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

"Intune provides full endpoint visibility and IT control across device platforms. You can individualize it for your company with the Intune Company Portal app."
"Microsoft Tech Support is good, providing solid support."
"It has helped with compliance. It has helped to ensure that devices comply with the organization's policy. If they are not compliant and secure, they cannot access the resources."
"The Microsoft Windows Autopilot and Defender policies are the most valuable features of this solution."
"Autopilot is the most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune."
"When managing a large number of devices in an organization, it becomes easy to handle them on one platform using Microsoft Intune."
"The ability to deploy patches and automate software deployments to end-user devices is very useful."
"Stable solution at a good price."
"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."
"Red Hat Satellite's most valuable features include subscription management for various servers and environments. It allows organizations to group servers according to their patch levels, enabling administrators to manage and patch servers based on their specific environments."
"It has been a stable solution...It is a totally scalable solution."
"It plays a significant role in managing the lifecycle of our systems and ensures that we can effectively control and update the software versions to align with our organization's needs."
"Technical support has been good."
"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."
"Patch management is, for sure, most valuable. For license management and patch management, I would rate it a 10 out of 10."
"The product allows us to handle patching for multiple servers at a time manually."
"It offers excellent scalability."
"Spring Cloud integrates well."
"The solution's initial setup is straightforward. The deployment process took me around ten minutes to fifteen minutes."
 

Cons

"Enrollment into the Microsoft Intune service can still get easier, especially for legacy-managed systems, such as how we get it from a GPO or an SCCM configuration into Intune."
"The pricing can be expensive if you are not combining it with other products."
"The solution can have some compliance problems in general and the end-point user can bypass easily the company policies in Intune."
"They could also make it easier to use because there are some other products that may be easier to use in terms of the look and feel of the dashboard."
"Each feature has a separate license, making logistics and cost management difficult if not strategically bundled together."
"Intune's privilege management feature, while beneficial, is less intuitive than other Intune features, making it challenging to use."
"At this time, I do not have any areas for improvement. I have heard about some downtime, but I am not in the local IT team."
"Sometimes, customers compare it with AirWatch, but the concept of Intune is different from other solutions. It's an application management app. It gets a bit difficult to explain it to customers, but it's not a product limitation. It takes a presale document or presentation to explain it to customers."
"Red Hat Satellite's pricing needs improvement."
"The dashboard of Satellite is not encouraging. It does not adequately showcase all the functionality it offers."
"It is difficult to update and maintain."
"I would like to see the scalability, user interface, and reporting features improved and for the solution to be simplified. Instead of having complex engineering, it should be simple for the user."
"The product's automation capabilities need enhancement."
"The solution's initial setup is a little bit tricky."
"There could be a feature to simplify the process without the requirement of any patch manager subscription."
"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."
"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

"Microsoft Intune costs about $7 per user per month, which is somewhat on the pricier end. That said, it's a reliable product, so it's fair."
"The purchase of the product was handled by someone else."
"On a scale of one to ten with one being the cheapest, the cost of Microsoft Intune is a five."
"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."
"There is a license needed for this solution and it is either included in one of the enterprise license agreements. Microsoft licensing is a mathematical institute, it could be quite complex. We tend to ask specialized organizations to research what the most profitable way it would be for us to use licenses in the organizations."
"The price is very reasonable."
"Microsoft Intune's costliness stems from licensing fees and the overhead associated with its management, user experience, and device remediation."
"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."
"The product is expensive."
"The licensing depends on the number of servers."
"Our customers have to pay for the product's license."
"Red Hat Satellite is a little bit of an expensive product."
"Its price is good. They call it subscription, not license, and it is on a yearly basis. There is only one subscription, and that's it."
"The tool's pricing is high."
"Red Hat Satellite is expensive."
"The price could be lower and more adaptive."
"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."
"Currently, we are not required to pay for licenses."
"Spring Cloud is an open-source solution."
