Executive SummaryUpdated on Mar 9, 2025

Microsoft Configuration Manager and VMware Aria Automation are major competitors in IT service management and automation platforms. Microsoft Configuration Manager holds an advantage in centralized management within Microsoft environments, whereas VMware Aria Automation is superior in multi-cloud flexibility and diverse platform integration.

Features: Microsoft Configuration Manager offers comprehensive deployment capabilities, including operating system deployment, application pushing, and robust reporting. It serves as a central console that ensures consistency across devices. In contrast, VMware Aria Automation emphasizes automation and flexibility within multi-cloud environments, integrating seamlessly with third-party tools and services, enhancing operational efficiencies.

Room for Improvement: Microsoft Configuration Manager needs improved integration with non-Microsoft products and enhanced reporting accuracy. Additionally, simplifying the deployment process and bolstering PowerShell support could be beneficial. VMware Aria Automation faces challenges such as high costs, a steep learning curve, and integration complexities. Improved documentation and deployment processes, along with better third-party integration, remain areas for enhancement.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Microsoft Configuration Manager is widely deployed across on-premises, private, and hybrid-cloud environments and supported by extensive resources, making its technical support highly responsive. VMware Aria Automation, however, is typically deployed in on-premises and private cloud settings and presents more deployment complexity, with users desiring better customer service experiences.

Pricing and ROI: Microsoft Configuration Manager is seen as expensive due to its licensing model but can offer cost efficiencies through Microsoft's bundled offerings, producing high ROI through optimization efforts. VMware Aria Automation is also costly, yet it provides strong automation features. When used extensively, it generates significant ROI across complex IT environments.

Joseph Merusi - PeerSpot reviewer
Everything has worked better since we started using it
Sometimes the syncing is inconsistent. I'm confident that the devices are checking in every eight hours, but sometimes the devices aren't picking up the settings as quickly as I would expect. Some features haven't been updated in a while, and Microsoft doesn't seem interested in developing them. Unless you talk to an engineer, you don't know whether there will be an update. There are communication issues, so you might start working with a feature without knowing if it will be deprecated six months from now. Some reporting areas still need development. For example, I noticed that the reporting for driver updates is still confusing.

Deployment recovery works well but requires configuration improvements
While I do not use the product frequently, many issues were due to configuration rather than the product itself. I cannot give an exact recommendation as it is not my area of responsibility. The team that uses it finds it adequate. It is presently good enough for us not to investigate other options. Overall, I rate the product a six out of ten.

