Microsoft Intune Reviews

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.

Public Cloud

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.

Hybrid Cloud

Other

We use Microsoft Intune to manage our customers' end-user workstations. Specifically, we use it for mobile application management, managing personal phone devices for iOS and Android without enrollment, and configuring app VPN through the Intune tunnel server. We also manage Microsoft Teams for mobile application management and use it extensively for Windows devices.

Microsoft Intune has helped by making additional access based on corporate owned devices or managed devices, which prevents our IT admins from accessing specific organizational resources unless using these secure devices.

Intune enables us to deploy applications to devices remotely without touching or interacting with the end user. We can also configure some profiles, like Wi-Fi profiles, for specific branches without additional configuration from the end user. It's easy for end-users to adopt changes or merge branches. Also, you can predefine the applications so they automatically download when the user joins that branch.

Microsoft Intune offers features such as mobile application management and always-on VPN for Windows, which are valuable for managing customer devices and ensuring efficiency. It also aids in application deployment and configuration without requiring direct user interaction, simplifying the integration of new devices and systems.

We use endpoint analytics to analyze the user performance on their machines or  app crashes. We can also evaluate Windows startups to detect if there are some user problems or if it's their workstation performance. We can be more proactive about improving our user's work infrastructure. 

We use enterprise application management for app patching, but it needs to include more applications. Some important applications are not part of the enterprise app management, but we hope they will be added soon. We appreciate the automatic updates and discovery of installed applications and older devices. Automatic patching will help us keep the devices and applications up to date to detect newly discovered vulnerabilities. Copilot helps us generate reports about compliant devices and software installed on specific devices. We can also track the device's compliance state. 

Improvements are needed in Microsoft Intune's enterprise app management, including support for more applications in app patching, boot batching, and discovery. I also hope the cost of Remote Help will decrease because it's a much-needed Intune function. Our customers need that capability, or they will buy it from a third party at a premium. 

We have used Microsoft Intune for around three years.

Microsoft Intune is very stable due to its cloud-based infrastructure and its reliability in performance.

Microsoft Intune's cloud-based nature ensures it is highly scalable, supporting a large number of devices without performance issues.

We do not often rely on Microsoft Support. Sometimes response times can be long, but generally, they are helpful in resolving issues.

Neutral

Previously, we used solutions like ManageEngine and Endpoint Central. We switched to Microsoft Intune to better support enterprise customers needing fully managed devices like iPads for secure environments.

The initial setup of Microsoft Intune was straightforward, thanks to its various enrollment methods.

We are a consulting partner, providing implementation services for Microsoft Intune.

We've seen a return on investment through enhanced security, as Intune allows access to critical systems only through corporate-owned devices, integrating well with Microsoft’s ecosystem to protect company assets.

The default capabilities of Microsoft Intune are reasonably priced, but the Intune suite and add-ons, such as batch management and remote help, are costly, leading customers to consider third-party options.

Before switching to Microsoft Intune, we considered ManagerEngine. Eventually, the decision focused on Intune specifically to meet enterprise requirements.

I rate Microsoft Intune eight out of 10. I deduct a couple of points because key features like application patching and Remote Help need to be purchased separately. 

Hybrid Cloud

We use Microsoft Intune to enroll devices in our environment, install software, and monitor security patches.

In the past, our cumbersome OSD installation model using images made it difficult for IT to track installations and required users to visit the help desk for reinstallation. However, with Intune, employees can now conveniently manage installations themselves.

I have no complaints about the Intune user experience.

I appreciate Intune's Autopilot feature, which allows us to enroll devices and install applications to meet corporate requirements seamlessly.

I would like to see Intune improve its handling of hybrid domain joins. We continue to experience issues with machines losing their hybrid domain join status.

I have been using Microsoft Intune for several years now.

Intune's stability has been generally good, although recent issues caused devices to stop checking in and become unmanageable. We hope this is resolved before we begin redeployment.

Intune's scalability appears satisfactory, as we have not experienced any scaling issues.

Support has become more challenging to navigate over the past couple of years. It takes some effort to engage the right level of support, but once the right person is contacted, support works well.

Neutral

Before Intune, we used the OSD image approach. We switched to Intune for end-user ease of use and to lessen the burden on support teams.

The initial setup was fairly straightforward.

We did the implementation in-house ourselves.

We did not evaluate other solutions because Intune was included with our Microsoft 365 solution.

