Microsoft Intune Reviews

We use Microsoft Intune for our mobile devices, including tablets and mobiles, across both iOS and Android. Our intention is to eventually use Intune to manage our laptop estate as well.

The integration into Azure stack and M365 stack is highly powerful. Additionally, no longer having to pay for a third-party MDM solution is a significant benefit. We also appreciate the conditional access rules and the basic Azure/M365 security scoring, which offer centralized control and the ability to manage policies from one point.

I would like more clarity on how Intune is migrating control from Active Directory group policies, especially as we move over to Windows 11. It seems inefficient to manage some settings in Active Directory and others in Intune.

I have used the solution for approximately just under two years.

I would rate the stability of Intune as a 10. We have not experienced downtime, bugs, or glitches. The only issues we encountered were during the initial setup.

I would rate the scalability of Intune as a 10. You can scale as much as needed based on the size of your tenants.

We use a third party for support instead of Microsoft directly. Our value-added reseller, who specializes in Intune, is excellent, and I rate them as a 10.

We previously used BlackBerry UEM. We switched to Microsoft Intune to bring our system under Microsoft and achieve more seamless integration. The cost is included in our licensing, eliminating the need for separate servers and complex configurations.

I have been in the IT field for 30 years, and the initial setup made me scratch my head, so we brought in a third party to help. The deployment stretched over several weeks.

We engaged a third party to help with the implementation.

Financially, we saved four to £5,000 a year on MDM licensing after switching from BlackBerry. The one-touch commissioning has also saved significant time by simplifying device configuration and maintenance.

We saved on licensing costs as Microsoft Intune is included in our existing licensing deal.

BlackBerry UEM

I recommend Intune but only once your M365 configuration is established to support it and after completing your Exchange Online migration. I rate the overall solution as a 10.

Microsoft Intune is used for technical support. We handle client cases and help in the resolution of cases from post-commercial support. We have not yet moved to premium cases, but we provide technical support for any issues with Microsoft Intune.

Microsoft Intune has broad capabilities, particularly with mobile device management. The management features are excellent, especially the ability to push configuration policies to all devices across the company and manage them effectively. The configuration capabilities are strong, and the compliance features are also really good.

The application management is a valuable feature because it makes the process easier by centralizing applications in one place, which contains most of the things needed when configuring or deploying applications. This is a really good feature to use in Microsoft Intune.

The admin portal for Microsoft Intune is not yet on the same level as other Microsoft 365 admin portals when comparing the interface and user-friendliness. The admin portal is something that still needs improvement, though I believe it will be updated in the future.

The admin portal has not yet been updated to the level of other admin portals such as Entra, Microsoft 365 admin portal, and compliance portals. It is usable and can be used, but it is not as user-friendly as those other admin portals when compared side by side.

I have been working with Microsoft Intune for about two months, starting in December, and I am now in my third month as the product ready trainer for Microsoft Intune here in Rwanda. It has not been that long, but because it is a new technology we are supporting, the experience has been valuable.

During the time I have been using Microsoft Intune, there have not been many issues. There have been no service incidents, no total shutdowns, and no lagging that I have observed. However, because we interact with customers and support them with Microsoft Intune cases, there have been some complaints from customers. Sometimes there is lagging, policies are not being pushed, or the eight hours of synchronization have passed without anything happening. For myself personally, I have not had any lags or downtime with Microsoft Intune as a product.

Microsoft Intune is really scalable because it is broad and has many things and dedicators for various functions. The scalability is really good.

There is a partnership since we support Microsoft cases. We deal with technical support for Microsoft coming from Microsoft Intune to other lines of business, so there is a partnership in place.

Positive

I have only used Microsoft Intune.

The initial setup is easy. It took me around thirty minutes, and the whole process was seamless because following the steps was straightforward. I would not classify it as difficult—it was easy.

It is better to implement with a team due to the different efforts involved, but a single person can also complete the deployment. However, it is preferable to have a team.

Microsoft Intune provides a good return on investment.

The prices are good. The licenses are good, and since Microsoft Intune is mostly embedded in other licenses such as E5s, the pricing is customer-friendly. I cannot compare it to other licenses, but I think the pricing is really good.

There are alternate solutions, but not many. When talking about certificate handling, we do set up or support customers with certifications, but mostly this is done by a different support team, the on-premises team. I have not interacted very well with Cloud PKI because it is dealt with by a different team, mostly the security and compliance team. I do not have much experience with it, but I have interacted with it here and there.

