Microsoft Intune Reviews

Our primary use case for Microsoft Intune is endpoint management across our enterprise, particularly for Windows and mobile endpoints.

Intune simplifies compliance. The ability to manage software updates and policies on endpoints has helped us meet contract requirements.

We like Intune's mobile device management features. When we migrated from another solution to Intune, onboarding our mobile devices was straightforward. Intune is pretty transparent for the end user. They have a customer portal, and I've never had complaints about it. 

The enterprise application management feature allows us to identify systems outside our standard security baseline and limit their access to company resources until they are updated and approved.

The interface is not as modern as some competitors in terms of single pane of glass visibility across the entire landscape. It has a very Azure vibe and may not be as graphically appealing as other products.

I have used Intune for around two years.

There are no complaints about the stability. It works one hundred percent of the time.

There are no concerns about scalability, especially coming from an on-premises solution. We no longer need additional hardware and infrastructure.

I rate Microsoft support eight out of 10. We haven't needed support much, but what we've gotten has been good. 

Positive

Previously, we used MobileIron for mobile devices, which is our primary use case for Intune. We switched to Intune mainly because it was included in our standard E5 license, providing cost savings and managing everything under a single pane of glass.

The initial setup was straightforward with minimal support required from Intune's side.

No external integrator, reseller, or consultant was used. All implementation was handled in-house.

We have seen a small return from the native integration with our Microsoft systems and Intune's reporting. 

With our standard E5 agreement with Microsoft, there have been no pricing concerns. Introductory professional services, like a fast-track service, were included with our E5 membership, and there have been no additional costs.

We evaluated Workspace ONE and Jamf for mobile management but stuck with Intune because it's included in our license.

I rate Microsoft Intune eight out of 10. It's a great solution, but there is room for it to become a more polished product.

Public Cloud

The feature that we need occasionally but is really important is the ability to remotely wipe a device, control it, and perform similar functions. Being able to update devices is extremely important. Especially when people do not bring their devices in, we need to be able to reach out and update them over the internet.

Microsoft Intune does a great job of helping protect our environment. Particularly for mobile devices, it is great because our team is able to reach those devices and control the data that is on them.

I am not involved in the day-to-day with Intune, but we have gone with a different product for updating mobile device software. We do not integrate many of our mobile devices that are not Microsoft-based devices, such as Dell laptops, with Intune. We are using KACE from Quest to update our systems. We find that Intune is good with smaller mobile devices, the ones you put in your pocket. That is where I find Intune to be the best.

We had Microsoft Intune for a while, and we finally successfully deployed it.

Microsoft Intune scales effectively with growing needs.

We have not had to extend usage, but we are looking at Microsoft Intune for all kinds of new mobile devices that come out all the time. We will be expanding to cover those.

The support I get from Microsoft is very good. I have had a good experience with it. I would rate them a seven out of ten, which is pretty high in my book.

Neutral

Prior to adopting Microsoft Intune, we had KACE, but it could not handle mobile devices effectively. That is where Intune really shines.

I wasn't involved in the day-to-day deployment of it. I heard some pain points. The main thing is the learning curve.

It took time to implement. It was not the best product starting out of the gate. We were having difficulties getting our mobile devices integrated, but now we are doing much better. I was not in charge of the Intune deployment, but I am aware of some of the challenges they have been experiencing. It was really hard to integrate all the mobile devices. We integrated Surface devices properly, but our mobile workforce has many Apple iPhones, and those did not work quite as efficiently. We have got it all completed now. It is going smoothly.

Overall, the user experience with Microsoft Intune has a learning curve, but they are doing much better with it now. We had a really small help desk department, so they were stretched thin, but we have hired enough people now that we are able to get Intune deployed and working properly. We are in good shape.

We haven't moved a lot of our infrastructure to the cloud or Azure. We're still very much on-prem. We're a water district. We process water. A lot of our assets are physical, and they need to be secure. However, a lot of business applications are more Internet-connected. We have some cloud applications as software as a service.

We have seen a return on investment from Microsoft Intune. The main advantage is being able to manage the mobile devices at a good cost. Microsoft generally prices things pretty competitively, except for Azure, which is very expensive.

