Featured Reviews

Vikram - PeerSpot reviewer
Really good in terms of content delivery and network bandwidth optimization
Using Adaptiva is really straightforward. Users need to have some end-user computing and networking knowledge to use the solution. The project or implementation team we worked with had good technical knowledge. I really liked the solution's performance. Adaptiva helped us with network bandwidth optimization and content delivery. Overall, I rate the solution eight and a half out of ten.
Joseph Merusi - PeerSpot reviewer
Everything has worked better since we started using it
Sometimes the syncing is inconsistent. I'm confident that the devices are checking in every eight hours, but sometimes the devices aren't picking up the settings as quickly as I would expect. Some features haven't been updated in a while, and Microsoft doesn't seem interested in developing them. Unless you talk to an engineer, you don't know whether there will be an update. There are communication issues, so you might start working with a feature without knowing if it will be deprecated six months from now. Some reporting areas still need development. For example, I noticed that the reporting for driver updates is still confusing.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Adaptiva is really good in terms of content delivery and network bandwidth optimization."
"If I assess Intune's user experience, I would say it is perfect and simple."
"The technical support of Microsoft Intune is good."
"I like how Intune deploys the policies and makes them customizable. You can deploy it through Intune and forget about it."
"Compliance and the policies that can be set are the most valuable features."
"The ability to send configurations to our systems is valuable, particularly as we don't have a regular Windows AD server. Our current environment doesn't have a Windows AD, which limits our ability to push GPOs. However, this is where the solution can step in and help us push policies."
"The most valuable feature for us is the security, including risk analysis and patch management."
"The solution is easy to use."
"Intune's most valuable features are its device management capabilities, particularly its centralized integration with other Microsoft stack components."
 

Cons

"It would be good if Adaptiva had everything on the cloud rather than having one server on-premises."
"Intune should be much more granular in terms of supporting more Android cellular devices."
"Enhancements for managing MacOS more comprehensively would be beneficial."
"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."
"It would be awesome if Microsoft opened their API so we could filter more properties. If we have to do anything outside of Intune that requires a third-party solution to talk back to it, we're very limited in what we can do. Trust your people. We promise not to break your stuff. Open it up just a tiny bit wider."
"Microsoft Intune could improve by being more user-friendly and having it geared toward device management. The graphic interface is not very good."
"Due to the abundance of features, there's a lot to organize, which makes managing and setting up the solution challenging. The setup is immense, and it would be good to see improvement in this area."
"I'd like some more reporting so that I don't have to delve into PowerShell and I can pull more of the local device information such as memory, apps installed, etc. It would be nice to be able to see the apps that are present there but might not be managed. For example, if they installed 7Zip, it could report that back via an installed program or feature to see what was currently installed."
"Intune could be enhanced by automating application upgrades, similar to how it automates operating system upgrades."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"There is a license required to use this solution. However, it was part of a bundle package. Microsoft Intune is far less expensive than other solutions, such as Workspace ONE."
"Microsoft Intune's pricing is reasonable."
"With our standard E5 agreement with Microsoft, there have been no pricing concerns. Introductory professional services, like a fast-track service, were included with our E5 membership, and there have been no additional costs."
"We use Defender ATP and E5 licenses."
"The pricing is inherently reasonable, as Microsoft leverages market insights to maintain the total cost of ownership at around ninety to ninety-five percent of what would be incurred in an on-premise scenario."
"Even if they charge a premium, they aim to provide equal value."
"Intune's pricing is reasonable considering its benefits and the high costs it helps avoid."
"The pricing for Intune and the competitor products are all within the same range, there is no true advantage when it comes to cost."
