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 most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is its scalability."
"We have a BYOD policy, and this solution helps us manage our devices."
"I would say that Microsoft Intune is absolutely the right choice for any organization that is already invested in the Microsoft 365 ecosystem and wants a unified cloud-native endpoint management approach."
"There are so many features, but Windows Autopilot is one of the features that are very valuable for most customers."
"Microsoft Intune is best for Windows devices and security in Office 365 and Microsoft-related enterprise environments. It's a nice platform for endpoint management."
"It's easy to manage."
"This product works very well for companies already using the full Microsoft suite."
"Overall, the best features of Microsoft Intune are its ease of management and robust security protocols, which are what I value most about it and how it stands out."
"It’s a very good tool for auditing your project pipelines as well."
"CloudBees is a good and efficient tool."
"CloudBees's user interface is very simple and user-friendly."
"Scalability largely depends on how the tool is set up within your infrastructure"
"CloudBees is the Jenkins tool for building and deploying. There's open-source Jenkins, which is free and can be used by any organization, but it offers a different architecture for Jenkins. If your organization is larger, you might choose the architecture. This way, you can have different masters for different applications, and different teams can manage their masters separately. However, a single person can still control all the masters, whoever manages it for the organization."
"CloudBees is a user-friendly tool."
"The customer support is good. You get good representatives from CloudBees to help you and understand your requirements."
"One recent product feature that stands out is the pipeline explorer, which is providing significant value for us right now."
"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 platform's automation capabilities help reduce manual configuration efforts, speeding up deployment and management tasks."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"vCenter has some good user experience, and the initial setup is straightforward."
"The migration feature of vCenter Configuration Manager is the most loved feature so far."
"vCenter alone is enough for me because vCenter is a cluster environment and cluster solution for virtualization environments."
"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 most valuable feature of vCenter Configuration Manager is the automated processes."
 

Cons

"During the onboarding of Microsoft Intune, we faced the problem that the policies were not getting synced."
"It's only good for a Microsoft environment."
"I am not involved in the day-to-day with Intune, but we have gone with a different product for updating mobile device software. We do not integrate many of our mobile devices that are not Microsoft-based devices, such as Dell laptops, with Intune."
"It can improve for new users; in the starting phase, we found that the logs are too complex or scattered."
"Onboarding of endpoint devices is not straightforward. The onboarding process was a little heavier than I thought it would be. That's the key improvement area. Obviously, the more control you have over the devices, the better it is."
"The support is not particularly good. Sometimes when you open a case with Microsoft, you end up resolving the issue by yourself."
"I would like to see micro VPN. I like the way that some of the other providers have done something similar where, as you open that app on an end-point device, it creates a micro VPN straight into your device, which is quite a nice little feature. Also, Microsoft Intune relies heavily on its fellow products in the suite. It would be nice if Microsoft Intune could stand on its own two feet."
"The challenge we experience is with Mac management. We find Intune not capable enough to handle Mac devices, configurations, or operating system deployments."
"I would like to see improved speed and availability."
"There are connection issues with CloudBees, specifically between Sybase and CloudBees. W"
"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."
"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."
"The setup is somewhat complicated. You need a cloud architect and engineer to set it up properly. The initial setup will take time, so you need a good engineer and architect to handle it."
"There could be improvements in the ease of use."
"The problem with CloudBees is that when you merge it, the pipelines would randomly fail multiple times."
"I noticed that CloudBees runs too slowly because some applications run more than 50 pipelines."
"There are some complexities within the system center."
"The technical support is not bad. It is good internally for our organization, and we are not facing any problems now. We have not taken platinum support, so our teams that are operating from the client site will have to wait longer to get their problems fixed."
"The tool needs to improve its interface."
"The product's high price is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The solution needs to add its own backup system because it has issues integrating with third-party solutions."
"vCenter Configuration Manager could improve by having more integration."
"Users need to pay a licensing fee for the solution, which could be cheaper."
"Not very user friendly, too many configurations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing depends on how you are providing support to your enterprise, whether it's device-based or user-based."
"The cost is somewhat on the higher side, particularly when considering certain price points, especially in markets like India."
"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."
"The tool is cheaper than our company's other MDM tools."
"It's monthly for us, but it's built into the license cost that we pay our IT each month. It's maybe 129 Kroner per head, which translates to £10. There are some additional costs. Our IT had to set up and configure their own server, so there is an extra cost for that, but I'm not sure what that costs."
"Microsoft Intune is moderately priced. There is a monthly license required to use the solution and it is approximately eight dollars per month."
"While Microsoft charges for actual usage, it lacks discount options."
"It is not a cheap solution. The price for a device when you start using it at a large scale can be improved. It is covered under our enterprise agreement. We pay once a year. I am not aware of any additional costs."
Information not available
"The solution comes with three-year support. We have to renew the support annually after the three years are up."
"This product is not cheap. I have a yearly license for vCenter and the license is not cheap."
"It is an expensive solution."
"It is on a yearly basis."
"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."
"I am not knowledgeable with the pricing of the product."
"The product is highly-priced."
"The pricing is mid-range so I rate it a six out of ten."