Microsoft Intune is pretty reasonable. We have difficulty with Azure, which is probably why we have not put many assets in Azure. Everything we put there is very expensive. Because we have so much on-premises equipment and assets, we put many items on-premises for that reason, and only if something absolutely has to live in the cloud, we put it there.

Before choosing Microsoft Intune, they did look at other options. I do not remember what was on the short list of what we were evaluating, but we have been using Intune for a while. Getting it deployed just took time.

I have played around a bit with Copilot for Microsoft Intune, but I use it more on O365. For Intune, I am not sure if we are using it. We do not use Advanced Endpoint Analytics as much because we have many other security tools. I find Microsoft to be good at the front end, especially for Exchange and similar applications. For inbound items, it is the first line of defense. We have many other layered defenses, with Microsoft being one of those layers.

I would recommend we stick with it. It has been great. I would rate Microsoft Intune a seven out of ten.

I am an IT consultant, and I mainly advise my customers on how to implement Microsoft 365 solutions like Microsoft Intune within small and large companies.

First of all, the integration with the rest of Microsoft's products is a major win. Secondly, it comes from a vendor for which we manage most of the operating systems, which is a big plus. 

As a software-as-a-service, it is updated monthly, meeting all the new functionality provided by the operating system vendors. If I don't have an endpoint management solution, I must go to each computer individually to harden systems, install software and data. 

Comparing this to having an endpoint management solution, the efficiency gain may be up to 80%.

The biggest challenge Microsoft has with its own product is supporting all the versions of its own product as well. A major challenge is making all the products work within device management solutions like Intune. It would be beneficial if Microsoft removed support for older products much earlier in the process. 

However, given that they have paying customers, it's not something they can easily do. Ideally, we would have a product capable of managing the latest versions of the operating systems without having to deal with outdated systems.

I have been using the product actively for about five to seven years.

Customer service is not really good. I would give it a six out of ten. The main issue is the time it takes to get someone involved who truly understands what the product does and what the real issue is. I do realize that my support requests are the more advanced ones. 

Neutral

Getting used to working with a product like Intune is easier if I'm already familiar with other Microsoft products, as many companies are. The adoption rate is quite fast. Other vendors provide good solutions as well. Ultimately, it depends on what I am accustomed to. If I have worked for 20 years with VMware technology, then adopting the VMware endpoint management solution might be easier than switching to Microsoft Intune.

It really saves time and resources. As mentioned earlier, I need not go to each machine to update it and install software when using a device management solution. The efficiency gain might be between 60% to 80% compared to other products. If compared to another product I am accustomed to, the results may vary.

As a consultant, I advise customers and help them implement it. In addition, I offer a service where customers purchase configuration updates from me on a subscription basis. I ensure the Intune environment and other products remain up-to-date. 

Microsoft is doing a good job in this area, and many customers who ask for my help already pay for the license. Cloud PKI has similar issues, where other vendors provided that functionality before. Customers who needed it previously adopted third-party solutions. 

Now, Cloud PKI has been available for a year, serving as a good alternative provided by Microsoft, although many customers continue to stick with solutions they had already adopted. 

My overall rating for this solution is eight out of ten.

We usually use Microsoft Intune to manage our devices and add security layers to protect access to all company resources.

The main benefit for us with Microsoft Intune is centralized management of all devices, allowing us to apply one policy across the company from one location.

What I like the most about Microsoft Intune is its ability to manage mobile devices. Through integration with System Center, it can also manage desktops and laptops. We also appreciate how easy it is to manage everything from the console.

The enterprise application management feature lets you manage, deploy, or uninstall applications from Intune. It also enables us to automate updates. The Cloud PKI feature helps us manage security keys on all company devices. 

Intune should improve the management of non-Microsoft devices. It would be better to manage Mac, Android, and other non-Microsoft operating system devices within the same Intune interface.

I have been using Microsoft Intune for almost five years now.

I rate Microsoft Intune nine out of 10 for stability.

