Microsoft Intune Reviews

I use Microsoft Intune for mobile device management. My team is specifically responsible for managing mobile devices. Recently, we migrated all our devices to Intune from AirWatch. At my company, we are also utilizing Intune to manage desktops, laptops, and MVD devices.

One valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is the enrollment process, which is user-based, making it easier to manage compared to AirWatch. Additionally, the integration with Azure and other Office 365 apps is seamless. Another beneficial aspect is that Intune brings all endpoint and security management tools into one place, allowing us to streamline management and have a single point of view. Mobile users have found the enrollment process seamless, and the Company Portal displays required apps effectively.

There is room for improvement in the reporting capabilities, specifically app reporting. It is challenging to report which apps are installed on which device. Also, there needs to be more granularity in pulling up stale records. I cannot control mobile devices separately or create separate policies, which Microsoft mentioned they are working on.

I have been using Microsoft Intune for a little more than two years now.

The migration to Intune took some time to show benefits, as we started about two years ago and are finishing the migration now. Initially, there were challenges due to differences between Workspace ONE and Intune, requiring adjustments to internal policies.

From an end-user perspective, mobile users have had a good experience, with enrollment being seamless. However, there are concerns with inconsistent device syncing, as there are times when synchronization with Intune takes longer than expected.

My experience with customer service is that once I reach higher-level support, the service is good. However, intermediate levels of support haven't been very successful, so I often escalate to get higher-level engineers involved.

I used AirWatch, which is now called Workspace ONE from VMware, before switching to Microsoft Intune due to better pricing with Intune, as it is included with an E5 license.

The initial setup of Microsoft Intune was made easier as I had previously been using it on the desktop side. However, there were challenges due to differences with Workspace ONE, but after addressing those, everything went smoothly.

My entire team was involved in the implementation, with at least three people working on it.

The pricing was much better with Microsoft Intune, as it is included with an E5 license, requiring no additional hardware purchases, which was a deciding factor for us to switch.

Overall, I would rate the solution a seven on a scale of one to 10. The more mature features of Workspace ONE mean it offers better functionality in some cases, but Microsoft Intune’s pricing and integration with our existing licenses make it more appealing financially.

We primarily use Microsoft Intune for deploying Windows patches, security patches, and various software applications such as Office and Zoom. It serves as a deployment tool to manage updates and application installations on user machines.

One of the most valuable features of Microsoft Intune is the detection and remediation script capability. This allows us to detect issues on user machines and run remediation scripts based on these detections. This functionality has greatly helped us resolve issues more efficiently. Having all endpoint and security management tools in one place through Intune has streamlined operations and improved compliance, almost reaching 99%.

There is room for improvement in the remediation and detection modules, which are currently about eighty percent fully functional. There could be enhancements to address issues faced due to cloud or internet connectivity problems. These improvements would enhance precision and reliability.

I have been using Microsoft Intune for approximately one year.

I was part of the deployment discussion, and the process was complex and challenging. It required a lot of coordination across teams, such as security and stakeholders, for whitelisting and setup. However, once everything was configured, the tool performed effectively.

Microsoft Intune is very stable, although there is always room for improvement. I would rate its stability nine out of ten.

Being a Microsoft product, scalability is not an issue. Microsoft Intune can be scaled up or down as per requirements, making it highly scalable. I would rate its scalability ten out of ten.

The customer service and support from Microsoft is prompt and effective. If there are issues, we can raise requests, and they respond quickly. I would rate their service nine out of ten.

Positive

Previously, we used SCCM. However, Microsoft Intune offers better features, such as automatic remediation and improved deployment efficiencies, which is why we transitioned from SCCM to Intune.

The initial setup was complex and required considerable collaboration with security and other teams to complete necessary configurations.

The administration and implementation of Microsoft Intune were handled by a separate team. I initially joined the team to learn about its use and how to resolve issues.

In the long term, Microsoft Intune is cost-effective as it helps in monitoring software licenses and usage, allowing the uninstallation of unused applications to save license costs. It's about twenty percent more effective than SCCM.

The pricing of Microsoft Intune is costlier than SCCM in the short term, but it becomes less expensive in the long run due to features that allow better management of software licenses.

Before choosing Microsoft Intune, we did not evaluate any other alternatives. I consider Intune to have little competition in its category.

Microsoft Intune is a mandatory tool for companies due to its role as a deployment and security management backbone. It is evolving rapidly and will surpass other automation tools. I would rate Microsoft Intune nine out of ten.

