Manages diverse device environments efficiently with cloud performance
Pros and Cons
  • "Based on my experience, I would recommend Microsoft Intune to organizations looking for management of a large number of devices and enterprise environments."
  • "In my additional experience with Microsoft Intune, although it is a cloud environment, it still has some flaws."

What is our primary use case?

Based on my experience, I would recommend Microsoft Intune to organizations looking for management of a large number of devices and enterprise environments. 

I would suggest Microsoft Intune because it is a better platform since it can handle Windows, iOS, and other Linux systems. If an organization is looking to manage only Apple devices, I would prefer Jamf, as it is one of the better tools for handling Apple devices.

What is most valuable?

I haven't had any limitations or performance issues with Microsoft Intune since it has been a cloud-based tool. We haven't experienced many issues with performance as it is always up and running.

What needs improvement?

In my additional experience with Microsoft Intune, although it is a cloud environment, it still has some flaws. Microsoft might be aware that it cannot handle much load capacity, such as multiple deployments at the same time. While these deployments are possible, there will be some load balancing issues. The load handling experiences slow network fluctuations.

What other advice do I have?

Thank you for the opportunity to provide feedback about Microsoft Intune. On a scale of one to ten, I rate Microsoft Intune eight out of ten.

Brings all of our endpoint and security management tools into one place
Pros and Cons
  • "The ability to work from all over the planet is valuable. You just need a functioning and working Internet connection."
  • "I, as such, do not have any specific inputs or needs. However, there is always room for improvement when it comes to scalability."

What is our primary use case?

I use it for deploying software and managing devices.

How has it helped my organization?

Microsoft Intune brings all of our endpoint and security management tools into one place. I can log into only one console and jump from one system to the other system seamlessly.

It is easy. When I hand out a new device to new users, I ask them to enter their email address and password. They just need to give the device 15 to 20 minutes, and it is done. Users can then start working on their devices.

It just works. I do not have to run after the software to see if it is the latest update. It just runs. It is setup-and-forget.

Microsoft Intune makes it easy to secure hybrid work and protect data on company and BYO devices. Once you have set up all the rules, it just works. You cannot mix personal data with company-related data. Also, no data can be extracted from the business aspect to the personal one.

Microsoft Intune's Endpoint Privilege Management feature enables us to enforce the least privileged access. For me, it is a big advantage to only have the rights I need and not the ones I do not need. For every specific case, I just request the required role for it, and afterward, I deactivate the role. From the security aspect, it is at a very high level.

It helps reduce data loss. It helps with data loss prevention. We also use multifactor authentication and block unknown devices and unknown users. Any external attacks are blocked via a lot of mechanisms. We can use our privileged roles only inside a closed network and with PKI-based authentication.

Microsoft Intune has affected the IT productivity in our organization in a positive way.

It is very important for us that its capabilities are integrated with Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Security for both cloud and co-managed devices. This feature was one of the major things when we started digitalization.

What is most valuable?

The ability to work from all over the planet is valuable. You just need a functioning and working Internet connection. You can enroll devices by binding the hash values in Intune. You can enroll them from wherever the person is. It makes no difference if he is sitting at home or office or is on vacation.

What needs improvement?

They are always rolling out updates. You get more and more possibilities to enroll devices and configure their settings and security. I have confidence in the setup they have provided so far. I, as such, do not have any specific inputs or needs. However, there is always room for improvement when it comes to scalability.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Microsoft Intune for almost six years. I am always using the latest version. It is a cloud platform, and it is updated almost every month with new features.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I would rate it an eight out of ten for scalability. There is always room for improvement when it comes to scalability.

How are customer service and support?

Their technical support is great. We always get an answer from Microsoft.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

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

We were using Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager. We did not use any other vendor.

Using Microsoft Intune did not help us consolidate vendors. Our strategy is to not mix up too many different vendors and have just one. The best thing is that if you want to use Microsoft Azure and Intune, you can use the features out of the box. You do not need big modifications. You can take the default and build everything around your needs, and it will work.

What other advice do I have?

