We performed a comparison between HashiCorp Terraform and Spring Cloud 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."Based on my experience, I find Intune very flexible for managing Windows devices. We can use scripting, and we can make use of the self-service portal or the company portal to publish some of the applications for Windows."
"The solution has reduced the risk of security breaches by 30%."
"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."
"We use a local Active Directory, but we weren't able to manage all our on-site systems without a solution like Intune, and we needed to deploy software like VPNs and other things. It's seamless now to to this through Intune."
"Internet-based access with security is what I have found to be most valuable. It is also a stable and scalable solution."
"Autopilot is a great feature. Most users are looking for a zero-touch deployment."
"The technical support of Microsoft Intune is good."
"One of the biggest advantages of Microsoft Intune is that it brings the management of Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and even Linux under a single pane of glass."
"The most valuable feature is the support for different platforms like cloud, datacenters, VCS, databases, various storage types, and Kubernetes."
"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's very easy to automate functions on the cloud with HashiCorp Terraform. The commands are easy as well."
"HashiCorp Terraform is highly stable."
"Can be used across multiple cloud providers and multiple platforms."
"It is easy to recreate an exact duplicate or output of an environment."
"Provides automation which has increased our efficiency."
"The most valuable feature is the great community support."
"Spring Cloud integrates well."
"It offers excellent scalability."
"The solution's initial setup is straightforward. The deployment process took me around ten minutes to fifteen minutes."
"It would really be helpful to have the option to manage server operating systems as well, like Windows Server, at least. That way, we could scrap the use of SCCM, which requires a lot of on-premises infrastructure."
"The solution could improve by having better integration with Apple."
"The difficulty of the the roll out is surprisingly difficult considering this product is supposed to be an integrated part of the 365 suite."
"I'd like some more reporting so that I don't have to delve into PowerShell and I can pull more of the local device information such as memory, apps installed, etc. It would be nice to be able to see the apps that are present there but might not be managed. For example, if they installed 7Zip, it could report that back via an installed program or feature to see what was currently installed."
"Enhancements for managing MacOS more comprehensively would be beneficial."
"The reporting and cost have room for improvement."
"The current Intune reporting functionality could benefit from some improvements."
"Intune doesn't provide much control over Windows servers. It's something we struggle with."
"HashiCorp Terraform could improve the integration with the VCloud Director. When we manage the VCloud Director we end up wasting our time when creating virtual machines. HashiCorp Terraform knows about these issues and I think there might be a workaround but they should incorporate the fix in an upcoming release."
"HashiCorp Terraform state management could be improved to be used efficiently with multi-users."
"Some areas where Terraform could improve would be challenges in managing sensitive information, especially when dealing with secret files or credentials."
"Community tech support could be a little better."
"They should include tutorials for understanding the use cases."
"The price of the solution could improve."
"I would like to see a short-term option for a short-term plan."
"Terraform doesn't support Artifactory as a backend."
"It would be beneficial for the framework to become more lightweight and efficient when transitioning to the cloud."
"Stability is one area in the solution that needs to improve."
"If there's a dashboard like the ones provided by Apigee or Kong, that will be useful."
