June 2025

Learn what your peers think about Microsoft Intune. Get advice and tips from experienced pros sharing their opinions. Updated: June 2025.
860,632 professionals have used our research since 2012.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using Microsoft Intune for half a year or so.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is a stable solution.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Microsoft Intune is a scalable solution, and we have about 142 users.
We've still got a few more end points to roll it out on, but our increase will be in functionality. Now, we're only looking at updates, but in principle, we can actually push security policies as well.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was straightforward and easy to roll out.
What about the implementation team?
Our own technical staff implemented it, and it took about one month.
What other advice do I have?
I would advise that you educate your staff first before rolling it out. Give them ample education and training on how to implement it and on how it's going to be used.
The biggest lesson I learned from using Microsoft Intune is that the central administration con dashboard is very easy to use and provides very good oversight on all we want to monitor.
I would rate Microsoft Intune at nine on a scale from one to ten because it's so easy to use and easy to rollout with low impact on users.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Can be used to manage devices over the internet while ensuring their security
Pros and Cons
- "Internet-based access with security is what I have found to be most valuable. It is also a stable and scalable solution."
- "For an existing customer who has an SCCM, it would need to be upgraded to an MECM first before I can introduce Microsoft Intune."
What is our primary use case?
We use it for proposing solutions to customers and for co-management of the end-user devices, as well as for unified endpoint management. We also use it for mobile device management.
What is most valuable?
Internet-based access with security is what I have found to be most valuable.
It is also a stable and scalable solution. We have not had any issues with technical support as well.
The initial setup is straightforward too.
What needs improvement?
Currently, for a new customer or when a device refresh occurs, I can introduce Microsoft Intune as a unified endpoint management solution. However, for an existing customer who has an SCCM it would need to be upgraded to an MECM first before I can introduce Microsoft Intune.
Microsoft even recommends it as a co-management solution because even if I need to go for UVM as a unified endpoint, I need to rebuild all the missions, which is not practical. So, they need to look into it and provide an easy and flexible moment to UEM.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been dealing with Microsoft Intune for at least fours years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Stability-wise, it is good and stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It has very good scalability.
How are customer service and technical support?
We have had no issues with technical support.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is easy. Deployment usually takes around eight weeks of time, including pilot testing. We do requirement gathering, designing, and building, so it takes us a minimum of eight weeks.
What other advice do I have?
From a solution perspective, I always recommend that you go for it. From a scalability aspect and on managing the devices over the internet and ensuring that the security of the devices for customers is always taken into account, we always recommend to Microsoft Intune.
On a scale from one to ten, I would rate this solution at nine.

