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.

Has simplified hardware issue identification but needs integrated communication options

We have monitoring capabilities and we are monitoring some network tools from Cisco Meraki Systems Manager (MDM+EMM) and troubleshooting as well. I am currently working with version MR 32.1.4. Policy involves connecting mostly through emails, as we don't have any special kind of policy features. If any alert comes, we connect via mail. We don't utilize the geolocation tracking feature. The unified dashboard helps me simplify device management for my team based on the location, as we have configured devices from many different countries. We give the device's name based on the location, allowing us to identify easily in the dashboard. Regarding operational cost savings, it is cost-saving because in other companies, they use different tools for different networks, such as one for Windows, another for Linux, and a different one for VMware. We use all the systems including Windows, Linux, and networking under Cisco, Centreon, and Cisco Meraki Systems Manager (MDM+EMM), which is very cost-efficient. Regarding pricing and licensing of Cisco Meraki Systems Manager (MDM+EMM), I don't have information about that, as we are from the technical department. Details about subscription and quotation come from another department. I rate this solution 8 out of 10.

Easy to use and set up with easy mobile access to reports

The initial setup is quite straightforward and simple. It only takes one day to set up. At the time of SAP implementation, it's a part of the portfolio. It's a one-time activity that you have just implemented in your ERP boxes. After that, you have to install a mobile application on Android or iOS, and you can use your user ID and password credentials, and you can access your reports. Once it's installed, you only need one IT person to align things. It doesn't take a big team. They can generate and change reports as necessary. If you need to change certain things, you need an SAP developer. There is no admin team requirement, and you can access it from anywhere.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I have seen a return on investment right from the start of the tool's usage."

"One of our clients migrated the model workplace based on Intune, achieving a 78 percent cost reduction, which is quite a lot."

"Microsoft Intune has been a time saver and reduces the time and effort IT admins have to invest."

"Intune's integration with Defender and other security solutions is valuable because it offers a view into different security vulnerabilities and enables us to secure them more effectively."

"We like Intune's Autopilot functionality, which enables one-touch deployment. Dynamic grouping is another feature we find valuable working in academia. We have people in buckets based on their roles in the university, such as faculty, staff, alum, or grad. Sometimes, they will fit into multiple places, and dynamic grouping helps with that."

"First of all, the integration with the rest of Microsoft's products is a major win."

"Intune's feature that I have found most valuable is its auto-pilot feature."

"We are able to deliver applications fast to our mobile workloads so that users can make use of it instantly."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"I have found the location analytics feature that is built into the APs to be the most valuable. It allows you to compare data and to single out individuals who are repeatedly coming into your store. We can observe different trends. This is what separates it from a lot of the other solutions."

"The solution is used for monitoring and configuring access points and BYOD (bring your own device)."

"The ability to push out applications is a great aspect of the solution."

"The cloud dashboard's analytics data is particularly valuable, giving me insights into user activities and making it easy to track and manage devices."

"It's a very easy solution for the most part, it's very easy to implement and very easy to administer."

"The best features of Cisco Meraki Systems Manager include its simplicity and ease of use. It is straightforward to set up and manage devices compared to other products."

"Systems Manager is another cloud service from Cisco Meraki that helps you to manage all the devices in your organization, so you can deploy apps to all your devices around the world in a few clicks and in a few minutes."

"The web portal provides status reporting and ease of configuration."

More Cisco Meraki Systems Manager (MDM+EMM) pros

"Everything is available to you from your handset."

Cons

"Improvements can be made by allowing server integrations since it is an area where the product currently has shortcomings."

"I have not been satisfied with it, and I am planning to change it soon. There are a lot of updates coming from Microsoft that suddenly affect our security policies."

"In terms of the admin experience, it is straightforward, but the Windows enrollment experience could be improved. Sometimes, for enrollment, we have to reset devices and re-enroll them. Just configuring Windows, Azure, or Active Directory doesn't enroll the devices. We need easy enrollment for Windows."

"Reporting could be improved. It needs to be more expensive and robust."

"I have experienced downtime, bugs, and glitches. I rate it a seven because when we have bugs or instability in Microsoft Intune, we need to wait for the backend from Microsoft Intune to resolve issues and we can't deliver solutions to clients because we need to wait for action plans and related processes."

"Sometimes, it takes time to synchronize the policies between the portal and the devices, you don't have a way to estimate how long it will take to deploy. You have some kind of gray area, where it can deploy in 30 minutes or three days."

"I have a lot of Apple products in my environment. It would be nice to have an improved integration of Apple products with Microsoft Intune without Jam."

"It needs certificate provisioning for S/MIME purposes."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"The tool's pricing needs to be more flexible like Cisco's."

"I would rate my experience with the initial setup a four out of ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy. It is more difficult."

"It would be beneficial to have better integration with other OS."

"Linux compatibility needs improvement."

"It doesn't seem to be able to establish some VPN tunnels with other devices in a particular way that such as an ASA can do for us."

"The solution can be expensive."

"Because Cisco has improved a lot and is competing with other technologies that are innovative and brand new to the market, the only improvements they have to make are to keep up with the current competition and remain competitive with other solutions."

"They need to allocate more energy in terms of their offering to devices that are not Apple devices."

More Cisco Meraki Systems Manager (MDM+EMM) cons

"We would like it if SAP could integrate the transactional mode as well so that users can perform transactional jobs by mobile-only."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"Previously the price was $4 per month per user. Now it's $2.25 per user per month."

"While Microsoft charges for actual usage, it lacks discount options."

"The product is relatively pricey, but considering its benefits, I'd say it's fair. The benefits outweigh the expensive licensing fees, especially for large organizations, but medium-sized and smaller businesses may be unable to afford it."

"The cost is somewhat on the higher side, particularly when considering certain price points, especially in markets like India."

"The cost of the license and the features are justified for myself as a technical person."

"It's bundled with Business Premium and an E3 license, which is beneficial. If you have to pay extra, it's pricey, but with the bundled package, it's acceptable. They recently increased the Business Premium pricing, which we don't appreciate. The price increase and yearly commitment are causing some problems for us."

"Microsoft Intune is reasonably priced for large organizations that already have Microsoft Enterprise licenses, but it is less affordable for smaller businesses."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"My customers at times have issues with the price of the solution. It is expensive, but overall it is worth it. The licensing model cost is based on how many devices you require."

"The cost of installing this solution can be more expensive depending on who is doing the installation. Cisco is very expensive."

"The price is high for the market."

"It's extremely competitive and very good for a product in this sphere."

"Cisco Meraki Systems Manager is an expensive solution."

"This product is reasonably priced."

"The storage is affordable and the system has some price-related issues. Therefore, keeping the price in mind, I would rate it seven out of ten."

"Meraki MDM is the cheapest solution we have used."