This is the platform for every enterprise. It is easy to manage all devices such as Windows, iOS, and macOS in one place. You can also manage Android devices.

Overall, I would rate Microsoft Intune an eight out of ten because there is always room for more modifications and improvements.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Private Cloud

If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

Easy to use and manages all your endpoints
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution’s most valuable feature is its ease of use."

    What is our primary use case?

    We use the solution for BYOD, MDM, and to access Microsoft applications like Teams. Microsoft Intune helps us access Microsoft applications on the road and mobile.

    What is most valuable?

    The solution’s most valuable feature is its ease of use.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using Microsoft Intune for about three years.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    Microsoft Intune is a very scalable solution. Around 4,000 users use the solution in our organization.

    What about the implementation team?

    A third-party vendor helped us set up the solution in six months.

    What was our ROI?

    We have a large amount of our population using the applications on their phones. Microsoft Intune definitely helps with productivity and efficiency. The solution brings value to the money we pay for it.

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

    Microsoft Intune has been incorporated into our Microsoft E5 licenses. The pricing is very good, as it is not an additional cost to what we already need for our organization as a whole.

    What other advice do I have?

    Microsoft Intune brings all our endpoint and security management tools into one place for mobile. We work closely with security, which mostly implements the overall rules on what users should be able to do, how the new data is encrypted, and how secure data can't leave the Intune environment. It's easy to go into Intune and apply all of those policies and have them work for you.

    I would assess Microsoft Intune very highly for securing hybrid work and protecting company data via BYOD devices. I think it's very secure. Everyone in IT has to be available during off hours to make sure that everyone can see what's going on if there's an emergency.

    Since Microsoft Intune has been incorporated into our Microsoft E5 licenses, our organization has saved costs compared to using other EMM providers. Microsoft Intune is a comprehensive solution that has a lot of features and manages all your endpoints.

    Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

    Hybrid Cloud

    Cost-efficient, user-friendly, and provides all the information in one place
    Pros and Cons
    • "The navigation, the keys, and the settings are easy to find. It is easy to understand."
    • "Reporting needs to be better. Sometimes, it is way too slow, and it is not even accurate."

    What is our primary use case?

    We support other companies in managing their devices. Right now, we have multiple projects wherein we are only utilizing the Windows aspect of Intune, but for some of the other organizations, we are utilizing Android and iOS features. For most of the projects that I am working on, the use case is autopilot enrollment, and for iOS, it is through ABM.

    One of the most common requests that we get is that most of the users are still on-prem. They need to be moved to the cloud, but they do not want to lose the data on-prem. The basic request that we get is to get co-management enabled for on-prem and the cloud for managing devices. The basic request from every organization I have worked with so far is to get a hybrid or the same management scenario. This is what we utilize Intune for.

    How has it helped my organization?

    All the device information is available in one place. We can see which profiles are being used and other things. If I want to get any information about a device, I just have to select it, and it shows me everything that I want about the device.

    As an admin, we have different privileges to a user. In terms of user experience, it is quite easy. It is easy to understand. They have been making a lot of changes to the layout and the categorization. It is much easier and user-friendly. Overall, it has been a pleasant experience to use the portal. Everything is categorized in such a manner that it is easy to understand and navigate.

    Advanced endpoint analytics are certainly used in almost all the projects that I have worked on because the security baseline is a very crucial part of configuring all those things in one single place. Apart from that, other profiles are also configured.

    It is quite handy. For the general device configuration, we might have to create multiple profiles for different things. When it comes to the security baseline, multiple components are configured into a single policy. That makes configurations easier to handle and easier to change in the future if required. One thing about endpoint analysis that can be an issue is that there is an imprinting policy. Sometimes for some of the components, even if I change the policy, it would not make the change in the device. The policy gets tattooed on the device.

    The Cloud PKI helps manage the complexity of certificate infrastructure. It makes work much simpler. The configuration that needs to be done is much simpler.

    It makes application deployment and management easy on a device. It is easy to get them packaged and pushed out. Applications are available in the first sync itself. It is pretty easy to do that with Intune.

