Centralized device management has transformed security and streamlined remote provisioning
One area where Microsoft Intune can improve is the user interface. Sometimes the portal feels a bit complex and not very intuitive, especially for new users, and it can take time to find specific settings. Another point is troubleshooting. While logs are available, the diagnostic policies and sync issues can still be time-consuming and not very straightforward. I also feel that reporting could be more detailed and customizable. The built-in reports are helpful, but for deeper insights, I often need to rely on additional tools. Overall, it is a strong solution, but improving usability and troubleshooting experience would make it even better. While Microsoft Intune works very well within the Microsoft ecosystem, the integration of some third-party tools could be smoother and require less customization. Support is another area that could improve, as sometimes response times can be slow, and resolving complex issues may take longer than expected. In terms of features, I think more advanced automation and built-in remediation options would be helpful since common issues can be fixed automatically without manual intervention.

Consistent automation has improved deployments and supports efficient client-facing workflows
Deployment and other processes are feasible for me, making this a smooth process. The integration part is good. We can use multiple things by integrating with CI/CD pipelines, and this is very feasible for us. This allows us to do our work easily. The productivity is very good. CloudBees is a good and efficient tool. We can work in client-facing scenarios, and since clients have provided these types of tools, we are able to work on them effectively.

Migration streamlines processes while real-time monitoring opportunities remain
The migration feature of vCenter Configuration Manager is the most loved feature so far. This particular feature is valuable because it is vendor-oriented and works with VMware, which makes your life easy. Regarding system reliability, it is helpful. When you design it for the process, it will help you minimize the downtime, and it will help the reliability of the system. vCenter Configuration Manager has impacted my organization positively, but it's not fully deployed yet; we only use it for one or two tasks, and our team goes back to using the vCenter itself. However, further on, maybe we'll find a use case that will help us use the configuration manager.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Stable product that's easy to set up compared to other MDM products."
"If any user tries to access company data, it directly interacts with the conditional access policy. This helps us protect our data and set the criteria for how data can be accessed and shared."
"Microsoft Intune has been a time saver and reduces the time and effort IT admins have to invest."
"The most valuable feature is Intune's ability to push out updates for the security and antivirus. I also like Intune's copilot and the ability to automate processes. For example, if you have 5,000 employees who are issued new PCs and you need to set them up with everything they need."
"Microsoft Intune is a great product, and you should use it."
"The central administration con dashboard is very easy to use and provides very good oversight on all that needs to be monitored."
"By using Microsoft Intune we can control which websites the users can go to and it provides a secure environment for our employees using their laptops that are having access from home."
"Using this product has completely stopped DLP, so people cannot take material off of corporate machines or corporate imagines, and that's a huge benefit."
"CloudBees is a good and efficient tool."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that its GUI is quite simple."
"I find the automation feature most valuable. CloudBees is highly scalable and supports both small and large teams. The deployment process is also faster when compared to on-premise."
"Scalability largely depends on how the tool is set up within your infrastructure"
"One recent product feature that stands out is the pipeline explorer, which is providing significant value for us right now."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its flexibility."
"The most valuable features are Java features, microservice communication, payment validation, Jenkins Sonar, management master to CloudBees, Blue Ocean, JobConfig, and support."
"CloudBees assists by automating tasks, previously done manually, in the pipeline setup."
"The product's initial setup process is very simple."
"Our clients have better knowledge of how they have to provision hardware and when they will need to provision hardware, making for more predictable environments and preventing future problems."
"The interface is very user-friendly and the solution is simple to use."
"All of these features serve different purposes and are very useful."
"We prefer to pay for these products that are integrated and straightforward."
"The tool's scalability is good and easy, especially when compared to Microsoft Hyper-V."
"vCenter Configuration Manager is a very good product, it works well."
"I have used many different platforms during my career but the solution has always stood out."
 

Cons

"Microsoft Intune fails a lot when it comes to device compliance."
"In an upcoming release, I would like to see some kind of analytics report."
"The reporting dashboard is really limited."
"Its stability should also be improved. It is not very stable; sometimes, it shows some inconsistencies across tenants."
"It would be awesome if Microsoft opened their API so we could filter more properties. If we have to do anything outside of Intune that requires a third-party solution to talk back to it, we're very limited in what we can do. Trust your people. We promise not to break your stuff. Open it up just a tiny bit wider."
"At this time, I do not have any areas for improvement. I have heard about some downtime, but I am not in the local IT team."
"There were several bugs with stability."
"The only drawback or challenge is that it does not support server deployment."
"The platform could integrate better with other tools and support external tools directly."
"To use the tool, you need to be familiar with the tool itself and with how it will be incorporated into the culture."
"We did face some challenges, particularly with the infrastructure."
"We've noticed occasional issues with folder permissions changing unexpectedly. Specifically, permissions sometimes shift from the CloudBees user to the root user. This can cause pipeline failures, as pipelines require the correct CloudBees user permissions to execute properly."
"I noticed that CloudBees runs too slowly because some applications run more than 50 pipelines."
"There could be improvements in the ease of use."
"Sometimes, there are performance issues, however, they may be due to our organization's configuration."
"For CloudBees, I can suggest that the log is very high, which is very hectic for us when trying to find which error is coming."
"The cost of this solution should be improved."
"The dashboards in vCenter Configuration Manager are an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"vCenter Configuration Manager could improve by having more integration."
"Regarding the licensing part, previously I was able to acquire the license with an eight-core configuration. Now it requires a 16-core setup, which is difficult for customers who have fewer connections to the servers."
"The functions are not running in HTML 5, this is a problem."
"The technical support is not as responsive as it could be. They are slow to respond to our issues with a resolution. There should be online chat support added."
"The tool needs to improve its interface."
"I think the logging side should be improved because it's pretty difficult to keep up to date VMware and with vCenter."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Microsoft Intune's pricing is reasonable."
"Intune is moderately expensive. You can get the license bundled with Office 365 E3 or E5 licenses. The E5s are a bit expensive, but you get some cheaper solutions with Intune."
"Microsoft Intune's costliness stems from licensing fees and the overhead associated with its management, user experience, and device remediation."
"The product is expensive."
"The pricing needs improvement."
"Our Office 365 Business Premium license, including Office 365 and Intune Management, offers excellent value."
"The cost is somewhat on the higher side, particularly when considering certain price points, especially in markets like India."
"While Microsoft Intune boasts a wide range of features, its user-friendliness and bundled licensing cost are key considerations for me."
Information not available
"There is a free license for the standard version. Their enterprise version is expensive. I would advise starting with one server and working your way up as you go. The enterprise version provides support."
"Price-wise, the product is an affordable one. The additional expenses, apart from the licensing costs of the solution, are attached to the support a user wants to receive from vCenter Configuration Manager's end."
"The product price and licensing fees are reasonable, especially when compared to other products in the market."
"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten. The product has increased its cost by at least two to three times its previous cost."
"I am not knowledgeable with the pricing of the product."
"While the pricing is reasonable for large corporations, it presents a substantial financial challenge for medium-sized businesses."
"The product is highly-priced."
"We have to pay for the whole bundle and individual pricing is not available. One license costs us almost $200 every year."
