Microsoft Intune Reviews

I am an IT support engineer. I take care of all IT projects in my organization. I have implemented Intune and onboarded thousands of devices over Intune. I'm not an end-user. I am supporting our employees with IT policies.

I can reach devices or computers over the internet. I don't need to worry about the network connectivity between the offices. I can manage any device. That is the most important part. 

The Mobile Application Management (MAM) policy is also valuable. I can control applications, and I can secure applications by using the MAM policy. It is very effective and very helpful in protecting our users' data on mobile devices such as iPhones, Android phones, etc. I can apply policies, and I can protect user data.

I can also deploy the software and applications and do configurations. Windows autopilot is there. It is like self-provisioning on employees' computers. That is also an important part.

The most important thing is reporting. They should improve their reporting. They should give a free hand to users. In SCCM, I can create my own reports. For example, in SCCM, I can create an inventory report for my PC or for all PCs, but in Intune, we don't have an option to create any report. Microsoft claims that Intune is a successor of SCCM, but SCCM is more powerful than Intune. So, they should develop Intune more and make it equivalent to SCCM. Then, their product will be great in the market.

If I want to deploy an application, I cannot add multiple schedules. I can add only one schedule, and I need to rely on that. Adding multiple schedules over a period of time is not possible at this time.

I cannot evaluate any setting before deploying anything. In SCCM, we have the Compliance Baseline feature. If I want to check any service or anything else, I can do that, but in Intune, that is not available. There are very few compliance policies. They say whether your device is compliant or not, but if they don't provide enough and better compliance policies, why should I be compliant with those policies? They should give more options for the compliance policies so that we can choose something better, and we can make our devices comply with those policies. 

It lacks in terms of analytics. Analytics and all such things are not good, which again comes down to the reporting part. It should be better in terms of analytics and reporting. 

It also lacks in terms of automation. If we want to automate some of the things, we need to spend more time on automation. Other tools in the market are giving better automation graphically. So, they can work on that part.

Their support should also be improved. They don't know about their own product.

I have been using this solution for the last six months.

It is very stable. So, whatever features they provide are working great. There are no problems with those features.

My experience with them was very bad. They don't know about their own product. I know better than them by going through their articles and other resources. When I ask them anything, they come up with silly answers. They are making me feel frustrated. I have had a very bad experience with their support.

Its initial setup is very easy. We don't need to deploy any servers anywhere. With just a few clicks, we can set up Intune. We just need to set the MDM authority, and we need to set the automatic enrollment. That's it.

Most of the mobile device management tools are giving the same facility. I don't have experience with VMware Workspace ONE, but I have been reading about it. VMware Workspace ONE also gives similar features in a slightly different way, but the objective of all such tools is the same. 

I would rate Microsoft Intune a five out of 10 because they are still developing it.

We use the solution to manage the Microsoft apps on company-owned devices. 

The product has eased the deployment of Microsoft apps to the devices. We can manage it properly. We can control it and push the updates. Another company helped us with the deployment. However, we can do it internally. 

Microsoft Intune's most valuable feature is easy management. It also keeps our devices secure. 

Microsoft Intune needs to improve the initial login process.

I have been working with the product for two years. 

Microsoft Intune's stability is good.

We have seen ROI with the tool's use. 

We don't have to worry about security after deploying Microsoft Intune. We can manage the security of our data and apps on the devices by using a single authentication mode. I will use it again if I have to make a choice. I rate the product an eight out of ten. You need to consider user experience when making the choice. 

Mobile device management is the main thing for which we are using it. My role is to review the implementation.

Mobile device management is most valuable.

We only have major classifications for iOS and Android, but there are different brands that have different cycles of updates. If they can fine-tune it to make it more brand-specific, that would be even better.

I've been using this solution for three and a half years.

It's stable. I'd rate it an eight out of ten in terms of stability.

It's very scalable. I'd rate it a ten out of ten in terms of scalability.

It was deployed for an environment with multiple locations. There are about 500 end users. Our clients are mostly small-sized organizations.

I'd rate the previous vendor with which we had the contract a ten out of ten. We now have a new vendor. They haven't yet started.

We used BlackBerry. We switched because that was getting outdated, and it didn't have all the features that Intune has. Intune is continuously being improved because of the cloud service.

I reviewed its implementation. It was straightforward. There were some technical difficulties in getting it started, but after we resolved them, it was easy. There were some architectural issues we had to resolve because we had legacy architecture.

It was a consultancy service that was provided by us. There were about five people involved. One was a specialist; one was an architect. There were two different engineers having different specialties, and there was a project manager.