We use Microsoft Intune to manage mobile devices and distribute software. It helps us securely manage multiple vendors and operating systems.

Intune makes our organization more secure and flexible. We can onboard new employees faster and more securely. We are a governmental organization with strict regulations, and Intune helps us comply with those requirements.

The most valuable feature for us is mobile device management because it allows us to use multiple vendors and operating systems securely. I don't use Intune directly. My teams have used it, and I don't get any complaints about the user experience. 

Intune Suite's enterprise application management has made my life a little more difficult because now I know the kind of applications circulating in my organization. On the other hand, we started a program to fix the problem, and Intune helps us by providing us with insights.

Copilot helps because you can use the prompt to ask questions about the Intune-managed environment. That shortens the time we spend on reporting and that kind of stuff. Our analysis will be more efficient.

We would like to see the ability to use multiple personas on a device, similar to Samsung Knox, included in future updates.

I have used Intune for the two years I have worked for my company, but the company has been using it for longer. 

Intune's scalability is excellent. We are not a large company—only around 2,000 employees— and Intune handles our needs well.

Customer service used to be better, but as we are nearing the end of the contract, the focus on investing in us as a customer has diminished. It is what one would expect in such a situation.

Positive

Deploying Intune was difficult for me, but we have a deployment manager who handles it. 

We used multiple consultants, including Capgemini and KPN. Our experience with Capgemini has been positive due to a long-term relationship.

It is hard to quantify the ROI in hard metrics, but using Intune allows faster onboarding, increased flexibility, and more insight into device and software usage.

We are a governmental organization, so we can get discounts. Considering our environment, we get good value. 

I rate Microsoft Intune eight out of 10. Microsoft Intune fits well into our architecture, and they are developing new features like Copilot. It has contributed to the seamless integration with our existing setup.

Hybrid Cloud

We usually use Microsoft Intune to manage our devices and add security layers to protect access to all company resources.

The main benefit for us with Microsoft Intune is centralized management of all devices, allowing us to apply one policy across the company from one location.

What I like the most about Microsoft Intune is its ability to manage mobile devices. Through integration with System Center, it can also manage desktops and laptops. We also appreciate how easy it is to manage everything from the console.

The enterprise application management feature lets you manage, deploy, or uninstall applications from Intune. It also enables us to automate updates. The Cloud PKI feature helps us manage security keys on all company devices. 

Intune should improve the management of non-Microsoft devices. It would be better to manage Mac, Android, and other non-Microsoft operating system devices within the same Intune interface.

I have been using Microsoft Intune for almost five years now.

I rate Microsoft Intune nine out of 10 for stability.

We are not a huge company to check the scalability part. However, when discussing with our customers across the region, it seems fine, especially with the integration with System Center.

I rate Microsoft support nine out of 10. We have not used customer support, but it seems okay. If something happens, we open a case and receive assistance.

Positive

While I didn't perform the initial deployment, I know it's easy to roll out Intune across all devices. 

From the device perspective, particularly for desktops, it automates application deployment and secures all the devices. Importantly, when someone leaves the company, it helps protect document access on their devices. Onboarding and offboarding users is a great asset in terms of ROI.

We are partners, so we receive some discount. However, from the customer's perspective, Microsoft Intune's pricing is competitive with non-Microsoft technology, and the price is good compared to other market competitors.

I rate Microsoft Intune nine out of 10.

We use Microsoft Intune to manage mobile devices for our parent company and our independent subsidiaries. These devices are not directly corporate-owned but belong to individuals or subsidiaries with whom we work. We enroll both their and our corporate devices in Intune to manage policies, ensure optimal security settings through compliance reviews, and deploy a VPN client for secure access to our internal network resources.

Microsoft Intune has provided valuable insight into the status of our independent computers, which previously lacked a management agent and had no standardized security policies. We could not enforce password expiration policies, hardened passwords, or even minimum password requirements, with some users relying on six-character passwords. By enrolling these devices in Intune, we have enforced more robust security measures, such as a minimum eight-character password length, and gained visibility into device compliance to ensure adherence to best security practices for data protection.

The Intune user experience is good, especially with the many improvements made to the web interface over the years. It has always been designed as a simpler interface than Configuration Manager, and Microsoft has done a good job in achieving this goal.

