It makes managing our endpoints easier, saves costs, and improves productivity
Pros and Cons
  • "The automatic patching is the most valuable feature of Intune."
  • "Intune needs to incorporate more tools to reduce the number of third-party applications we rely on."

What is our primary use case?

We use Intune for endpoint management to ensure they are updated with the latest patches. We also leverage Intune to oversee our applications and keep them current. Lastly, we employ Intune's remote tools for endpoint administration.

We implemented Intune to ensure our endpoints were updated.

How has it helped my organization?

Intune brings all our endpoints and security management tools into one place.

Intune is integrated with Defender to manage our security policies.

The user experience is good. Intune is easy to use and deploy.

Intune has significantly improved our IT productivity by automating the updates for Windows and third-party applications. This automation reduces costs and improves efficiency, allowing us to adopt a set-and-forget approach to software maintenance.

What is most valuable?

The automatic patching is the most valuable feature of Intune.

What needs improvement?

Intune needs to incorporate more tools to reduce the number of third-party applications we rely on. For instance, I currently use PatchMyPC to package new applications for Intune and then deploy them to endpoints. If Intune offered this functionality natively, we wouldn't need to rely so heavily on third-party applications.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Microsoft Intune for almost four years.

How are customer service and support?

The technical support by Microsoft is terrible. 

How would you rate customer service and support?

Negative

How was the initial setup?

The initial deployment was complex, requiring an expert for setup. It took one week to complete and involved one system administrator and me.

What about the implementation team?

The implementation was completed in-house.

What was our ROI?

We have seen a return on investment from Intune through time saved, which correlates to around $20,000 per year.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate Microsoft Intune seven out of ten. Intune is a valuable tool, but following the screen prompts can sometimes be challenging.

Two of us are responsible for the maintenance of Intune.

Is cost efficient and easy to deploy, but the support is subpar
Pros and Cons
  • "The Mobile Device Management in Intune is a valuable feature."
  • "We've faced significant pushback with Copilot as our clients aren't seeing a favorable cost-benefit analysis."

What is our primary use case?

We've experimented with and deployed Autopilot for building and deploying software through Intune, utilizing Intune policies to modify Azure AD joined systems, now referred to as Entra joined. This covers the entire scope of Intune that we've explored and implemented.

We are a consulting company with extensive experience in deploying Intune. We utilize Intune for hybrid join Entra machines. For clients who have the necessary licenses, while Intune is not a full-fledged Remote Monitoring and Management solution, it can serve as an effective replacement for RMM if you are a Managed Service Provider.

How has it helped my organization?

While more mature tools exist for securing hybrid work and protecting data on BYOD and company devices, Intune is a viable option for clients who want to leverage MDM with their Premium or E3 license, especially if cost is a major concern. Despite some challenges with Samsung Knox and iOS devices, Intune has shown improvement, and these issues are less frequent. As Microsoft doesn't have a native phone, limitations are inevitable.

What is most valuable?

The Mobile Device Management in Intune is a valuable feature.

What needs improvement?

Microsoft recently separated Defender into Security. Intune does not centralize all endpoint and security management tools into one place. It used to be more centralized.

The Microsoft support has been subpar for some time now. Troubleshooting issues often require us to involve a partner, which isn't an ideal or easily manageable solution given the challenges with Microsoft support. We need a reliable partner, but that partnership might still require Microsoft's assistance.

We've faced significant pushback with Copilot as our clients aren't seeing a favorable cost-benefit analysis. Many are opting for ChatGPT Enterprise instead of integrating Copilot into their workflows. We initially expected significant value from Copilot, but Microsoft's pricing is excessive, and the product itself is not exceptional. It remains quite rudimentary in its current state.

Microsoft should not rely on partners to fix issues. While users can open tickets with Microsoft, they often cannot resolve the problems themselves and must engage a partner. This is not an à la carte solution. Perhaps when Copilot eventually becomes available, it will address this. It's not Intune's fault, as it is used frequently.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Microsoft Intune for ten years.

How are customer service and support?

