Microsoft Intune Reviews

The solution is primarily used for people who want to manage their mobile devices.

It's difficult to describe how we've been able to improve our organization specifically with this solution.

The most valuable aspect of the product is that we are able to send application deployments and certifications for conditional access.

The solution is very easy to install.

The stability is good.

You can scale the solution if you need to.

Technical support is helpful. 

The MacBook management could be better. 

They should have better integration with, for example, Apple.

The synchronization could be improved.

They need to work on providing better troubleshooting techniques. 

I've been using the solution for two years. 

It's a very stable solution. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable. 

We have found the solution to be scalable. 

We have about 20 clients using the product. Typically, the users would be managers or assistant administrators. 

We've used technical support in the past. They are very fast and they know what they are talking about. We're happy with the level of support we get.

The implementation process is simple. It's very straightforward. 

I'd rate the overall initial setup process at a four out of five. 

Deployment times vary. It depends on the product. Our clients, for example, we're deploying it to all of their mobile devices. We use architects and engineers for the deployment process. How many we need depends on the project. We typically need, let's say, one architect and then, depending on the size of the project, one or more engineers.

We can integrate the product for our clients if they need us to.

I can't speak to seeing any specific ROI.

Customers do have to pay a licensing fee. Our clients pay a monthly subscription cost.

I cannot speak to the exact price as the licensing is complex. 

It's decent, however. I would rate it at a four out of five.

We did look at other solutions. The one we did look at closely was more for larger organizations in the manufacturing industry, which wouldn't have fit with our needs. 

We are Microsoft partners.

We are integrating the solution for our clients. 

I'd recommend the solution to others. With Intune, many companies may already have the product if they are also already using Microsoft.

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

We use Microsoft Intune to secure our mobile access when you're assessing your data from your mobile. Additionally, we use the solution to limit people from transferring files to people that are not part of our domain, and secure company data from exposure.

The one feature we find most useful is the Mobile Application Manager. There are two types, we have the complete MDM and the Mobile Application Manager(MAM). We don't give our users phones, it is their own personal phone, and we need to allow them to have access to the company detail on their phone. We need to create a balance between their own personal data and the company data. We deploy the  Mobile Application Manager for them so that we won't be able to interfere with their own personal data.

We are always working with Microsoft on improvements. Improvement is not something that is static, we are always looking for a dynamic way of working with Microsoft. We have a support and enterprise agreement with Microsoft. Every quarter, we review the performance of all our solutions and then we ask for further improvement.

In the next release, I would like a feature to be able to properly lock down the device. For example, if an attacker or somebody steals the phone, you can be sure that the pin cannot be broken.

I have been using Microsoft Intune for approximately four years.

I have found Microsoft Intune to be stable.

Microsoft Intune is scalable.

The installation is not complex.

I would advise others to ensure that the technical people are well versatile and trained, especially the technical people that will implement Microsoft Intune.

I rate Microsoft Intune a nine out of ten.

Being able to use it to control phones is the most valuable feature. 

It's a developing product, so there's lots of room for improvement. There's a lot of stuff we couldn't do because Google and Apple prevent you from doing a lot of the stuff you'd like to do. 

Microsoft documentation is a bit hard to get around, so having more control over devices would be good.

I've been using Intune for about a year or so.

We had no problems with stability.

It's hard to find the information to work out what you need to configure, but it's easy once you get to know how to work it.

The pricing is pretty good.

I would rate it an eight out of ten.

We use Microsoft Endpoint Manager for patch management and software and application deployment. We also use it to engage with the user to be flexible and encourage them to use our organizational tool in their home or country, along with Microsoft 365 features and VDI.

Microsoft Endpoint Manager's patch management has been the most helpful to us. However, Microsoft Endpoint Manager has a lot of features. We could use it for cost management, inventory, and security purposes. But, bottomline, its best feature is patch management.

