Microsoft Intune Reviews

We operate call centers and provide our agents with laptops that they use from their home environment or home offices. We use Microsoft Intune to manage those laptops remotely. This remote management accounts for 99 percent of our use cases.

Microsoft Intune has effectively managed our patching needs, resulting in very few system-wide issues. While a small number of laptops occasionally fail to receive updates, the vast majority are patched successfully without manual intervention.

Microsoft Intune has enabled us to effectively manage our laptops, which is crucial for our involvement in civilian federal projects. The platform allows us to maintain a necessary security patch level and address any bugs that may arise, ensuring our devices are always secure and functional. Implementing Intune provides a cost-effective solution that would otherwise be prohibitively expensive.

Our Intune users, the IT group and system administrators, are happy with the system and have not reported any complaints.

The most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is patching-related capabilities. This is because patches are constantly being released, and it requires us to stay current with bug-related and security-related patches, which is critical for our day-to-day operations. Intune's support in this area is crucial for us to maintain our laptops at a certain security patch level.

A more incisive reporting tool with automated progress updates and graphical representation would be beneficial, as the current manual method lacks efficiency and visual clarity.

I have been using the solution for about a year.

The stability of Microsoft Intune is ten out of ten. It has been very stable for us.

The scalability of Microsoft Intune is ten out of ten. Although we are not the largest company, it has never presented any scalability issues for us.

The customer service is above average. We have an Azure engineer on staff who handles troubleshooting. Although we have not had any major issues.

Positive

The initial setup is straightforward. We manage everything in-house with just a few commands needed before deploying laptops, never having to reconsider our processes.

We do everything ourselves without using a reseller or consultant.

We have never operated without Microsoft Intune, but it is apparent that it offers significant cost reductions. Operating without it would likely be prohibitively expensive, indicating a ninety-nine percent reduction in cost with Intune.

The alternative to Intune, sending out replacements for every issue, is prohibitively expensive. In contrast, Intune's pricing is reasonable considering its benefits and the high costs it helps avoid.

We evaluated other options that are tool-specific. For instance, our call center platform from NICE's CXone, has built-in Copilot-like capabilities. Nevertheless, Copilot remains our primary focus as it covers our entire spectrum of needs.

I rate Microsoft Intune nine out of ten.

We recently started using Copilot and find its support features very attractive. Our call center agents are internal customers who, like any customer, need occasional assistance with various issues. Copilot could benefit both IT and non-IT departments by providing faster service, self-guided troubleshooting, and access to relevant resources. For example, if an agent has an HR question, needs help with benefits, or experiences a technical issue like audio problems with their laptop, Copilot could guide them with self-service options or provide helpful files. This would empower our agents to resolve issues independently and efficiently. Our initial analysis suggests Copilot may have the potential to protect our environment, though our assessment is ongoing and we haven't begun implementation. Preliminary findings indicate it will be a valuable tool.

I used Microsoft Intune for compliance policies, configuration policies, and Intune enrollment.

We implemented Microsoft Intune to manage mobile devices in bulk and enforce management policies.

Intune was deployed in a hybrid environment. Devices were initially onboarded to Azure Active Directory and then enrolled in Intune. All devices originated from a local Active Directory.

Intune brought all of our endpoint and security management tools into one place. 

Having our endpoint and security management tools in one place saves time, and I have most of the information in one dashboard.

From an administrative and user standpoint, Intune offers a beneficial and secure user experience.

I have had a great experience with enterprise application management for app discovery, deployment, and automatic updating because it automates all the procedures.

Intune improved our data governance, security, central management, and policy application. I realized these benefits after two to three months of seeing how Intune works.

Intune effectively secures hybrid work environments and safeguards company data, especially on BYOD devices. Through Intune, we can monitor all devices accessing company data and manage them centrally, which is crucial.

Intune affected IT productivity in our organization by governing company data, securing global data, and saving time, all through central management.

It helped our organization save 50 percent of costs by integrating Office 365 and Intune into one license. We didn't have to use third-party software for mobile device management.

Intune helped consolidate vendors. This consolidation has dramatically improved our security posture.

The vendor consolidation helped reduce our licensing costs.

The integrated capabilities of Intune within the Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Security suites are essential for managing cloud and co-managed devices. They provide a comprehensive solution under a single license, eliminating the need to install agents from third-party vendors and saving significant time and effort.

The compliance and configuration policies in Microsoft Intune are the most valuable features, saving significant time compared to manual implementation. The security integration with Microsoft Defender is also valuable.

Although Intune is from the same provider, its integration with other Microsoft products, like Microsoft Defender or Microsoft Purview, could be improved. Regarding synchronization, there are occasional delays in updating a device's status. Integrating Microsoft products, such as Microsoft Purview, Microsoft Defender, and Entra, requires enhanced synchronization capabilities.

