Everything has worked better since we started using it
Sometimes the syncing is inconsistent. I'm confident that the devices are checking in every eight hours, but sometimes the devices aren't picking up the settings as quickly as I would expect. Some features haven't been updated in a while, and Microsoft doesn't seem interested in developing them. Unless you talk to an engineer, you don't know whether there will be an update. There are communication issues, so you might start working with a feature without knowing if it will be deprecated six months from now. Some reporting areas still need development. For example, I noticed that the reporting for driver updates is still confusing.

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.
Daniel Cordero - PeerSpot reviewer
Versatile device management simplifies device security and configuration while offering cost-effective options
I appreciate Samsung Knox because I have all solutions in one portal, including Knox Manage, Knox Configure, Enrollment, and E-FOTA. Samsung Knox is particularly valuable because I can manage not only Samsung devices but also Xiaomi, Huawei, and other Android devices. Additionally, I can create GPOs with Windows. The integration of Samsung Knox is straightforward because we can enroll devices across all types of Android devices, including Xiaomi, Samsung, Huawei, and TCL. You can enroll with the IMEI for Samsung devices or use a command with Google Play to enroll Knox Manage and apply all policies. Through the Windows Store, you can install Knox Manage and manage Windows devices similar to using GPOs in Windows or InTune, but at a lower cost. Samsung Knox helps manage work profiles in my case because all devices are managed and protected through encryption. The devices are encrypted with a password and assigned to different organizations or groups depending on the department.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Intune's compliance features are valuable because they allow immediate visibility into ongoing situations."
"It has helped with compliance. It has helped to ensure that devices comply with the organization's policy. If they are not compliant and secure, they cannot access the resources."
"The ability to push applications on devices is valuable. You do not have to manually install applications one by one. If you like to use ten different applications, you do not have to manually go and download them one by one. Intune can compile a package for you, and then you can just push them from the admin center."
"We are a remote company, and the product helps us manage the global endpoints. It helps us natively manage the endpoints in the cloud from anywhere."
"It is a very helpful solution."
"Remote Wipe and Autopilot is one of the best features."
"We were trying to solve many issues, mainly the lack of centralized management. Before Microsoft Intune, we had to manually support devices one by one, installing applications and configuring policies individually. When we implemented the tool, it became much easier to manage our devices. We enroll them in Microsoft Intune and can manage all devices with a few clicks. For application management, it's the same process. If we want to deploy applications to hundreds or thousands of devices, we can do it easily with just a few clicks. This also applies to policies."
"The thing I appreciate most about Microsoft Intune is that the management of the devices was very simplified."
"Can manage a large fleet of devices without any outside interference."
"The most valuable feature of Samsung Knox is the endpoint protection it offers. Users have the ability to perform a factory reset without the need for a hard reset, which is very beneficial."
"One portal for all the features and the remote support capability in Samsung Knox is highly valued. The enterprise editions and the free Knox Suite licenses for one year are also beneficial."
"Overall, I would rate the solution as a 10."
 

Cons

"Once it's configured it is unobtrusive, but it does take some hands-on to configure and deploy it properly."
"One big problem with Microsoft is that they're changing the names of the products quite often, or they're quite consistently doing so. Intune is now Endpoint administration. Constantly switching the user interface or the administrative interface makes it quite hard to keep pace. If you are on a two-week holiday and you come back and look at the same screen you have looked at for the last couple of months, it looks different, which is annoying. Changing things around all the time doesn't make it easy."
"The feature that allows us to import the business application from the configuration manager to Intune is not very good at this time."
"There can be some added features, such as an improved dashboard. Any new feature that could be a benefit to our customers would be good."
"The information we receive at the device level needs improvement."
"We do not utilize Microsoft customer service and technical support since it is generally a waste of time."
"I would like more clarity on how Intune is migrating control from Active Directory group policies, especially as we move over to Windows 11. It seems inefficient to manage some settings in Active Directory and others in Intune."
"There should be more focus on mobile device security and integration."
"Lacks a factory reset feature."
"Samsung Knox needs to expand customer features across all devices, not just Samsung devices."
"Features like private DNS would be very useful if pushed through Knox Manage."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's reasonable. They're not giving it away, but it's reasonable."
"We have a limited budget for security investments, so Microsoft should consider reducing pricing in our region. This would make investment more viable, especially since larger businesses in other countries can afford it easily."
"While Microsoft Intune boasts a wide range of features, its user-friendliness and bundled licensing cost are key considerations for me."
"It's affordable. It's cheaper if you have an Office 365, E5, or E3 subscription because everything is there."
"Every customer used to purchase licenses based on their needs."
"Intune is linked with Microsoft. We can deploy the Microsoft E365 license to users by Intune. There are different types of licenses, such as device administrator licenses, E5 licenses for device enrollment manually, and P1 and p2 licenses for device enrollment automatically. These are the licenses required for the administration."
"Its licensing model is not complex, but it is very expensive compared to other solutions. They can bring more models and reduce the pricing. They should allow customers to select the features they want and price it accordingly."
"We have the business premium licenses for the solution."
