Enables management of multiple operating systems with a single license
The best feature is that it's a Microsoft product, so if anything goes wrong, we get quick support for anything required. Remote system functionality allows us to sit anywhere and take control of any device via remote management. We can enhance security for clients' laptops with built-in Microsoft Defender, which is available with the Microsoft Intune license. We use it for reporting purposes through endpoint analytics. When pushing scripting, there are two types available: remediation script and reservation script. Through endpoint analytics, you can push defender policies to clients. It helps with reporting, inventory updates, and monitoring tenant status health.

Empowers reliable and flexible management of complex configurations
Our customers primarily look for two main features: reliability and flexibility. They want tools that manage everything without issues and offer precise solutions for different users and applications on each machine. It is crucial for updates or migrations to be problem-free with current applications on any machine. Complex configurations for upgrades and application patches are handled expertly with Red Hat Satellite.

Though the initial setup phase is straightforward, its stability needs to improve
The solution's initial setup is straightforward. The deployment process took me around ten minutes to fifteen minutes. I can do the configuration. Setting up Eureka Servers and all those things, it will take three-four hours. For deployment, you need to add Spring Cloud plugin to a manual, and then you can start to build, and it will be built. It is not complex, so it is very straightforward since one just needs to add the plugin. Spring Cloud is a component. It is not a, like, tool or software since it is a free cloud, for which a Eureka Server is needed for configuration. So, it is a dependency you need to add to your Maven. Then, you can work on that. So, it will not take much time for engineers to do that.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"First of all, the integration with the rest of Microsoft's products is a major win."
"The Autopilot feature is the most valuable because it saves significant time on managing devices. We can ship devices globally, and users can set them up on their own. It's convenient."
"The solution is stable."
"What I appreciate most about Microsoft Intune is that we can manage multiple devices simultaneously in a single frame of time, and I can manage everything remotely from anywhere."
"Intune enables us to manage our devices from anywhere."
"Overall, I would rate Microsoft Intune as eight out of ten."
"Its price is reasonable. It is a part of our M365 suite."
"The most valuable feature is that we can manage workstations or Android devices remotely without needing the device to be connected to our local network."
"It has been a stable solution...It is a totally scalable solution."
"The most valuable features of Red Hat Satellite are its support, simplicity, and patch management."
"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."
"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."
"Patch management is, for sure, most valuable. For license management and patch management, I would rate it a 10 out of 10."
"The product is convenient to use."
"We've been getting reasonable support from Red Hat."
"Red Hat provides one of the best customer support services."
"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."
 

Cons

"Currently, Microsoft Intune's focus is mainly on Windows, but they can make much more improvement in terms of other platforms."
"Microsoft Intune is not as fast and extensive as traditional solutions such as SCCM and others."
"The configuration could be better by consolidating options and making it simpler."
"The Mac integration has room for improvement."
"The granular support for other device types in Microsoft Intune could be improved."
"The mobile management is good for iPhone and iPad, but the Apple Mac management needs improvement. That is probably because Microsoft does not have low-level access to Apple Mac hardware. If you are doing basic things, it is okay, but if you want to image Apple Macs and do things like that, then Jamf is much better."
"When Microsoft Intune is used with different android devices it does not always work as it is supposed to."
"While the ability to deploy applications at startup is reliable, the policy-based application deployment method has not reached the same level of consistency."
"Improving integration could lead to a more unified management experience for multiple operating systems within our data center."
"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."
"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 documentation could be better."
"They could make it more easy to use and improve the GUI so that it's more intuitive."
"The dashboard of Satellite is not encouraging. It does not adequately showcase all the functionality it offers."
"The solution's initial setup is a little bit tricky."
"It has not been significantly updated in a while."
"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."
"It would be beneficial for the framework to become more lightweight and efficient when transitioning to the cloud."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are licenses required for this solution. We enable licenses on the devices we need to manage."
"Generally, we get favorable discounts, so it's not too bad. Obviously, we're looking at decreasing those wherever we can to bring value back to the public purse because it's all charity based. It's all publicly funded."
"With our standard E5 agreement with Microsoft, there have been no pricing concerns. Introductory professional services, like a fast-track service, were included with our E5 membership, and there have been no additional costs."
"The price is very reasonable."
"Intune is inexpensive. It also comes bundled in some Office 365 licenses, so you can choose to purchase it separately or as a package."
"The licensing costs we leave up to the customer and these vary from one to another."
"We don't pay for Intune because it is bundled with the premium subscription to Office 365. It includes Intune and Defender. I don't have to buy two extra products to manage my enterprise."
"Microsoft's licensing is more flexible and adaptive than its competitors."
"The product is expensive."
"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."
"Our customers have to pay for the product's license."
"The solution is worth the cost."
"The price could be lower and more adaptive."
"The cost for a larger enterprise is probably almost always a boon."
"The licensing depends on the number of servers."
"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."
