Great features with very good function management
Our customers are pretty happy with the product. It uploads files, creates a secure virtual compartment for corporate applications. If it's on-prem, you can use it with mobile phones or tablets that don't have access to the internet using intranet with wireless access points. That's a big plus for government institutions as it enables the management of a large fleet of devices without any outside interference. That is the most significant advantage.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Can manage a large fleet of devices without any outside interference."
"Overall, my user experience with Microsoft Intune has been great."
"There are many features in Microsoft Intune. For personal mobile devices, MDM is what I most prefer."
"It is very easy to use. It has a very easy interface."
"It has a useful device management feature."
"For Windows services, there are multiple options within Intune to modernize it to be more internet-facing and dynamic."
"While Microsoft Intune boasts a wide range of features, its user-friendliness and bundled licensing cost are key considerations for me."
"The solution is scalable. We currently have tens of thousands of users within our organization using the solution."
"The Autopilot feature is the most valuable because it saves significant time on managing devices."
 

Cons

"Lacks a factory reset feature."
"While no specific feature requires immediate improvement, the ongoing expansion of reporting and inventory capabilities promises to enhance its utility."
"The backend of Microsoft Intune needs to be improved. We have seen a little bit of delay as compared to other MDM solutions. That needs to be improved. A little bit more granularity should also be added"
"In terms of what can be improved, I am looking for better enhancements regarding Apple management, not only on the mobile device, but also on the laptop."
"For additional functionality, I suggest that Microsoft could expand on asset management. Since the platform is there, they could develop it into a full-fledged asset management system."
"The reporting is subpar. That's the only issue we have with Intune. We use another solution for that purpose."
"Sometimes, the process is unsuccessful when we attempt to reset a device and wipe the data using Intune."
"During the onboarding of Microsoft Intune, we faced the problem that the policies were not getting synced."
"What I dislike about Microsoft Intune is the time it takes Microsoft to develop a feature."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"While Microsoft Intune boasts a wide range of features, its user-friendliness and bundled licensing cost are key considerations for me."
"The price of Intune is often included as part of a bundle with other Microsoft licenses, which makes it somewhat cheaper."
"Microsoft's licensing is more flexible and adaptive than its competitors."
"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."
"Licensing depends on how you are providing support to your enterprise, whether it's device-based or user-based."
"The pricing is not cheap, especially with inflation. They've had to increase their prices. It's not excessive, but alright."
"It is reasonable for the features it has."
"It is cheap, but as compared to Google, it is costly. Google is cheaper, but quality-wise, Microsoft Intune is better."