We are not a huge company to check the scalability part. However, when discussing with our customers across the region, it seems fine, especially with the integration with System Center.

I rate Microsoft support nine out of 10. We have not used customer support, but it seems okay. If something happens, we open a case and receive assistance.

Positive

While I didn't perform the initial deployment, I know it's easy to roll out Intune across all devices. 

From the device perspective, particularly for desktops, it automates application deployment and secures all the devices. Importantly, when someone leaves the company, it helps protect document access on their devices. Onboarding and offboarding users is a great asset in terms of ROI.

We are partners, so we receive some discount. However, from the customer's perspective, Microsoft Intune's pricing is competitive with non-Microsoft technology, and the price is good compared to other market competitors.

I rate Microsoft Intune nine out of 10.

Public Cloud

Our primary use of Microsoft Intune is for device management and improve security. Initially, it focused on management for Windows devices. However, over time, its capabilities have expanded to encompass mobile device management in general, as well as management for other platforms like iPO, Android and Mac OS devices.

To ensure our devices are manageable regardless of location, we transitioned from an on-premises device management solution to Microsoft Intune. This cloud-based approach allows us to manage devices from anywhere, eliminating the need for them to be on our company network or VPN. Intune empowers us to remotely take actions on devices, including software installation, user identification, performance checks, and even triggering a remote lock if a device is compromised.

While most of our devices are company-owned, we also manage a small number of personal devices. Regardless of location, Intune allows us to manage them all.

Intune streamlines mobile application management by offering a single pane of glass for all devices across platforms, including iOS, Android, MacOS and Windows. It integrates seamlessly with the respective app stores for each platform.

Intune is a key component of a zero-trust security architecture. With Intune, we can manage our entire device fleet from a single platform. This enables us to enforce compliance policies. Intune verifies if devices meet our organization's security standards. We can implement zero-trust access control. Non-compliant devices are blocked from accessing company resources. Secure devices are granted access. Intune helps consolidate security management. It simplifies device security by offering features like compliance checks, security posture assessments, and configuration management - all in one place. Finally, Intune reduces management overhead: Intune streamlines device management by eliminating the need for multiple tools for tasks like patching and application deployment. While it may not offer the full functionality of specialized tools, it provides a comprehensive solution for core device security and configuration needs.

Intune offers comprehensive visibility and IT control over devices across various platforms. This allows for remote management, although integration with additional solutions or configuration might be necessary in some cases. However, Intune provides a single point of control for all our devices. Key functionalities include remote device control. We can manage devices remotely and trigger various actions. As well as advanced features to locate devices, enforce data synchronization, and more. It's important to note that certain advanced functionalities, like admin-level remote control, require device approval and may not be as robust as solutions offered by competitors, such as TeamViewer. Additionally, to access features like privileged email access, privileged device management, and advanced remote assistance, additional licensing is required, resulting in increased costs.

For users, Intune offers a seamless experience. Once their devices are enrolled, they typically don't need to do anything further. This is especially true for end users. For administrators, Intune is also an easy-to-use solution. Being cloud-based, it's accessible from a web portal just like any other SaaS application. The company portal experience is straightforward. Once users understand the basics, they can easily check device compliance and install applications. Overall, the user experience is very positive. However, device enrollment might require some training. Not everyone is comfortable managing their devices themselves. Even though the enrollment process is fairly simple and intuitive, some user training and change management might be necessary, especially for mobile device management in Intune. This is because multi-factor authentication is sometimes required to enroll devices, and some users may need help understanding and completing this step.

It provides a centralized solution for viewing all our devices. It also simplifies enrollment for Windows devices. Once we enable automatic enrollment for on-premises devices or upon user sign-in to company applications, enrollment can be seamlessly done through mobile devices. The most significant benefit is undoubtedly patching. Intune automates the process of keeping devices updated with the latest Windows updates and feature updates. This significantly reduces administrative overhead. After setting up the policies, we can be confident that updates are being applied without needing to constantly monitor them. Intune also offers improved visibility into device compliance. Unlike traditional Group Policies, which may only show successful application but not actual implementation, Intune displays the real-time status of enforced policies on each device. This allows us to see if features like BitLocker encryption or security restrictions are truly active, providing greater confidence in our device security posture. In essence, Intune offers a significant improvement in terms of device visibility and configuration management.