Le Quang Long - PeerSpot reviewer
Significantly streamlined operations with good automation that helps with simplifying workflows
It helps me build a big catalog and provide it to my end users. It helps us automate the workflow of creating many VMs and the TensorFlow key method. I do not meet many people to operate it live beforehand. It operates for both of my products, but as a product, it is complicated to integrate and automate with other products.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the policy CSPs."
"Intune's integration with Microsoft 365 is exceptional."
"The mobile device management is very useful."
"The ability to block and erase remote devices is valuable to us, especially when those devices are lost."
"One of the most valuable aspects of Microsoft Intune is its seamless integration with Azure Active Directory, offering capabilities akin to Group Policy Objects."
"As an IT administrator, I appreciate Intune's ability to implement granular device-level policies for our organization's employees."
"For our clients, the conditional access feature along with different compliance policies that they can set is valuable."
"In terms of technical support, you will get an immediate response."
More Microsoft Intune pros
"The solution doesn't require any maintenance from our end because it is a cloud-based solution and Microsoft takes care of everything."
"I like Mircosoft's technical support. Microsoft has a few updates, like some of the critical KBs. They are published within the interval time, and in case of an escalation on the client missions, we will raise a ticket with the Microsoft team. They will create a hotfix or a critical update. They will chat with us, and that is one thing I like about Microsoft. Whenever any issues occur at my organization, they will help you out soon as possible within the SLA."
"One of the standout features of SCCM is its application management capabilities. It allows us to create packages efficiently and deploy them to specific groups within our network. This streamlined process has significantly improved our software distribution workflows."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager is the availability of being able to manage the Microsoft estate. It handles many areas, such as asset management and tracking."
"We're a Microsoft-centric organization, so we are happy with the integration between products."
"The main, clear valuable feature is updating the latest, patches and updates from Windows. This is the main feature we really utilize a lot."
"SCCM is a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager is it's incredibly simple to configure and execute changes in bulk, allowing for seamless deployment. With this solution, you can easily track the status of all modifications and send them with ease, making it a comprehensive and efficient solution for any necessary adjustments."
More Microsoft Configuration Manager pros
"Among the valuable features are the ease and speed of creating the VMs. Originally, we provisioned them manually and it would take us two days to do the provisioning... but with the automation, we are able to provision a VM with the click of a button, within seconds. It cut down on the time as well as cut down on the expense and employee cost in provisioning."
"We also use it to pre-install the applications that the people selected when they ordered the machine, so they get a fully functional machine."
"SaltStack has given us the ability to deal with systems at scale and rectify issues at scale."
"The most valuable feature is vRA’s ability to integrate whether with additional VMware vRealize suites or other vendors' cloud products."
"The benefits are that it gives you a heads-up display and dashboard of the way everything's running. The ability to automate around those tasks is really where we get the value."
"Instead of deploying a VM from a template and going through the process of configuring that VM, with vRA we're able to click once and it does everything: grabs an IP, joins it to the domain, loads whatever configuration agents are needed. It does all of that without manual intervention."
"Having an enterprise service catalog and being able to automate various parts of our infrastructure are among the most important components."
"The extensibility of the solution when it comes to writing your own ABX actions is a valuable feature. You can write it in PowerShell, JavaScript, or Python, which is great."
More VMware Aria Automation pros
 