We have an engineer who works on the maintenance. There is a team of two engineers to manage Intune as well as Office 365.

There were quite a few, but this was the main solution that we looked at because Microsoft solutions integrate well with other Microsoft solutions.

I'd advise getting rid of legacy stuff. You need to go to the new architecture and new OS. The infrastructure should be matching for the Intune implementation. Otherwise, you will have a problem. That's what we faced. We had to upgrade all our operating systems.

Overall, I'd rate Intune an eight out of ten.

I use Intune to manage all the organization's PCs.

We use a local Active Directory, but we weren't able to manage all our on-site systems without a solution like Intune, and we needed to deploy software like VPNs and other things. It's seamless now to do this through Intune.

The reporting is subpar. That's the only issue we have with Intune. We use another solution for that purpose. 

I have used Intune for about two years.

Intune is stable. 

Intune is scalable.

We purchased our licenses locally. We contact the reseller when we have support issues, and they contact Microsoft support. We've only needed to contact them once or twice. 

Deploying Intune isn't easy, but it isn't too complicated. Someone with two or three years of experience can do it. I completed the initial installation quickly, but migration took a long time because it's a manual process. We deployed Intune in-house with only two people. 

After deployment, Intune doesn't require any maintenance. It's a cloud solution, so Microsoft is responsible for maintaining it. However, we need to handle any tenant-level configuration.

Intune has somewhat of a monopoly. There aren't many alternatives for this kind of solution, so we have to pay what they're asking. Still, I think it's reasonable. 

We are primarily using Microsoft products, so our options were Google Cloud or Intune. We decided that it was better to go with Intune because the learning curve would be steeper with Google. 

I rate Microsoft Intune eight out of 10. We have never faced any serious issues with Intune. My advice to future users is to plan before you deploy or migrate. 

It helps me to safeguard my identities in terms of conditional access. If a person is using it from outside the office, there would be MFAs that are mandatory. However, the moment they're inside the office, they're probably not using it. There are MDM features, which are my corporate-owned devices. It can be used for MA features and for BYOD scenarios. I have tested it on VPN certification authentication and it works in those areas as well. 

The dashboard is good.

We find the solution to be mostly stable.

The scalability is good.

We've largely been happy with technical support.

This product works very well for companies already using the full Microsoft suite. 

There could be some more security without compromising productivity. They could provide some advisories that alert you as to whether the device is secure or not. They need to be able to show us if there is something malicious happening or not. It would be really nice to have something there that could protect us from malicious activities or ransomware. 

I'd like more reports and KPIs available. We'd like these to be visible so users can be assured their devices are secure. 

The initial setup is a little bit complex.

I've pretty much used the solution since its inception. I've used it from 2012 onwards. However, since 2015, it rapidly began changing the nature of its utilization. I've used it for the last five or six years under this new utilization.

There is always a noise when you are going to manage any endpoint devices, and noise is definitely there with this solution. However, I would estimate it is 70% to 80% is stable. You have to manage it, have to face daily operational issues, which we are doing.

If a company needs to scale the solution, it can do so. It's cloud-based, which makes it easy to expand as needed.

We've used technical support in the past. We have given them feedback. They are good. They keep improving and adding. They keep giving more insights around it. I really like the approach overall that they have.

I am familiar with a similar IBM-based product. If you have a Microsoft-based suite, InTune makes more sense, however, if a company uses something else - such as Google - IBM may be more suited. 

At an enterprise level, it is always a complex initial setup. However, with the cloud, if you use that and you start from scratch, it would be pretty simple plug-and-play. That said, the moment the data comes in from the enterprise, there are complexities as there's only one system you are going to have to handle multiple devices and users from 300 to 30,000 to 300,000. It depends on how you are going to handle it.

For per device, it is not much work to set up the solution as there are only one or two apps that need to be installed. For policy conservation and many other things, you require some time to think about what needs to be done. You usually, for example, create the profile, which takes a month's time - or a month and a half.

You do not need much of a team technical team for the deployment. You just require a couple of experts - at least one or two - who have a good understanding.  We have around ten people involved in active management of it, and that includes a 24/7 support team to help manage different devices.

We are able to implement the solution for our clients. 

There is a per-user-based license and that is a licensing mechanism. You can pay yearly or monthly.

I'm a user and a consultant. I deploy this solution for clients and migrate to it.

If a client is using a lot of Microsoft, it's a great product to have. It integrates really, really well with everything. However, if a company has a non-Microsoft suite, I wouldn't suggest this as an option. Google and IBM also have suites that might have better solutions that would work for non-Microsoft users.