The technical support is not good.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Negative

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We tried numerous solutions prior to Intune, but Microsoft's inclusion of it within their licensing model incentivized us to adopt it. Since we were already paying for the license, it made sense to leverage its full potential and maximize our investment.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

If you're subscribing to Premium or E3, there are no additional costs for Intune, it's included. However, with lower-tier plans, you don't get the full suite of security features. Depending on your specific licenses, you might have some level of Advanced Threat Protection, Endpoint Detection Response, or other Defender tools, but not the complete package. Generally, for around 300 users, you get decent protection with Defender for desktop and server – it's a good value. But with E5 licenses, you're at the enterprise level, and you get what you pay for, so expect add-ons. I don't think Microsoft would position Intune as a primary security product anymore, given their recent cloud changes and the focus on Defender. Intune is useful for patching, but it's not a comprehensive security solution in itself. That's why Microsoft has rebranded their security offerings under security.microsoft.com.

What other advice do I have?

I rate Intune six out of ten.

Many of our clients with premium or E3 or above licenses use Intune because it's included in their Microsoft solution. They prefer to leverage a Microsoft product over a third-party alternative. Additionally, Intune allows us to maximize the value of our clients' existing licenses. Therefore, if a client has a premium license, has under 300 users, or is on E3 or above, there's no reason to use another solution when Intune is readily available.

Microsoft recently transitioned from Intune to Endpoint, then back to Intune. Additionally, they moved certain security aspects of Purview into a separate deployment, as is the case with their ATP Defender Suite. This shift signifies a move away from a single, unified management interface to a more distributed model.

We use the enterprise application management feature to roll out apps. While there are better tools available for app discovery, deployment, and automatic updating, Intune's inclusion in the Microsoft bundle keeps costs down. Although Intune may not be the ideal solution for automated application deployment or MDM, its integration with Microsoft licenses makes it a worthwhile option, especially with the expectation of future improvements from Microsoft.

We use the Advanced Endpoint Analytics but it is no longer in Intune. It's been moved over to the security portal for Defender.

The endpoint analytics feature, which helps proactively detect and remediate anomalies and endpoints, is now part of Microsoft Defender formerly known as Advanced Threat Protection. Gartner rates it very highly. To perform threat hunting, we need the appropriate licensing, such as a P2 Defender license. This functionality is not available within Intune. We are transitioning from the older Advanced Threat Protection to the newer Microsoft Defender platform. Previously, configuration was done through Intune, but now we manage it through the Microsoft security site.

My advice for any organization that is already paying for a Premium or above Microsoft license is to deploy Intune because it makes financial sense. Intune is not a bad tool but if they run into any issues, the Microsoft support is no good so they need to rely on a good partner to help resolve the issue.

Microsoft cannot fully replicate the functionality of a Remote Monitoring and Management tool. However, it could incorporate certain RMM features into its existing products or develop new tools that complement RMM solutions.

By implementing Intune, we are exposing aspects of our infrastructure to the cloud that traditionally would remain on-premises. This means relying heavily on Microsoft's infrastructure and security. As we saw a few years ago with the Department of Justice's issues, which were clearly Microsoft-related, placing all our trust in one provider can lead to potential problems. However, despite these concerns, we have not encountered any security issues with Intune to date. But at the end of the day, we are maximizing our license.

Intune deployment is straightforward if you're well-prepared, whether for a hybrid setup or a purely Azure-based one. Packaging new apps is generally well-documented, but troubleshooting can be trickier. There are helpful PowerShell scripts available, though they might not be easy to find.

Improves security, offers excellent mobile device management and is easy to set up
Pros and Cons
  • "The mobile device management is very useful."
  • "There are a lot of updates happening on Microsoft."

What is our primary use case?

I'm working with InTune on the user side. It's used for device enrollment and mobile device management. It's used for remote desktops and remote control for compliance. 

How has it helped my organization?

The solution helped us resolve user enrollment issues. Sometimes, users want to reset, for example, file server systems and Intune ensures a user can't just enroll any new systems.

What is most valuable?

The mobile device management is very useful. With mobile device management, we can monitor everything and control devices. We can monitor devices and fix things on remote desktops. 

Intune brings all endpoints and security management tools into one place. This helps us monitor everything from one portal. We can exclude any PowerShell command. It helps us not only monitor for but also fix any problems. We can add and remove items remotely from any device from a single place. 