Senior Analyst at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees
Good protection policies, documentation, and scalability, but needs more group policies and better reporting, stability, and support
Pros and Cons
- "Its protection policies are most valuable. It protects mobile devices as well as individual apps. It is pretty scalable, and its documentation is also pretty good. It is also pretty straightforward to deploy."
- "They need to add more group policies. Intune currently does not have many group policies that you can deploy. Its reporting, which is very limited at the moment, also needs improvement. It will be great if they can add report customization. Its stability needs to be improved. Sometimes, when you register a device in Intune, it doesn't show up instantly on the engine portal on the admin side. They need to provide better support for complicated issues. They also have a long turnaround time."
What is our primary use case?
It is used for mobile device management. We use it for mobile phones and even PCs. We have its latest version.
What is most valuable?
Its protection policies are most valuable. It protects mobile devices as well as individual apps.
It is pretty scalable, and its documentation is also pretty good. It is also pretty straightforward to deploy.
What needs improvement?
They need to add more group policies. I know that they are already working on it, but this is something that I would like them to do quicker. Intune currently does not have many group policies that you can deploy. It is quite limited in terms of group policies. For example, if I want to disable the password manager on my browser, I can get support in Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, and Edge, but not with Firefox. It would be ideal if they can add some of these things.
Its reporting, which is very limited at the moment, also needs improvement. I can see basic information, such as how many devices are enrolled, but I can't get customized information. It will be great if they can add report customization.
Its stability needs to be improved. Sometimes, when you register a device in Intune, it doesn't show up instantly on the engine portal on the admin side. There are sync issues between the admin side and the user side.
They need to provide better support for complicated issues. They also have a long turnaround time for resolution in regards to overall escalation.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using this solution for three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It needs improvement in terms of stability. Sometimes, when you register a device in Intune, it doesn't show up instantly on the engine portal on the admin side. There are sync issues between the admin side and the user side. It is not very stable. Sometimes, it works instantly, and sometimes, something goes wrong, and you get stuck there. It is not consistent.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is pretty scalable because you can also integrate on-premises stuff. You can also integrate it with SCCM.
How are customer service and technical support?
When I contact technical support, I normally find the junior engineers to be not that good. They're just good with the basic issues. If there is something complex, you have to escalate the case, but they take a lot of time to escalate it. After the escalation, they are able to fix the issue, but the overall time they take to solve an issue is too much. Sometimes, the solution is very simple, but the process of escalation takes too long.
How was the initial setup?
I find it pretty straightforward, which could be because I have been working on this solution for three years. It mostly involves clicking the Next button. It will also depend on your requirements and policies, but it is generally straightforward.
What other advice do I have?
Microsoft documentation is a very good place to start. They have done a great job for beginners who want to deploy Intune in their organization. They have done a good job in describing different scenarios in the documentation. I would advise starting with the documentation and doing some certification as well.
I would rate Microsoft Intune a seven out of ten.
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?
Microsoft Azure

A cloud-based management tool with a useful device management feature
Pros and Cons
- "It has a useful device management feature."
- "It would be better if I could integrate it with my core group policy. I would like to have a group policy in my current environment, which has strict control, but those things are still missing. Although it has maximum compliance and security, it's not available on-premise."
What is most valuable?
It has a useful device management feature.
What needs improvement?
I guess they have been working a lot on the current features, but the active directory core features like group policy management are still missing. It would be better if I could integrate it with my core group policy.
I would like to have a group policy in my current environment, which has strict control, but those things are still missing. Although it has maximum compliance and security, it's not available on-premise.
Integration with other products could also be better. If I want to integrate with AirWatch, I have to do a lot of manual stuff and a lot of middleware changes. Technical support could also be better.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Microsoft Intune for the last three years.
How are customer service and technical support?
The support is not very good. It's very poor. At least at implementation time, Microsoft should support or should have a team who can support instantly or rapidly. But the process remains the same for the support, and I have to call, and I have to wait for four to eight hours, especially if I'm migrating from AirWatch, Mobility, or some other applications.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
AirWatch is a bit complicated, especially during a disaster or when something happens. Their technical support is very poor, and Intune is far better.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is easy. We can complete the Intune implementation in one hour, but for the base configuration, we require Microsoft support. Because at the end of the day, it's a cloud product, and we don't have many resources on it.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The price is reasonable, but they should lower it a bit to make it more competitive. It's cheaper than AirWatch and other products, but I still feel like Microsoft can make a base version or with Exchange online or a la carte only Intune version which will be useful. A customer who doesn't want to go full-fledged E3 or E5 can take out or consume an Intune solution only for their purpose, and we want to target that customer.
What other advice do I have?
On a scale from one to ten, I would give Microsoft Intune a nine.

