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."Intune's security features for Apple iOS and Mac OS are helpful. We can check enrollment, manage public and private settings, and manage the organization's data using security key features."
"The security-related tools are excellent; these features allow us to secure devices, lock them down, and ensure compliance."
"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."
"While Microsoft Intune boasts a wide range of features, its user-friendliness and bundled licensing cost are key considerations for me."
"Intune's unified endpoint management platform is invaluable."
"One of the most valuable aspects of Microsoft Intune is its seamless integration with Azure Active Directory, offering capabilities akin to Group Policy Objects."
"I believe that the solution is actually in Gartner's top quadrant at the moment for mobile device management."
"Mobile device management is most valuable."
"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."
"Has a variety of automation options."
"The solution's ability to scale is good."
"AWS provides Auto Scaling groups."
"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."
"Technical support has been good."
"The product helps me to manage a large number of servers from one console."
"The most valuable features of Red Hat Satellite are its support, simplicity, and patch management."
"The product is convenient to use."
"The most valuable feature is the management of the distributed tool we use in the Red Hat Linux Servers."
"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."
"Patch management is, for sure, most valuable. For license management and patch management, I would rate it a 10 out of 10."
"The compliance auditing helped me a lot."
"Data leak prevention can be integrated into it. Currently, it does not have data leak prevention."
"The security features should be improved."
"While Intune works perfectly well, the only potential downside is that the deployment could be a bit complex for some users."
"From a new user's perspective, it may be a little overwhelming because there are quite a few things to look at in the console, however, once you are sort of acclimated and are familiar with your core functions, it's fairly simple and straightforward."
"What would make this product better is adding more security policies and features in the next upgrade."
"They could also make it easier to use because there are some other products that may be easier to use in terms of the look and feel of the dashboard."
"The initial setup is a little bit complex."
"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."
"The current challenge is that we can't pull any incidents from other accounts."
"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."
"Additional features can be added as per customer requirements."
"Lacks sufficient integrations."
"The AWS UIs are not the most intuitive. Also, the usability needs room for improvement."
"The fact that AWS Systems Manager takes time to complete the patching process, makes it an area where improvements are required."
"The documentation could be better."
"They could make it more easy to use and improve the GUI so that it's more intuitive."
"The solution's initial setup is a little bit tricky."
"It is difficult to update and maintain."
"Improving integration could lead to a more unified management experience for multiple operating systems within our data center."
"Satellite should be bundled with Ansible Tower and the Ansible Automation platform. We face challenges from a security perspective because we have micro-segmentation in our network. For each server we provision, we have to set permissions to different ports so that the servers can communicate with Satellite. If I have a single server with Satellite and the Ansible Automation Platform, it would be easier to manage security issues instead of having two or three products on various servers."
"The product could have more diversity in what it is able to deploy and might do better if it was not dedicated to Red Hat products only."
"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."
