Pros and Cons
- "One of the main features of the solution is it allows the management of many devices in different ways."
- "When Microsoft Intune is used with different android devices it does not always work as it is supposed to."
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
One of the main features of the solution is it allows the management of many devices in different ways.
What needs improvement?
When Microsoft Intune is used with different android devices it does not always work as it is supposed to.
The enrollment in Microsoft Intune is based on user accounts and not devices. It can be different to maintain different profiles for the same user. It cannot work together with other solutions. For example, if you have a normal user having a mobile phone, and they also have a tablet that they use that is managed from another MDM solution, such as Airwatch, the two can not cooperate if you are using the same Microsoft account on those two devices. They need to allow enrolment through the device IDs.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been working with this solution for one year.

881,733 professionals have used our research since 2012.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
We have not had any issue with the scalability.
We have approximately 7,000 users using this solution.
How was the initial setup?
I do not think it is ever straightforward to use a Mobile Device Management System. Especially in our case, we were enrolling a lot of different devices that were already in use. That is always complicated and I do not think the fault is with Intune. It is complicated because Android can be used by different manufacturers, such as Huawei, Samsung, or Sony, and all of them can be very different.
What other advice do I have?
I rate Microsoft Intune an eight out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Provides functionality for data protection on one's laptop and desktop
Pros and Cons
- "As the solution is a software as a service, the scalability is unlimited."
- "It would be great to see on-premises mailboxes and for the solution to have geofencing capabilities."
What is our primary use case?
The solution affords data protection on mobile device management. It also provides functionality for data protection on one's laptop and desktop. But, this requires a different ecosystem for the provision of full data protection. A person can utilize this if he has a cloud proxy and something in his infrastructure.
What is most valuable?
MM and MDM are two useful features that we employ.
What needs improvement?
It would be great to see on-premises mailboxes and for the solution to have geofencing capabilities.
As it is a next generation product, the patching abilities should also be addressed.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using Microsoft Intune for the last three or four years.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
As the solution is a software as a service, the scalability is unlimited.
How are customer service and technical support?
We are satisfied with the partner and community support of Microsoft.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup can be a bit complex, although this ultimately depends on the requirements of the business. If a proper framework is established then the solution is simpler to deploy.
Moreover, the company culture impacts the complexity of the deployment. There are times when we must provide guides or that user training is required. When deploying in the developer community, in which the participants are tech savvy, the process will be easier. Conversely, when doing so in a non-developer community, this process can take awhile.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The licensing costs we leave up to the customer and these vary from one to another. This is because it depends on whether or not the customer will opt for an open license enterprise agreement.
What other advice do I have?
The solution is solely cloud-based.
We work with medium and enterprise businesses.
I rate Microsoft Intune as an eight out of ten.

Keeps integrity of standard deployments, scalable, and straightforward installation
Pros and Cons
- "The most valuable features are the ones that make sure that the deployment is of a standard operating system and the Zero Touch deployment, which is very useful. This allows users to have an out of box experience."
- "There is improvement needed in integrating with the installed Office solutions versions, such as Office 2019. The Office 365 integrates without a problem."
What is our primary use case?
We use the solution for the deployment of the Windows 10 laptops and devices, and mobile device management of Android and iOS devices.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable features are the ones that make sure that the deployment is of a standard operating system and the Zero Touch deployment, which is very useful. This allows users to have an out of box experience.
What needs improvement?
There is improvement needed in integrating with the installed Office solutions versions, such as Office 2019. The Office 365 integrates fine.
While using the solution, you have to test and validate a lot. This is not really a solution issue but more of a configuration issue but still worthy of noting.
We have experienced an issue while deploying a Windows 10 machine, once you get the user profile applications installed, it does not always integrate well with third-party multi-factor authentication solutions. This is something that can be improved in the future.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for the last year.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is reliable. However, it depends on the stability of your network and the internet connectivity.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I have not had the chance to fully test the scalability because, although it is an enterprise solution, the organizations that I am working for tend not to have a large-scale, full-blown deployment at once of all the Windows 10 or mobile devices.
We plan to increase the usage of the solution. We have a number of my customers that are just starting with the solution, one is only doing the Windows 10 devices, the other one is only doing mobile device management. We have some clients that have it installed but it is not being fully used yet.
How was the initial setup?
The installation was straightforward.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
There is a license needed for this solution and it is either included in one of the enterprise license agreements. Microsoft licensing is a mathematical institute, it could be quite complex. We tend to ask specialized organizations to research what the most profitable way it would be for us to use licenses in the organizations.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We did evaluate other solutions before we selected this one.
What other advice do I have?
Those who want to implement this solution have to ask themselves a few questions.
How do you introduce an additional security layer within my organization? If it is concerning the devices that you are using? Think big, act small, start with the smaller issues that you are having and make sure that the bigger picture stays within reach. Start with either mobile device management, or either Windows 10 deployment on laptops and PCs.
Make sure that you also have security governance because otherwise, you can introduce millions and millions of features and options but it still has to be a good user experience for the people that have to use these devices. If you fully block and fully restrict the devices, then it will not be a good user experience for the people that are actually in the field. There are actions that have to be done due to security and also by means of user experience optimization and security.
I rate Microsoft Intune an eight out of ten.

The initial setup is not overly complex or difficult. It is easy. The implementation is straightforward.
The deployment process is pretty quick. It takes a couple of days, and not quite a week.
What about the implementation team?
We can implement the solution for our clients.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Being a deployment or being a technical resource, I'm not that good in the pricing. It's not an aspect o the solution I directly deal with. I can't speak to the specific costs to a company.
What other advice do I have?
We are a global distributor for Microsoft. I am a consultant. I do deployment for my customers.
I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten overall.
I would advise new users and organizations that they should follow the industry standard practices of configuring the policies and they can always highly rely on Microsoft for other security products as well.

What is most valuable?
It is very easy to use. It has a very easy interface.

Very easy to use but lacks network security and other features

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.