    In terms of integration, so far, we have set up co-management features with SAPM, and it has been going well. The settings are pretty easily understandable. We can do them easily. The setup is smooth. In case of any issues, the logs and troubleshooting are very simplified. It gives pretty accurate information. The APM portal can also be very easily configured. The steps about what to do next are available in the Intune portal itself. It works well with other consoles.

    I would assess Intune highly for securing hybrid work and protecting data on company and BYO devices. I would rate it a nine out of ten for this.

    As an admin, Intune has made life much easier. Any information about a device is available in one console. We do not have to navigate to multiple portals to see what is going on. The console gives us the answer. Intune gives us information about the error and the possible reason for it to happen. We can see the device status and whether it is syncing. Everything is available in one single source. As an admin, it makes my life easier.

    Intune has made the transition from on-prem to the cloud a smoother and simpler experience. We do not even have to make a complete transition. If we want to set up co-management where both of them are in the picture, Intune does a great job in helping out the admins to manage those devices.

    What is most valuable?

    In the recent upgrade, I feel the portal has become much more user-friendly. The navigation, the keys, and the settings are easy to find. It is easy to understand. As compared to the previous versions or SCCM, it is very handy. Apart from that, we have many configuration profiles. They have been introduced over the course of time. We had put in the request for them. Some aspects that were not available previously are available now. It keeps improving over time, which is beneficial.

    What needs improvement?

    Reporting needs to be better. Sometimes, it is way too slow, and it is not even accurate. Reporting is one aspect about which we have received a lot of complaints. As an admin, I cannot rely on its reporting.

    Another feature that can be improved is audit logs. There should be more details in the audit logs.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    We have been using it for almost four years.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    I would rate it an eight out of ten for stability. I do not believe that any product is completely stable given the fact there is always something new that comes into the market, so it has to go through changes. You never know what those changes might be and whether a release is compatible with certain devices, etc.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    We have more than 100 users. Our clients are large enterprises.

    How are customer service and support?

    We have had a mixed experience. Sometimes we get an engineer who is extremely aware of what is going on and is very quick with the resolution. We get an answer quickly, and the ticket gets closed quickly. However, sometimes we get an engineer who prolongs the case to an unnecessary time frame. We might get an email in six to seven days. We need to keep chasing them about the update. Their support can be improved.

    How would you rate customer service and support?

    Neutral

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

    I have worked with SCCM which is a Microsoft product. I have not worked on any other similar solution.

    How was the initial setup?

    We have a combination of cloud and on-prem. We do have GPOs in the picture. We also have cloud users. We have Windows 365 devices. It is a combination of both so far.

    Its deployment is pretty straightforward. They provide the details or info in the portal itself, so it is not very difficult. You do not have to go searching for the information.

    The initial setup does not take time. Setting up an account for the organization rarely takes five minutes or so, but the time taken for doing the setup for the entire organization, which includes setting up policies and other things, would vary. It depends on the number of activities that need to be performed.

    It does not require much maintenance from our side. Over time, they provide new releases that fix the issues that have been stated in our health control section.

    Which other solutions did I evaluate?

    Based on the features that it gives, it is cost-efficient. It is not necessarily on the expensive side of the scale. It provides a hefty number of features that any organization would want. It is in a good price range.

    What other advice do I have?

    Intune does not necessarily bring all of the endpoint and security management tools into one place because there is a role of connectors in Intune that need to be enabled in order to get other accesses. Things like Defender, Compliance, and Purview need to be managed in the device in itself. I do not necessarily see it bringing everything into the same picture, but it does act like a mediator with those connector options.

    With the projects in hand, we are mainly focusing on applications and Windows. I have not had an opportunity to explore it much when it comes to iOS and Linux. We are not using the Enterprise Application Management features of Intune Suite. We have done the configuration via Azure.

    We are testing out Microsoft Copilot in Intune. We have not had many opportunities to use it.

    To a colleague at another company who wants to know what I think about Microsoft Intune Suite, I would say to definitely go for it. I have seen multiple portals, and Intune goes way far. In terms of features and interface, Intune is much superior to any other console that I have seen so far. It is easy. It has many configurations. It is easily understandable. Everything is good about it, and it is growing with time. Within a span of a few months or weeks, you might see a new update, a new configuration profile, or a new system that could be managed. Some kind of new feature is always coming up.