Integrates with various devices and has a fantastic Autopilot feature, but doesn't handle software updates well by itself and should have a seamless remote desktop capability
Pros and Cons
- "The Autopilot feature is fantastic. It is a Microsoft product, so it deals best with Microsoft operating systems, but it can integrate with iOS, Mac OS, Linux, and Android."
- "It just doesn't handle software updates well at all by itself. You need to be a scripting wizard to make those happen properly, or you use third-party tools. The Windows feature updates are very difficult to implement. I would like to see a proprietary built-in remote control tool. I know that they have Team Viewer integrated, but it is not seamless. It would be nice if they had a seamless remote desktop capability directly from the Intune console."
What is our primary use case?
It is mainly used as an endpoint management tool for MDM. We are using it for Windows devices, iPads, and Macintosh devices.
We have its latest version. It is mostly cloud-based or SAS only, and we have a couple of clients that use hybrid.
What is most valuable?
The Autopilot feature is fantastic. It is a Microsoft product, so it deals best with Microsoft operating systems, but it can integrate with iOS, Mac OS, Linux, and Android.
What needs improvement?
It just doesn't handle software updates well at all by itself. You need to be a scripting wizard to make those happen properly, or you use third-party tools. The Windows feature updates are very difficult to implement.
I would like to see a proprietary built-in remote control tool. I know that they have Team Viewer integrated, but it is not seamless. It would be nice if they had a seamless remote desktop capability directly from the Intune console.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using this solution for four years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Outside of a couple of little hiccups, it is very stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is scalable.
How are customer service and technical support?
Overall, they're pretty decent. Their response time is sometimes a little slow, but they do get back to you and offer assistance.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have used Workspace ONE. Workspace ONE works really well for iPads and Androids. I haven't used it recently for Windows. They had just started to sort of delve into that arena, but I can't really say how well it works because I haven't really tried it on Windows 10. Workspace ONE is far superior when it comes to iOS and Android OS. If I remember correctly, they're comparable in price.
How was the initial setup?
It is straightforward for somebody who has got experience. It is certainly not something that somebody who came off the street can do easily. There is a lot of documentation, but the documentation varies widely, and it can be difficult to set up. Microsoft does offer some good support and assistance with it. If you have a user base of 300 devices or more, they'll actually walk you through the entire setup and assist you.
Currently, I am solely providing support for eight different clients who probably have over a thousand devices in total. So, the maintenance isn't difficult.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Most of our clients come to us with licensing already in place. On average, it costs $6 per device per month to add Intune to an Office 365 subscription, but I am not sure.
What other advice do I have?
If your clients have Office 365, and they're not using Intune, they should be.
I would rate Microsoft Intune a six out of ten.

Transition Project Manager at DXC
Easy initial setup with good configuration capabilities and an intuitive interface
Pros and Cons
- "Technical support, in general, has been quite helpful."
- "The feature that allows us to import the business application from the configuration manager to Intune is not very good at this time."
What is our primary use case?
The solution can be primarily used for mobile management. We're using the solution to enroll Windows 10 devices.
What is most valuable?
The policies on the solution are very good.
The process of enrolling devices is a useful aspect for us.
The features that allow us to control the devices are helpful.
The initial setup is not hard at all.
Technical support, in general, has been quite helpful.
We've found the configuration capabilities to be quite good.
So far, the solution is fast and has an intuitive interface.
What needs improvement?
The feature that allows us to import the business application from the configuration manager to Intune is not very good at this time. They should be getting better in the application input on that platforms. It's an aspect that could use some improvement.
Other than that, I can't recall the solution lacking any features. Overall, we've been happy with the offering.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've used the solution in the last 12 months. We've been using it for one year, more or less. It hasn't been a very long time just yet.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The stability of the product is quite good. there are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. The performance is reliable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
We do plan to increase the use of the solution over the coming year. Our intention is to scale a bit. We don't plan on switching products anytime soon.
How are customer service and technical support?
I've dealt with technical support in the past, and I'm quite satisfied with them. They are knowledgeable and responsive. I have no complaints.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We did not previously use a different solution. We've only ever used Microsoft Intune for these current use cases.
How was the initial setup?
We found the initial setup to be quite easy and straightforward. It's not complex. If a company wants to set it up themselves, they shouldn't have an issue doing so.
The deployment didn't take very long. It was a pretty quick process overall.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I can't speak to any aspect of the pricing. It's not something I handle. I don't deal with licensing and therefore don't know if it is expensive or reasonably priced.
What other advice do I have?
I've been testing the solution. I'm a customer and an end-user. My company does not have a business relationship with Microsoft.
In general, I would rate the solution at an eight out of ten. We've been happy with the capabilities overall.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises

