Can be integrated with other Microsoft security solutions
Pros and Cons
  • "It is a very stable and scalable cloud-only solution."
  • "The pricing can be expensive if you are not combining it with other products."
  • "The technical support could be improved."

What needs improvement?

Mostly the pricing can be improved. If you are using the solution with EMS E3, then it's very expensive, but if you are using it in combination with a lot of products, then it can be cheap. Microsoft doesn't sell Intune separately. That's another consideration. The third thing would be how to view the use case because Microsoft doesn't release any documentation on how to view it when you adopt Microsoft EMS. 

Their technical support could also be improved.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is very stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It's scalable because this is a cloud solution only. They don't have it on-premises.

How are customer service and support?

With Microsoft technical support, they only fix Teams and when they are open, they're mostly trying to close again at the quickest time. Sometimes, the solutions given are not very good.

How was the initial setup?

It depends on the use case. If you only focus on Mobile Device Management, then it is very easy to setup. You just have to define the use case in the context you want to protect. If you are talking about how to integrate with the lock analytics and how to classify data in context, then this is another thing.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

The main difference between Intune and Workspace ONE is the quality integration between Microsoft products and Office 365, which means that Intune is part of a solution; you are not only using Intune, but you have to think about its ecosystem. For example, with EMS, it will have at least three products. The first is Azure ID Premium, which is the IAM solution (Identity and Access Management), so there are use cases where you might need to use IAM. The one difference between EMS and Workspace ONE, since Workspace ONE doesn't focus on identity management, is that it only has the access part. It can leverage all identity management, like with the directory or any of the identity solutions. 

The second difference is in the integration with Office 365 because in the Office 365 ecosystem, you have a lot of products, like Azure Information Protection, which is focused on the labeling and classifying of data. Microsoft also has Defender DLP and Defender for Endpoint. These make up a total solution. Based on that, if you have a long-term roadmap, you can actually integrate it with other Microsoft security solutions, like Sentinel, which is a SIEM solution. When choosing Intune, the main difference is the ecosystem and the roadmap.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

For advice, it depends on the use case you are trying to solve here. If we have a look at the use case for security, how would you control the mobile? How would you deploy? How would you protect them based on that? The lesson depends on the answers to those questions.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Reasonably priced with prompt tech support
Pros and Cons
  • "I believe that the solution is actually in Gartner's top quadrant at the moment for mobile device management."

    What is our primary use case?

    We use Microsoft Intune for mobile device and desktop management, more properly referred to as endpoint management. 

    What is most valuable?

    I cannot think of any particular features which I consider to be most valuable. 

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    I have not come across any bugs or glitches as yet. Microsoft M365 boasts phenomenal reliability and stability. 

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    The solution is easy to scale.

    How are customer service and support?

    I had several questions for tech support while setting up the policies. They answered these quickly. 

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

    Prior to Microsoft Intune we used IBM MaaS360, but switched because the interface and configurability is horrible.

    How was the initial setup?

    We did not encounter issues with the deployment. 

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

    The price is very reasonable.

    What other advice do I have?

    The solution is totally cloud-based.

    I would guess that our entire staff is using the solution, numbering 20,000. 

    My advice to others is that they do their due diligence before going with the solution. But, I would say that it is at the top of the list when it comes to the competition. I believe that it is actually in Gartner's top quadrant at the moment for mobile device management. 

    The solution's integrative abilities are fine. 

    As no solution is perfect, I rate Microsoft Intune as an eight out of ten.

    Integrates well with other enterprise systems, is perfect for a Microsoft environment, and allows for increased usage
    Pros and Cons
    • "It works well if you have a Microsoft environment."
    • "The solution requires Mac support."

    What is our primary use case?

    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.

    What is most valuable?

    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.

    What needs improvement?

    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.

    For how long have I used the solution?

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

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    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.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    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.

    How are customer service and support?

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

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

    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.

    How was the initial setup?

    The initial setup was quite straightforward.

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

    What about the implementation team?

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

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

    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.

    What other advice do I have?

    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.

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

    Good management and control of mobile devices, scales well and is stable.
    Pros and Cons
    • "The performance of Microsoft Intune is good."
    • "More integration with monitoring tools is needed."