    I would recommend Intune to others. If anyone comes to me with any questions or concerns, the first thing I ask is how they are managing their devices. If they are using anything apart from Intune, my suggestion is to use Intune.

    Overall, I would rate Intune a nine out of ten.

    Integrates well with Microsoft tools and secures our devices
    Pros and Cons
    • "The most valuable feature of Intune is the ability to reset a lost device and remove all the data."

      What is our primary use case?

      Our organization utilizes Microsoft Intune to safeguard company data on employee laptops and cell phones that might be used for remote work.

      We use Microsoft Intune to ensure compliance on devices, both on and off-site. Intune enforces settings like requiring a screen lock and allows us to remotely wipe lost devices to protect sensitive company information.

      How has it helped my organization?

      Microsoft Defender offers a built-in Intune dashboard that simplifies our workflow. While reviewing security information in Defender, we can easily see non-compliant devices flagged by Intune, eliminating the need to switch between applications.

      The Intune user experience has become significantly easier. While in the past we required detailed instructions for app installation, recent versions of the Intune app guide users through the process, eliminating the prior challenge of users struggling with installation.

      Intune's biggest benefit is its seamless integration with existing Microsoft products in our organization. Since we're already a Microsoft shop, Intune leverages our familiar environment for a straightforward implementation, offering centralized control for our SOC clients. We likely saw the advantages quickly, as with other Microsoft products.

      Microsoft Intune effectively secures our BYOD program. If we have employees who need to work from home for some time, we make sure to install Intune on their laptops first.

      Microsoft Intune has improved our IT team's efficiency by allowing a Bring-Your-Own-Device policy and facilitating work-from-home options.

      What is most valuable?

      The most valuable feature of Intune is the ability to reset a lost device and remove all the data.

      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 gets the job done.

      How would you rate customer service and support?

      Neutral

      What other advice do I have?

      I would rate Microsoft Intune seven out of ten.

      A selling point for us was that Intune reports back to the Microsoft dashboards that we already use.

      Great support, effective, and saves time and money
      Pros and Cons
      • "The feature I like the most is that we can perform remote tasks. If we want to retire or wipe out personal data or corporate data from a device, we can use Microsoft Intune remotely, and with the click of a button, data is removed automatically. Nothing needs to be done from the end-user side."
      • "The backend of Microsoft Intune needs to be improved. We have seen a little bit of delay as compared to other MDM solutions. That needs to be improved. A little bit more granularity should also be added"

      What is our primary use case?

      We are using Microsoft Intune for personal devices, specifically for mobile devices with Android, iOS, and Windows. We have applied the policies over there for device restriction and compliance. We also have a few policies related to Microsoft Defender.

      How has it helped my organization?

      At the security level, it has done wonders. We can easily differentiate between applications. For example, there are a few applications that are only related to the organization's work. We can deploy those applications.

      It is very effective. Since the pandemic, we have been in the remote work scenario. We are managing people working from the office and home. Microsoft Intune has been helping us with most tasks we are doing, such as deploying applications and resetting passwords. We are also enrolling the devices. It has saved lots of time and money.

      It did not take us long to realize its benefits. We just put our scenarios, and it took us a month or two months.

      Microsoft Intune integrates well with other Microsoft solutions. It collaborates well with Defender and Cloud PC. We will see a few more collaborations in the future. It will work with other features of Microsoft as well.

      The reporting of Microsoft Intune is very good. They have been introducing new things as per the requirements of customers. It is quite granular compared to other MDM solutions.

      What is most valuable?

      The feature I like the most is that we can perform remote tasks. If we want to retire or wipe out personal data or corporate data from a device, we can use Microsoft Intune remotely, and with the click of a button, data is removed automatically. Nothing needs to be done from the end-user side.

      The App Protection policies are very effective. With these policies, we can separate the corporate data and personal data. We can block the sharing of information from personal data to corporate data and vice versa.

      What needs improvement?