Intune's device compliance policies offer organizations valuable visibility into device settings. This includes essential requirements like BitLocker password complexity and minimum Windows or OS versions. Additionally, these policies allow for the deployment of custom compliance settings. This lets us measure compliance against any specific criteria. For example, one of my clients uses Intune to verify if CrowdStrike is running on the required version and if devices have downloaded the latest updates. By ensuring compliance, we can be confident that devices are secure against the latest vulnerabilities and security risks. This provides an extra layer of assurance. When used in conjunction with conditional access, Intune can block non-compliant devices. This guarantees that only compliant devices can access our organization's resources and applications. From a security standpoint, this offers significant peace of mind.

Application deployment in Intune offers several features that streamline the process. These features include applicability rules. We can deploy applications only to devices that meet specific criteria, such as operating system version or name. This ensures users receive the applications they need and avoids unnecessary installations. Device filtering allows us to exclude devices that don't require the application, further optimizing deployment efficiency. While Windows Win32 applications require packaging, the process is straightforward. Although automation would be ideal, packaging becomes easier with practice. Microsoft could potentially improve Intune by allowing seamless import of SCCM application packages. This would eliminate the need for repackaging and streamline migration. Overall, Intune simplifies application deployment for administrators. Features like self-service installation through the company portal empower users and reduce administrative burden. Packaging requirements vary depending on the application type. Standard applications like Office 365 are straightforward to deploy. Additionally, Intune integrates directly with app stores for iOS and Android apps, eliminating the need for manual packaging for these platforms.

Intune excels at securing hybrid work environments and protecting data on both company-owned and BYODs. It allows for selective wiping of company data from these devices without affecting personal information. However, for data downloaded from company applications like OneDrive, additional security policies might be necessary to ensure its security on downloaded devices, especially BYODs. The good news is that Intune allows the management of BYODs, enabling the deployment of settings, configurations, and security measures to assess the device's security posture. Notably, it's very easy to deploy for BYODs with its mobile application management for iOS and Android. For securing data within applications on Windows devices, Microsoft's Windows Information Protection capabilities seem to have been replaced. There's now a category requirement, likely used to secure data accessed through the Edge browser on privileged devices. This ensures data remains secure when users access it through Edge. It's important to note that some aspects of data security on BYODs might require additional configuration to guarantee complete protection.

Microsoft security signals identify the settings configurations we need to enforce on the devices. Then, it's up to organizations to deploy those settings or configurations. So, it's a good thing. It helps us understand what additional security we need to enable on the devices. Microsoft signals do help us do that, but it may not be enough. We might have various other compliance requirements that not everything would be covered under Microsoft signals, I believe.

Intune's endpoint privilege management is a valuable feature. It allows granting privileges to specific applications instead of giving local admin rights to users or entire devices. This can improve security by minimizing the attack surface. While EPM requires an additional license, it's a worthwhile consideration for many organizations. I've experimented with it in a lab setting, but we haven't deployed it for production use yet.

It has significantly boosted our IT department's productivity by automating many tasks. For instance, we no longer need to create custom images with Autopilot; we can simply deploy application settings configurations. Additionally, Intune seamlessly handles Windows updates and feature updates once they're configured. It's a set-and-forget system. Application deployment is also significantly simplified, saving admins valuable time. Overall, Intune improves IT productivity and empowers users with self-service features. Once trained, users can handle tasks like application installation, device compliance checks, and remediation actions for non-compliant devices.

While Intune isn't designed to identify security breaches directly like Defender does, it plays a crucial role in minimizing our attack surface. This is achieved by deploying the latest updates, configurations, and endpoint security policies. In my experience, Intune has significantly improved our overall security posture by reducing vulnerabilities, but it's not a replacement for breach detection tools.