I have been using Microsoft Intune for almost three years.

I would rate the stability of Microsoft Intune eight out of ten.

I would rate the scalability of Microsoft Intune eight out of ten.

Intune has too many capabilities. Deploying it is not straightforward, but it gets easier once you understand how it works.

For 200 devices, the deployment took us almost three months to complete.

In conjunction with Microsoft Defender, Intune has significantly reduced our spending on third-party endpoint security solutions. For instance, we previously used Check Point, but after implementing Intune and Defender, we discontinued using it, resulting in substantial cost savings.

Our Office 365 Business Premium license, including Office 365 and Intune Management, offers excellent value.

I would rate Microsoft Intune eight out of ten.

I would recommend Microsoft Intune to others.

Intune offers a wide array of capabilities, and even after extensive familiarity with the platform, it's difficult to fully grasp its potential. To effectively implement Intune, it's recommended to conduct thorough research, primarily through online resources, to understand specific requirements and capabilities in advance.

We use it to manage our mobile devices. It is being used for security, compliance, and deployment.

The user experience is good; we could work and deploy many controls through Microsoft Intune. It is easy to handle.

Compliance and security policy setup comes with the tool itself. Co-management allows us to have a single platform to handle different devices such as domain-joined endpoints.

We need more granular level control on on-premise resources management. If we have more control on device-level configuration policy setup, it would be beneficial. Since the devices are configured over the Internet, whatever policy we apply from the compliance portal does not reflect immediately on the endpoint. The Azure AD joined endpoints take considerable time to see the policy. We need to implement some controls immediately, but it takes time to sync the endpoints and get the policy applied. That is one of the concerns. 

I have been using Microsoft Intune for the past four years.

It is stable. We do face challenges from the downtime, but it is manageable with the support service agreement. 

Microsoft Intune scales with the growing needs of my organization.

We do get support, but we struggle in conveying the issues to the right support team to address our concerns.

Positive

Before Microsoft Intune, we did not use another solution. This is the only solution we have used for Windows. Since we are using Windows devices, it makes sense for us to use Microsoft Intune to manage our Windows devices and control and apply the baseline policies set by the organization.

I participated in the deployment of Microsoft Intune. We didn't have any challenges.

We manage our MDM devices through our top direct configuration, which is the only option we have with our environment for managing all Windows MDM devices through Microsoft Intune.

Every module has a different pricing model based on the license and the options we choose. The controls are available, but the pricing varies for each module. If you want to have complete control, you have to spend more on Microsoft Intune with different licensing modules.

I have not explored any alternate solutions so far.

I am using Microsoft Copilot in Microsoft Intune along with other office products such as Teams and email. I have not used Copilot in Intune, but it can be leveraged for technology-related troubleshooting.

We have endpoint protection with EDR solution and detection and prevention. We are utilizing the Microsoft E5 license. 

I would rate Microsoft Intune an eight out of ten.

We use Microsoft Intune to manage all devices, including Windows devices, Android, and iOS. We have fully managed Android devices or dedicated Android devices, and RealWear glasses. 

Everything that we used to do with Microsoft System Center as an on-premise solution, we migrated to a cloud solution with Microsoft Intune. We are using Autopilot for device management, and for iOS, we use the ABM to include our devices in Microsoft Intune. We are using Microsoft Intune as our standard solution for managing devices.

We utilize Microsoft Copilot in Microsoft Intune and use autopilot to provide user flexibility in device provisioning without requiring IT team involvement. Users can install needed applications from the Company Portal independently. Our machine distributors perform pre-provisioning at the factory, which expedites the process for users.

Microsoft Intune effectively secures hybrid work environments. For data protection, we implement BitLocker.

Microsoft Intune has impacted IT productivity in our organization. The physical team has mixed feelings because they traditionally handled device provisioning, and now fewer people are needed for this task. However, enabling users to perform tasks independently without IT team intervention has improved overall productivity.

Microsoft Intune saves us time, though I cannot provide exact metrics since I don't track this specifically. It is more efficient to have one solution rather than having security parts spread across three, four, or five solutions. 

The user experience with Microsoft Intune is excellent because we can manage users and maintain security and policies anywhere they are. If users have a problem, they can factory reset and start the provisioning again without needing to return to the office. This provides flexibility and improves the experience for users.

The reporting functionality of Microsoft Intune is limited compared to Microsoft System Center, which offers many more reporting options. We also encounter some information inaccuracies that require verification using PowerShell scripts and other tools. We maintain close communication with Microsoft through our support contract and consistently provide feedback to improve the solution.

