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."I believe that the solution is actually in Gartner's top quadrant at the moment for mobile device management."
"Remote Wipe and Autopilot is one of the best features."
"Intune's most valuable features are the device, compliance, and configuration policies."
"The ability to manage devices with different sets of policies is most valuable."
"The overall user experience is quite nice. I have no complaints from end users regarding their devices enrolled in Intune."
"It provides control over all mobile devices that are being connected to the corporate network."
"...Intune itself integrates with that entire Microsoft ecosystem. As an individual product itself, it's okay. It holds up. But when you start saying "I've bought this as part of a wider solution, as a company we are going Microsoft throughout," then it makes more sense to have Microsoft Intune... so you have that single dashboard."
"I like the tool's integration with Apple. Anyone who creates an ID in Intune will get an Apple ID."
"This solution makes it easier to manage a multi-cloud environment and have your entire infrastructure as code."
"It allows for the abstraction of the work away from the developer into automated processes."
"It is one of the best things because now we have everything automated with Terraform. We didn't have an outage for the last three years because everything is written in a code, and every change we have made is recorded. If we didn't have a tool like Terraform, it would be extremely complex to achieve this level of maturity with infrastructure."
"It is easy to recreate an exact duplicate or output of an environment."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its simplicity of SQL language, its compatibility with multiple cloud providers, and its modules like the open source modules available, especially considering the fact that I work mainly on AWS."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is the coding of our infrastructure. You can code it once and run it multiple times."
"The first thing I like about the solution is that it keeps a version of your infrastructure."
"The most valuable feature of HashiCorp Terraform is the custom modules."
"You don't need to depend on any third party. It's a complete solution for patch and configuration management when integrated with the existing system."
"The 'remote execution' feature further helps manage systems on a consistent basis."
"The product allows us to handle patching for multiple servers at a time manually."
"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."
"The product is convenient to use."
"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."
"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."
"The compliance auditing helped me a lot."
"Reporting could be improved. It needs to be more expensive and robust."
"Microsoft Intune's support for Mac devices is lacking and could be improved."
"The configuration could be better by consolidating options and making it simpler."
"One big problem with Microsoft is that they're changing the names of the products quite often, or they're quite consistently doing so. Intune is now Endpoint administration. Constantly switching the user interface or the administrative interface makes it quite hard to keep pace. If you are on a two-week holiday and you come back and look at the same screen you have looked at for the last couple of months, it looks different, which is annoying. Changing things around all the time doesn't make it easy."
"Microsoft Intune lacks the ability to provide seamless remote assistance or remote control."
"There can be more logs. I do not have any other requirements."
"There is room for improvement in integrating additional features such as Purview and SharePoint activities into Intune."
"Cost is the biggest factor for us right now. Microsoft Intune and AD P1 together in a bundle is a good thing to have, but it is very costly compared to other products in the market. Otherwise, Microsoft Intune is the best."
"Lacks flexibility in common programming languages."
"The price of the solution could improve."
"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."
"The integration with this solution needs to be improved."
"On a scale from one to ten, I would give this solution a rating of seven; strictly because I was uncomfortable using the ARM template earlier. After another six months, I am sure I will give it a rating of 10, but at this point in time in my experience, I say seven, but not because of the tool itself."
"The syntax is a bit difficult, and it would great if it could be easier."
"They should include tutorials for understanding the use cases."
"The product can integrate and utilize more services from different competitors. Currently, their commands are quite similar to Kubernetes, which we use in our CI/CD pipeline. Also, they should consider incorporating Windows command line, like PowerShell."
"It should basically include a complete slew of system management and monitoring tools such as Nagios. It should be a single pane of glass that gives us a complete solution. It is a good solution, but it is missing a few important things. We're using Capsule for DMVs on other secured zones. Capsule is a part of Satellite to be a proxy of sorts."
"The dashboard of Satellite is not encouraging. It does not adequately showcase all the functionality it offers."
"Red Hat Satellite has a short life cycle and we constantly need to update."
"The documentation could be better."
"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive. The licensing is a bit expensive."
"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 wasn't easy in the beginning, and some effort was required to work it out. I already had the product documentation, but it was not well organized. It wasn't easy to follow. There were a lot of documents here and there."
"There could be a feature to simplify the process without the requirement of any patch manager subscription."