I have been a product ready trainer for Microsoft Intune for two months, but in the field of Microsoft technical support, I have been doing this for two years.

I have seen the CoPilot feature in Microsoft Intune, but I have not interacted with it much because the licensing we are using at the moment does not provide access to CoPilot. We do not have that access, and because it is also a feature in preview, we have not really interacted much with CoPilot in Microsoft Intune. However, I have interacted with CoPilot in other admin centers, and it is good.

We use the feature, and it has been beneficial.

With Microsoft Intune, you must always check the policies to ensure they are interacting with the devices. You must keep checking the compliance of the devices and the health of the devices. This is something you keep checking regularly, so you must always be looking after these things in Microsoft Intune. It really does require ongoing maintenance.

Organizations can implement Microsoft Intune successfully. My review rating for Microsoft Intune is seven point five.

My use case for Microsoft Intune involves working in the breaking fixed line.  I receive tickets when customers encounter errors or have doubts about the tool. I can explain the tool to clients, or I'll analyze the error. For example, if someone tries to use BitLocker but their device doesn't encrypt, I start my analysis of the policy the client created and try to fix the error.

The best features of Microsoft Intune are Windows Update rings. This is superior because you can schedule updates for quality, security, or OS system updates. It is beneficial because we can schedule work hours or after work hours to implement the updates. It helps me better understand client issues and increase my response time to deliver solutions to problems.

The areas that have room for improvement in Microsoft Intune include the Autopilot process. The ESP profile could be easier to use as many clients complain about it because if we don't deploy the ESP, the Autopilot doesn't work properly. These two configurations should be together when you create the Autopilot profile rather than separated.

Another tool that needs modifications is script deployments. When trying to deliver PowerShell scripts in the organization to apply wallpapers, it's very complicated to see if they return errors or how they show in the devices. Changing that would help significantly.

I have used Microsoft Intune for a year and three months. I have been working for three years in the Microsoft line support. Before Microsoft Intune, I was the Exchange engineer from the support line too.

I have experienced downtime, bugs, and glitches. I rate it a seven because when we have bugs or instability in Microsoft Intune, we need to wait for the backend from Microsoft Intune to resolve issues and we can't deliver solutions to clients because we need to wait for action plans and related processes.

In my organization, I am the only one who works with Microsoft Intune. When I need to use my environment to test, I create approximately 20 users and start to deploy. In my role, I receive tickets from organizations that have thousands of devices requiring issue resolution in Microsoft Intune.

From one to ten, I would rate the technical support at a 10.

I cannot compare Microsoft Intune with other solutions or vendors on the market because the only time I saw Microsoft Intune work with another solution was when I received a ticket about Mac OS where the organization used MDM Jamf to manage devices and started using Microsoft Intune. They tried to migrate to Microsoft Intune. This is the only collaboration I have seen between Jamf and Microsoft Intune.

Microsoft Intune saves eight hours per day. During my work hours, I use my time to study and run tests on configurations I'm curious about and try them out in my environment.

The pricing for Microsoft Intune is very reasonable because organizations can pay without complaints. Microsoft Intune isn't sold standalone only. Organizations can buy Microsoft 365 Business Premium, which includes Microsoft Intune with the license. It's a reasonable price to use Microsoft Intune.

I recommend Microsoft Intune to other users because it's a great tool to manage the environment. You can use it on one machine to deliver it to others. When you enroll these devices, the IT professional's life becomes easier to manage these machines because we can do everything remotely. I would rate Microsoft Intune overall as a nine out of ten.

In my career, I have used Microsoft Intune for about four or five months during my internship at my previous company, which is a global organization where I learned about Microsoft Intune and Entra Admin. I was using the cloud-based system all of the time. I am knowledgeable about many aspects and can manage requirements as needed, including device management and application management. I can handle whatever part of the premises needs to be taken care of.