      There are lots of areas. The backend of Microsoft Intune needs to be improved. We have seen a little bit of delay as compared to other MDM solutions. That needs to be improved. A little bit more granularity should also be added.

      For how long have I used the solution?

      I have been using Microsoft Intune for 3 years.

      What do I think about the stability of the solution?

      Its stability is great. I would rate it a ten out of ten for stability.

      What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

      It has great features. It has a good amount of scalability.

      How are customer service and support?

      They have been great. They have a team that works granularly on the issues. They also have unified support for this. They also have 24/7 support. We get good support from Microsoft. I would rate them 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?

      I have only used SCCM which was provided by Microsoft and was totally on-premises. I have not used any MDM solutions from them.

      How was the initial setup?

      In my organization, it is a hybrid deployment. I was not involved in its initial deployment, but I know that it is a little bit complex for people who are using it from scratch. You need at least an experience with SCCM.

      It is deployed at a single location. In terms of maintenance, it does not require any maintenance from our side. Everything is handled by Microsoft.

      What was our ROI?

      We have seen an ROI.

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

      I am not that aware of the pricing, but as compared to other MDM solutions, Microsoft is providing a lot of things at the organizational level. So, it is quite reasonable as compared to other MDM solutions.

      What other advice do I have?

      I would recommend Microsoft Intune to others. If you have any plans for having remote work in your organization, Microsoft Intune has the capability. In the future, you will also see Microsoft handling everything related to Active Directory, which is the backbone of an organization, from Microsoft Intune itself. 

      I would advise learning Microsoft Intune as soon as possible because this is the future.

      I would rate Microsoft Intune a nine out of ten.

      Inexpensive, feature-rich, and very easy to use
      Pros and Cons
      • "Configuration profiles, remediation, scripts, and auto-pilot features are very good."
      • "There can be more logs. I do not have any other requirements."

      What is our primary use case?

      We use Intune for Windows computers, and we also have iOS phones.

      How has it helped my organization?

      Intune simplifies mobile application management. It is very good. Its console is perfect. I am satisfied with it.

      Intune works well with Microsoft Defender. Intune brings all of our endpoint and security management tools into one place. It is very good. We can manage the firewall and other things. It is very good for the security of computers.

      Intune provides full endpoint visibility and IT control across device platforms, but we need to have RBAC for the IT. We have to assign appropriate roles and manage the scope based on, for example, the country and division.

      We can use Intune for computers on the cloud, and we can also use it for a hybrid setup with on-premises and cloud computers. We can use Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager to manage all the hybrid devices.

      We have a lot of reports for data. There are reports related to Windows where we can see whether all the computers have required updates or not. We can also do an inventory of all applications on the computers. We can also do application installation across the company.

      Intune works with Log Analytics for Azure. It is a tool for monitoring and analyzing log data.

      We can configure Intune for compliance settings. It provides a method to know if a computer is compliant or not. We can use conditional access to allow or block connections. For example, we can set a condition where if a computer is not hybrid, we do not allow the connection to Azure or we block the Office access for that computer. We can configure a compliance setting to know if a computer is compliant or not. We can also block access if a computer, for example, is not encrypted. There are many settings that we can configure, and we can generate reports to see the compliance.

      For application deployment, there are a lot of methods that we can use. We can do it from the company portal from Microsoft. It is very easy for IT to configure. We can package, for example, an SAP application in three seconds. We have the possibility to use the automatic detection rules and package our internal application. We have a lot of possibilities. We can use the applications from the store, or we can package our internal applications. I find it very rich.

      It is easy to use Intune. We do not have to work with agents. We do not have issues related to agents. With SCCM, we had to use an agent, and there were certain requirements. For example, we had to use a local administrator account, whereas, with Intune, we do not need to do all this. It is all cloud. It is very simple and easy to use.

      It is very easy to configure deployment policies. For example, we can deploy something just for Windows 11 and not for Windows 10. It is very rich when it comes to deployment and configuration profiles. Intune is now much better than before.

      What is most valuable?

      Configuration profiles, remediation, scripts, and auto-pilot features are very good.

