI-based application deployments using Azure Active Directory as Identity."
"We can manage and standardize security across your environment, identify problems, receive alerts, and so on. That's its purpose, and that's also why it's so good."
"While I don't think you can ever have full visibility and control, Intune certainly allows us to see the applications being used and tells us if things like Windows patches aren't applied to machines. It does a good job. That visibility makes life a little easier."
"By using Microsoft Intune we can control which websites the users can go to and it provides a secure environment for our employees using their laptops that are having access from home. We have installed Intune to control the user's environment minimizing the chances of any hacking."
"It has a useful device management feature."
"This solution is a fast and secure way to provision infrastructure."
"It allows for the abstraction of the work away from the developer into automated processes."
"The solution allows us to work faster with ease and to set up new environments and workspaces."
"This solution makes it easier to manage a multi-cloud environment and have your entire infrastructure as code."
"The most valuable feature is the support for different platforms like cloud, datacenters, VCS, databases, various storage types, and Kubernetes."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is the coding of our infrastructure. You can code it once and run it multiple times."
"Provides automation which has increased our efficiency."
"Can be used across multiple cloud providers and multiple platforms."
"The setup is straightforward."
"SUSE Manager is the best solution for maintaining the Linux environment"
"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."
"I would like the ability to install the agent on devices from suppliers, which would enable us to implement a zero-trust strategy for guest devices."
"Intune has limited integration with non-Microsoft solutions."
"The solution requires Mac support."
"The reporting and cost have room for improvement."
"The configuration and pricing can be improved."
"They can improve their MAM policies a little bit more and make them more granular. They should include more granular group policies. They are there, but they need to be more granular. Its stability should also be improved. It is not very stable. Sometimes, it shows some inconsistencies across tenants."
"Microsoft needs to enhance device-level security, as sometimes when using Microsoft Intune, the device's operating system becomes stuck and requires a full uninstall to remove the Intune bug."
"We would like to see support for Chrome and/or devices for Chromebooks."
"The error logging could be better. Sometimes, when you try to set something on Terraform, it gives you an error, but you don't understand how the error has been logged."
"Automation is needed to import everything at once from a manual environment or by a specific resource group."
"HashiCorp Terraform state management could be improved to be used efficiently with multi-users."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The solution is complex when we use it for a loop. This is a problem, not because of the language itself, but because of how the infrastructure generally works. It's different from Python."
"Terraform doesn't support Artifactory as a backend."
"Community tech support could be a little better."
"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."
"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."
"We sometimes have server issues and need to restart the service."
"I really would like to have a broader library of VCP's or playbooks that I can deploy."