I have used Microsoft Intune since the beginning of the pandemic in 2020. It has been five years.

We would rate Microsoft's support an eight out of ten.

Positive

While I don't have access to high-level financial information, I believe we have achieved lower costs with this implementation.

We migrated some devices from Soti MobiControl to Microsoft Intune. My manager has requested a comparison between these two tools. We currently use Microsoft Intune and plan to discontinue Soti Mobicontrol use, but we are conducting a final comparative analysis before making this transition.

Overall, I would rate Microsoft Intune as eight out of ten. While I greatly appreciate the solution, some information inconsistencies and issues still need to be addressed by Microsoft.

My use cases for Microsoft Intune are to secure our mobile license and our platform.

What I appreciate the most about Microsoft Intune is that it's quick and easy to use from an authenticator perspective. There is simplicity in securing our platform. Microsoft Intune benefits my company because of its simplicity of use and cross-functional integration.

The user experience of Microsoft Intune is good because of its cross-functionality and simplicity of use.

Automatic updating is pretty rough. It doesn't give me as much control as I had in the past. With no ability to control release cycles, it's been more difficult for major IT organizations. They can give comfort to those who are using the utilities with predictability on when new releases are coming. There should be more predictability in the release cycle.

We don't feel we have any control over when new updates come out, and whether there are changes to the backend functionality or to the user interface. Updates just happen. When updates are visible to end users, organizations get the call, not Microsoft. Since we don't have a good amount of communication about when those come out or what the new features are before they're deployed, we're caught flat-footed. We have to get to our reps to see what the updates were. A much more proactive communication cycle, aside from just putting it out on Twitter, would be fantastic.

They can continue to improve security. Factoring in all the compatibility pieces and security components, there's more improvement to be done outside of Microsoft-specific products themselves. There are multiple operating systems out there. It has gotten better in the last couple of years. However, the reason that RSA and this big conference exist is that we need to have some cybersecurity capabilities above and beyond the standard that comes with the operating system, so an industry has formed around it, and with that, we can get more focused on that part of the product specifically.

I have been using Microsoft Intune for approximately six years.

The reliability and stability of the Microsoft Intune platform are pretty good. I can't say the same thing about Teams, but Microsoft Intune is really good.

Microsoft Intune scales absolutely with the growing needs of my company. When scaling, it's great.

The technical support for Microsoft Intune is really good. I would rate them a ten out of ten.

Positive

We migrated from a mobile and endpoint solution to Microsoft Intune.

Deployment of Microsoft Intune was pretty straightforward and easy.

The biggest return on investment when using Microsoft Intune for me is inter-compatibility with everybody.

It's a bit expensive from a licensing perspective, especially as we look to have organizations with tenants across the globe. Whether in multiple commercial environments or as a clear defense contractor, there are times when we have multiple different user accounts, and we have to pay per seat. It would be great in the future if we were able to automatically associate those types of things within the licensing model.

Before choosing Microsoft Intune, we considered other solutions about six years ago.

I would rate Microsoft Intune overall a seven out of ten. They could continue to improve on the security aspects. 

A subset of our staff works remotely. We ship laptops directly to them from our vendor, and they complete the setup process using Microsoft Intune. This process has been working seamlessly.

Microsoft Intune has been a time saver and reduces the time and effort IT admins have to invest.

The user experience with Intune has generally improved since the retirement of the old Silverlight-based legacy portal.

Microsoft Intune's Autopilot has been nice to have. It provides a cloud deployment process where we don't even have to touch the equipment—it arrives provisioned and ready to go.

Historically, Group Policy has simplified the management of various items, such as printer and drive mappings and while Intune offers workarounds, it lacks native support for these functionalities. This is an area I believe needs improvement.

I have been using Microsoft Intune for about five years.

It is nice that we don't have to manage any local on-prem servers. Intune just runs itself.

It's nice that we can provision a bunch of equipment almost immediately without any hands-on involvement.

Microsoft support has significantly improved since we obtained the Enterprise Agreement. Previously, the support we received was not as satisfactory.

Neutral

We previously used SCCM to manage our devices but switched to Microsoft Intune to simplify cloud management when we transitioned to a remote workforce during the pandemic. We are pleased with the transition to Intune.

The initial deployment went smoothly thanks to our Microsoft Enterprise Agreement, which provided access to support and Software Assurance Training hours. The documentation was clear, concise, and easy to implement.

We implemented Microsoft Intune in-house.

Microsoft Intune's Autopatch feature has significantly reduced the time and effort required by IT administrators, resulting in a positive return on investment by streamlining patching processes and increasing efficiency.

Intune is included with our F3 and E5 licenses. However, some suite features should be accessible without additional cost, a sentiment widely echoed online.