The solution has a helpful feature called Co-Pilot. We can access it via the portal and configure it as we need. However, I have not used it myself. 

We use Intune with a hybrid model. We can connect it easily to other services. 

With the ability to monitor everything from one place, our security is quite good. The level of security is better. I'd rate the level of security we've been able to achieve ten out of ten.

It's positively affected IT productivity in our organization. Having Intune has made our IT engineers more effective. They can use the cloud portal from anywhere and at any time to easily adjust or deploy whatever users need. 

We've been able to save money compared to using SCCM. Intune has helped from a cost-savings perspective, although I can't speak to exact costs. 

What needs improvement?

There are a lot of updates happening on Microsoft.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used the solution for about six months. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I haven't had any challenges with stability.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I haven't come across any limitations in terms of scalability. 

How are customer service and support?

I've never had to reach out to technical support.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I also use VMware. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was straightforward. We simply needed to create an account don't he Microsoft side and then we can go and get licenses. 

I administrate and maintain Intune for the company.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I don't have any visibility in regards to Intune pricing. 

What other advice do I have?

I'd recommend Intune to others. I'd rate Intune ten out of ten. 

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Very helpful for managing remote devices, but it is very costly
Pros and Cons
  • "Being able to manage the devices remotely is most valuable. We can push security requirements through Microsoft Intune."
  • "Cost is the biggest factor for us right now. Microsoft Intune and AD P1 together in a bundle is a good thing to have, but it is very costly compared to other products in the market. Otherwise, Microsoft Intune is the best."

What is our primary use case?

We are mainly using Microsoft Intune for the security of people who are working from home. It is being used for BYOD.

We enforce and push policies and enforce security requirements through Microsoft Intune. We also use it for deploying applications and monitoring the devices remotely.

How has it helped my organization?

Microsoft Intune has simplified our mobile application management a lot. Managing devices that are in users' homes is very tough without Microsoft Intune. Remote management is very easy because of Microsoft Intune.

For maintaining our device security, the best feature is that it works with Azure Active Directory Premium One license. There is conditional access, which is something very unique, so if a machine is compliant and Microsoft Intune is installed on it, only then users can access our Office 365 data. It is not just a feature of Microsoft Intune but also of AD P1.

Microsoft Intune brings all of our endpoint and security management tools into one place. It has made our IT and security operations easy. With a single console, we can manage our devices.

Microsoft Intune provides full endpoint visibility and IT control across device platforms.

Microsoft Intune is simple, and it does not interfere at all with users. Users do not even know that Microsoft Intune is installed on the machine.

Application deployment through Microsoft Intune has affected the IT productivity in our organization. Previously, our IT department used to take remote control of the machine using some software. They used to manually do the installation, whereas now, they can simultaneously push an application on all the machines through Microsoft Intune. That saves us a lot of time and manpower.

Microsoft Intune has been helpful for securing hybrid work and protecting data on company and BYO devices. We have deployed BitLocker policies through Microsoft Intune to ensure that the data is encrypted on those devices. We have also disabled USB pen drives and other things on remote machines.

Microsoft Intune has improved our IT productivity a lot because we have remote users. If our users were local, it would not help much, but because we have remote users across the country, it helps a lot.

The improvement in IT productivity has also saved us costs. Previously, we needed more people to do the installations, remote monitoring, and all that, whereas now, with the single console of Microsoft Intune, all these tasks are much easier. A single person can manage hundreds of computers. We need three people less now.

Microsoft Intune has helped to reduce the risk of security breaches in our organization.

Microsoft Intune has helped us to consolidate vendors. With Microsoft Intune, security management is there and mobile device management is also there. Both these things could have been from a different vendor.

Microsoft Intune integrates well with other Microsoft products. It works well with other Microsoft products. There is a seamless integration.

What is most valuable?

Being able to manage the devices remotely is most valuable. We can push security requirements through Microsoft Intune. We previously used to do this through group policy for Active Directory, and now, we use Microsoft Intune for managing devices. This is the best thing about Microsoft Intune.