      The user experience of Intune is very good for me. The user interface and navigation are very simple and clear. It is very easy to use for managing Windows, iOS, and other environments. People at IT level one and level two will find its console very simple to use. It is very useful.

      What needs improvement?

      There can be more logs. I do not have any other requirements. I am very satisfied with it.

      For how long have I used the solution?

      I have been using Intune for six years.

      What do I think about the stability of the solution?

      It is stable.

      What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

      It is very scalable. I would rate it a ten out of ten for scalability. 

      Our clients have a lot of users. We have 16 or 17 people working with this solution.

      How are customer service and support?

      I opened a lot of tickets. Their team is responsive, and they respond quickly to help users. I would rate them a ten out of ten.

      How would you rate customer service and support?

      Positive

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

      For remote access, we are not using Intune, but in my previous company, we used Intune for that. It worked very well. We did not have any problems with it. For managing remote devices, we are using Bomgar.

      We have a lot of departments. We are using Intune only for the production computers. For others, we use SCCM. We have a hybrid environment.

      How was the initial setup?

      It is a cloud solution. Its deployment took about 40 minutes.

      It does require maintenance.

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

      It is not expensive.

      What other advice do I have?

      We trust Microsoft. They are a big and good company. Microsoft is working very hard on security. We do not have any problems with Microsoft.

      I would recommend Intune for all companies. It is a very centralized and good solution.

      I would rate Intune a ten out of ten.

      Helps reduce risk of breaches by making sure devices are patched, but granularity could be better
      Pros and Cons
      • "While I don't think you can ever have full visibility and control, Intune certainly allows us to see the applications being used and tells us if things like Windows patches aren't applied to machines. It does a good job. That visibility makes life a little easier."
      • "It's the granularity: 'Is your firewall on? Is BitLocker on?' It's not amazing granularity. But I've looked into other products, like Duo, and they're all similar."

      What is our primary use case?

      We use it for device compliance and posture, application control, and we use it for integration with our corporate devices.

      How has it helped my organization?

      It brings all of our endpoint and security management tools into one place and makes life a little bit easier. We're a Microsoft partner, and it integrates well and works quite well. We're also a Cisco partner, and it works well with Secure Endpoint and our existing Zscaler product.

      Similarly, when it comes to our organization's security, it makes life easy.

      Intune also helps reduce the risk of security breaches because we're making sure devices are patched and that firewalls are enabled. And that helps our organization save on costs.

      What is most valuable?

      While I don't think you can ever have full visibility and control, Intune certainly allows us to see the applications being used and tells us if things like Windows patches aren't applied to machines. It does a good job. That visibility makes life a little easier.

      The user experience with Intune is pretty good, the same as with all Microsoft products, really. Once you're used to one, you can use all of them.

      And it's not too bad for securing hybrid work and protecting data on company and BYO devices. As I said, we're using it in conjunction with our Zscaler deployment, so that obviously helps.

      What needs improvement?

      Some of the security posture limitations are not brilliant; they're not ideal, but they're not causing us a problem at the moment. It's the granularity: "Is your firewall on? Is BitLocker on?" It's not amazing granularity. But I've looked into other products, like Duo, and they're all similar.

      For how long have I used the solution?

      I have been using Intune for four or five years.

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

      We worked with Cisco network monitoring, using Cisco ASA with RSA deployment. It had its issues. It wasn't very user-friendly. If a device wasn't posture-compliant, for example, it wouldn't explain to the user what they needed to do. There was also a bit of limitation with the operation alongside things like antivirus software. It didn't work very well with Sophos and other applications.

      What other advice do I have?

      Overall, Intune is not bad. It's okay.

      A cost-effective solid solution that helps to manage devices
      Pros and Cons
      • "The tool's most valuable feature is Autopilot."
      • "I have a lot of Apple products in my environment. It would be nice to have an improved integration of Apple products with Microsoft Intune without Jam."

      What is our primary use case?

      We are replacing AirWatch MDM with the product so that we can manage our devices. Eventually, we plan to migrate from SCCM, Windows, and Mac to the Microsoft Intune environment. It will help different departments to manage devices from one place. 