We evaluated several solutions, including ManageEngine and Meraki, before ultimately selecting Intune, which was conveniently included in our existing licensing agreement.

There were some aspects that were easier in some of the competitive solutions, but we would have had to pay extra. It wasn't included, so we decided to go with Intune. And overall, as the years progressed, Intune improved some of that functionality.

I would rate Microsoft Intune an eight out of ten for scalability.

I used troubleshooting steps while working on enrollment, deployment, and policy configuration regarding Microsoft Intune.

The best features of Microsoft Intune include continuous implementation of new capabilities each year, covering almost everything. They recently added Linux operating system enrollment. Multiple options have been streamlined. Previously, configurations were split between Endpoint Security and configuration settings. Microsoft Intune has now merged these into unified configuration settings.

Microsoft Intune continues to implement numerous improvements. It effectively secures data and manages organizational devices.

Based on my experience with Microsoft Intune, most features are already implemented. However, Autopilot enrollment is not available for Mac devices yet, which would be a great addition if implemented.

Instead of using Win32 apps, having direct application support for MSI store and LOB apps would be beneficial. Currently, converting applications to Win32 format adds an extra layer of complexity. When problems occur with Win32 applications, it requires involvement from the application team. Having direct application support would simplify the deployment process.

I have used Microsoft Intune for almost three years.

We experienced downtime, but it originated from organizational issues rather than the cloud infrastructure of Microsoft Intune.

Microsoft Intune scales effectively with the growing needs of the organization.

The support is excellent for Indian organizations, with multiple levels of support teams. For critical cases, Microsoft engineers become directly involved to assist customers. In my previous role at Concentrix, we had two to three sessions weekly with the Microsoft team.

We had separate sessions for Windows, Android, Mac OS, application deployment, and enrollment. These sessions allowed us to discuss challenging cases and review logs with Microsoft engineers for solutions. When needed, direct engineer support from Microsoft was available.

I did not consider any other solutions before selecting Microsoft Intune.

With nine years of experience in technical terms and Microsoft products, I have compared Microsoft Intune with other MDM solutions such as Jamf, which is also good. SCCM is reportedly being discontinued. Microsoft Intune has high demand in the market, with many organizations purchasing this plan.

I recently joined Capgemini in a project role, transitioning from a support role. Microsoft Intune is a delivery mechanism for applications and configurations. In my technical support role, I handled app protection policy cases and Autopilot cases, troubleshooting various issues based on error messages.

On a scale of 1-10, I rate Microsoft Intune an 8 out of 10.

Our company has consistently used Microsoft products. As the mobile device administrator, I oversaw the transition from Workspace ONE to Microsoft Intune. This decision stemmed from a desire to reduce licensing costs by leveraging existing Microsoft licenses held by all employees, ultimately leading to significant financial savings.

Intune consolidates endpoint and security management tools into a single platform. This centralized approach allows for specialized roles while maintaining a shared understanding of the complete security solution.

Intune's overall user experience is good.

Intune's most valuable feature is its centralized management capability.

The enterprise application management system for mobile devices is effective for app discovery, deployment, and automatic updates. The automatic update feature functions well, eliminating the need for manual updates and individual prompts, which is convenient for both administrators and users.

Intune has made things easier for us because we are using Autopilot to build our laptops.

We've saved a lot of money by moving from Workspace ONE to Microsoft Intune for mobiles.

I've recently started using Microsoft Intune, specifically its mobile device management features. While both Intune and Workspace ONE offer similar functionality, I've noticed that Workspace ONE operates in real-time, whereas Intune has a noticeable delay when deploying policies or apps. The time we have to wait to deploy policies has room for improvement.

People using Intune for Windows deployment, etcetera, can get annoyed because of the Windows updates.

I have been using Microsoft Intune for three months because we've just moved over.

From a mobile perspective, Microsoft Intune has been stable.

From a mobile perspective, Microsoft Intune is easily scalable.

I have contacted technical support only once, and it was very helpful.

Positive

We used VMware Workspace ONE previously. The decision to switch and save on costs was made by the higher-ups.

I would rate Microsoft Intune nine out of ten.

I would definitely recommend Intune to a colleague. It provides a centralized platform for managing various devices, including laptops, desktops, and mobile devices, and seamlessly integrates with other Microsoft solutions like Azure and Active Directory.

We have a team that continuously works on solutions to make workflows smooth, like building laptops and ensuring deployments work smoothly.

Microsoft Intune is deployed across various departments and locations within our local government council. We have different physical sites and departments, and Intune is managed and implemented at the departmental level.

Our team is continuously developing solutions to streamline the laptop production workflow, including assembly, traffic management, and deployment. We also have a separate team dedicated to ensuring the process runs smoothly.