Dynamic groups are more efficient than static groups, which require manually adding members. This was cumbersome, especially when onboarding new people, as it necessitated manually adding them to the appropriate groups. Dynamic groups allow us to set conditions for automatic membership, eliminating the need for user intervention or manual review and ensuring a seamless workflow.

Microsoft Intune's app deployment presents challenges for non-MSI and non-store apps, particularly EXEs, requiring the use of a Win32 wrapper tool and adding overhead to the process. Additionally, deploying device-specific installers, such as VPN clients, is complicated by the inability to target users directly, necessitating knowledge of device names that may not be readily available. Furthermore, the web interface lacks detailed information for MDM-enrolled devices, such as the user's UPN, requiring the use of Graph Explorer API and necessitating Global Admin consent to access device properties. Enhancing app deployment, enabling user-targeted device application deployment, and improving the web interface, particularly for MDM-enrolled devices, by providing comprehensive device information and customizable columns, would significantly streamline Intune's usability.

Microsoft Intune should enhance flexibility and features to better match the granularity available in systems like SCCM.

I have been using Microsoft Intune for over five years.

Microsoft Intune has been stable, and I have not noticed any specific stability issues. While we've encountered problems with other services like Exchange, Intune has remained unaffected.

Scaling Intune is challenging due to the various device types we manage. Our parent company's mobile devices were already enrolled, and we've added our independent Windows devices, with plans to include corporate devices soon. A key hurdle is the lack of visibility into user attributes in Intune, hindering our ability to create dynamic groups effectively. Ideally, we want to automatically segregate devices based on user properties like primary use, but currently, dynamic groups seem limited to device properties. This forces manual group assignment after user enrollment, which is inefficient and reliant on user notification. Improved dynamic group functionality, particularly the ability to leverage user attributes, would significantly streamline device management.

Customer support has been reasonable overall. However, there have been cases, such as issues with BitLocker recovery keys, where support was less effective, leading to multiple hand-offs and delays.

Neutral

Before Intune, the independent devices were unmanaged without any agent. For corporate devices, we previously used SCCM.

The initial deployment of Microsoft Intune was fairly straightforward, despite a few challenges due to our unusual configuration of two on-premise domains syncing to our Azure tenant. This dual user sync caused issues because some users remained on the older domain, leading to conflicts when automated systems modified on-premise account attributes. These modifications triggered Azure to switch the sync to the other account, resulting in login failures for users with cached credentials from the old account. While we've mostly identified the cause and the fix, we still encounter this issue occasionally.

The deployment was handled in-house. Our organization benefited from having skilled personnel and guidance from our parent company.

The return on investment includes successfully distributing applications like a VPN client and Office 365. As a result, independent devices now have better application access, encouraging even non-enrolled entities to request Intune enrollment.

We considered Tanium for managing independent devices, but it's a comprehensive endpoint management tool with more functionality than we needed. Management felt it would introduce unnecessary overhead. Since all our corporate devices are currently managed with Intune, adding independent devices would require segregation. Ultimately, we opted for Intune due to its ease of use, allowing us to create targeted policies from scratch.

I would rate Microsoft Intune a seven out of ten.

Microsoft Azure

We use Microsoft Intune to manage mobile phone devices and laptops to ensure they are synchronized with the company. They are not used for tracking or third-party software, and they comply with company regulations. If devices get tampered with, lost, or stolen, we can track them. The devices are registered to our systems, so if anyone forgets their user IDs or passwords, we can resolve that using the authenticator. We use the Cloud PKI, which is straightforward and easy to learn. Everything is documented, and a self-starter can learn it. It is not highly technical. It requires being comfortable with Microsoft Windows knowledge and knowing how to use a desktop and commands. Someone with basic knowledge can pick it up easily.

We use the Copilot integration in Microsoft Intune which helps protect our environment. We are using the Enterprise Application Management features of Microsoft Intune. These features have improved our abilities in app discovery, deployment, and automatic updating. The Advanced Endpoint Analytics in Microsoft Intune has improved and helps us proactively detect and remediate anomalies in endpoints.

Everything about Microsoft Intune is something that I value the most. It is something that I use for employees, whether for new starters or anyone who makes a request. It is a requirement and a need, and it works great. So far, there have not been any issues. It performs very well.

The documentation and authentication could be improved. Sometimes, there can be issues where you have to restart multiple times. There have been instances where enrolling devices should take 10 minutes but ends up taking an hour due to various issues. Performance is something that needs to be worked on.

I have been using Microsoft Intune for around a year in my career, not necessarily in this job, but overall.

