Offers single sign-on feature for business applications but needs to offer personalized insights
We use the product as a single sign-on for our business applications.  Microsoft Entra Verified ID is our primary way of authenticating into ServiceNow apps. It helps us to stay connected in the company.  I like the Microsoft Authenticator app since it comes with two-factor authentication.  I…

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

"The most valuable features of the solution are mainly in the areas of security and auditing."
"I like the Microsoft Authenticator app since it comes with two-factor authentication."
"The Autopilot feature is fantastic. It is a Microsoft product, so it deals best with Microsoft operating systems, but it can integrate with iOS, Mac OS, Linux, and Android."
"The stability of Microsoft Intune is good."
"Autopilot is a great feature. Most users are looking for a zero-touch deployment."
"Intune provides full visibility into all active mobile device users. If their devices are noncompliant with our security policies, I have the flexibility to update them remotely."
"Mobile device management is most valuable."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is having all our devices compliant with our policies."
"The feature I like the most is that we can perform remote tasks. If we want to retire or wipe out personal data or corporate data from a device, we can use Microsoft Intune remotely, and with the click of a button, data is removed automatically. Nothing needs to be done from the end-user side."
"It's very informative when there is an error. It allows us to backtrace where the error is and resolve that ourselves. It's a bit of a Swiss Army penknife. We find that it fixes most issues."
 

Cons

"I must do two-factor authentication when I sign in from a different location. It creates friction. It's not personalized for the end user. I would like to see specific insights."
"The tool's expensive nature is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Since GMS is unavailable in China, we currently rely on device administrator enrollment for managing Android devices there."
"Deploying an app can be a complex process due to dependencies."
"There is no catalog for mobile access management (MAM) security."
"From a new user's perspective, it may be a little overwhelming because there are quite a few things to look at in the console, however, once you are sort of acclimated and are familiar with your core functions, it's fairly simple and straightforward."
"There is improvement needed in integrating with the installed Office solutions versions, such as Office 2019. The Office 365 integrates without a problem."
"Intune endpoint analytics can be challenging."
"What would make this product better is adding more security policies and features in the next upgrade."
"Microsoft Intune fails a lot when it comes to device compliance."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If one is cheap and ten is very expensive, I rate the product price as seven."
"Microsoft Intune is available for individual purchase at a low per-device cost."
"Microsoft Intune is not cost-effective as a standalone product."
"We use Defender ATP and E5 licenses."
"We don't pay for Intune because it is bundled with the premium subscription to Office 365. It includes Intune and Defender. I don't have to buy two extra products to manage my enterprise."
"It's affordable. In comparison to the competitors, the price depends on what features you need from Intune, but it's affordable. There are no hidden costs, but there are some features that go for a premium price. Those are the add-ons for which you have to pay extra."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis."
"The price of Intune is often included as part of a bundle with other Microsoft licenses, which makes it somewhat cheaper."
"Microsoft Intune is more expensive than other solutions, but it offers a wider range of features and control."