No tool is 100% perfect. An issue we have run into with Microsoft Endpoint Manager is that we cannot patch third-party products like Adobe and Chrome with it.

I have more than 10 years of experience with Microsoft Endpoint Manager. 

Microsoft Endpoint Manager is scalable. We have not run into any issues. 

The initial setup was not easy for me.

The pricing is reasonable. Microsoft Endpoint Manager is not expensive overall, especially for small environments. But for enterprises with more than 6,000 or 7,000 users, it can start to get a little expensive.

I'm a solution architect. When I put up a new solution for managing devices, I prefer to put it on Microsoft Intune.

At the moment, Autopilot is the most valuable feature.

The main disadvantage seen today is regarding Linux clients. We have a lot of development resources that have Linux on their clients, and we can't manage them on the same platform, as we do with other clients such as macOS and Windows. So, it should have support for Linux clients. It should also have better support for macOS.

I have been familiar with it since it was released. 

It is very stable.

It is scalable.

It depends on the technology for which you ask them for support.

We are also working with VMware Workspace ONE. When comparing these two products, I prefer Intune.

It is simple. It is easier than easy.

It is reasonable. When you have Microsoft 365 E3 or E5 license, it is already licensed in that license. So, you could say it is free.

It is quite easy to get people who understand the technology. For other platforms, at least in Sweden, there are not so many technicians who understand the technology.

I would rate it an eight out of 10.

We use the policies and the features to quickly access devices and make policies for users working in another country, but their device is from Brazil.

The most valuable features are that users can make screenshots, and devices only need the minimal version of iOS.

The major problem with this product is that there can be delays in the deployment of new policies.

I have been working with Microsoft Intune for almost two years.

I would rate this solution as nine out of ten.

We are a system integrator who provides services to a variety of customers. I have provided this solution for a couple of my customers.

Microsoft Intune is primarily used to apply compliance requirements, install updates, and prevent users from sharing data because it is, part of the EMS, not just Intune.

For the price, the features included with Microsoft are appealing.

That is subjective because I haven't used anything other than Intune for MDM and MAM. We were fairly satisfied, I would say, but there are always a few things that our customers mention, such as this was simple.

Compatibility is another point raised by the customer. Microsoft is always a little behind when it comes to compatibility.  For example, Microsoft does not support Linux. or, any other platforms offered by other vendors.

The remote screen support and remote assistance were two features that we greatly missed in Intune. According to our customers who use Workspace ONE, it is available. For example, you can get remote assistance for an iPhone, which is somewhat reliant on a third-party solution, for Microsoft. We were not able to do that for testing purposes, we faced some challenges. We had to purchase an additional subscription from Teams Viewer.

Microsoft Intune lacks the ability to provide seamless remote assistance or remote control.

I have been familiar with Microsoft Intune for approximately three to four years.

Getting assistance from Microsoft is a difficult task, as we have noticed over the last few years that service is deteriorating. 

It's deteriorating in the sense that you don't get the proper resource the first time you call, message, or email. You should wait or inquire first. Normally, the person you are aligned with is usually someone who works on the front lines. On occasion, we may ask the support team to connect us with the appropriate individual or escalate the ticket.

This is my personal experience with Microsoft. I can't compare it to anything else.

Based on my conversation with my customer, they say that VMware Workspace ONE is easier to install.

While I have not tried to install VMware Workspace ONE myself, I don't find Microsoft Intune to be difficult to install.

No one can compete with Microsoft when it comes to price, and the features it is offering.

They bundle different things with EMS. 

EMS, which is a suite that includes Intune, along with some other products is still extremely competitive with other competitors. 

At the moment, I'm comparing it to VMware Workspace ONE.

I was comparing Microsoft Intune to VMware Workspace ONE, or EMS as it is more commonly known.

I would rate Microsoft Intune an eight out of ten, but when you add in the rest of the products, such as AIP and Azure Premium, I would say nine.

I use Microsoft Intune for mobile device management applications.