Cons

"It would be helpful if there was proactive remediation."
"A new Intune feature allows application packaging, but it incurs additional licensing costs for a significant number of applications."
"One big problem with Microsoft is that they're changing the names of the products quite often, or they're quite consistently doing so. Intune is now Endpoint administration. Constantly switching the user interface or the administrative interface makes it quite hard to keep pace. If you are on a two-week holiday and you come back and look at the same screen you have looked at for the last couple of months, it looks different, which is annoying. Changing things around all the time doesn't make it easy."
"Intune should improve the management of non-Microsoft devices. It would be better to manage Mac, Android, and other non-Microsoft operating system devices within the same Intune interface."
"Intune could add more Linux security features and more integration with on-prem devices. The application deployments can also be improved."
"The closest Microsoft Intune can be to GPOs, the better. There needs to be more granularity on application deployments. However, they have done better recently with the application deployments."
"It just doesn't handle software updates well at all by itself. You need to be a scripting wizard to make those happen properly, or you use third-party tools. The Windows feature updates are very difficult to implement. I would like to see a proprietary built-in remote control tool. I know that they have Team Viewer integrated, but it is not seamless. It would be nice if they had a seamless remote desktop capability directly from the Intune console."
"What would make this product better is adding more security policies and features in the next upgrade."
More Microsoft Intune cons
"They need to improve the support for the Mac operating system."
"I want the system to provide some dependency relations. I would also like to see the relationship between different machines."
"It should provide the ability to remotely connect to mobile devices. There are some solutions that are doing that, but with Microsoft Intune, the only way to remotely connect to devices outside the organization and mobile devices is by using TeamViewer. It is pretty strange for a big company like Microsoft to not have something for that."
"Not everything is readily available, and there are a lot of commands that are only executable via PowerShell."
"The tool's deployment is difficult. Microsoft needs to improve documentation with videos."
"Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager can improve by allowing us to schedule the scripts, we don't have a script scheduling option and have to do it manually."
"With Microsoft Premier Support, you get what you pay for. There's Third Tier Support that you pay for. If you pay for that, you get excellent support, and if you don't pay for that, then you get the less experienced staff."
"There were misconfigurations by our team rather than issues with the product itself. However, it does seem a bit buggy from time to time, based on what I have heard."
More Microsoft Configuration Manager cons
"The deployment mechanisms for the initial deployment of the product line lacks the appropriate documentation to give someone who's never used it before... There might be cases where someone wants to go to the website, go to the doc section, and do a step-by-step on how to deploy it. That's really not as brushed-up as other documents I've seen that they have. That would definitely be an improvement on their end."
"It has a learning curve."
"It is not intuitive or user-friendly. It's complicated as heck. We actually hired VMware Professional Services to come in. I understand the newer version, which we're not quite on yet, is easier and that the interface is better. But the product is really a profession unto itself. The user interface could be improved on."
"The setup needs coding. It's not easy. It's not straightforward."
"I would like to see more out-of-the-box blueprints and workflows for the rest of VMware's products and its portfolio."
"7.5 is not user-friendly, in fact, it's a nightmare. They changed everything on the graphic user interface, the mode where the user interacts with the product."
"Its configuration process could be better."
"This solution could be integrated with more hardware for an improved offering."
More VMware Aria Automation cons
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Microsoft licenses are costly."
"The E5 license is expensive."
"It is cheap, but as compared to Google, it is costly. Google is cheaper, but quality-wise, Microsoft Intune is better."
"Intune is included in the Microsoft 365 licensing package that we have."
"The pricing is inherently reasonable, as Microsoft leverages market insights to maintain the total cost of ownership at around ninety to ninety-five percent of what would be incurred in an on-premise scenario."
"Intune is included with our F3 and E5 licenses."
"It's affordable. In comparison to the competitors, the price depends on what features you need from Intune, but it's affordable. There are no hidden costs, but there are some features that go for a premium price. Those are the add-ons for which you have to pay extra."
"There is a license needed to use the solution and we are on an annual license."
More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice
"I rate the price of Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager an eight out of ten."
"Presently, I am using a free trial version."
"There is an annual license needed to use the solution."
"Pricing and licensing are a downside of SCCM. It's expensive. I'd have to confirm this, but I think they changed the licensing to core-based instead of socket-based. It's not cheap, because you have to buy the software, you have to buy SQL. Another thing we learned from talking to Microsoft is that they provide you a license for SQL if you run it on the same box as the primary server. If you run it outside that box, you have to buy SQL. Microsoft does recommend you running it on the same box because of performance. But then, in order to run SQL, SCCM, and everything on the same box, you better have some resources. It's an expensive solution. There's no doubt about it."
"When you compare this solution with other tools in the market you might actually find a lot of variation in the pricing and that's why people opt for the other tools rather than Microsoft tools."
"There is not a license needed to use the solution."
"The licensing is good because they have various options, depending on what you are looking for."
"The solution is expensive. Microsoft Configuration Manager would likely be considered high-priced for small businesses because they may not fully utilize all of its features and capabilities."
More Microsoft Configuration Manager pricing and cost advice
"We have seen significant ROI. We used to have physical servers, it took 90 days to get a server, order it, buy it, and get it in. We have it down to 10 minutes, building a server with virtualization, and now that's too slow. So, we let the customer do it at their speed. Therefore, it is pretty much up in a couple of minutes and they have a server."
"VMware Aria Automation is expensive."
"I'm very interested in the integration with Puppet. However, my organization doesn't have the funding for something like Puppet right now. If VMware would integrate that feature set (Puppet) into vRA. That would be very awesome."
"It is pricey for what you get."
"I would rate it high because, compared to other solutions, VMware’s pricing is quite expensive. VMware products have become significantly more costly in recent years, leading to higher costs."
"The solution is free of cost."
"It made the provisioning of the virtual machines easier and faster. We can react more quickly to customers' demands."
"The solution has helped to increase infrastructure, agility, speed, and provisioning in the time to market."
