Centralized device management has automated onboarding and improves remote security compliance
One thing I feel Microsoft Intune could improve is troubleshooting visibility. In many cases, when a policy or application deployment fails, the error messages are a bit generic. So, admins still spend time checking logs manually or testing on devices one by one. Compared to the simplicity of deployment, troubleshooting sometimes feels less mature. I also think reporting and real-time monitoring could be stronger. The dashboard gives useful information, but in large environments, many teams still depend on additional tools or scripts for deeper reporting and analytics. If I had to focus on one area first, I would probably choose troubleshooting and reporting. Deployment through Microsoft Intune is generally straightforward, but when something fails, identifying the exact root cause can still take more time than expected. Error messages are sometimes too generic, and admins often have to dig through logs, sync status, or multiple portals to understand what actually happened. I think user experience and policy management could also improve further. Microsoft Intune has become much better over the years, but sometimes the admin portal still feels fragmented because certain configurations open in different sections or redirect to older interfaces. For new admins, especially, it can take time to understand where everything is located. Another thing is policy conflict handling. In larger organizations, multiple device policies, compliance rules, and configuration profiles can overlap. When conflicts happen, the visibility is not always very clear, so admins spend time figuring out which policy actually won or caused the issue.

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.

Information Technology Operations Lead at TT Systems LLC
Compliance management has improved efficiency but licensing changes pose challenges
I am not using any advanced features or AI. I am employing a basic VMware vCenter setup for my infrastructure. Scalability has no major limitations, and the solution is efficient. Overall, it's satisfactory. I would rate the vCenter experience as seven out of ten due to concerns regarding license, pricing, and AI features.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The system itself is great."
"I like how Microsoft Intune lets me lock down the email profile and make it accessible only on certain devices."
"The Autopilot feature is fantastic. It is a Microsoft product, so it deals best with Microsoft operating systems, but it can integrate with iOS, Mac OS, Linux, and Android."
"As an IT administrator, I appreciate Intune's ability to implement granular device-level policies for our organization's employees."
"We have used conditional access policies to prevent users from copying internal resources or internal data to external devices, which has helped protect our organizations from being compromised."
"The most valuable feature of Intune is the ability to reset a lost device and remove all the data."
"Its direct integration with all the other products that we have from Microsoft is valuable. We're using the E5 license, and we have a whole wealth of different products available. It just makes it easier to have everything from one provider."
"Intune simplifies compliance. The ability to manage software updates and policies on endpoints has helped us meet contract requirements."
"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."
"CloudBees operates seamlessly. Deploying to a cluster is straightforward—just one click, and the job is done."
"CloudBees is a user-friendly tool."
"The most beneficial aspect is that CloudBees integrates with everything, like version one, GitHub, and PDM."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that its GUI is quite simple."
"Scalability largely depends on how the tool is set up within your infrastructure"
"CloudBees assists by automating tasks, previously done manually, in the pipeline setup."
"One recent product feature that stands out is the pipeline explorer, which is providing significant value for us right now."
"I like vMotion because it manages fault tolerance."
"The interface is very user-friendly and the solution is simple to use."
"The most valuable features are vMotion and high availability, and I appreciate it because it's very easy to set up and configure new disks and servers."
"The technical support services are good."
"Reliable, stable and scalable."
"Beneficial patch management and template features."
"vCenter Configuration Manager is a stable solution that is very easy to manage and deploy."
"vCenter Configuration Manager is the best tool for centrally managing resources"
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in the reporting capabilities, specifically app reporting. It is challenging to report which apps are installed on which device."
"Microsoft Intune could be faster with client to server communication. Whenever I push something, it takes time; sometimes it takes more than one hour to deploy on the Windows side."
"The downsides of Microsoft Intune include the fact that the interface can sometimes be complex for new administrators."
"In my additional experience with Microsoft Intune, although it is a cloud environment, it still has some flaws."
"Reporting could be improved. It needs to be more expensive and robust."
"They need to add more group policies. Intune currently does not have many group policies that you can deploy. Its reporting, which is very limited at the moment, also needs improvement. It will be great if they can add report customization. Its stability needs to be improved. Sometimes, when you register a device in Intune, it doesn't show up instantly on the engine portal on the admin side. They need to provide better support for complicated issues. They also have a long turnaround time."
"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."
"The generic answer to what can be improved is that I hope that the reporting needs to be a bit more interactive."
"If you're logged in and working for about thirty minutes and then go idle for five to ten minutes, Jenkins will prompt you to re-authenticate."
"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."
"The user interface of CloudBees is good but could be even more intuitive. Improving the user-friendliness of the interface and having simpler setup configurations would greatly benefit new users."
"Sometimes, there are performance issues, however, they may be due to our organization's configuration."
"The problem with CloudBees is that when you merge it, the pipelines would randomly fail multiple times."
"When I started with CloudBees, I found the configuration at the CD level to be quite challenging when creating end-to-end orchestration or release execution flows."
"It could improve the document upload process."
"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."
"It lacks the capability to manage the other systems."
"I think the logging side should be improved because it's pretty difficult to keep up to date VMware and with vCenter."
"We would like to improve the UI interface and customer experience in vCenter Configuration Manager. We need a speed-based system, which is methodology checked. The migration functions, from one hardware to another and the nodes must be a partner of four nodes, which acts as a weakness. They should have advanced training and course material for vCenter solutions."
"Additionally, they could improve the hybrid-cloud environment and its management, not only for the localhost but also including the connection between the public and private cloud."
"The snapshot functionality on the solution needs improvement. After renewing the snapshot, all of the production was stuck. Right now, its functionality is one of our main concerns."
"The product's price could be lesser."
"If the solution could manage on-premises and cloud resources with the help of one tool, it would be an extra agent."
"The functions are not running in HTML 5, this is a problem."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing can be improved."
"The pricing needs improvement."
"The overall pricing of Microsoft Intune is good for companies that have big IT budgets, 3,000 or more users and devices."
"Intune comes with the licensing that is common for large organizations. However, Microsoft has recently released many add-ons that are very expensive, especially for large organizations or corporations."
"No one can compete with Microsoft when it comes to price, and the features it is offering."
"We work in the charity sector, so a lot of our clients get Microsoft Premium licenses or Business Premium for free. They get ten licenses free, and a lot of our clients do not have more than ten staff members. They are getting the tool for free, so its cost is not an issue."
"Microsoft's licensing is more flexible and adaptive than its competitors."
"It comes with the E5 plan. We bought the E5 plan from Microsoft."
Information not available
"The price of the solution is expensive. However, it is reasonably priced compared to competitors."
"The product price and licensing fees are reasonable, especially when compared to other products in the market."
"It's a large application. It consumes a lot of resources. Sometimes the price is too high for our customers. If they buy it directly from VMware, its hard to convince the customer that we will bring down the total cost of ownership, in the end."
"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."
"I am not knowledgeable with the pricing of the product."
"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 pricing is mid-range so I rate it a six out of ten."
"The solution is quite expensive."
