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.
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.

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."
"It helps implement conditional access policies to restrict mobile users from accessing potentially dangerous emails."
"I would say the biggest benefit is the single-pane view. There's no jumping around multiple UI's to do your overall management."
"The most useful features in Microsoft Intune are the policy enforcement and conditional access."
"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."
"Intune's security features for Apple iOS and Mac OS are helpful. We can check enrollment, manage public and private settings, and manage the organization's data using security key features."
"The solution is fully integrated with the Microsoft platform and the Autopilot feature, which is a unique feature."
"The most useful features in Microsoft Intune are the policy enforcement and conditional access. These features make our operations easier from a company perspective."
"Microsoft's cloud comes with a lot of extra features that are free of charge."
 

Cons

"It would be good if Adaptiva had everything on the cloud rather than having one server on-premises."
"I rate Microsoft support four out of 10. Support is one area where Microsoft needs to improve a lot. I recently raised a ticket for a Microsoft Azure issue, and it took two and a half weeks for support to reply. They need to improve support across their entire catalog of products."
"There's a significant discrepancy in Intune pricing between tenants."
"There should be more focus on mobile device security and integration."
"The product needs to upgrade itself when the server is overloaded."
"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."
"Customer service used to be better. In the last couple of years, support has not been very good, even with Premier and Premium support. It's been very hit-or-miss."
"Microsoft Intune lacks the ability to provide seamless remote assistance or remote control."
"The solution needs to improve reporting. Sometimes, it shows double or triple entries of the same thing, which affects the count's accuracy. Also, some applications onboarded in Microsoft Intune do not get updated. When we look for solutions online, there is often no clear answer."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing for Intune and the competitor products are all within the same range, there is no true advantage when it comes to cost."
"There is a cost benefit of using Microsoft Intune because of the packaging with other Microsoft products."
"The solution is cost-efficient."
"Previously the price was $4 per month per user. Now it's $2.25 per user per month."
"Every customer used to purchase licenses based on their needs."
"Intune is included with our F3 and E5 licenses."
"Intune is linked with Microsoft. We can deploy the Microsoft E365 license to users by Intune. There are different types of licenses, such as device administrator licenses, E5 licenses for device enrollment manually, and P1 and p2 licenses for device enrollment automatically. These are the licenses required for the administration."
"Pricing depends on the features. Microsoft offers special packages if there are more than 10,000 users, and you may be able to get a reduced rate."