Overall, I like Intune as a solution and would rate it nine out of ten. The rating isn't a ten because we haven't enrolled our entire environment in it yet, but so far, it looks promising. It might reach a ten at some point.

We have over 50,000 employees and 75,000 machines.

On-premises

We operate call centers and provide our agents with laptops that they use from their home environment or home offices. We use Microsoft Intune to manage those laptops remotely. This remote management accounts for 99 percent of our use cases.

Microsoft Intune has effectively managed our patching needs, resulting in very few system-wide issues. While a small number of laptops occasionally fail to receive updates, the vast majority are patched successfully without manual intervention.

Microsoft Intune has enabled us to effectively manage our laptops, which is crucial for our involvement in civilian federal projects. The platform allows us to maintain a necessary security patch level and address any bugs that may arise, ensuring our devices are always secure and functional. Implementing Intune provides a cost-effective solution that would otherwise be prohibitively expensive.

Our Intune users, the IT group and system administrators, are happy with the system and have not reported any complaints.

The most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is patching-related capabilities. This is because patches are constantly being released, and it requires us to stay current with bug-related and security-related patches, which is critical for our day-to-day operations. Intune's support in this area is crucial for us to maintain our laptops at a certain security patch level.

A more incisive reporting tool with automated progress updates and graphical representation would be beneficial, as the current manual method lacks efficiency and visual clarity.

I have been using the solution for about a year.

The stability of Microsoft Intune is ten out of ten. It has been very stable for us.

The scalability of Microsoft Intune is ten out of ten. Although we are not the largest company, it has never presented any scalability issues for us.

The customer service is above average. We have an Azure engineer on staff who handles troubleshooting. Although we have not had any major issues.

Positive

The initial setup is straightforward. We manage everything in-house with just a few commands needed before deploying laptops, never having to reconsider our processes.

We do everything ourselves without using a reseller or consultant.

We have never operated without Microsoft Intune, but it is apparent that it offers significant cost reductions. Operating without it would likely be prohibitively expensive, indicating a ninety-nine percent reduction in cost with Intune.

The alternative to Intune, sending out replacements for every issue, is prohibitively expensive. In contrast, Intune's pricing is reasonable considering its benefits and the high costs it helps avoid.

We evaluated other options that are tool-specific. For instance, our call center platform from NICE's CXone, has built-in Copilot-like capabilities. Nevertheless, Copilot remains our primary focus as it covers our entire spectrum of needs.

I rate Microsoft Intune nine out of ten.

We recently started using Copilot and find its support features very attractive. Our call center agents are internal customers who, like any customer, need occasional assistance with various issues. Copilot could benefit both IT and non-IT departments by providing faster service, self-guided troubleshooting, and access to relevant resources. For example, if an agent has an HR question, needs help with benefits, or experiences a technical issue like audio problems with their laptop, Copilot could guide them with self-service options or provide helpful files. This would empower our agents to resolve issues independently and efficiently. Our initial analysis suggests Copilot may have the potential to protect our environment, though our assessment is ongoing and we haven't begun implementation. Preliminary findings indicate it will be a valuable tool.

We use it to manage our mobile devices. It is being used for security, compliance, and deployment.

The user experience is good; we could work and deploy many controls through Microsoft Intune. It is easy to handle.

Compliance and security policy setup comes with the tool itself. Co-management allows us to have a single platform to handle different devices such as domain-joined endpoints.

We need more granular level control on on-premise resources management. If we have more control on device-level configuration policy setup, it would be beneficial. Since the devices are configured over the Internet, whatever policy we apply from the compliance portal does not reflect immediately on the endpoint. The Azure AD joined endpoints take considerable time to see the policy. We need to implement some controls immediately, but it takes time to sync the endpoints and get the policy applied. That is one of the concerns. 

I have been using Microsoft Intune for the past four years.

It is stable. We do face challenges from the downtime, but it is manageable with the support service agreement. 

Microsoft Intune scales with the growing needs of my organization.

We do get support, but we struggle in conveying the issues to the right support team to address our concerns.

Positive

Before Microsoft Intune, we did not use another solution. This is the only solution we have used for Windows. Since we are using Windows devices, it makes sense for us to use Microsoft Intune to manage our Windows devices and control and apply the baseline policies set by the organization.

I participated in the deployment of Microsoft Intune. We didn't have any challenges.