What I appreciate most about Microsoft Intune is that we can manage multiple devices simultaneously in a single frame of time. I can manage everything remotely from anywhere. There are policies I can implement for compliance on several things, such as for sales teams, finance management teams, or tech teams. I can focus on the segment where I'm implementing policies or accessibility and manage it very quickly. Microsoft Intune brings all our endpoint and security management tools into one place, and we can minimize the endpoint and security management aspects. The security doesn't need further development as it already has multi-factor authentication options. If we want to add another option, we can mail a QR code; if the organization has that QR code, any employee can access it similar to multi-factor authentication. By using Microsoft Intune, we can protect our system through security checks, allowing us to define which party can access our system from remote locations. There are various applications being utilized for remote functions, and with our firewall in place, we don't need to worry about security.

The downside of Microsoft Intune is that in a fast-moving world, most people are using AWS or Azure. Specifically, cloud-based technologies nowadays manage this stuff automatically after deployments, particularly for application purposes. For application and device management, I suggest combining them in a mode where managing both things could have shortcuts throughout the system. For instance, when applying anything to a tech team, it should automatically apply to their applications on phones as well. There should be a system already designed, and as a developer, I believe I can design that type of framework.

I have used Microsoft Intune for about four or five months.

I have faced stability issues with Microsoft Intune plenty of times, but I think it's part of the process. It functions adequately sometimes; nothing is 100% perfect.

The scalability of Microsoft Intune is quite good; it won't affect the work environment or struggle with multiple PCs. For large-scale use, there might be timing issues during installations or setups, which requires more time.

I have contacted technical support many times, and they respond quite accessibly, making it easy to reach out to them.

It takes around 45 minutes to set it up for me.

Microsoft Intune doesn't require any maintenance; the only cost involved is paying for the package on a yearly or monthly basis.

I haven't tried using any alternatives to Microsoft Intune. There is a system with Google that has its endpoint system, but I haven't used it. Most people around me are using Microsoft.

On a scale of one to ten, I would give Microsoft Intune a rating of eight out of ten.

We use Microsoft Intune to manage mobile phone devices and laptops to ensure they are synchronized with the company. They are not used for tracking or third-party software, and they comply with company regulations. If devices get tampered with, lost, or stolen, we can track them. The devices are registered to our systems, so if anyone forgets their user IDs or passwords, we can resolve that using the authenticator. We use the Cloud PKI, which is straightforward and easy to learn. Everything is documented, and a self-starter can learn it. It is not highly technical. It requires being comfortable with Microsoft Windows knowledge and knowing how to use a desktop and commands. Someone with basic knowledge can pick it up easily.

We use the Copilot integration in Microsoft Intune which helps protect our environment. We are using the Enterprise Application Management features of Microsoft Intune. These features have improved our abilities in app discovery, deployment, and automatic updating. The Advanced Endpoint Analytics in Microsoft Intune has improved and helps us proactively detect and remediate anomalies in endpoints.

Everything about Microsoft Intune is something that I value the most. It is something that I use for employees, whether for new starters or anyone who makes a request. It is a requirement and a need, and it works great. So far, there have not been any issues. It performs very well.

The documentation and authentication could be improved. Sometimes, there can be issues where you have to restart multiple times. There have been instances where enrolling devices should take 10 minutes but ends up taking an hour due to various issues. Performance is something that needs to be worked on.

I have been using Microsoft Intune for around a year in my career, not necessarily in this job, but overall.

Sometimes there has been instability such as crashing and downtime. This happens as part of business operations.

The scalability of Microsoft Intune can be good at times and off at others, so it falls somewhere in between.

I have not had to contact their support.

Neutral

My initial introduction to Microsoft Intune was straightforward because everything was written and documented, so it was simply a matter of following their instructions.

We have used an application called Pyrus as an alternative. That is software our company purchased, and it actually helps.

I followed the documentation from my colleagues and have used some documentation from Microsoft. The Microsoft documentation is adequate. I do not know the pricing of Microsoft Intune, as that is not something I manage. When I joined my current company, Microsoft Intune was already in place, so my role was to enroll new devices and distribute them to new people.

On a scale of 1-10, I rate Microsoft Intune a 7.

We deploy Microsoft Intune for clients and give them support for 

The main use cases for Microsoft Intune among our customers currently include migrating a client that was initially with Dell; they were using a Citrix solution along with other solutions. We migrated all the infrastructure on Azure, and they have almost 400 to 500 users. We have registered users' laptops and desktops with Microsoft Intune. I integrated them with Entra ID and Active Directory authentication. We are providing them support with managing all the devices, including their laptops, mobiles, and PCs with Microsoft Intune, along with all the policies and other configurations.

