An affordable solution to control BlackBerry applications but has latency issues
The solution is complicated for new users. There are a lot of buttons on the first page. It can be very confusing if you’re not aware of the terms they use. For example, a button labelled ‘edit device’ doesn't explain exactly what it does or how to use it. Setup is difficult, time-consuming, and a lot of procedures are involved. There are latency issues on the application.
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

"The solution has a lot of features, such as adding different applications and devices to one platform. This allowed us to manage many devices and applications from a single platform."
"I haven't used other mobile device management solutions, but compared to SCCM, we eliminate a lot of on-premises infrastructure and maintenance by using Intune."
"I would rate the stability of Microsoft Intune nine out of ten."
"The solution is fully integrated with the Microsoft platform and the Autopilot feature, which is a unique feature."
"Intune significantly simplifies application deployment, mobile application management, and policy enforcement, such as restricting user access to specific applications, thereby enhancing overall environment security."
"It works well if you have a Microsoft environment."
"Conditional access has helped us tailor and enforce our security policies in the mobile space."
"Autopilot is the most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is its scalability."
 

Cons

"The solution is complicated for new users. There are a lot of buttons on the first page. It can be very confusing if you’re not aware of the terms they use. For example, a button labelled ‘edit device’ doesn't explain exactly what it does or how to use it."
"One issue that Inutune can improve is password integration with the BitLocker key option. Another issue is assigning licenses. We can assign the licenses for some users on the BPM side, and our BPS users work on Outlook 365 but cannot access it there. A BPS person can go to the company portal and download Outlook 2016. They could improve the NDIS part to assign a license directly to the BPS person that allows them to install the Intune device manager directly on our system."
"It would be interesting to integrate the server side of Intune. Some group policy updates we have on the Windows Server side and possibly some on the client side could also be included."
"Microsoft Intune could improve by being more user-friendly and having it geared toward device management. The graphic interface is not very good."
"I want more secure, reliable, and efficient security policies."
"Sometimes, the process is unsuccessful when we attempt to reset a device and wipe the data using Intune."
"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."
"A major challenge is making all the products work within device management solutions like Intune. It would be beneficial if Microsoft removed support for older products much earlier in the process."
"Improvements can be made by allowing server integrations since it is an area where the product currently has shortcomings."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We work in the charity sector, so a lot of our clients get Microsoft Premium licenses or Business Premium for free. They get ten licenses free, and a lot of our clients do not have more than ten staff members. They are getting the tool for free, so its cost is not an issue."
"The price is very reasonable."
"Its pricing seems reasonable."
"The pricing for Intune and the competitor products are all within the same range, there is no true advantage when it comes to cost."
"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."
"Every customer used to purchase licenses based on their needs."
"Generally, we get favorable discounts, so it's not too bad. Obviously, we're looking at decreasing those wherever we can to bring value back to the public purse because it's all charity based. It's all publicly funded."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis."