Apart from Microsoft Windows, we can do remote device management of Android and iOS devices. We can enforce security policies for Android and iOS devices.

The user interface of Microsoft Intune is good. It is easy to use.

What needs improvement?

Cost is the biggest factor for us right now. Microsoft Intune and AD P1 together in a bundle is a good thing to have, but it is very costly compared to other products in the market. Otherwise, Microsoft Intune is the best.

Their support can also be better.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Microsoft Intune for the last two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is very stable. I have not had any issues. I would rate it a 9 out of 10 for stability.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is definitely scalable. I would rate it a 9 out of 10 for scalability.

How are customer service and support?

Their response time is poor, and the resolution capability is not good. Even after having a call with their customer care, there is a 50/50 chance of them solving the problem.

I would rate their support a 6 out of 10.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We did not buy any similar solution previously.

How was the initial setup?

For some customers, it is a hybrid deployment, and for some customers, it is a pure cloud deployment. Our customers are medium and large enterprises. They are not small businesses.

Its deployment is of medium complexity. If it is a hybrid environment, it is fairly complex. If it is a pure cloud environment, it is easy.

The deployment duration depends on the number of users we have or the number of computers we have. For a setup with 100 users or 100 computers, it takes about two weeks. It may require some troubleshooting and tweaking.

What about the implementation team?

One person is required for its deployment.

It does not require much maintenance from our side. It is normally always up to date. Once it is set, we do not need to touch it.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I recently got to know that the AD P1 license is compulsory to use Intune Autopilot, which was surprising for me. Earlier, this was not the case. It is the wrong thing to do. We now need to purchase AD P1 licenses for us and for our customers. I would rate it a 7 out of 10 for pricing.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We evaluated a few solutions.

What other advice do I have?

I would recommend Microsoft Intune to others. If somebody has a Microsoft environment, Microsoft Intune is definitely the best solution for managing people who are working from home or remotely. 

It is improving day by day. New features are coming up.

I would rate Microsoft Intune a 7 out of 10.

Replaces on-premise tools and enables us to almost completely manage a machine
Pros and Cons
  • "We were able to deploy about 65 computers in under two weeks to a completely remote user base without touching any of the machines."
  • "Every time we call, we get bounced to a new team... there is no cohesive end-to-end support, which is very frustrating and time-consuming."

What is our primary use case?

The main use cases that I had or have with Microsoft Intune include laptop deployments coupled with Autopilot and day-to-day management of laptops, including patching.

How has it helped my organization?

We were able to deploy about 65 computers in under two weeks to a completely remote user base without touching any of the machines. This year was a pure cloud environment. We got rid of their Active Directory joins, and they are running purely in a cloud environment.

What is most valuable?

The features that I find the best with Microsoft Intune are its ability to completely replace all the on-premise tools for group policy and similar functions. It now gives the ability to almost fully and completely manage a machine. 

When I first started, the user experience was okay, but it has improved significantly over the last few years.

What needs improvement?

Autopilot still leaves room for improvement regarding monitoring deployments and troubleshooting deployments.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have dealt with Microsoft Intune for approximately four and a half to five years.

How are customer service and support?

I would rate Microsoft support as six out of ten. This is a challenging area because every time we call, we get bounced to a new team. This is an area they could improve. Each time you call in, they tell you that it is not their team's responsibility. You get partway through the solution, and then they say that at this point it becomes another team's responsibility, so you have to start over with them. There is no cohesive end-to-end support, which is very frustrating and time-consuming.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Before using Microsoft Intune, we were using a fully manual process, and we transitioned from fully manual to fully automated.

How was the initial setup?

It is straightforward in terms of the UI, but it can be complex to set up because you are working blind with everything on the machine.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Microsoft Intune is not cheap. Microsoft has consistently separated features and charges additional fees, which makes it a much steeper climb from a budgeting aspect because you need to buy something new frequently.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We did not consider other options. Microsoft Intune was our preferred and first choice, and we were going to look at anything else only if it failed, which it did not.

What other advice do I have?

