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

"Microsoft Endpoint Manager is not expensive overall, especially for small environments."
"When comparing Microsoft Intune to Jamf, Microsoft Intune is superior."
"In terms of technical support, you will get an immediate response."
"Microsoft Intune is a tool designed for enterprise customers to protect enterprise data from leakage or sharing."
"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."
"I really appreciate the features in Microsoft Intune, including the Intune Suite Cloud PKI."
"I can reach devices or computers over the internet. I don't need to worry about the network connectivity between the offices. I can manage any device. That is the most important part."
"Intune's unified endpoint management platform is invaluable."
"Satellite gives administrators the ability to target deployments and only send out the updates or provision updates to certain groups."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the management of the distributed tool we use in the Red Hat Linux Servers."
"It cuts down significantly on the administrative time it takes to patch systems in a large environment."
"I'm currently transitioning to the new version 8. It seems necessary to remove some complexities, such as authentication with hypervisors, to streamline the process."
"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

"Intune's areas for improvement revolve around security and certificate management."
"The solution could improve its flexibility."
"Intune could be improved by expanding its third-party patching capabilities for a more comprehensive solution."
"Since GMS is unavailable in China, we currently rely on device administrator enrollment for managing Android devices there."
"The configuration could be better by consolidating options and making it simpler."
"An issue we have run into with Microsoft Endpoint Manager is that we cannot patch third-party products like Adobe and Chrome with it."
"There needs to be more support for Mac operating systems."
"Microsoft Intune needs to support out of the box Apple Managed Device and Apple Business Managed Device with zero-touch deployment capabilities, which is something competitors provide."
"The solution's initial setup is a little bit tricky."
"Red Hat Satellite's pricing needs improvement."
"It should basically include a complete slew of system management and monitoring tools such as Nagios. It should be a single pane of glass that gives us a complete solution. It is a good solution, but it is missing a few important things. We're using Capsule for DMVs on other secured zones. Capsule is a part of Satellite to be a proxy of sorts."
"I hope to see improvements in integration capabilities within Red Hat Satellite in the next release. Integration exists currently, but it requires programming knowledge to utilize the APIs effectively. This process is complex and not straightforward for those unfamiliar with the APIs."
"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."
"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."
"Regarding the product's ability to support third-party tools, Red Hat doesn't support all the layers from the open-source version of Linux."
"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."
"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."
"It would be beneficial for the framework to become more lightweight and efficient when transitioning to the cloud."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Microsoft Intune has a user-based subscription model. You can go for a monthly or a yearly payment."
"As a partner, we always look for how we can generate more revenue from a consulting point of view, but I do not see any complaints from the customer side regarding pricing, so they are satisfied with it."
"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."
"Intune is linked with Microsoft. We can deploy the Microsoft E365 license to users by Intune. There are different types of licenses, such as device administrator licenses, E5 licenses for device enrollment manually, and P1 and p2 licenses for device enrollment automatically. These are the licenses required for the administration."
"In terms of the product price and licensing costs, my company finds the product to be reasonably priced."
"We work with the subscription rather than a server license. I think it's economical this way because we don't have to have a server license for that, and I think that works in our favor."
"Intune comes with the licensing that is common for large organizations. However, Microsoft has recently released many add-ons that are very expensive, especially for large organizations or corporations."
"Its licensing model is not complex, but it is very expensive compared to other solutions. They can bring more models and reduce the pricing. They should allow customers to select the features they want and price it accordingly."
"Our customers have to pay for the product's license."
"Red Hat Satellite is a little bit of an expensive product."
"The tool's pricing is high."
"The solution is worth the cost."
"Red Hat Satellite is expensive."
"The cost for a larger enterprise is probably almost always a boon."
"Red Hat Satellite is expensive, but if we have more than 50 or 60 VMs, we cannot do away with the solution."
"The product is very expensive for our customers."
"Currently, we are not required to pay for licenses."
"Spring Cloud is an open-source solution."
"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."
