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.

A central portal where you can add, stack, configure, and maintain your devices

Nearly 35,000 users are connected to Systems from America because their network is configured to cover worldwide areas. I have approximately 450 devices connected, which can scale based on requirements. For instance, if you have around five hundred to six hundred users in one office, the MR14 and MR24 series are suitable. For environments with a larger number of standard device users, the MR24 series is recommended. Cisco Meraki provides various series to meet your requirements, allowing you to manage your users efficiently. I rate the solution's scalability a nine out of ten.

Easy to use and set up with easy mobile access to reports

The initial setup is quite straightforward and simple. It only takes one day to set up. At the time of SAP implementation, it's a part of the portfolio. It's a one-time activity that you have just implemented in your ERP boxes. After that, you have to install a mobile application on Android or iOS, and you can use your user ID and password credentials, and you can access your reports. Once it's installed, you only need one IT person to align things. It doesn't take a big team. They can generate and change reports as necessary. If you need to change certain things, you need an SAP developer. There is no admin team requirement, and you can access it from anywhere.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I am easily able to manage devices and assets, especially laptops and desktops."

"It is user-friendly, and the performance is also good. It is a convenient product"

"Intune simplifies compliance. The ability to manage software updates and policies on endpoints has helped us meet contract requirements."

"I like that we can implement conditional access."

"The initial setup is not complex."

"I have seen a return on investment right from the start of the tool's usage."

"One of the standout features of Intune is its seamless accessibility to work data, eliminating the need to be tied to an office or a desktop."

"I can see that the patch management process is much improved with the bundled patch management option available in Microsoft Intune compared to the KPI deployment required by the other deployment solutions."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"The proprietary standards and modules are the most valuable features."

"It has facilitated zero-touch authorization events for our employees and their devices. Furthermore, Meraki Systems Manager plays a vital role in securing our notebooks."

"It's robust, and we like the device availability, ease of purchase, and supplier stock availability."

"The solution is straightforward to set up."

"We experience no downtime, no breakdowns, all the user readings are exact, and it gives us quick analysis so we can apply security measures."

"The stability of the solution is very good. It's reliable. We don't have crashes or experience freezing. There aren't bugs or glitches."

"The most efficient way is to prepare your integration in the cloud. After that, we can push your configuration from the cloud to the site once you connect the device. This process makes connecting the cloud and the new devices seamless and allows for easy configuration pushing."

"The solution is used for monitoring and configuring access points and BYOD (bring your own device)."

More Cisco Meraki Systems Manager (MDM+EMM) pros

"Everything is available to you from your handset."

Cons

"The reports that are generated aren't so great. They don't give a lot of meaning so far, but that could be down to user knowledge than the actual reporting side of things. I'm not a big user of it, but I was a bigger user of MaaS360, and we used to be able to run weekly and monthly reports. In the case of any deviations. we'd get a warning immediately. That's not so easy to do or to get in place for Intune. This could be just a user issue, but when I compare both, that's the only thing that's lacking for me."

"It just doesn't handle software updates well at all by itself. You need to be a scripting wizard to make those happen properly, or you use third-party tools. The Windows feature updates are very difficult to implement. I would like to see a proprietary built-in remote control tool. I know that they have Team Viewer integrated, but it is not seamless. It would be nice if they had a seamless remote desktop capability directly from the Intune console."

"While no specific feature requires immediate improvement, the ongoing expansion of reporting and inventory capabilities promises to enhance its utility."

"The UI is not user-friendly and has room for improvement."

"They should make it easier to order it, however, that's generally true for everything from Microsoft."

"Applying security recommendations can be difficult in Microsoft Intune. Sometimes, they give you recommendations, but you need a different server to manage the pieces, or you have to go to each device individually. However, it has been improving. Before, there were certain policies you could not implement directly in Intune, but now I see progress. I would like to see more improvement in policy management, similar to how we used group policies on-premises."

"Intune could add more Linux security features and more integration with on-prem devices. The application deployments can also be improved."

"The main disadvantage seen today is regarding Linux clients. We have a lot of development resources that have Linux on their clients, and we can't manage them on the same platform, as we do with other clients such as macOS and Windows. So, it should have support for Linux clients. It should also have better support for macOS."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"It doesn't seem to be able to establish some VPN tunnels with other devices in a particular way that such as an ASA can do for us."

"Because Cisco has improved a lot and is competing with other technologies that are innovative and brand new to the market, the only improvements they have to make are to keep up with the current competition and remain competitive with other solutions."

"The cost of installing this solution can be more expensive depending on who is doing the installation. Cisco is very expensive, and I'd like to see a reduction in cost."

"System's compatibility with Google Chrome could be improved."

"Linux compatibility needs improvement."

"I've participated in numerous product launches primarily focused on HP and Dell. Consequently, there should be a vested interest in local gatherings to showcase product advantages and performance. Particularly in Singapore, it only has so limited integrators to engage in IP product sales. There's room for improvement through dedicated workshops and training. The European and Western markets differ significantly from the context here. The physical location holds more importance. Thus, they should have a survey to evaluate demand, supply, and sales points, tailoring strategies accordingly."

"The solution's integration with other products could be improved."

"The maintenance is average."

More Cisco Meraki Systems Manager (MDM+EMM) cons

"We would like it if SAP could integrate the transactional mode as well so that users can perform transactional jobs by mobile-only."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price for Intune is fair."

"We have the business premium licenses for the solution."

"Intune is cost-effective as it is included in some of the Office 365 packages."

"For Microsoft 365 E5 clients, cost is not an issue as this product is one of the benefits."

"We have a limited budget for security investments, so Microsoft should consider reducing pricing in our region. This would make investment more viable, especially since larger businesses in other countries can afford it easily."

"The Intune license model is costly."

"This cost is approximately $30 USD per user per month."

"Intune is included with our F3 and E5 licenses."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"My customers at times have issues with the price of the solution. It is expensive, but overall it is worth it. The licensing model cost is based on how many devices you require."

"The cost of installing this solution can be more expensive depending on who is doing the installation. Cisco is very expensive."

"It's extremely competitive and very good for a product in this sphere."

"Cisco Meraki Systems Manager is an expensive solution."

"This product is reasonably priced."

"My clients find it a bit expensive compared to other systems."

"The price is high for the market."