We are not using Copilot in Microsoft Intune yet. We are just starting to use the advanced endpoint analytics in the Microsoft Intune suite. Initially, we could not use them because we did not have licenses for them, so we are just transitioning over to them. The advanced endpoint analytics are helping us with detecting and remediating anomalies and endpoints. We have used these capabilities to find old certificates and unexpected web browser extensions, but since we are just getting started, I am not sure of its full capabilities.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Microsoft Intune to others but advise being prepared for an ever-growing cost.

I would rate Microsoft Intune an eight out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Offers ease of use but needs to improve the tunnel gateway
Pros and Cons
  • "I have seen a return on investment right from the start of the tool's usage."
  • "The tool's tunnel gateway is not very good, making it an area where improvements are required."

What is our primary use case?

My company has over 7,000 devices, including mobile devices, Windows, and Mac. The tool is only used to manage my team's mobile devices.

What is most valuable?

The solution's most valuable features are its ease of use and control of the MAM and MDM policies and configuration. The tool is straightforward and easy to use, while it also integrates with Azure. It has been a good product so far.

The tool has improved the way my team works as it is a cloud-based tool, so we don't have to manage on-prem servers. We also use apps on Microsoft Office 365, which is also one of the main reasons why we use Microsoft Intune.

I use the enterprise application management features of the tool, and my experience with it has been pretty good. Microsoft tells us that there are no bug issues with the updated versions or current versions, so there are no issues in the tool.

I use Microsoft Intune's Cloud PKI, and it helps manage the complexity of certificate management in infrastructure pretty well. There are no issues with certs or updating them.

Microsoft Intune has not affected my IT productivity, but it is not a very Android-friendly tool. We have had a lot of Android issues and compatibility problems with our VPN or tunnel. The tool is not very Android-friendly.

The maintenance of the tool is a lot less now for our company.

With the day to day device management tasks, the tool has been great, and there have rarely been any issues with it.

The mobile application management policies, specifically conditional access policies and app protection policies, are good features for managing diverse mobile environments. The DLP part is very strong.

What needs improvement?

The tool's tunnel gateway is not very good, making it an area where improvements are required. I wish it weren't so Azure's security group-based tool with which you can have local accounts. More personalization should be possible in the tool. One negative about Microsoft Intune is it acts too much as one of Azure's group-based products.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Microsoft Intune for half a year. I am just a customer of the solution.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I think the scalability is pretty easy and a lot easier to manage since we don't have to deal with the on-premises side. We use the cloud for extra storage, so it has been great.

How are customer service and support?

My experience with the solution's technical support has been very good, but for other teams, it has not been very good. I rate the technical support a nine out of ten.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

My company previously had some on-premises tools, but now it is cloud-based, so we save all the money on the network infrastructure and data centers. We don't need servers or storage, and it helps us save money.

How was the initial setup?

When it comes to the product's deployment phase, I have taken part in the mobility side. In our company, we went through a migration, so there is always a lot of planning and testing and all that goes with it. Overall, it is fairly easy to use because it is deployed on a SaaS model.

The solution is deployed using a dedicated SaaS model. I think other teams have deployed it using an on-premises model.

The solution's deployment phase took a year and a half to test and set up everything. There was a lot of stuff involved.

What was our ROI?

In our company, prior to our migration, we already had Office 365 licenses, so it saved us around 4,00,000 for around a year.

I have seen a return on investment right from the start of the tool's usage.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I don't really know how much it costs, as my company pays for a bunch of licenses. The tool is cheaper than our company's other MDM tools.

What other advice do I have?

My company has a few of Microsoft Intune's compliance policies that have helped us with some of the issues with sync interval with the compliance that we have noticed. The sync interval or the turnaround is not as quick as our company would like it to be currently. I understand that we can't control the sync interval.

I rate the tool a seven and a half out of ten.

An easy platform for device management, security, and productivity
Pros and Cons
  • "Intune saves time, and it is very easy to use. It allows us to manage applications completely."
  • "If we could remote into a device, it would be great. Currently, we cannot directly connect to the user device. We have to use other tools such as VMware for connecting to devices."

What is our primary use case?

Intune is a cloud-based platform for mobile application management and mobile device management. We can deploy applications on user devices and enroll user devices. We can enroll devices as per the organization's security policies. The devices comply with all the policies of the organization. We can also change the policies at the backend via Intune.