      How has it helped my organization?

      Microsoft Intune helps us lock and open iPads easily. 

      What is most valuable?

      The tool's most valuable feature is Autopilot. 

      What needs improvement?

      I have a lot of Apple products in my environment. It would be nice to have an improved integration of Apple products with Microsoft Intune without Jam. 

      For how long have I used the solution?

      I have been working with the product for a year. 

      What do I think about the stability of the solution?

      Microsoft Intune's stability and uptime are good. 

      How are customer service and support?

      Microsoft Intune has a lot of documentation. Its support is also good. 

      How would you rate customer service and support?

      Positive

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

      We used AirWatch before Microsoft Intune. We switched because of cost and customer care issues. We are currently in an SCCM environment. 

      How was the initial setup?

      The solution's deployment is both complex and intuitive. 

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

      Microsoft Intune's pricing is reasonable. 

      Which other solutions did I evaluate?

      We chose the product because it was cost-effective and easy to integrate with our system. 

      What other advice do I have?

      We are working with a Microsoft partner to improve our environment's security. It helps us condense our profile into one instead of three. 

      We expect time and money savings in the long run since it is a cost-effective solution. We are Microsoft partners. It integrates everything into one platform, which helps us save time since we don't have to jump from one platform to another. 

      I rate the product a seven. It is a good product with good capabilities. It is a solid solution that is easy to work with.

      Allows us to control devices remotely, push applications from the cloud, and use autopilot
      Pros and Cons
      • "Autopilot is the most valuable feature."
      • "When somebody has a customized application or their own company's application, we cannot deploy that application."

      What is our primary use case?

      We use Microsoft Intune to manage desktop, mobile, Apple, and Windows devices.

      How has it helped my organization?

      Before Microsoft Intune, we were unable to manage devices because everyone was working from home, even though they were still part of our group. This meant that we could not control the devices, such as installing software, deploying tools, or setting up laptops for remote users. After Microsoft Intune was implemented, we were able to manage devices remotely. We can now push policies and applications to devices from a central console. This has made it much easier to keep devices up-to-date and secure, even when employees are working from home.

      What is most valuable?

      Device management allows us to control devices remotely, push applications from the cloud, and use autopilot. Autopilot is the most valuable feature.

      What needs improvement?

      When somebody has a customized application or their own company's application, we cannot deploy that application. For that, Microsoft has to change some tools, such as the launch tools, so that we can deploy those applications as well.

      For how long have I used the solution?

      I have been using Microsoft Intune for two years.

      What do I think about the stability of the solution?

      Microsoft Intune is stable.

      What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

      Microsoft Intune is scalable. We have 300 end users.

      How are customer service and support?

      The technical support is good.

      How would you rate customer service and support?

      Positive

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

      We previously used TeamViewer Remote Management. However, we switched to Microsoft Intune because TeamViewer did not offer application deployment or vulnerability management. Microsoft Intune offers both of these features, as well as integration with Office 365 Defender.

      How was the initial setup?

      Intune's initial setup is straightforward. Microsoft provided us with some documentation on how to implement the basic setup, and we went through that. There is also a lot of documentation available on the Microsoft portal. We can easily find whatever we are looking for by searching. The Microsoft support team is also very helpful.

      What about the implementation team?

      The implementation was completed in-house.

      What was our ROI?

      We have seen a return on investment with Microsoft Intune.

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

      Microsoft Intune is more expensive than other solutions, but it offers a wider range of features and control. It is definitely worth the cost for organizations that need a comprehensive mobile device management solution.

      What other advice do I have?

      I give Microsoft Intune an eight out of ten. It solves all of the problems that we were previously logging into other products to handle. Now, we can do everything from a single console, including security, management, encryption, device vulnerability, and anything else we want to do with the device. We can even run any script.

      There is no maintenance required from our end for Microsoft Intune.

      To use Microsoft Intune, we must have an active domain. We can then purchase Intune directly from Microsoft or from a partner.

      If I had the opportunity to choose a configuration management tool again, I would choose Microsoft Intune.

      Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

      Public Cloud

      If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
