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."
"One valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is the enrollment process, which is user-based, making it easier to manage compared to AirWatch."
"It's normally able to meet 100% expectations of our customers."
"It is user-friendly, and the performance is also good. It is a convenient product"
"I like that we can implement conditional access."
"It is a cloud-based service. It is easy to use and offers privacy."
"One of the main features of the solution is it allows the management of many devices in different ways."
"Intune's feature that I have found most valuable is its auto-pilot feature."
"It provides control over all mobile devices that are being connected to the corporate network."
 

Cons

"Lacks a factory reset feature."
"The solution can have some compliance problems in general and the end-point user can bypass easily the company policies in Intune."
"I think that there is room for improvement with the reporting. If this is done, it will be a better product."
"There are a lot of updates happening on Microsoft."
"They need to integrate more with security options."
"It doesn't economize when you scale up. We have over 14,000 employees, and we have between 7,500 and 8,000 city-owned or personal devices being used to conduct city business. Its price can be improved. It is not a cheap solution."
"For an existing customer who has an SCCM, it would need to be upgraded to an MECM first before I can introduce Microsoft Intune."
"If you wish to block any App Store application, there is no way to do so."
"Data leak prevention can be integrated into it. Currently, it does not have data leak prevention."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The licensing is on a yearly basis."
"Its price is in the medium range. It is acceptable because you're paying for the features. I am not aware of any additional costs."
"The clients pay for a license and each can have a different type of license, such as an E3 or E5."
"It is cheap, but as compared to Google, it is costly. Google is cheaper, but quality-wise, Microsoft Intune is better."
"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."
"It is not expensive."
"It is reasonable for the features it has."