How has it helped my organization?

Intune helps with enrollments and securities. We can control the access to devices and users. We can specify what users can do. We can give role-based access. For example, a person working as a normal user does not require the same access as a manager. We can give access to users based on their roles. For example, a manager can add users to a particular group, but users cannot do that. We can restrict a user from doing certain activities. For example, we can restrict the user from using a camera or microphone. We can do such a configuration at the backend and deploy it to the user device.

Intune is very helpful for IT and security operations. If Intune is not there, we have to manually connect to user devices and deploy the changes. If we have thousands of devices, doing this manually on each and every device is very difficult. With Intune, we just configure the required settings and deploy them to a thousand devices in a single group. In a single step, we can add devices to a group. We can apply configuration easily. It is very helpful. It saves time. Adding or configuring devices manually takes a few months, whereas the same thing can be done with Intune within minutes.

We have had a very good experience. It is a Microsoft product. Everything related to a user is available. We have user names, user devices' names, and user licenses. We can also check the device compliance. We can see whether the device complies with the company policies or not.

Application updates and patching are available through Intune. We can also change group policy settings and registry settings of a device via Intune. We can change these settings without connecting the device. We can do that by deploying the PowerShell script or configuration profiles. For example, a kiosk device should stay up for hours and hours. It should not go to sleep. You can configure such devices to not go to sleep until 999 minutes. It is a very long time. If we enable such settings and add a particular user device group in the configuration, after the device starts syncing with the policy, no device will go to sleep.

With the Advanced Endpoint Analytics, we can see the application installation status. If we deploy a script to the user, we can see the status. We can see if it is a success or if there is a conflict. We can monitor the changes in user devices and check the compliance status. We can see if any app such as CrowdStrike is not updated.

With the help of Advanced Endpoint Analytics, we can proactively detect and remediate anomalies in endpoints. We can then reach out to users.

Intune saves us a lot of time. If we package an application using virtual packaging or physical packaging, it will take nearly two to three hours to package a single application. If we do this in Intune, it takes just minutes to add applications and deploy users. We can also monitor the particular application status in Intune.

The devices that are linked with Azure Active Directory are automatically linked with Intune. That makes the enrollment and management of BYO devices easy.

Intune has affected IT productivity in our organization. By saving time, it has automatically improved productivity.

Intune certainly saves costs. Without a cloud-based solution like Intune, we would require more IT staff.

What is most valuable?

Microsoft releases updates every second Tuesday. We can deploy those updates from Intune. We can also do patching through Intune. We can do quality updates and feature updates from Intune. We can also monitor the application status in Intune. We can see which applications are installed, pending, or available to install. We can see these things in Intune.

It is user-friendly. We can also troubleshoot any issues.

Intune saves time, and it is very easy to use. It allows us to manage applications completely.

What needs improvement?

If we could remote into a device, it would be great. Currently, we cannot directly connect to the user device. We have to use other tools such as VMware for connecting to devices.

If there are any issues, we should be able to connect through the Intune portal. The administrator should not have to go anywhere from the portal. He should be able to do everything from the portal.

Intune does not show whether a device is online or offline. It just shows the last login. It would be useful to know whether a device is online or offline.

We can see the issue related to updates in the Intune portal, but we cannot do anything from the Intune end. We have to connect to the user's device manually. We also need a better understanding of why the update is not happening on a particular device. It will decrease the time to troubleshoot the issues.

At times, there have been slowness issues with the company portal. It takes time to load and does not show the application status.

It would be great if there is a way to generate a PowerShell script to do certain things. Learning the PowerShell script is not easy, so such a feature would be helpful. Based on what we want, if it can automatically generate a script, it would be helpful.

It is not necessary, but it would be great if they added a messaging system in Intune. For example, when it is a shared device, a number of users log in to the device. In the case of any issue, it would be great to be able to directly message a user from Intune. Currently, there is no option for that, but if it could be done, it would be a very good thing.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with this solution for the last 18 months.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is 100% stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is very scalable.

We have about 12,000 devices and 20,000 users.

How are customer service and support?

