Has the ability to change the way that the client works to a service so that we can get a little bit deeper into the operating system
The ability to change the way that the client works to a service so that we can get a little bit deeper into the operating system, as opposed to just an app running is the most valuable aspect. We also like the unattended sessions. Those are probably the two most important things to us. It's important because we can't do certain things when it is just an application running. We have to have it run as a service with the computer so that we can do certain things and use certain functions. As far as the unattended session is concerned, we're able to connect to people's computers without them actually doing anything. We're able to connect to servers and other systems when there's nobody there.

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.

Pros

"The ability to change the way that the client works to a service so that we can get a little bit deeper into the operating system, as opposed to just an app running is the most valuable aspect. We also like the unattended sessions. Those are probably the two most important things to us. It's important because we can't do certain things when it is just an application running."
"For our clients, the conditional access feature along with different compliance policies that they can set is valuable."
"The main advantage is that Intune performs its intended functions effectively."
"One of the main features of the solution is it allows the management of many devices in different ways."
"Autopilot is a great feature. Most users are looking for a zero-touch deployment."
"It is quite policy-enabled, so you can build pretty much any policy to manage remote endpoints."
"Windows Autopatch is the most valuable because it removes the burden of patch management."
"In terms of technical support, you will get an immediate response."
"The many policies available in Microsoft Intune for managing our devices are valuable."
 

Cons

"If they included some sort of monitoring system for managed services so we can have it all in one package, that would be helpful. There are managed services solutions that allow us to remote into the computers, but a lot of them have too much overhead. Usually, the remote connection is not as simple and as fast and cannot be run as a service."
"While Intune works perfectly well, the only potential downside is that the deployment could be a bit complex for some users."
"It would really be helpful to have the option to manage server operating systems as well, like Windows Server, at least. That way, we could scrap the use of SCCM, which requires a lot of on-premises infrastructure."
"There can be delays in the deployment of new policies."
"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."
"We are facing issues with Apple products. With macOS and iOS, there are some difficulties with the updates because we cannot get full control of Apple products. In the case of Windows, it is fine, but in the case of Apple, we have some difficulties. We cannot control everything through Intune."
"Improvements can be made by allowing server integrations since it is an area where the product currently has shortcomings."
"Manually syncing devices to enforce policies is cumbersome."
"The scalability could be improved, and like most other MDM products, Intune is good but not 100% there yet."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's very inexpensive. The seats are $25 monthly apiece or something. There aren't additional costs that I'm aware of."
"Even if they charge a premium, they aim to provide equal value."
"Intune is available as an individual product, but it also comes with Office 365 Premium or an Enterprise license, and the price varies for each version."
"We are partners, so we receive some discount. However, from the customer's perspective, Microsoft Intune's pricing is competitive with non-Microsoft technology, and the price is good compared to other market competitors."
"Licensing depends on how you are providing support to your enterprise, whether it's device-based or user-based."
"Microsoft Intune is more expensive than other solutions, but it offers a wider range of features and control."
"Previously the price was $4 per month per user. Now it's $2.25 per user per month."
"No one can compete with Microsoft when it comes to price, and the features it is offering."
"In terms of the product price and licensing costs, my company finds the product to be reasonably priced."
