We performed a comparison between HashiCorp Terraform and Spring Cloud 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."Internet-based access with security is what I have found to be most valuable. It is also a stable and scalable solution."
"Intune's feature that I have found most valuable is its auto-pilot feature."
"It's easy to deploy a configuration or policy to a system, especially when you don't have Azure AD. Now we are talking to all these small and medium-sized customers who don't necessarily have an on-premise Windows Active Directory. If they have invested in Office 365 Premium, this functionality becomes available to them."
"Maturity makes it a stable product."
"The performance of Microsoft Intune is good."
"Agile and easy to deploy MDM solution that covers the maximum number of policies. Stable, scalable, and with knowledgeable technical support."
"The initial setup is not complex."
"The most valuable feature for us is the security, including risk analysis and patch management."
"The solution helps us save a lot of costs."
"The ARM template is very easy to work with, which is a big help to us."
"It is a stable solution."
"It is easy to recreate an exact duplicate or output of an environment."
"This solution makes it easier to manage a multi-cloud environment and have your entire infrastructure as code."
"It allows for the abstraction of the work away from the developer into automated processes."
"The most valuable feature is the great community support."
"The environment is very good. That's awesome."
"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."
"Intune should be much more granular in terms of supporting more Android cellular devices."
"We only have major classifications for iOS and Android, but there are different brands that have different cycles of updates. If they can fine-tune it to make it more brand-specific, that would be even better."
"In the past, I raised some tickets for the enhancement feature, which was missing in Intune."
"It's the granularity: 'Is your firewall on? Is BitLocker on?' It's not amazing granularity. But I've looked into other products, like Duo, and they're all similar."
"A new Intune feature allows application packaging, but it incurs additional licensing costs for a significant number of applications."
"The initial setup is a little bit complex."
"I'm still playing around with it and haven't had any issues with the product yet, but support can definitely be improved."
"I would like the ability to install the agent on devices from suppliers, which would enable us to implement a zero-trust strategy for guest devices."
"I still struggle a bit when configuring VPNs when we have multiple rules. If we have five or six virtual private clouds and we have to give rights between those multiple VPCs, we can have big problems. I think it was a learning curve and then we improved it."
"Terraform should also support YAML language, which is more user-friendly than HCL. They should also add a GUI, so you don't need to memorize all the commands. A GUI would enable us to do everything with a click of a button."
"They have added a feature that helps us to import existing resources to our workspace, but if they can help us to create the code for the import, as well, then it would be a great addition."
"I would like to see a short-term option for a short-term plan."
"When a misconfiguration or drift occurs, fixing the issue can be difficult. For instance, if there is a change in API calls while a script is running, it can be challenging to make corrections. This may require additional review and modifications to the code. I recall an instance where an industry budget creation process was altered, and it took significant time to amend the code. In fact, I had to add five or six different script portions to resolve the issue."
"It would be nice if they could put our infrastructure on graphics or at least provide a map of our infrastructure."
"Community tech support could be a little better."
"The state locking functionality can be improved. In certain situations, we have to force-unlock the state, which sometimes does not work. When that happens, we have to manually go to the state backend and remove that particular state, which is kind of a cumbersome process. It should also have more functions, more expressions, and support for more products."
"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."
"If there's a dashboard like the ones provided by Apigee or Kong, that will be useful."