    What is our primary use case?

    Basically, the Intune solution is to provide services for MDM and mobile application management. In addition, support or ticket to control Windows 10 devices is provided.

    We provide this solution to our clients.

    What needs improvement?

    More integration with monitoring tools is needed.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have worked as a solution architect for Microsoft Intune, for the past six or seven years, and when you consider my overall experience, it is more than two decades.

    On-premises is not absolute. You can integrate co-management, but you must first integrate with, ACCM. We are currently providing both solutions.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    This is a stable solution. The performance of Microsoft Intune is good.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    Microsoft Intune can be scalable.

    As a solution architect, I have more than 50 customers.

    How are customer service and support?

    I have not reached out to Microsoft's technical support. So far, we have not had to.

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

    I am also familiar with CyberArk.

    How was the initial setup?

    Intune is essentially a SaaS solution. Although Intune is a SaaS solution, it can be integrated with the ACCM. You can integrate a co-management solution in two modes, or you can integrate only the cloud. As a result, the cloud is mostly used by small and medium-sized businesses. However, for enterprise customers, we must use co-management, the team, the ACCM, and Intune.

    Maintenance isn't that based on the volume. For example, if you want to go with 500 devices, you need to size the people accordingly. If you want to implement 5,000, 10,000, one lakh, or one million people, you must size the people accordingly. As a starting baseline, we need to assign one person to manage every 5,000 devices.

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

    Every customer used to purchase licenses based on their needs. 

    They used to buy a license as part of a package, possibly on a yearly basis, but they never went for pay-as-you-go, but they used to buy for a year, three years, or something like that.

    What other advice do I have?

    Intune is the best, in my opinion. CyberArk is primarily used for identity purposes. For example, if you want to protect your password, enable local administration, or enable the lapse solution, CyberArk was the best tool at the time. However, if you want to manage your mobile devices as well as your Windows 10 devices, Intune is the best option.

    Both goals are completely different. If you want to manage and control your devices, Intune is the best option.

    I work with Microsoft technology. I always strongly recommend Intune.

    I would rate Microsoft Intune a ten out of ten.

    Good pricing, excellent scalability, and offers integration with conditional access
    Pros and Cons
    • "We already use a lot of Microsoft products in our company, and therefore, it made sense to also use this product."
    • "There are a lot of small use cases where we realized that some technical solution was missing in Microsoft in comparison to other products. For example, it lacks something similar to sensing or location-based rules and configurations."

    What is our primary use case?

    We primarily use the solution for device management. 

    There are a lot of use cases, however, the base is the mobile security for our corporate devices and deployment of applications. We are a worldwide organization and in many countries. There are also country-based use cases, or areas that incorporate these use cases for some specific business units such as healthcare and similar SAP solutions. We have a lot of small areas where we use this, however, the main driver is improving the security of the devices and providing some automation configuration for the users including VPN solutions and corporate WiFi connections, applications, et cetera.

    How has it helped my organization?

    If I compared this product to XenMobile, except the conditional access, which was also partially possible to integrate with Citrix XenMobile, then there is not much difference between the two. The functionality s very good. However, the main way this has improved our organization is that there is support for conditional access and native integration with Office 365 services which we migrated to. 

    What is most valuable?

    The integration with conditional access is great. That's maybe the most important aspect of the solution.

    The pricing is very good.

    We already use a lot of Microsoft products in our company, and therefore, it made sense to also use this product.

    For the most part, the solution is stable.

    As a cloud solution, the scalability on offer is great.

    What needs improvement?

    There are a lot of small use cases where we realized that some technical solution was missing in Microsoft in comparison to other products. For example, it lacks something similar to sensing or location-based rules and configurations.

    We would like, for example, integrated remote control or a remote session tool or something like this. You must have TeamViewer and the integration with this is limited and it's extra money. Nothing is built-in. Some functionalities are really limited to fully managed devices and so on. It took a long time for them to integrate the big ECS infrastructure into the corporate devices. This is now done, however, it took a longer time than expected.

    Technical support could be h=better.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    We've used the solution for the last three years, starting with the integration. 