Solution Specialist FWP at PT. SoftwareOne Indonesia
A cloud-based mobile device management solution with a good conditional access feature
Pros and Cons
- "I like that we can implement conditional access."
- "It would be better if they can reduce the cost of the license."
What is our primary use case?
I work for Mastersystem Infotama who is a Microsoft partner. I am an engineer, and I deploy Microsoft Intune in several companies. Our customers use Intune for their mobile device management. We also use Intune to protect devices accessing the application's corporate data. First, you must be compliant with the same criteria. If users connect with the corporate IP address, they only connect with username and password. But if they connect from a coffee shop IP address or IP addresses that aren't corporate, they will have to engage in multi-factor authentication.
What is most valuable?
I like that we can implement conditional access. Microsoft has conditional access for mobile device management, and we can categorize it as a corporate application or a personal application. We can protect it so users cannot copy from the corporate application to the personal application, but users can copy from the personal application to the corporate application.
We can also make one file with different permission for different people. The name of the feature is Microsoft Azure Information Protection. We can configure it to help the user work from home. They can download the file, and they can operate this file in another place, but the corporate organization still protects it.
We can also protect user access from a mobile phone. They cannot save the file to internal storage for the mobile phone. They only can save the file to OneDrive or SharePoint drive.
What needs improvement?
It would be better if Microsoft can reduce the cost of the license. as we know the Intune device subscription is licensed per device at a cost of $2 a month. but for the best to enhanced security and feature we must added add-on license or buy/upgrade to bundling license such as M365E5.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Microsoft Intune is a core product, and it's very stable
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Scalability is good. It can adopt Android and iOS and manage macOS. We couldn't support macOS two years ago, but now we can.
How are customer service and technical support?
Technical support is good. We get help from Microsoft support. For Microsoft Intune, if we buy the license, we can get support for free. We can create tickets for the problems. We can also report the problem in the Microsoft portal.
How was the initial setup?
Microsoft Intune is essentially software as a service for mobile device management. To configure Microsoft Intune, we only have to register the domain name and register the DNS. We can log in to enroll the device with Microsoft Intune. After we register the DNS and the domain name, we configure the policies. All policies like user access and permissions. After that, the admin can send the license to every user.
The configuration takes one to five days. But it takes a long time to educate the users on how they can use it. This is because some things change after we implement Intune. Users may complain that they can't do what they did before, but it's better from a security perspective.
Microsoft will maintain it. The customer only maintains the policy and the license.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The price could be better. Microsoft Intune pricing is based on the number of users. Every user license is for 15 devices. consists of 5 devices for PC (Windows or Mac), 5 tablets, and 5 mobile phones (Android and iOS).
My customers already know and use Microsoft, so they adopted Intune. They use Office 365 for secure collaboration between organizations. Microsoft is the preferred choice and has user confidence to work together securely.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
MobileIron has two types of licenses. One is a SaaS-based model, and they provide support, and the other is a license for the on-premise solution. Microsoft Intune offers only a cloud solution.
What other advice do I have?
If a customer already uses a Microsoft solution like Microsoft Office, or an email solution like Microsoft Exchange, it's better to use Microsoft Intune. But if they want an on-premise solution, they can choose another solution like Mobile Iron or Airwatch solution.
On a scale from one to ten, I would give Microsoft Intune a nine.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

A cloud-based mobile device and application management solution that works well
Pros and Cons
- "It works pretty well for us."
- "The configuration and pricing can be improved."
What is most valuable?
It works pretty well for us.
What needs improvement?
The configuration and pricing can be improved. It would also be better to meet with people in the country and teach us how to manage personal information because we will not look at or touch any personal information. They should teach us about managing personal information and make it really easy for us.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Pricing can be improved.
What other advice do I have?
On a scale from one to ten, I would give Microsoft Intune a ten.
