Centralized endpoint security has improved and supports hybrid work and BYOD policies

Regarding what I dislike about Microsoft Intune and its downsides, I would say that more Mac controls are needed because we have limited Mac and Linux control. When comparing controls and policies between Windows, Mac, and Linux, Windows has almost everything you can think of, while Mac and Linux have limited types of control. You cannot implement certain things on Mac and Linux that you can on Windows. The limited controls are a major issue. Additionally, if Microsoft could find a way to embed servers into Microsoft Intune, that would be beneficial. Microsoft Intune is not really designed for servers or Windows servers. It is more tailored towards Windows 11 and Windows 10 operating systems. Windows servers are not fully supported. Enterprise organizations usually have both servers and endpoints, which are users' workstations. For servers, most people look for other solutions such as SCCM, which is Configuration Manager. However, SCCM is what Microsoft Intune is trying to replace. Both SCCM and Microsoft Intune belong to Microsoft. Microsoft is trying to transition organizations into Microsoft Intune, the native cloud solution. However, because this update is still in process, servers are not fully compatible with Microsoft Intune and cannot be managed by it. The current policy that has emerged from issues with clients is what they call co-management, which is relatively new, and I do not know if adoption is significant. Many legacy or older customers who have been using these products for decades still have SCCM. When it is time for them to manage their Windows devices, they use what is called cloud attach. Cloud attach is a term whereby your SCCM is connected to your Microsoft Intune. Most people do not know about it, but I have deployed it for several organizations. Cloud attach and co-management work together so that your device is in SCCM, but some policies are pushed from Microsoft Intune. It is like two different solutions working hand in hand. That is what they call co-management. Microsoft Intune does not bring all of your endpoint and security management tools into one place, which is the goal and how it should be. However, as I mentioned, servers are not included. If we talk about end users, Microsoft Intune does bring all your devices together. In a typical enterprise environment, you have end users with workstations, laptops, company-issued phones, and bring your own devices. You can create policies for all of these. However, for the backend, your servers do not have much coverage. Servers are not really covered by Microsoft Intune in that way.

Hybrid platform has strengthened patching and vulnerability management and provides reliable HA

Red Hat Satellite has an HA setup that we use in regular VMs. We can enable Pacemaker, resource agent, and syncing all Red Hat own VMs together by node by node, with replicated three nodes at one time. This is the best feature I have ever used in Red Hat. Red Hat Satellite definitely removes vulnerabilities. It gives us errata so we can fix our bug fixes, and it is very convenient to us. It helps a lot because in a normal ISO, we do not have bug fixes. On Red Hat portal, Red Hat Satellite gave us the vulnerability before it came to become a vulnerability. That is why it is a very practical thing.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"I would rate the stability of Microsoft Intune nine out of ten."

"If I assess Intune's user experience, I would say it is perfect and simple."

"Overall, I like Intune as a solution and would rate it nine out of ten."

"The most important part is that they're fast in implementing and integrating with the Windows operating system, as well as how it integrates with other Office 365 products."

"The best features include the management, which is quite good, and endpoints."

"The initial setup is easy."

"It is very stable and scalable because this is a cloud-only solution."

"Intune saves time, and it is very easy to use. It allows us to manage applications completely."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"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."

"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 product helps me to manage a large number of servers from one console."

"The product's most valuable feature is its ability to process patching and updates completely offline without an internet connection."

"Previously, we were using one server to update from a different repository over the HTTP. We had to manually manage the updates on the repository server. Satellite made the process easier."

"Our customers primarily look for two main features: reliability and flexibility."

"I would definitely recommend this solution to anyone who wants to manage the software."

"The most valuable feature is the management of the distributed tool we use in the Red Hat Linux Servers."

More Red Hat Satellite pros

"Spring Cloud integrates well."

"The solution's initial setup is straightforward. The deployment process took me around ten minutes to fifteen minutes."

"It offers excellent scalability."

"Spring Cloud integrates well, and as it's code-based, you can do more customization, so with the way you configure or code, you can have your custom implementations, making it the best integration option if you have Java Spring Web Services."

Cons

"I, as such, do not have any specific inputs or needs. However, there is always room for improvement when it comes to scalability."

"There are some areas of improvement for Microsoft Intune, including faster policy sync so changes can apply quicker, a simpler interface, better reporting with more details and clear insight, improved troubleshooting, clearer error messages and logs, and stronger support for macOS and Linux, alongside better cross-platform features."

"We faced issues with macOS support. The product should have better inventory and asset management."

"Since GMS is unavailable in China, we currently rely on device administrator enrollment for managing Android devices there."

"We need the capabilities of the Cloud Management Gateway (CMG) to be enhanced through Intune instead of Azure."

"I have been trying to contact technical support but haven't been able to reach anyone."

"An issue we have run into with Microsoft Endpoint Manager is that we cannot patch third-party products like Adobe and Chrome with it."

"What frustrates me the most is just waiting and tapping my fingers, uncertain about whether my changes will take effect."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"There needs to be some margin for improvement in terms of the way Satellite manages subscriptions. It is still very confusing when we have different contracts or different bundles of subscriptions, and we need to manage those within Satellite in a way that's very user-friendly."

"Migration from one version to another should be simplified further. Although improvements are underway, customers still find migrations a complex process."

"Red Hat Satellite is a valuable tool for configuration management. It provides advanced services for updates, allowing you to identify and manage servers across networks."

"It is difficult to update and maintain."

"They could make it more easy to use and improve the GUI so that it's more intuitive."

"The documentation could be better."

"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."

"Red Hat Satellite has a short life cycle and we constantly need to update."

More Red Hat Satellite cons

"It would be beneficial for the framework to become more lightweight and efficient when transitioning to the cloud."

"If there's a dashboard like the ones provided by Apigee or Kong, that will be useful."

"Stability is one area in the solution that needs to improve."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a license required to use this solution. However, it was part of a bundle package. Microsoft Intune is far less expensive than other solutions, such as Workspace ONE."

"The price of Intune is included with the license for Office 365, so we don't have to pay anything extra for it."

"The price for Intune is fair."

"It's bundled with Business Premium and an E3 license, which is beneficial. If you have to pay extra, it's pricey, but with the bundled package, it's acceptable. They recently increased the Business Premium pricing, which we don't appreciate. The price increase and yearly commitment are causing some problems for us."

"Intune is included with our F3 and E5 licenses."

"The pricing needs improvement."

"I don't have any problem as far as cost is concerned. It is bundled with our license."

"Microsoft Intune is more expensive than other solutions, but it offers a wider range of features and control."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"The price could be lower and more adaptive."

"For us, Red Hat Satellite's pricing is between cheaper and moderate."

"Red Hat Satellite is expensive, but if we have more than 50 or 60 VMs, we cannot do away with the solution."

"Red Hat Satellite is expensive."

"Our customers have to pay for the product's license."

"The product is very expensive for our customers."

"The tool's pricing is high."

"The cost for a larger enterprise is probably almost always a boon."

More Red Hat Satellite pricing and cost advice

"Currently, we are not required to pay for licenses."

"It is an open-source or free version solution. It also has a paid version, but we have used the open-source version for now."

"Spring Cloud is an open-source solution."
