Featured Reviews

Vikram - PeerSpot reviewer
Really good in terms of content delivery and network bandwidth optimization
Using Adaptiva is really straightforward. Users need to have some end-user computing and networking knowledge to use the solution. The project or implementation team we worked with had good technical knowledge. I really liked the solution's performance. Adaptiva helped us with network bandwidth optimization and content delivery. Overall, I rate the solution eight and a half out of ten.
AkashKamble - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Adaptiva is really good in terms of content delivery and network bandwidth optimization."
"We already use a lot of Microsoft products in our company, and therefore, it made sense to also use this product."
"If you need only to load a specific profile and you don't have deep security functionalities, et cetera, Intune is very nice and good."
"I particularly appreciate the administration and security features, which can be deployed easily."
"The most valuable features in Microsoft Intune for me are application deployment, Defender deployment, and asset management."
"The ability to (somewhat) manage full Windows 10 computers including EXE-based or MSI-based application deployments using Azure Active Directory as Identity."
"The main benefit for us with Microsoft Intune is centralized management of all devices, allowing us to apply one policy across the company from one location."
"With these improvements, I estimate we've reduced our patching costs by over $100,000 a month, as the MSP previously had to troubleshoot various issues manually."
"Previously, SCCM was used as an on-premise solution for clients, but now they are moving to Microsoft Intune as a cloud solution with better security and functions."
 

Cons

"It would be good if Adaptiva had everything on the cloud rather than having one server on-premises."
"The configuration could be better by consolidating options and making it simpler."
"It needs incorporation of Knox, ZeroTouch, etc."
"It could offer more attributes for authentication."
"The interface is not as modern as some competitors in terms of single pane of glass visibility across the entire landscape. It has a very Azure vibe and may not be as graphically appealing as other products."
"Intune could add more Linux security features and more integration with on-prem devices. The application deployments can also be improved."
"Microsoft Intune lacks live location tracking capabilities."
"I, as such, do not have any specific inputs or needs. However, there is always room for improvement when it comes to scalability."
"From my level of analysis, the feature I would prefer to see added to Microsoft Intune is extensive support. Anything that helps to diagnose the problem and solve it would be useful."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Its price is fair. It's a normal price. It isn't too expensive or too cheap."
"I rate Intune an eight out of ten for affordability. It's bundled with the 365 licensing, which is competitive overall."
"Microsoft Intune is not cost-effective as a standalone product."
"The pricing for Intune and the competitor products are all within the same range, there is no true advantage when it comes to cost."
"The pricing is good because customers are not complaining about it."
"There is a cost benefit of using Microsoft Intune because of the packaging with other Microsoft products."
"If you're subscribing to Premium or E3, there are no additional costs for Intune, it's included."
"I would rate the price a four out of ten with ten being the most expensive."