Sometimes there has been instability such as crashing and downtime. This happens as part of business operations.

The scalability of Microsoft Intune can be good at times and off at others, so it falls somewhere in between.

I have not had to contact their support.

Neutral

My initial introduction to Microsoft Intune was straightforward because everything was written and documented, so it was simply a matter of following their instructions.

We have used an application called Pyrus as an alternative. That is software our company purchased, and it actually helps.

I followed the documentation from my colleagues and have used some documentation from Microsoft. The Microsoft documentation is adequate. I do not know the pricing of Microsoft Intune, as that is not something I manage. When I joined my current company, Microsoft Intune was already in place, so my role was to enroll new devices and distribute them to new people.

On a scale of 1-10, I rate Microsoft Intune a 7.

We use Microsoft Intune for our mobile devices, including tablets and mobiles, across both iOS and Android. Our intention is to eventually use Intune to manage our laptop estate as well.

The integration into Azure stack and M365 stack is highly powerful. Additionally, no longer having to pay for a third-party MDM solution is a significant benefit. We also appreciate the conditional access rules and the basic Azure/M365 security scoring, which offer centralized control and the ability to manage policies from one point.

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.

I have used the solution for approximately just under two years.

I would rate the stability of Intune as a 10. We have not experienced downtime, bugs, or glitches. The only issues we encountered were during the initial setup.

I would rate the scalability of Intune as a 10. You can scale as much as needed based on the size of your tenants.

We use a third party for support instead of Microsoft directly. Our value-added reseller, who specializes in Intune, is excellent, and I rate them as a 10.

Positive

We previously used BlackBerry UEM. We switched to Microsoft Intune to bring our system under Microsoft and achieve more seamless integration. The cost is included in our licensing, eliminating the need for separate servers and complex configurations.

I have been in the IT field for 30 years, and the initial setup made me scratch my head, so we brought in a third party to help. The deployment stretched over several weeks.

We engaged a third party to help with the implementation.

Financially, we saved four to £5,000 a year on MDM licensing after switching from BlackBerry. The one-touch commissioning has also saved significant time by simplifying device configuration and maintenance.

We saved on licensing costs as Microsoft Intune is included in our existing licensing deal.

BlackBerry UEM

I recommend Intune but only once your M365 configuration is established to support it and after completing your Exchange Online migration. I rate the overall solution as a 10.

We deploy Microsoft Intune for clients and give them support for 

The main use cases for Microsoft Intune among our customers currently include migrating a client that was initially with Dell; they were using a Citrix solution along with other solutions. We migrated all the infrastructure on Azure, and they have almost 400 to 500 users. We have registered users' laptops and desktops with Microsoft Intune. I integrated them with Entra ID and Active Directory authentication. We are providing them support with managing all the devices, including their laptops, mobiles, and PCs with Microsoft Intune, along with all the policies and other configurations.

The most useful features of Microsoft Intune for our customers include centralized management; administrators can access all device reports, which devices are expiring MFA, which are not using MFA, device details, and other important information. All details about users and devices can be accessed through a centralized portal and dashboard. That is the main feature.

Regarding user experience, Microsoft Intune is very user-friendly. We need to register the device with Microsoft Intune through the Company Portal. When it's registered with the email, it comes to the management console on Microsoft Intune. We can manage all the devices from the portal, and users are very satisfied with no issues. They only require assistance with daily routine tasks, but otherwise, everything runs smoothly.

It’s already a strong application and management tool, and the team is continuously improving it. Everything is progressing smoothly, and our policy allows for certain configurations to be made easily.

There could be some improvements regarding additional features and integrations in Microsoft Intune. Microsoft Intune works with Entra ID. If there is an option for a client with 100 PCs or laptops that are not on the Entra ID domain, it would be good. It should work without a domain. Microsoft Intune works with the Entra ID domain, with the domain ID, with the email ID. There could be some kind of feature that supports a workgroup environment or a separate environment without the Entra ID.

I've been working with Microsoft Intune for five years.

Our customers have not faced any issues with the stability of Microsoft Intune; it's very stable. When they change devices such as laptops and mobiles, we need to register again and remove from the portal, their MFA, and other configurations. Otherwise, it is fine with no significant issues. It's very reliable and scalable.

In terms of scalability, Microsoft Intune performs exceptionally well. This solution is scalable. 