Intune helps save costs by consolidating multiple endpoint management solutions. For instance, we might have separate solutions for iOS devices, Android devices, and Mac devices. By bringing everything together into a single solution with Intune, we can save on both platform licensing costs and administrative costs. Additionally, Intune reduces the need for additional per-device licensing fees that may have been incurred with separate solutions.

The user interface is well-designed and easy to navigate. It has a simple and well-structured layout, which makes it a pleasure to use. I'm very happy with the overall experience of the Intune portal. They also seem to be continuously improving it, with updates made on a monthly basis.

It streamlined our mobile device management by allowing us to manage both iOS and Windows devices under a single solution. This consolidation reduced the number of consoles and overall management tools required.

The integration of Microsoft Intune with Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Defender for Cloud strengthens cloud management and support for hybrid environments. This unified approach bridges the gap between cloud-based and on-premises device management, allowing organizations to leverage existing infrastructure while transitioning to cloud solutions.

One of the biggest advantages is that it brings the management of Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and even Linux under a single pane of glass. This means we can manage all our devices from one central location.

A particular advantage is its tight integration for managing Windows devices. Since Intune is a native Microsoft product, it offers a more comprehensive and streamlined experience compared to many third-party solutions.

For mobile device management, Intune includes all the capabilities and features we'd expect from other vendors. However, it goes a step further by allowing us to secure Office 365 apps without needing full device management. This is a significant advantage when compared to other MDM solutions.

We package Win32 applications and import existing packages using solutions like SCCM or third-party tools. While Intune doesn't currently offer third-party application patching, we rely on third-party solutions for that functionality.

A new Intune feature - Enterprise App management allows to deploy Microsoft and Third party apps and keep them up to date but it incurs additional licensing costs. Ideally, this feature should be included in the base license. Similarly, the privilege endpoint management feature also requires additional licensing.

Intune would benefit from offering some core features at no extra cost. The most valuable improvement, in my experience, would be the ability to identify inactive devices through reports. Customizable reporting capabilities within Intune would simplify overall management and allow us to track device activity and inactivity more effectively.

I have been using Microsoft Intune for over 10 years.

Microsoft Intune is an extremely stable product with a small amount of glitches over the years.

I would rate the stability 10 out of 10. 

Intune is cloud-based and therefore highly scalable. I have clients with over 40,000 devices.

The quality of Microsoft's technical support varies based on the level we have. Premium support offers faster escalation for complex issues, while basic support may have longer wait times for a response. However, there's a strong online community around Microsoft Intune. Searching questions online through Google can often lead us to solutions from this community.

Neutral

I have used Jamf, Microsoft Configuration Manager, Altiris Symantec Endpoint Management Suite, and Cisco Meraki Systems Manager. Microsoft is considered a leader in endpoint management solutions. While Jamf excels in specific areas, Microsoft Intune is generally recognized as the market leader due to its comprehensive capabilities. Intune also integrates seamlessly with other solutions such as compliance checks, conditional access policies, and mobile application management. Microsoft Intune offers several advantages over competitors, providing a comprehensive suite of mobile device management capabilities.

The time it takes to implement Intune depends on two factors: the features we want to enable and the size of our organization. Enabling basic management features for common devices like iOS, Android, Mac, and Windows typically takes one to two weeks. This includes enrolling devices and setting up core functionalities. For a full Intune implementation with all its capabilities, the timeline can vary depending on the organization's size. However, simply enrolling devices and exploring basic features can be done in a couple of days.

While the step-by-step guided scenarios make the initial deployment process easier, it still requires familiarity with Intune and some experience using it.

It is available for individual purchase at a low per-device cost. However, it's also included as part of the Microsoft 365 suite license. Additionally, Intune offers various tiers with advanced features at an extra cost.

I would rate Microsoft Intune 9 out of 10.

We have around 20,000 users on Intune and 4 people who work directly with it.

Intune requires annual maintenance to renew push certificates and tokens for business managers. For Windows devices, we might also need to deploy the latest application. Additionally, it's recommended to periodically review devices that are inactive, outdated, or haven't reported to Intune for a set amount of time. While Intune offers a "set and forget" approach for initial configuration, some ongoing maintenance is necessary to ensure its smooth operation.

