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."I can easily configure it."
"Azure's cost-effectiveness is its major advantage."
"The feature that I have found the most valuable is the control over the network permissions and the network."
"Microsoft's technical support is very good. They're quite knowledgable and responsive."
"The solution is stable."
"The initial setup is straightforward; Azure Firewall does not have a complex implementation process. It is very simple; you just need to enable the service within Azure. It does not require any maintenance because it is managed by Microsoft, that is, it is a fully managed service."
"Azure Firewall's feature that I have found most valuable is its scalability."
"The solution is very stable. When comparing it to other environments, it's actually quite impressive."
"One of the biggest advantages of Microsoft Intune is that it brings the management of Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and even Linux under a single pane of glass."
"The solution is easy to use and it has good performance."
"We can securely manage both company-owned devices and personal devices enrolled in our BYOD program."
"Its direct integration with all the other products that we have from Microsoft is valuable. We're using the E5 license, and we have a whole wealth of different products available. It just makes it easier to have everything from one provider."
"The biggest benefits of Intune are the ability to push changes and the added security. When we moved forward with Defender, we onboarded all those machines automatically. That helps dramatically. For a while, we were left with machines that weren't protected. We could see where people had done things they shouldn't have done, and Defender saved our skins a few times. It didn't happen a lot, but it happened enough that it made us glad we made that decision."
"The tool's most valuable feature is Autopilot."
"While Microsoft Intune boasts a wide range of features, its user-friendliness and bundled licensing cost are key considerations for me."
"The key benefit of Intune is its integration with the Microsoft ecosystem."
"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."
"The threat intelligence aspect of this particular firewall is not at par with other providers."
"There should be better monitoring and logging. Currently, it is put in Sentinel. It should be more seamless and from the interface."
"There is room for further integration of AI into the system."
"The reporting, logging, and monitoring features, as well as the flexibility of the policies, need to be improved."
"It would be much easier if the on-premises, firewall rules, had some kind of export-import possibility in place, which is not the case right now."
"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."
"It's a little heavy compared to a FortiGate or other firewalls."
"For an existing customer who has an SCCM, it would need to be upgraded to an MECM first before I can introduce Microsoft Intune."
"The solution can have some compliance problems in general and the end-point user can bypass easily the company policies in Intune."
"Intune's areas for improvement revolve around security and certificate management."
"In the next release, I would like a feature to be able to properly lock down the device. For example, if an attacker or somebody steals the phone, you can be sure that the pin cannot be broken."
"Intune should be much more granular in terms of supporting more Android cellular devices."
"Intune's third-party patch management could be better. It should be easier for the average system admin to keep non-Microsoft applications updated."
"It would help if administrators could pinpoint the exact location of a stolen device to help law enforcement retrieve it and apprehend the suspect."
"Microsoft Intune fails a lot when it comes to device compliance."