As technical professionals, we rarely need support. We handle issues ourselves, but whenever there's a need, we raise a ticket with Microsoft to get issues resolved and convey solutions to the client. If we have solved the issue through the Microsoft portal, we raise a ticket and provide the input from Microsoft to the client regarding what the issue was.

Positive

Our customers evaluated other tools before working with Microsoft Intune, as they migrated from ManageEngine and other management devices to Microsoft Intune. They saw advantages that led them to choose Microsoft Intune and Entra ID, so they migrated all the infrastructure and found it better than other management tools.

For tech-savvy individuals, the process is straightforward. You simply need someone with technical expertise to handle the portal, making device registration easy. There’s nothing complicated about it. 

Microsoft Intune is not too expensive; it is bearable for the clients and fits in their budget.

I would recommend Microsoft Intune to others. It is a very good and scalable solution. Every person, client, or company that has infrastructure with more than 100 or 200 devices will find it very easy to manage all their devices, mobiles, laptops, PCs, and network devices from the same dashboard and panel. All the information in the portal and dashboard makes it good for them.

I would rate Microsoft Intune a nine out of ten.

I use Microsoft Intune to Autopilot our devices and manage various configuration policies mainly on Windows PCs. It helps in efficiently deploying company configurations remotely.

Intune has streamlined our onboarding process. Most of our workforce is remote, and there typically isn't an office where they can pick up the devices. It's easy to ship them to any address and configure them remotely. 

The Autopilot feature is the most valuable because it saves significant time on managing devices. We can ship devices globally, and users can set them up on their own. It's convenient.

The user experience is pretty solid. We've gotten great feedback on the onboarding process and replacing devices. Every employee on the Windows PC has gone through Intune's Autopilot process.

Microsoft Intune could improve in reporting data for endpoints and fleets. Enhanced capabilities to run queries and gather specific device data to identify trends or issues would be beneficial. The feature parity for MacOS and handling devices from an MDM perspective is not comprehensive. Consolidation of these functionalities within Intune would simplify processes and finances.

I have used Microsoft Intune for about four years.

Microsoft Intune is very stable. I cannot recall any significant service outages in the last few years.

Microsoft Intune is scalable and handles our workload efficiently. Although our organization is not very large, we foresee continuing with Intune as it supports scalability effectively.

We do not utilize Microsoft customer service and technical support since it is generally a waste of time.

We used SCCM before, and now we are in a hybrid state, co-managing with SCCM and Microsoft Intune. The primary reason for the switch was the convenience of joining devices to our environment over the Internet.

 Microsoft Intune's initial setup was straightforward. It took some effort to configure it to a finalized version. Like every other piece of technology, it's constantly undergoing configuration changes. From an out-of-the-box perspective, it's super-easy to set up, but, you know, you have to continue iterating on it over time.

The implementation was primarily conducted by my team, especially my endpoint administrator on the Windows side.

Factoring in the setup time, we've saved about 1,000 hours in the last couple of years.

We spend a lot of money on Intune licensing, and some of our users have to be double licensed just because of how our dev and corporate environments are segmented.

I rate Microsoft Intune eight out of 10. Offering the same features for MacOS would make it a 10.

Microsoft Azure

We use Intune for security or endpoint inside the company and especially for many customers we have.

Microsoft Intune has helped us by improving our security posture, leading to fewer security problems, and helping us understand where we have issues. 

Intune's compliance features are valuable because they allow for immediate visibility into ongoing situations. The solution is very easy to use. We haven't implemented Microsoft Copilot but will adopt it next year. It will be interesting to use natural language to interact with Intune.

It would be interesting to integrate the server side of Intune. Some group policy updates we have on the Windows Server side and possibly some on the client side could also be included.

I have been using Microsoft Intune for about two years.

Microsoft Intune is very stable.

The scalability of Microsoft Intune is good. We don't have large customers, so we haven't seen any issues with scalability.

I rate Microsoft support nine out of 10. Customer service and technical support are good. The technical support from Microsoft and Infineon Technologies is also good. The quality and professionalism of the people are really good, although sometimes we need to escalate to get the right content and answers.

Positive

We previously used a solution from an older competitor that is now defunct.

We did not use an integrator, reseller, or consultant for the deployment because we are an integrator.

Our customers have seen a significant return on investment because they now understand and see where the problems are on the endpoints without needing to search the entire company.

We know the pricing is good because customers are not complaining about it.

We directly switched to Microsoft Intune after receiving good feedback from customers.

I would rate Intune eight out of 10. Some features could be added, but it is a rock-solid solution.
