"The most valuable feature of HashiCorp Terraform is the custom modules."
"The first thing I like about the solution is that it keeps a version of your infrastructure."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the modules it offers."
"The most valuable feature of Terraform is the ability to use it as a coding language because it works in a way that's similar to other coding languages."
"It's very easy to automate functions on the cloud with HashiCorp Terraform. The commands are easy as well."
"It allows for the abstraction of the work away from the developer into automated processes."
"HashiCorp Terraform is highly stable."
"It allows our clients to have the confidence to centrally manage policies for security. It helps them in securing the organization from a technology aspect."
"The ability to push applications on devices is valuable. You do not have to manually install applications one by one. If you like to use ten different applications, you do not have to manually go and download them one by one. Intune can compile a package for you, and then you can just push them from the admin center."
"It's very informative when there is an error. It allows us to backtrace where the error is and resolve that ourselves. It's a bit of a Swiss Army penknife. We find that it fixes most issues."
"The solution is easy to use, simple to understand for those new to using it, and combined with the other Microsoft products it makes for an overall good package."

"Intune is effective because of the configuration management and endpoint security it provides. The graphical interface makes it easier to configure and deploy devices."
"They should include tutorials for understanding the use cases."
"Terraform doesn't support Artifactory as a backend."
"The integration with this solution needs to be improved."
"The product must improve DevOps features."
"Some areas where Terraform could improve would be challenges in managing sensitive information, especially when dealing with secret files or credentials."
"The state locking functionality can be improved. In certain situations, we have to force-unlock the state, which sometimes does not work. When that happens, we have to manually go to the state backend and remove that particular state, which is kind of a cumbersome process. It should also have more functions, more expressions, and support for more products."
"Terraform could create more examples in the documentation."
"On occasion, I have noticed a number of bugs in this solution that have needed to be fixed."
"The current Intune reporting functionality could benefit from some improvements."

"Intune lags all of its competitors in terms of report generation."
"Enhancements for managing MacOS more comprehensively would be beneficial."
"Onboarding of endpoint devices is not straightforward. The onboarding process was a little heavier than I thought it would be. That's the key improvement area. Obviously, the more control you have over the devices, the better it is."
"Microsoft Intune is not user-friendly to manage and has room for improvement."
"There are items that require improvements. One is the controls from iOS."
