We performed a comparison between Azure Firewall and Microsoft Intune based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Microsoft Security Suite solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."One of the notable advantages of Azure Firewall is its user-friendly interface, which closely resembles or shares similarities with other Azure components."
"The firewall policy control, URL content control, and antivirus are all the most valuable aspects. Threat prevention is as well quite good."
"We use the solution for application and server deployment."
"Azure's cost-effectiveness is its major advantage."
"The most valuable feature is the integration into the overall cloud platform."
"It's helped us improve our security posture."
"The SIEM that Azure Firewall provides us is very robust."
"All its features are good. That's why we recommend it."
"Maturity makes it a stable product."
"It's easy to manage."
"Intune enables us to manage our devices from anywhere."
"In terms of technical support, you will get an immediate response."
"It allows our clients to have the confidence to centrally manage policies for security. It helps them in securing the organization from a technology aspect."
"We are using the mobile feature, and we are also using MDM to lock the devices, to push restrictions, et cetera"
"Conditional access has helped us tailor and enforce our security policies in the mobile space."
"Stable solution at a good price."
"This solution is not mature when it comes to handling perimeter traffic like internet browsing."
"Azure Firewall definitely needs a broader feature base. It should be able to go all the way up to layer 7 when looking at applications and things like that."
"The threat intelligence part could be better. I don't see why our customers have to get an additional solution with Azure Firewall. It would be great if they made it on par with Palo Alto."
"Azure has new versions including a premium firewall. But I would like to see them not put the premium features on Azure Firewall Premium alone because it is quite expensive."
"Azure Firewall should have a free trial version for new users so that they can evaluate it before deploying it."
"For large organizations, a third-party firewall would be an added advantage, because it would have more advanced features, things that are not in Azure Firewall."
"The development area and QA area could be improved. With those improvements, we can improve projects and take even less time to implement them."
"There are a number of things that need to be simplified, but it's mostly costs. It needs to be simplified because it's pretty expensive."
"Intune's reporting and logging could be improved. When troubleshooting, it's difficult to collect the logs and determine what's happening. If I want to filter out the compliant devices, I can see it from the logs, but I would like the option to drill down further."
"I think there should be a better tracking of the cell phones used on the Intune."
"It's the granularity: 'Is your firewall on? Is BitLocker on?' It's not amazing granularity. But I've looked into other products, like Duo, and they're all similar."
"The mobile and tablet-based versions need improvement because they are not completely user-friendly, compared to the web version. Also, data synchronization with our existing asset manager, the synchronization between multiple assets and multiple devices, takes a lot of time due to the security scanning. It should be reduced."
"The policies we had in SCCM and AD offered features that are missing from Microsoft Intune."
"Intune has limited integration with non-Microsoft solutions."
"In terms of what can be improved, I am looking for better enhancements regarding Apple management, not only on the mobile device, but also on the laptop."
"I'd suggest adding more features for macOS in Intune. There should be more functionality for managing macOS. There should be a better capability for pushing things down on macOS. Currently, Intune is not capable of managing macOS at the same level as Windows."