So far, I have not raised any questions with them.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I have worked with Microsoft SCCM. It is similar to Intune but not as user-friendly as Intune. Intune is very easy to understand. Its framework is very good. Microsoft SCCM is very old.

I have not worked with any other vendor. 

How was the initial setup?

I am involved in the deployments, enrollments, troubleshooting errors, and monitoring in Intune. I take care of adding devices, users, and licenses, deploying policies, and configuring policies and scripts.

Its deployment does not require much. We just need a license to operate it. Our management takes care of that. There are a few licenses that are active only for nine hours. After nine hours, the roles are deactivated.

It does not require any maintenance from our end.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

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.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I did not evaluate any other option. This was my first project, and I started as an Intune administrator.

What other advice do I have?

It is a very good tool. It is easy to learn. You can expect quick assistance from Intune.

Before using Intune, I would recommend learning about Windows. Learn about the registry, configurations, and group policies. If you know these, it is easy to learn Intune.

You can face enrollment errors if the prerequisites are not met. For example, to upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11, you need to have some amount of free space or RAM. If you do not care about the prerequisites and just enroll the device, it causes issues. It will affect the device, and you need to enroll the device again.

I would rate Intune a nine out of ten.

Integrates company policies efficiently and has a straightforward setup process
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution has significantly improved managing a diverse range of devices. We have observed enhancements across Android, iOS, and Windows devices."
  • "There could be more competent processes and improvements in the policy space."

What is our primary use case?

We use the product to enroll devices, install configurations, and manage apps across our infrastructure. We address issues related to app protection policies, conditional access, and custom policies with its help.

How has it helped my organization?

The solution has significantly improved managing a diverse range of devices. We have observed enhancements across Android, iOS, and Windows devices.

What is most valuable?

One of the product's best features is its ability to integrate company policies and configurations into applications directly.

What needs improvement?

There could be more competent processes and improvements in the policy space. If devices follow the rules, it will benefit the company. If they do not, it will lead to non-compliance. We have been able to implement some common policies, such as data sharing, handling rooted devices, and managing cyber-available data. We are working on latency and permissions, including PIN tests and direct access to information, to enhance the overall process.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have four years of experience working with Microsoft Intune.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The product is stable. I rate the stability a ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I rate the platform scalability a ten.

How are customer service and support?

The technical support services are satisfactory. 

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

The product can be deployed on the cloud or on-premises. 

First, we access the Azure portal by browsing the URL and searching for Intune. Later, we can directly log in to the endpoint management section.

We create and assign licenses to use these tools and then provide users with instructions. Users have to download the company portal and follow the setup steps, which include entering necessary personal information, accepting terms, and managing settings.

Next, we handle the installation process within the company. We need to trust the application by selecting the appropriate option. If applicable, we enable settings on mobile devices. Following that, users must log in and configure settings as required. These options and settings are available through the company portal. The process is straightforward, and it doesn't require maintenance.

What was our ROI?

The product has helped save money. I would estimate that it has saved around 20% of the investment.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The product is expensive. 

What other advice do I have?

Microsoft Intune provides everything in one place and streamlines our security operations significantly. It has impacted IT productivity across different devices, including Android, AWS, and Windows.

We use application management within Intune Suite. For instance, on Windows devices, we create and manage applications through a structured process. It involves configuring firewall settings, managing OS types, and ensuring that PC applications are updated regularly. We typically make monthly changes and create and manage application packages to maintain quality and compliance.

Copilot has simplified our operations by streamlining the issue management process. For instance, we can efficiently address and resolve issues when we receive tickets. It assists with authentication and other Intune-related tasks, which helps us handle hardware-related issues more effectively.

Intune helps secure hybrid work environments by managing both company-owned and bring-your-own devices. You can enforce policies to convert personal devices into compliant company devices, ensuring that data is protected regardless of whether the device is company-owned or personal.

Endpoint privilege management is integrated into our endpoint management system. It helps us manage and control permissions for various applications and endpoints. It allows us to enforce least-privileged access, which helps minimize security risks. I use it in my organization to enforce the least privileged access. It involves managing access through various channels and ensuring users sign in and complete necessary audits. The process is designed to act as a mediator.

I recommend it to other users and rate it a ten.
