We can manage all aspects of our devices from a single console, easy to scale, and quick to deploy
Intune has many benefits from the Microsoft perspective. This solution can manage Windows 10 devices, app management, and provide security solutions. We don't need to worry about our network connection, and we'll be more secure with regular security patches and compliance. Since everything will be deployed through the internet and users will log in using the internet only, the risks have been mitigated. Security updates, security patching, and the application will be targeted from Intune. The location tracker will be available to track where the device is and the user's location. The user will be restricted from accessing certain applications using compliance policies. Conditional access policies will be based on the reason why the user needs access to the application. Microsoft Intune is one of the best products in the industry for managing Windows devices. The solution has more feature restrictions. The conditional access policies also eliminate the dependency on the on-prem network for the devices. The solution also manages our security settings and a lot of other beneficial features such as Microsoft Purview which gives us the compliance portion. We can manage all aspects of our device from a single console, including M365 services. This allows us to configure data classification types, such as public, private, internal, confidential, and highly confidential.

Enhanced security and simplicity in deployment for a holistic protection
When you try to access any application, the system needs to verify it is you. Normally, for traditional security, you just need to enter your username and password.  However, with Google Cloud Identity, you can have multilayer security, such as two-step verification or multi-factor authentication…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The aspects I find most valuable are the managing the data and applications. I can also restrict the users to install any applications. I can also wipe the data if the phone was missplaced or stolen. These are the basics for me."
"The ability to switch between Affinity and non-Affinity enrollment is great."
"The synchronization of Intune with other Microsoft solutions is a valuable feature."
"It's easy to manage and easy to configure."
"Fortunately, now everything is streamlined into a single, unified platform."
"I would say the biggest benefit is the single-pane view. There's no jumping around multiple UI's to do your overall management."
"Autopilot is the most valuable feature."
"The solution is easy to use and it has good performance."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"We use the solution primarily to control mobile devices."
"Its dashboards are valuable. It is easy to access dashboards and implement policies."
"The solution's customer support is good."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"This solution is very dynamic. I can do what I need to do with it."
"The tool's most valuable feature is a remote connection to the devices. You can also push and lock applications. It helps us lock devices for professional use to control which applications can be installed."
"Payloads, application publishing, and cataloging features are valuable to our customers."
"The most valuable feature is the performance."
"Cloud Identity is scalable enough for our needs. It's serving more than 3,000 users in our organization."
"I think the first thing that is great is that it gives you a lot of features, like login, and then vaulted passwords and secure LDAP. It becomes easier for the end customer to leverage all those features without going to a higher SKU of G Suite."
"The most valuable feature is that you can manage users from one central location."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"Google is always on its own. Google Cloud Identity is pretty good on every point."
"One of the most useful features was the single sign-on. You can use it as an identity provider or service provider. And you can use their organization unit feature to enable or disable some of the features for a specific group of users."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"There are a couple of issues with stability."
"I think that there is room for improvement with the reporting. If this is done, it will be a better product."
"There is improvement needed in integrating with the installed Office solutions versions, such as Office 2019. The Office 365 integrates without a problem."
"Sometimes, the process is unsuccessful when we attempt to reset a device and wipe the data using Intune."
"Microsoft Intune has a latency response time issue. The latency has room for improvement."
"China blocks Google and Google Play Store, which makes installation challenging. Microsoft Intune is a company software, which has to be installed to the app portal or Microsoft Software Center."
"Sometimes, customers compare it with AirWatch, but the concept of Intune is different from other solutions. It's an application management app. It gets a bit difficult to explain it to customers, but it's not a product limitation. It takes a presale document or presentation to explain it to customers."
"There could be more wizard-driven policy development or creation. Some of the policies can get quite complex. If they have a wizard that assists the administrators in creating the policy, that will be a great job."
"The product is not so convenient to deploy or to configure."
"User creation on Mac must be improved."
"Online information regarding used cases specific to 42Gears SureMDM will help us do configuration changes more comfortably."
"42Gears SureMDM needs to improve support because it may take around one to two days to receive a revert."
"The solution’s pricing could be made cheaper."
"The user interface and customization features are not the best and could be improved."
"As a partner, we consider 42Gears to be a unified endpoint management (UEM) solution. So, we should be able to manage users with this particular solution. This is something that is currently not there. It is probably an area for improvement for 42Gears."
"The dashboards could be improved."
"They are going ahead and adding a few more things to the Google Cloud premium edition. Their stock management and remote computer management can be improved."
"Google Cloud Identity the UI could improve."
"I want the tool to improve its support. It should also incorporate some functionalities. Currently, preparing presentations in Google is a pain point. The tool’s certain features like user provisioning are not intuitive as well. The product’s LDAP support is very poor. Clients do not trust the product due to the spam."
"If you want to set up some alerts, you don't have much control over the configuration. You have to use their default alerts. And they only provide alerts for certain activities, so you cannot customize those. Monitoring isn't very helpful either."
"There is room for improvement in the configuration of their security policies. It seems quite basic."
"If I were to suggest enhancements, it would mainly revolve around ensuring compatibility and maximizing integration options with various services."
"To improve the product, the integration with third-party products could always be smoother."
"Google Cloud Identify could make the technology used easier to understand as a layman making it more user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If you're subscribing to Premium or E3, there are no additional costs for Intune, it's included."
"Microsoft Intune is moderately priced. There is a monthly license required to use the solution and it is approximately eight dollars per month."
"Intune is inexpensive. It also comes bundled in some Office 365 licenses, so you can choose to purchase it separately or as a package."
"There is a license required to use the solution. If you're core users in Office 365, for example, you have Outlook email and E3 license, this is only email. You have to buy an EMS license to have Microsoft Intune. It is expensive."
"The cost is handled through our Office 365 license, so I have yet to be able to compare it directly with other tools in its class."
"I have no comment on pricing of the solution."
"They have categorized the licenses according to the size of the business. So, if it's a smaller organization, we can choose the license accordingly. If it's a big organization, then we can choose accordingly. Everything is clearly mentioned, and we can decide. It's suitable for all kinds of infrastructure, and that's very goo"
"The licensing is on a yearly basis."
"There is an option to make yearly or monthly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. Price-wise, the product is okay."
"42Gears SureMDM is not an expensive solution."
"We pay a yearly licensing fee for 42Gears SureMDM, which is comparatively expensive for an enterprise license."
"I rate the tool's pricing a four out of ten."
"Their pricing structure is very good against the competition. Pricing is definitely not a challenge here."
"The tool is expensive and priced at 39 dollars yearly. The pricing is fixed and I would rate it a seven-point five out of ten."

"The pricing is a bit expensive."
"The solution is not expensive."
"The fees are paid monthly and there are no additional costs other than the licensing fees."
"The product is billed on a monthly basis depending on the number of users."
"When I worked on Cloud Identity, they offered a free or enterprise version. You can synchronize and create up to 100 user identities in the free version. After that, you have to purchase a business or enterprise license. In that model, you'll be charged based on the number of users."
"We probably spend about $50,000 a year on licensing."