We manage our MDM devices through our top direct configuration, which is the only option we have with our environment for managing all Windows MDM devices through Microsoft Intune.

Every module has a different pricing model based on the license and the options we choose. The controls are available, but the pricing varies for each module. If you want to have complete control, you have to spend more on Microsoft Intune with different licensing modules.

I have not explored any alternate solutions so far.

I am using Microsoft Copilot in Microsoft Intune along with other office products such as Teams and email. I have not used Copilot in Intune, but it can be leveraged for technology-related troubleshooting.

We have endpoint protection with EDR solution and detection and prevention. We are utilizing the Microsoft E5 license. 

I would rate Microsoft Intune an eight out of ten.

My use cases for Microsoft Intune are to secure our mobile license and our platform.

What I appreciate the most about Microsoft Intune is that it's quick and easy to use from an authenticator perspective. There is simplicity in securing our platform. Microsoft Intune benefits my company because of its simplicity of use and cross-functional integration.

The user experience of Microsoft Intune is good because of its cross-functionality and simplicity of use.

Automatic updating is pretty rough. It doesn't give me as much control as I had in the past. With no ability to control release cycles, it's been more difficult for major IT organizations. They can give comfort to those who are using the utilities with predictability on when new releases are coming. There should be more predictability in the release cycle.

We don't feel we have any control over when new updates come out, and whether there are changes to the backend functionality or to the user interface. Updates just happen. When updates are visible to end users, organizations get the call, not Microsoft. Since we don't have a good amount of communication about when those come out or what the new features are before they're deployed, we're caught flat-footed. We have to get to our reps to see what the updates were. A much more proactive communication cycle, aside from just putting it out on Twitter, would be fantastic.

They can continue to improve security. Factoring in all the compatibility pieces and security components, there's more improvement to be done outside of Microsoft-specific products themselves. There are multiple operating systems out there. It has gotten better in the last couple of years. However, the reason that RSA and this big conference exist is that we need to have some cybersecurity capabilities above and beyond the standard that comes with the operating system, so an industry has formed around it, and with that, we can get more focused on that part of the product specifically.

I have been using Microsoft Intune for approximately six years.

The reliability and stability of the Microsoft Intune platform are pretty good. I can't say the same thing about Teams, but Microsoft Intune is really good.

Microsoft Intune scales absolutely with the growing needs of my company. When scaling, it's great.

The technical support for Microsoft Intune is really good. I would rate them a ten out of ten.

Positive

We migrated from a mobile and endpoint solution to Microsoft Intune.

Deployment of Microsoft Intune was pretty straightforward and easy.

The biggest return on investment when using Microsoft Intune for me is inter-compatibility with everybody.

It's a bit expensive from a licensing perspective, especially as we look to have organizations with tenants across the globe. Whether in multiple commercial environments or as a clear defense contractor, there are times when we have multiple different user accounts, and we have to pay per seat. It would be great in the future if we were able to automatically associate those types of things within the licensing model.

Before choosing Microsoft Intune, we considered other solutions about six years ago.

I would rate Microsoft Intune overall a seven out of ten. They could continue to improve on the security aspects.

A subset of our staff works remotely. We ship laptops directly to them from our vendor, and they complete the setup process using Microsoft Intune. This process has been working seamlessly.

Microsoft Intune has been a time saver and reduces the time and effort IT admins have to invest.

The user experience with Intune has generally improved since the retirement of the old Silverlight-based legacy portal.

Microsoft Intune's Autopilot has been nice to have. It provides a cloud deployment process where we don't even have to touch the equipment—it arrives provisioned and ready to go.

Historically, Group Policy has simplified the management of various items, such as printer and drive mappings and while Intune offers workarounds, it lacks native support for these functionalities. This is an area I believe needs improvement.

I have been using Microsoft Intune for about five years.

It is nice that we don't have to manage any local on-prem servers. Intune just runs itself.

It's nice that we can provision a bunch of equipment almost immediately without any hands-on involvement.

Microsoft support has significantly improved since we obtained the Enterprise Agreement. Previously, the support we received was not as satisfactory.

Neutral

We previously used SCCM to manage our devices but switched to Microsoft Intune to simplify cloud management when we transitioned to a remote workforce during the pandemic. We are pleased with the transition to Intune.

The initial deployment went smoothly thanks to our Microsoft Enterprise Agreement, which provided access to support and Software Assurance Training hours. The documentation was clear, concise, and easy to implement.