The most useful features of Microsoft Intune for our customers include centralized management; administrators can access all device reports, which devices are expiring MFA, which are not using MFA, device details, and other important information. All details about users and devices can be accessed through a centralized portal and dashboard. That is the main feature.

Regarding user experience, Microsoft Intune is very user-friendly. We need to register the device with Microsoft Intune through the Company Portal. When it's registered with the email, it comes to the management console on Microsoft Intune. We can manage all the devices from the portal, and users are very satisfied with no issues. They only require assistance with daily routine tasks, but otherwise, everything runs smoothly.

It’s already a strong application and management tool, and the team is continuously improving it. Everything is progressing smoothly, and our policy allows for certain configurations to be made easily.

There could be some improvements regarding additional features and integrations in Microsoft Intune. Microsoft Intune works with Entra ID. If there is an option for a client with 100 PCs or laptops that are not on the Entra ID domain, it would be good. It should work without a domain. Microsoft Intune works with the Entra ID domain, with the domain ID, with the email ID. There could be some kind of feature that supports a workgroup environment or a separate environment without the Entra ID.

I've been working with Microsoft Intune for five years.

Our customers have not faced any issues with the stability of Microsoft Intune; it's very stable. When they change devices such as laptops and mobiles, we need to register again and remove from the portal, their MFA, and other configurations. Otherwise, it is fine with no significant issues. It's very reliable and scalable.

In terms of scalability, Microsoft Intune performs exceptionally well. This solution is scalable. 

As technical professionals, we rarely need support. We handle issues ourselves, but whenever there's a need, we raise a ticket with Microsoft to get issues resolved and convey solutions to the client. If we have solved the issue through the Microsoft portal, we raise a ticket and provide the input from Microsoft to the client regarding what the issue was.

Positive

Our customers evaluated other tools before working with Microsoft Intune, as they migrated from ManageEngine and other management devices to Microsoft Intune. They saw advantages that led them to choose Microsoft Intune and Entra ID, so they migrated all the infrastructure and found it better than other management tools.

For tech-savvy individuals, the process is straightforward. You simply need someone with technical expertise to handle the portal, making device registration easy. There’s nothing complicated about it. 

Microsoft Intune is not too expensive; it is bearable for the clients and fits in their budget.

I would recommend Microsoft Intune to others. It is a very good and scalable solution. Every person, client, or company that has infrastructure with more than 100 or 200 devices will find it very easy to manage all their devices, mobiles, laptops, PCs, and network devices from the same dashboard and panel. All the information in the portal and dashboard makes it good for them.

I would rate Microsoft Intune a nine out of ten.

I can describe the use case as working from scratch with the deployment profile, device restrictions, and application deployment since the company is totally on cloud, making it easy to use Microsoft Intune and apply everything needed effectively.

The best feature in Microsoft Intune is zero touch deployment, which allows me to automate many tasks compared to manually installing Windows and applications one by one, making it easier to enroll devices with Autopilot and pre-deploy applications. There are also self-assessments based on location and risk that improve conditional access and endpoint security. Moreover, I can utilize compliance policies and configuration profiles effectively by clearly defining what I need, testing them on a few devices, and then implementing them across the board, contributing to a smooth experience.

I assess the overall user experience as a mix. Specifically, for the Windows platform, it is totally fine and very easy to handle using features such as Autopilot, zero touch deployment, and IT management, allowing users to onboard smoothly in Microsoft Intune with pre-applications installed through Autopilot. However, for non-Windows platforms, there are many areas that still need improvement, such as on macOS. For Windows, it works well with compliance policies, conditional policies, and integration with multiple platforms such as Azure AD and Windows Defender.

Areas with room for improvement in Microsoft Intune include the policy sync process; reducing the time it takes for changes to be applied would help facilitate testing. Faster feedback on whether policies fail or pass would minimize wasted time while also improving the handling of Windows 32 application failures, which often depend on manual intervention to diagnose and initiate processes again.

I have been using Microsoft Intune for the last four to five years.

Prior to using Microsoft Intune, I experienced a hybrid model, and the switch to a cloud-only solution enhances manageability due to ease of backing up processes. Using Microsoft Intune or similar cloud-based tools simplifies management significantly compared to hybrid methods.

My thoughts on the pricing for Microsoft Intune are that while it might seem costly for a single service, if an organization operates completely on the cloud without a hybrid model, it is quite reasonable. The integration with other Microsoft services such as Entra ID and Defender adds substantial value and features, making the cost manageable.