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten overall. 

Effectively, we are using Microsoft Endpoint Manager, which is a mix of Intune and CCM. I'm not sure if there's a specific category for that.

We are using it mainly for the office workers, for the regular laptops. On top of that, we got our fairly specialized devices on our factories, such as the tag down Zebra Scanners, the RealWear glasses - the augmented reality ones and the kiosks as well. Those are the main use cases.

The solution offers very good integration with broader enterprise systems.

The scaling seems to be okay.

It works well if you have a Microsoft environment.

The solution allows companies to capitalize on costs, especially if they are a Microsoft shop.

The product needs better management support, for sure, especially between non-Microsoft applications. It would be good, for example, to have some Chrome OS support.

The solution requires baselines within the web console. That's something that is missing. 

They need better delegation capabilities in the reporting.

The solution requires Mac support.

We've used the solution for about two years at this point. 

Recently, the scalability seems not to be very good. There are minor incidents appearing quite frequently. Besides that, from an overall standpoint, compared to Workspace ONE, it's much more stable.

The solution is scalable.

We have about 70,000 users on it.

We are using this solution extensively. We use it for daily routines. It's one of our core services. It's used by our end-users.

We are increasing it. We are willing to extend it in the near future.

We are not satisfied with technical support. Some improvements might be required.

We did previously use VMware. We tried mainly to reduce some costs. This product seems to come as a part of a bundle, which slightly reduces costs. Also, VMware had plenty of functionalities that were not necessarily fitting into our landscape. We were not able to capitalize on the cost of the process. They didn't have any great integrations with broader enterprise systems.

The initial setup was quite straightforward.

We do not need much staff for the maintenance of the solution. It's pretty low maintenance.

Our team handled the setup. Our internet team did it. We didn't need any integrators or consultants. 

We have a broader enterprise agreement which is set up as a four-year period.

In terms of extra costs, there may be some infrastructure costs, especially for the on-premise part of the solution.

I'm a service manager right now.  I'm a little bit within the scope of the consultant versus the advisor.

We're using the latest version of the solution.

Potential new users need to strongly assess their needs. If they are already on Microsoft stack, they shouldn't look for any other solution than that. If their daily usage or utilization or needs are varied and they have a variety of devices, not necessarily based on Windows or other standard platforms, they might consider a different solution, especially if they need Chromebook support.

I'd rate the solution at a seven out of ten.

We propose Intune for information protection. We integrate Intune for application management and protection of company information on mobile devices.

It's normally able to meet 100% expectations of our customers. 

Sometimes, customers compare it with AirWatch, but the concept of Intune is different from other solutions. It's an application management app. It gets a bit difficult to explain it to customers, but it's not a product limitation. It takes a presale document or presentation to explain it to customers.

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

It's stable.

It's scalable. Our client has 1,000 people.

I'd rate them a ten out of ten. All of the ticket questions are answered. 

Normally, customers need a pilot. It takes around two or three weeks for the pilot. After that, we do the deployment. We start with a limited number of policies. Overall, it's done in three to four weeks.

We have five people in the company for implementation.

Its price is fair. It's a normal price. It isn't too expensive or too cheap.

Overall, I'd rate it an eight out of ten.

We primarily use Microsoft Intune for device management and application management. It allows us to control and restrict user access, preventing data sharing and leakage. 

Additionally, we utilize it for endpoint management of Windows and Mac devices, ensuring their security and compliance.

The benefits include that it's very easy to deploy and integrate. Users actually feel satisfied and have a great experience with it.

The most valuable includes managing everything from a single console.

Integration with Mac devices requires some improvement.

I have been working with Microsoft Intune for eight years. I currently use the latest version.

It is a stable solution. I would rate the stability a nine out of ten. Sometimes we get some alerts from Microsoft Intune, but our team is responsible for managing that internally.

It is a scalable solution. Around 3,000 endpoints are being utilized in our organization. 

 Customer service and support are good.

Positive

We used VMware AirWatch. We switched because of the ease of use that we get from Intune. It's much simpler to work with.

The initial setup was very easy, not at all complex.

We have our own team that handles the deployment. Three to four people were included in the process. 

The deployment process was simple. We just enrolled devices and created the necessary policies, and that's it. It took approximately twenty to forty minutes, depending upon the use case.

Moreover, it is easy to create policies with Intune. It's not difficult at all to maintain. We have the same team taking care of the maintenance.

Just go with it. It's very simple to use. Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten.
