We performed a comparison between Red Hat Satellite and SUSE Manager 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."One of the standout features of Intune is its seamless accessibility to work data, eliminating the need to be tied to an office or a desktop."
"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."
"The most valuable feature for us is the security, including risk analysis and patch management."
"The synchronization of Intune with other Microsoft solutions is a valuable feature."
"There has been a noticeable increase in productivity for both my organization and clients."
"We have found the solution is capable of scaling."
"Among the most valuable features are the Company Portal that is built into Intune, and the update rings so that we can manage what types of future updates the devices get."
"The most valuable features are the ones that make sure that the deployment is of a standard operating system and the Zero Touch deployment, which is very useful. This allows users to have an out of box experience."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is vulnerability management."
"Technical support has been good."
"The product allows us to handle patching for multiple servers at a time manually."
"The most valuable feature is the management of the distributed tool we use in the Red Hat Linux Servers."
"I like the integration with other tools."
"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."
"It has been a stable solution...It is a totally scalable solution."
"The compliance auditing helped me a lot."
"SUSE Manager is the best solution for maintaining the Linux environment"
"SUSE Manager helps to optimize operations at a reduced cost."
"When it comes to managing both Red Hat and SUSE environments, it provides the support for live patching, which is something I really, really appreciate."
"The setup is straightforward."
"For an existing customer who has an SCCM, it would need to be upgraded to an MECM first before I can introduce Microsoft Intune."
"An issue we have run into with Microsoft Endpoint Manager is that we cannot patch third-party products like Adobe and Chrome with it."
"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 think there should be a better tracking of the cell phones used on the Intune."
"I would like some integration with the Microsoft reporting platform Power BI."
"There is improvement needed in integrating with the installed Office solutions versions, such as Office 2019. The Office 365 integrates without a problem."
"It would be great if Intune offered better data protection controls for BYOD Windows PCs."
"When somebody has a customized application or their own company's application, we cannot deploy that application."
"There could be a feature to simplify the process without the requirement of any patch manager subscription."
"Improving integration could lead to a more unified management experience for multiple operating systems within our data center."
"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."
"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 would like the direct integration with insights to be re-established."
"The dashboard of Satellite is not encouraging. It does not adequately showcase all the functionality it offers."
"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."
"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 can be complex and difficult for users who are new to Linux and don't have any technical expertise."
"We sometimes have server issues and need to restart the service."
"I really would like to have a broader library of VCP's or playbooks that I can deploy."
"The initial stage is a bit complex, but after that, everything runs seamlessly."
