We performed a comparison between Microsoft Configuration Manager 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."One of the standout features of Intune is its seamless accessibility to work data, eliminating the need to be tied to an office or a desktop."
"The most valuable feature is the UEM capabilities."
"Intune provides full endpoint visibility and IT control across device platforms. You can individualize it for your company with the Intune Company Portal app."
"The mobile application management, MAM, is the most useful aspect of the solution."
"It works pretty well for us."
"We already use a lot of Microsoft products in our company, and therefore, it made sense to also use this product."
"I would say the biggest benefit is the single-pane view. There's no jumping around multiple UI's to do your overall management."
"The solution is scalable. We currently have tens of thousands of users within our organization using the solution."
"It is a good choice for deployment that performs very well."
"It saves a lot of money when you can install things automatically and they are installed the exact same way on every computer."
"The solution has a very good set of features."
"It's a stable product."
"This solution helps us by automating the patching of our system."
"Valuable features include configurations enforcement, compliance data gathering, and deployment of a standardized OS."
"Technical support is very helpful and very responsive."
"The technical support is good."
"SUSE Manager is the best solution for maintaining the Linux environment"
"The setup is straightforward."
"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."
"Integration with Mac devices requires some improvement."
"The security features should be improved."
"Sometimes, customers compare it with AirWatch, but the concept of Intune is different from other solutions. It's an application management app. It gets a bit difficult to explain it to customers, but it's not a product limitation. It takes a presale document or presentation to explain it to customers."
"The reporting needs to be a bit more interactive."
"The backend of Microsoft Intune needs to be improved. We have seen a little bit of delay as compared to other MDM solutions. That needs to be improved. A little bit more granularity should also be added"
"A new Intune feature allows application packaging, but it incurs additional licensing costs for a significant number of applications."
"I expect Microsoft Intune to have more features in the cloud because there are two major functionalities that we need to be added. This is software metering and license management. These functionalities, for now, must be on-premise. For this purpose, we have set up a SQL Server and I hope that in near future this option will be in the cloud in Microsoft Intune."
"We need the capabilities of the Cloud Management Gateway (CMG) to be enhanced through Intune instead of Azure."
"The tool's deployment can be cumbersome."
"I'm looking for a single solution for all discovery needs. It fulfills about 40% of the requirements, and I'd like to see the other 60% so that I don't have to keep doing this."
"Devices like smartphones and tablets are managed very well on VMware, however, they are absent in SCCM. I could configure iPad from the VMware site and it was done very easily. It should be just as possible on SCCM."
"The App to upgrades to the server needs to be improved."
"In terms of the monitoring, the timeframe it takes to actually report back on the compliance of a device after it has been patched is a bit too long."
"Troubleshooting in general needs improvement. There's just a ton of logs to go through, and so finding the error log that corresponds with that you're doing can sometimes be difficult."
"The product needs to improve scalability."
"It would be nice to have everything in one place. Now they have Intune for the desktops and SCCM to handle their servers."
"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."
"We sometimes have server issues and need to restart the service."