On a scale of one to ten, with one being cheap and ten being expensive, I would place Microsoft Intune at a 7.5.

Comparing Microsoft Intune with other solutions, I find it excels for Windows management, but for non-Windows systems such as macOS or Linux, there is substantial room for improvement. Other tools, such as Addigy and Kandji, have made strides in enhancing macOS management; they apply policies immediately upon clicking, something Microsoft Intune struggles with.

I have not initiated the use of Copilot in Microsoft Intune yet, but I am testing it; it has not been deployed to everyone. My experience has been that manually performing tasks may take more time, but having an AI tool to prompt actions can save time, and so far, testing Copilot has been good.

The deployment process in Microsoft Intune is a mix; for normal applications that do not require custom versions, it can be complex. Issues such as Windows 32 app failures occur frequently, and detailed manual detection rules are often necessary. I find that deployment failures require extensive troubleshooting, as I must dig through Microsoft Intune logs, refresh and sometimes start over with the same devices.

The deployment in our environment is primarily cloud and on-premises; however, we are not using a hybrid model. I am using about four hundred physical laptops in total, and while some devices are purchased directly from OEMs with hardware already deployed and onboarded smoothly, I am still working on onboarding other devices which are not yet on Autopilot individually.

Our organization currently has more than four hundred fifty users working with Microsoft Intune. The scenario is predominantly a mix of devices, with ninety percent being Windows, while the remaining are macOS. I have previously mentioned that our work with macOS is limited as I continue to test its capabilities; the policy syncing and application management are not as smooth as one would expect compared to third-party systems.

The solution does require maintenance; I use update rings with Windows for feature and normal updates, which are relatively easy. I create policies for updates that I test on a limited number of devices in IT; once I confirm that the policies have been successfully applied, I then roll them out to broader groups. There are instances where some systems fail to update, which requires troubleshooting and running a resync to resolve.

I would rate this review an eight out of ten.

For my clients, I had to perform application management and device management on Android, Windows, and a bit of iOS. My last experience with it was a few months ago.

From my perspective, the best features of Microsoft Intune are that it is straightforward and easy to use, except when dealing with complex issues. Generally, you can quickly achieve good results, and it works well. It simplifies the lives of administrators when using deployment and all the policies that you can employ. Microsoft Intune simplifies the deployment of devices, making it easier than before when people spent more time deploying and mastering devices and phones. Now it is easier, and you have some good features to protect the company's data directly out of the box, which is beneficial.

In the future, I would like to see improvements in Microsoft Intune, especially related to policies and GPU. Something that reduces the need to dig through several menus and helps to find information more easily would be helpful. I also find it complicated for Apple devices since you need an Apple business number to manage them in Microsoft Intune, which requires contacting Apple or the reseller. There are some features that should be added to Microsoft Intune, especially concerning the CCM. Some features you cannot accomplish in Microsoft Intune are arriving each day, so I am not worried about this part. The engine wind process and the Win32 application packaging in Microsoft Intune could be enhanced.

I have been working with Microsoft Intune for several years, though not on a daily basis.

Overall, I assess the stability and reliability of Microsoft Intune as good. I do not remember having difficulties, except for local issues due to firewalls, which are not related to Microsoft Intune. Generally, it works.

Microsoft Intune scales well with the growing needs of organizations, as I have used it in large companies without specific problems.

Prior to adopting Microsoft Intune, I did not use any different solution for similar needs. The company I work for was already using Microsoft Intune, so I did not have to do a market study or check what other solutions could be available.

Regarding deployment, I find it acceptable. Once you have gotten used to it the first time, it may be a bit complex, but once you have done it once, it is fine. You can repeat it afterward, and the learning curve is low, so it is easy to use it and to learn and master it.

Microsoft Intune is cost-effective, providing ROI through the time saved for support teams and people working with computers. The security features that come with it, along with its complete integration with Microsoft, make it efficient.

Regarding pricing, I have no complaints about the price of Microsoft Intune for my customers as it is included in their licenses, and they seem satisfied with that. It is worth the license price.

I would advise other organizations considering Microsoft Intune to take their time and to test thoroughly. You have to be careful with security and device protection, but I have not encountered specific difficulties using Microsoft Intune. I rate this review an 8.