I recommend Microsoft Intune to others.

Microsoft Azure

Our current use cases for the solution involve consulting and implementing for many customers. Primarily, the majority of our customers are India-based, but we have a few customers in the US. We essentially help them with all their device management, end-to-end, including mobile device management.

We are mainly using CoPilot in Microsoft Intune for configuration and from a productivity point of view. Additionally, we want to standardize many of these processes so we do not have to reinvent the wheel when we go to different customers. This is the context in which we are using CoPilot to help us speed up in terms of reusable objects that we can generate and then deploy across customers.

It is an ideal solution for customers who are a Microsoft-shop. The ecosystem plays a big role, and there is support for a variety of devices. I do not see any problem because Microsoft Intune supports all sorts of devices and platforms, but if their ecosystem is much more Microsoft, it is even easier for us from a configuration and implementation point of view.

We are using the enterprise application management feature in Microsoft Intune. We support end-to-end, and we have customers ranging from small to mid-size and large enterprises. Depending on the customer's needs, it may change, but we do use it. Enterprise application management in Microsoft Intune primarily helps in terms of throughput and productivity.

We can cater to more customers with the limited capacity that we have. We do not have to hire many more engineers, especially with CoPilot and other tools. Also, standardizing some of these deployment options across customers helps us to scale easily.

The most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is that it is more of a one-stop shop, providing an easier experience. The seamless experience and remote management for customers from our office with our engineers are the most convenient aspects. It increases productivity and helps us to scale and expand.

The user experience of Microsoft Intune is very good. For the last eight years, we have been using it effectively. It is probably one of the best experiences. I do not have any complaints or problems. My team quickly gets through it, and they understand it easily. Training becomes easier, especially when people move out and then get new people onboarded. It is a seamless experience.

So far, I have not heard any complaints because it is a pretty mature product. From my level of analysis, the feature I would prefer to see added to Microsoft Intune is extensive support. Anything that helps to diagnose the problem and solve it would be useful. Helping the engineers, especially with CoPilot, with ready or out-of-the-box solutions would make life a lot easier because that helps us reduce tickets and respond faster. They can support engineers to do their job better and in a much more proactive way. They can also suggest solutions so that we do not have to waste time. Being more proactive is essential.

I have been using Microsoft Intune for more than eight years.

Microsoft Intune is very stable. I have not experienced any downtime, crashes, or performance issues with Microsoft Intune at all.

Microsoft Intune scales with our growing needs. We are mostly catering to our customers, and scaling is never a problem. We have worked with customers with over 100,000 employees, so it performs exceptionally.

We support the entire M365 end-to-end, and Microsoft Intune is a part of that. We support all features and capabilities around Microsoft Intune. My team is technical. We give L1, L2, and L3 support, and we only escalate to L4, L5 when needed, which is a very limited situation. This happens only when new features and products are released, such as CoPilot, which we have not experienced before. Generally, my team is self-sufficient.

Positive

Its deployment is seamless. We have on-premises and cloud deployments. The cloud provider is Azure.

We have seen a return on investment. There are more revenue generation opportunities for us and productivity. Those are the two key aspects, along with customer satisfaction.

We have data points and metrics to calculate our return on investment, as we continuously track our internal stats, especially on the support side. We have to report back from the reports point of view, so we have many internal stats around it.

My experience with the pricing, setup costs, and licensing of Microsoft Intune has been good. As a partner, we always look for how we can generate more revenue from a consulting point of view, but I do not see any complaints from the customer side regarding pricing, so they are satisfied with it.

We have been using Microsoft Intune for a long time. We are a Microsoft partner, so we will stick with them.

I would rate Microsoft Intune an eight out of ten.

I use Microsoft Intune for mobile device management. My team is specifically responsible for managing mobile devices. Recently, we migrated all our devices to Intune from AirWatch. At my company, we are also utilizing Intune to manage desktops, laptops, and MVD devices.

One valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is the enrollment process, which is user-based, making it easier to manage compared to AirWatch. Additionally, the integration with Azure and other Office 365 apps is seamless. Another beneficial aspect is that Intune brings all endpoint and security management tools into one place, allowing us to streamline management and have a single point of view. Mobile users have found the enrollment process seamless, and the Company Portal displays required apps effectively.

There is room for improvement in the reporting capabilities, specifically app reporting. It is challenging to report which apps are installed on which device. Also, there needs to be more granularity in pulling up stale records. I cannot control mobile devices separately or create separate policies, which Microsoft mentioned they are working on.

I have been using Microsoft Intune for a little more than two years now.

The migration to Intune took some time to show benefits, as we started about two years ago and are finishing the migration now. Initially, there were challenges due to differences between Workspace ONE and Intune, requiring adjustments to internal policies.

From an end-user perspective, mobile users have had a good experience, with enrollment being seamless. However, there are concerns with inconsistent device syncing, as there are times when synchronization with Intune takes longer than expected.

My experience with customer service is that once I reach higher-level support, the service is good. However, intermediate levels of support haven't been very successful, so I often escalate to get higher-level engineers involved.

Neutral

I used AirWatch, which is now called Workspace ONE from VMware, before switching to Microsoft Intune due to better pricing with Intune, as it is included with an E5 license.

The initial setup of Microsoft Intune was made easier as I had previously been using it on the desktop side. However, there were challenges due to differences with Workspace ONE, but after addressing those, everything went smoothly.

My entire team was involved in the implementation, with at least three people working on it.

The pricing was much better with Microsoft Intune, as it is included with an E5 license, requiring no additional hardware purchases, which was a deciding factor for us to switch.

Overall, I would rate the solution a seven on a scale of one to 10. The more mature features of Workspace ONE mean it offers better functionality in some cases, but Microsoft Intune’s pricing and integration with our existing licenses make it more appealing financially.

Other

We primarily use Microsoft Intune for deploying Windows patches, security patches, and various software applications such as Office and Zoom. It serves as a deployment tool to manage updates and application installations on user machines.

One of the most valuable features of Microsoft Intune is the detection and remediation script capability. This allows us to detect issues on user machines and run remediation scripts based on these detections. This functionality has greatly helped us resolve issues more efficiently. Having all endpoint and security management tools in one place through Intune has streamlined operations and improved compliance, almost reaching 99%.

There is room for improvement in the remediation and detection modules, which are currently about eighty percent fully functional. There could be enhancements to address issues faced due to cloud or internet connectivity problems. These improvements would enhance precision and reliability.

I have been using Microsoft Intune for approximately one year.

I was part of the deployment discussion, and the process was complex and challenging. It required a lot of coordination across teams, such as security and stakeholders, for whitelisting and setup. However, once everything was configured, the tool performed effectively.

Microsoft Intune is very stable, although there is always room for improvement. I would rate its stability nine out of ten.

Being a Microsoft product, scalability is not an issue. Microsoft Intune can be scaled up or down as per requirements, making it highly scalable. I would rate its scalability ten out of ten.

The customer service and support from Microsoft is prompt and effective. If there are issues, we can raise requests, and they respond quickly. I would rate their service nine out of ten.

Positive

Previously, we used SCCM. However, Microsoft Intune offers better features, such as automatic remediation and improved deployment efficiencies, which is why we transitioned from SCCM to Intune.

The initial setup was complex and required considerable collaboration with security and other teams to complete necessary configurations.

The administration and implementation of Microsoft Intune were handled by a separate team. I initially joined the team to learn about its use and how to resolve issues.

In the long term, Microsoft Intune is cost-effective as it helps in monitoring software licenses and usage, allowing the uninstallation of unused applications to save license costs. It's about twenty percent more effective than SCCM.

The pricing of Microsoft Intune is costlier than SCCM in the short term, but it becomes less expensive in the long run due to features that allow better management of software licenses.

Before choosing Microsoft Intune, we did not evaluate any other alternatives. I consider Intune to have little competition in its category.

Microsoft Intune is a mandatory tool for companies due to its role as a deployment and security management backbone. It is evolving rapidly and will surpass other automation tools. I would rate Microsoft Intune nine out of ten.
