Great features with very good function management
Our customers are pretty happy with the product. It uploads files, creates a secure virtual compartment for corporate applications. If it's on-prem, you can use it with mobile phones or tablets that don't have access to the internet using intranet with wireless access points. That's a big plus for government institutions as it enables the management of a large fleet of devices without any outside interference. That is the most significant advantage.
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

"Can manage a large fleet of devices without any outside interference."
"There has been a noticeable increase in productivity for both my organization and clients."
"EAM is a godsend."
"The standout features of Intune are its excellent mobile device management and highly effective application management capabilities."
"Microsoft Intune is very stable due to its cloud-based infrastructure and its reliability in performance."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is having all our devices compliant with our policies."
"Our bank's most valuable Intune features are centered around the dedicated device concept."
"The reporting and analytics features in Microsoft Intune have been a lifesaver."
"It is a stable solution."
 

Cons

"Lacks a factory reset feature."
"There is no catalog for mobile access management (MAM) security."
"Microsoft Intune could enhance its patch management for various devices, ensuring regular updates and tracking of device privileges."
"Since GMS is unavailable in China, we currently rely on device administrator enrollment for managing Android devices there."
"At this time, I do not have any areas for improvement. I have heard about some downtime, but I am not in the local IT team."
"Intune needs to incorporate more tools to reduce the number of third-party applications we rely on."
"Intune's server management could be better. If it could incorporate more features from System Center into Intune's Configuration Manager, it would be beneficial."
"They need to add more group policies. Intune currently does not have many group policies that you can deploy. Its reporting, which is very limited at the moment, also needs improvement. It will be great if they can add report customization. Its stability needs to be improved. Sometimes, when you register a device in Intune, it doesn't show up instantly on the engine portal on the admin side. They need to provide better support for complicated issues. They also have a long turnaround time."
"Intune's third-party patch management could be better. It should be easier for the average system admin to keep non-Microsoft applications updated."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Intune is included in the Microsoft 365 licensing package that we have."
"Licensing depends on how you are providing support to your enterprise, whether it's device-based or user-based."
"The price of Intune is included with the license for Office 365, so we don't have to pay anything extra for it."
"Intune's pricing is competitive. For example, the license of Blackberry's Enterprise Mobility Suite was costly, but Intune is affordable. It is included as an additional feature when you buy security enhancements for your organization. For example, let's say I have fifty users in my organization and all of them are using Microsoft cloud services, like Teams, Office 365, and OneDrive."
"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."
"Its licensing model is not complex, but it is very expensive compared to other solutions. They can bring more models and reduce the pricing. They should allow customers to select the features they want and price it accordingly."
"I rate Intune five out of 10 for pricing. It's expensive."
"The pricing for Intune and the competitor products are all within the same range, there is no true advantage when it comes to cost."