The solution could improve by having better integration with Apple.

I have been using Microsoft Intune for approximately two years.

The stability of Microsoft Intune is good.

We have 9,000 users using this solution in my organization.

The implementation was straightforward and it took approximately two months.

The reseller of the solution has helped us with the implementation.

We have five engineers that are maintaining this solution.

I would advise others this solution is easy to implement in the organization.

I rate Microsoft Intune an eight out of ten.

Compliance and the policies that can be set are the most valuable features.

It should be simplified. I've worked with many different mobile device management solutions, and Intune is one of the more complex ones. It could be more simplified, and some of it is related to the wording that is being used, such as a configuration profile versus a policy. They really should have had different names to make it less confusing.

I haven't really seen any negative on that yet.

Tech support is pretty decent for Microsoft. A colleague of mine had previously talked to them about Intune. As a partner, we also get counseling time with them. We get advisory services with them where we can speak back and forth with them on projects. We can ask them how would we implement it and what are the pros and cons. Sometimes, they came up with things that we weren't even thinking about or they confirmed what we were finding. I was on a call earlier this week, but it wasn't specific to Intune in this case. We found out something was not possible, and they confirmed it for us, which actually saved us hours of additional research. As far as I know, the advisory is only for partners.

One of the pieces of advice is to become very familiar with the cloud environment. In general, always think in the big picture, not just in the isolated issue or item that you want to accomplish. That's because Intune or Azure, in general, is just so over-encompassing. You really have to think about the big picture and not just about the simple project that you're trying to focus on. Otherwise, it will come back to bite you if you didn't plan it right.

There are some MDMs out there that are simpler and easier, perhaps even better to use. It also depends on the application. It depends on if you've got all Windows devices, all Apple devices, or all Android devices. It also depends on if you have a combination. If you've got all Apple devices, there are a couple of products out there that are probably the best MDM, but they won't help you at all with Windows or Android because they're not designed for that. Intune is trying to be all-inclusive to everything. In some ways, that's an Achilles heel too.

I would rate Intune a seven out of 10. 

Generally, we use it with banking, finance, or government entities, usually medium to large customers. We also have smaller customers who are dealing with sensitive private data and therefore are interested in running Intune on top of their Office 365 licensing.

I like the fact that it's integrated with the rest of the Microsoft products, so customers can manage it from their Office 365 portal or Azure portal.

If you could replace SCCM completely with Intune, that would be fantastic so that you don't have to run SCCM with Intune as an extension.

They could also make it easier to use because there are some other products that may be easier to use in terms of the look and feel of the dashboard.

The stability is quite mature here in Australia.

The scalability is quite good.

The technical support is really good. First level support is just your normal desktop level, but the second or third level is much deeper. It's pretty good

Usually, if I log a call in the morning, I may get a call in the afternoon to sort it out through screen share. Sometimes, it's someone in Shanghai that takes the call, and I speak Chinese, and they speak Chinese, so I'm pretty happy with that.

If the customer is already operating on a cloud environment, then it's easy, but if a customer has a hybrid environment, then it can be complex.

If they've got people who are now working home that previously used to work in the office and they still want them to use their work laptops at home, it gets complex. You would need to start looking at registering the devices into Azure AD, which then leads to Azure AD premiums. Therefore, you would need to find out from Microsoft whether to add the device into Azure AD, to register it, that you would also need MDM or an Intune license added on top.

If you're ever going to buy an Office 365 environment, then pricing is reasonable given all that it does, but if you're not, then you might find the pricing expensive.

I would recommend that they check it out thoroughly because things are moving very quickly with Microsoft, and we get better support now, given Australia's a hero country of Microsoft.

A lot of companies are switching to hybrid environments because of COVID, and Microsoft Intune can be deployed in a hybrid environment.

However, because Microsoft Intune doesn't totally replace SCCM, I would rate it at seven on a scale from one to ten.
