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.

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."
"Intune's most valuable feature is its centralized management capability."
"I like the group policy management feature, which performs application monitoring and device enrollment."
"The reporting and analytics features in Microsoft Intune have been a lifesaver."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is its scalability."
"Users can make screenshots, and devices only need the minimal version of iOS."
"We already use a lot of Microsoft products in our company, and therefore, it made sense to also use this product."
"Its security is most valuable. It gives us a way to secure devices, not only those that are steady. We do have a few tablets and other devices, and it is a way for us to secure these devices and manage them. We know they're out there and what's their status. We can manage their life cycle and verify that they're updated properly."
"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."
 

Cons

"It would be good if Adaptiva had everything on the cloud rather than having one server on-premises."
"Sometimes, the process is unsuccessful when we attempt to reset a device and wipe the data using Intune."
"The synchronization of devices takes a significant amount of time, between 15 minutes and two hours. Microsoft should work on reducing this sync time to improve efficiency."
"The reporting dashboard is really limited."
"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."
"Intune could be enhanced by automating application upgrades, similar to how it automates operating system upgrades."
"However, with Microsoft, it takes a lot longer, and I’m not getting quick resolutions. Sometimes, I find myself bouncing around between different support groups."
"It would help if administrators could pinpoint the exact location of a stolen device to help law enforcement retrieve it and apprehend the suspect."
"I would like to see Intune improve its handling of hybrid domain joins."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"There is a license needed to use the solution and we are on an annual license."
"I rate Intune an eight out of ten for affordability. It's bundled with the 365 licensing, which is competitive overall."
"For organizations that are a Microsoft shop, the pricing is compelling."
"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."
"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."
"Pricing can be improved."
"I would rate the price a four out of ten with ten being the most expensive."
"Its price is fair. It's a normal price. It isn't too expensive or too cheap."