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    The solution is pretty stable. As it is in the cloud, there are not many issues in terms of a service outage or things like this. Maybe when there are new patches integrated every month, which sometimes happens, some functionality may be influenced or affected. It's more or less a small issue, however, issues are possible. I don't recall a situation where downtime happened or users were really affected, however. It's just an occasional issue we may have with a patch that we would need to address.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    The solution is quite scalable. As a cloud product, there are no issues surrounding expanding if you need to. 

    We have maybe 27,000 people using the solution at this time. There is a plan to have all mobile users in this solution, so we are talking about 70,000 users at some point. However, it's a question also of the licenses, as you have to have a license for that product.

    How are customer service and support?

    Technical support is hit and miss. Sometimes it's really good and other times it's not so great.

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

    We used Citrix Endpoint Management in the past. We used it about two years ago. It was a good product. They are comparable, really, Citrix and Microsoft. 

    How was the initial setup?

    I was not involved from the beginning of the project. However, from what I remember, we did the implementation directly with the help of a support engineer from Microsoft. Their involvement ensured the setup was not such a big deal.

    Deployment took maybe one year in our environment, however, this was because we had a lot of time to tune it up and to test it, to have a pilot for a few months and then add more people to the pilot before we started migrations for mobile, for example. We took our time to really prepare the product as best as possible and then deployed it to the users and migrated them over.

    We have two levels of people at a global level that handle deployment and maintenance. They mostly focus on improving the environment, not troubleshooting WiFi issues. 

    What about the implementation team?

    We had direct assistance from Microsoft. Their assistance made the process seamless and it was a positive experience.

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

    The solution offers reasonable pricing.

    It's my understanding that we have the licensing set up for monthly payments, however, it's not an aspect of the solution I'm directly involved with. I don't know enough about it.

    That said, I am aware that, in order to have mobile involved, you need the EMS solution or EMS license, and that's an extra cost to the standard Office license.

    What other advice do I have?

    We're just a customer and an end-user.

    As we are on the cloud version of the solution, we are more or less on the latest version of the solution.

    The product was chosen for political reasons, as the company is mostly using Microsoft products and also the prices were maybe better than other options. 

    I'd recommend the solution to others. If they are already using Microsoft or 365, it's a good product for companies sot have. 

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

    Helps with endpoint management, which includes security and compliance
    Pros and Cons
    • "We are a remote company, and the product helps us manage the global endpoints. It helps us natively manage the endpoints in the cloud from anywhere."
    • "We faced issues with macOS support. The product should have better inventory and asset management."

    What is our primary use case?

    We use the solution for endpoint management, which includes security and compliance. 

    How has it helped my organization?

    We are a remote company, and the product helps us manage the global endpoints. It helps us natively manage the endpoints in the cloud from anywhere. 

    What is most valuable?

    Microsoft Intune's most valuable feature is Autopilot. 

    What needs improvement?

    We faced issues with macOS support. The product should have better inventory and asset management. 

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using the product for four to five 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?

    My company has 200 users. 

    How was the initial setup?

    Microsoft Intune's deployment is straightforward. 

    What about the implementation team?

    We did the deployment in-house. 

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

    I liked the tool's pricing until P2 came into effect. I am unsure about the current value versus the cost of the new licensing model. 

    What other advice do I have?

    Microsoft Intune has improved access to devices for remote wipes. We can act quickly whenever someone leaves a company or a device gets stolen. It offers more visibility into our IT group. 

    The tool's cloud-focused availability has improved the organizational security posture. It has helped to save time. We can do a lot more with a smaller team.

    I rate the product a nine out of ten.

    Easy to deploy, integrate and manage everything from a single console
    Pros and Cons
    • "The most valuable includes managing everything from a single console."
    • "Integration with Mac devices requires some improvement."

    What is our primary use case?

    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.

    How has it helped my organization?

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

    What is most valuable?

    The most valuable includes managing everything from a single console.

    What needs improvement?

    Integration with Mac devices requires some improvement.

    For how long have I used the solution?

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

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    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.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

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

    How are customer service and support?

     Customer service and support are good.

    How would you rate customer service and support?

    Positive

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

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

    How was the initial setup?

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

    What about the implementation team?

    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.

    What other advice do I have?

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