We implemented Microsoft Intune in-house.

Microsoft Intune's Autopatch feature has significantly reduced the time and effort required by IT administrators, resulting in a positive return on investment by streamlining patching processes and increasing efficiency.

Intune is included with our F3 and E5 licenses. However, some suite features should be accessible without additional cost, a sentiment widely echoed online.

We evaluated several solutions, including ManageEngine and Meraki, before ultimately selecting Intune, which was conveniently included in our existing licensing agreement.

There were some aspects that were easier in some of the competitive solutions, but we would have had to pay extra. It wasn't included, so we decided to go with Intune. And overall, as the years progressed, Intune improved some of that functionality.

I would rate Microsoft Intune an eight out of ten for scalability.

I currently use Microsoft Intune for developing integrations with Microsoft Intune for our customers. Recently, we built an integration with Microsoft Intune to support issuance of certificates for users and devices with our product.

Microsoft Intune is really flexible, and we appreciate the way it provides flexibility with the APIs and how it allows integrating with different third-party vendors, products, and certificate authorities, with flexibility around certificate enrollment.

The flexibility of the APIs in Microsoft Intune allowed us to help integrate with the product by ensuring that we solve every use case that we were trying to achieve for user and device certificate enrollment, covering each use case when people were trying to create certificates with different combinations, whether it could be username, device name, serial number, with any specific certificate authority, or any specific subject alternative name, key length, bit length, or anything similar.

Microsoft Intune has added an additional MDM capability that we currently support, which allows our customers to integrate with us more efficiently and effectively. Microsoft Intune is one of the most adopted MDM vendors for user and device certificate enrollment.

If Microsoft Intune would introduce features that allow override options in case someone wants to ensure the values provided as part of the certificate enrollment should be incorporated or if the ones configured in the CA need to be added, an override feature in the configuration would really help.

I have been using Microsoft Intune for four years.

Microsoft Intune is stable.

Microsoft Intune is very flexible with its scalability.

The customer support of Microsoft Intune is excellent.

I did not previously use a different solution.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing was great.

I did not use an implementation team.

There has definitely been a return on investment.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing was great.

I did not evaluate other options before choosing Microsoft Intune.

If you are looking for an MDM provider specifically for user and device certificate enrollment for your BYOD use cases or corporate devices, I believe Microsoft Intune could be one of the best solutions available. I would rate this solution a 9 out of 10.

We are using Microsoft Intune to check device compliance issues, enrolling, patching policies, and deploying applications in end-user devices. We check device status in our Microsoft Intune portal. 

We are using managed policies through Microsoft Intune. We deploy applications through Microsoft Intune. We deploy Windows versions and patches through Microsoft Intune.

Microsoft Intune helps to maintain compliance, deploy applications in end-user devices, and patch Windows updates.

We are protecting our environment by implementing security policies through Microsoft Intune. We can create policies and manage them. We can block access in our users' profiles so they cannot access anything apart from the company site. We have also blocked sites. They cannot install any third-party applications. We have blocked that to secure the user's profile and the system.

The most important feature of Microsoft Intune is that you can patch or allow access to the end-user profile without opening the Active Directory in the jump server. You can access Microsoft Intune in a browser portal and access all functions. You can check all the details of the user's profile and system details. You can find out why a device is under non-compliance, check it, and find the root causes. You can also enroll devices at your own end. 

We can do any updates in Windows through Microsoft Intune. However, due to access limitations, we are unable to deploy certain security features on end-user devices. 

I have been using Microsoft Intune for the last one year.

It is stable. I would rate it an eight out of ten for stability.

It is scalable. I would rate it an eight out of ten for scalability.

We have a lot of clients with 800 to 900 users in multiple countries.

I would rate their support a seven out of ten.

Positive

The initial setup is easy.

Microsoft Intune does not require any maintenance from our end.

It is very safe. All companies are moving to the cloud, and Microsoft Intune has approximately 30% to 40% market share.

Microsoft Intune is the best solution available. We can connect with any device and handle all queries, which sets it apart from other tools available in the market. Most companies are ensuring that Microsoft is their partner as it provides the best solutions. Microsoft Intune is the most growing tool in the market currently.

All MNCs prioritize the security of their products, tools, and users. Microsoft Intune helps maintain this security by deploying necessary patches and implementing policies effectively.

I would rate Microsoft Intune a nine out of ten.
