A tool that offers endpoint protection with low maintenance costs
Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence is used by a lot of companies to cover areas like endpoint protection, cloud workloads, and Microsoft Office 365, making it a full-blown product The most valuable feature of the solution is that the tool offers not just one but all of its features or tools…

We can manage all aspects of our devices from a single console, easy to scale, and quick to deploy
Intune has many benefits from the Microsoft perspective. This solution can manage Windows 10 devices, app management, and provide security solutions. We don't need to worry about our network connection, and we'll be more secure with regular security patches and compliance. Since everything will be deployed through the internet and users will log in using the internet only, the risks have been mitigated. Security updates, security patching, and the application will be targeted from Intune. The location tracker will be available to track where the device is and the user's location. The user will be restricted from accessing certain applications using compliance policies. Conditional access policies will be based on the reason why the user needs access to the application. Microsoft Intune is one of the best products in the industry for managing Windows devices. The solution has more feature restrictions. The conditional access policies also eliminate the dependency on the on-prem network for the devices. The solution also manages our security settings and a lot of other beneficial features such as Microsoft Purview which gives us the compliance portion. We can manage all aspects of our device from a single console, including M365 services. This allows us to configure data classification types, such as public, private, internal, confidential, and highly confidential.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I rate the tool's stability a ten out of ten."
"Offers easy integration with a cloud-based infrastructure"
"The technical support services are excellent."
"The product is useful when the end user downloads malware files."
"The product’s most valuable feature is the ability to provide threat detection and protection simultaneously."
"The product provides efficient email security for sending links and file attachments."
"Microsoft's integration into the security stack works quite well."
"You can use it to monitor third parties and ensure they are not under threat attacks. It is beneficial in the GRC model."
"For Windows services, there are multiple options within Intune to modernize it to be more internet-facing and dynamic."
"A great solution for anyone wanting a modern endpoint device management solution."
"It helps implement conditional access policies to restrict mobile users from accessing potentially dangerous emails."
"Conditional access has helped us tailor and enforce our security policies in the mobile space."
"With on-premises Active Directory, the main challenge was that we had no control when a user was working from home. We didn't know what exactly a user was doing and whether the AV was up to date or not. Intune provides better control of their machines."
"The security features are most definitely valuable. If I have to give an example, the lockdown features that prevent employees from configuring anything or downloading company data are valuable. We get high-quality device protection, malware protection, and information protection at the same time."
"Maturity makes it a stable product."
"Compliance and the policies that can be set are the most valuable features."
 

Cons

"One area that can be improved is reducing false positives."
"The product's dashboard and incident reports functionality needs enhancement."
"It takes time for the support team to understand the issue, and they then respond with a delay at times, which causes a lot of trouble."
"It would be beneficial to enhance the pricing structure and make it more affordable."
"Microsoft itself is a major target for attacks and threats due to its size and popularity. That could be considered Microsoft's Achilles heel."
"I would like to see more frequent updates, which is always better for security because of daily threats."
"While the current setup meets our needs, Microsoft can constantly improve customization and adaptability to rapidly evolving cybersecurity threats."
"The tool's onboarding of users that use on-premise or hybrid environments needs to be improved."
"Due to the abundance of features, there's a lot to organize, which makes managing and setting up the solution challenging. The setup is immense, and it would be good to see improvement in this area."
"The solution could be improved by the opportunity to connect third-party application databases, such as Chocolatey or another setup store, to Intune."
"There should be more focus on mobile device security and integration."
"There are some issues using the solution with macOS and iOS, and it offers limited granular control with them. Intune works better on Windows and Android."
"Microsoft Intune needs to improve the initial login process."
"The reporting is subpar. That's the only issue we have with Intune. We use another solution for that purpose."
"I'd like some more reporting so that I don't have to delve into PowerShell and I can pull more of the local device information such as memory, apps installed, etc. It would be nice to be able to see the apps that are present there but might not be managed. For example, if they installed 7Zip, it could report that back via an installed program or feature to see what was currently installed."
"The solution could improve by having better integration with Apple."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a six or seven out of ten."
"I rate the product's price a six or seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is expensive, and ten is cheap."
"The product’s pricing is worth it."
"Microsoft's pricing structure involves annual fees."
"They offer two license plans: Microsoft Defender for endpoints and Microsoft Defender for businesses."
"The tool is expensive as a stand-alone solution. However, it is not cheap when you purchase it as a bundle."
"The solution is relatively expensive; however, our status as a gold partner provides us with several complimentary licenses, which offsets the cost."
"I use the product's default version, which is a free one and not the licensed version."
"Microsoft Intune's pricing is reasonable."
"The pricing is not cheap, especially with inflation. They've had to increase their prices. It's not excessive, but alright."
"The price of Intune is included with the license for Office 365, so we don't have to pay anything extra for it."
"The pricing for Microsoft Intune is reasonable. Our clients are satisfied."
"I rate Intune five out of 10 for pricing. It's expensive."
"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."
"If you're subscribing to Premium or E3, there are no additional costs for Intune, it's included."
"No one can compete with Microsoft when it comes to price, and the features it is offering."
