We performed a comparison between Microsoft Intune and Microsoft Sentinel based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Microsoft Security Suite solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The Microsoft Windows Autopilot and Defender policies are the most valuable features of this solution."
"The security-related tools are excellent; these features allow us to secure devices, lock them down, and ensure compliance."
"The ability to manage devices with different sets of policies is most valuable."
"There are so many features, but Windows Autopilot is one of the features that are very valuable for most customers."
"We are a remote company, and the product helps us manage the global endpoints. It helps us natively manage the endpoints in the cloud from anywhere."
"Internet-based access with security is what I have found to be most valuable. It is also a stable and scalable solution."
"I like how Microsoft Intune lets me lock down the email profile and make it accessible only on certain devices."
"I can see that the patch management process is much improved with the bundled patch management option available in Microsoft Intune compared to the KPI deployment required by the other deployment solutions."
"The analytics has a lot of advantages because there are 300 default use cases for rules and we can modify them per our environment. We can create other rules as well. Analytics is a useful feature."
"We have no complaints about the features or functionality."
"Native integration with Microsoft security products or other Microsoft software is also crucial. For example, we can integrate Sentinel with Office 365 with one click. Other integrations aren't as easy. Sometimes, we have to do it manually."
"The log query feature has been the most valuable because it's very good. You can put your data on the cloud and run queues from Sentinel. It will do it all very fast. I love that I don't have to upload it to an Excel file and then manually look for a piece of information. Sentinel is much faster and is good for big databases."
"The data connectors that Microsoft Sentinel provides are easy to integrate when we work with a Microsoft agent."
"One of the most valuable features of Microsoft Sentinel is that it's cloud-based."
"The most valuable features are its threat handling and detection. It's a powerful tool because it's based on machine learning and on the behavior of malware."
"Free ingestion for Azure logs (with E5 licence)"
"An area for improvement is the absence of seamless integration, particularly with external dashboards."
"There are a couple of issues with stability."
"I would like to see easier pushdowns. Currently, we have to package our own software and then push it. Intune can make that way easier and integrate applications, such as Zoom and Adobe Acrobat, that are used by a lot of enterprise or corporate organizations."
"I would like to see the ability to deploy custom packages as a Windows 64-bit package, as opposed to the Windows 32-bit, which is the only one available now."
"The reports aren't complete, and it's not easy to build custom reports. For example, Windows Autopilot isn't working well in cases where the computers don't have a good internet connection. Then the option is not good enough."
"The solution can have some compliance problems in general and the end-point user can bypass easily the company policies in Intune."
"There are items that require improvements. One is the controls from iOS."
"Microsoft Intune's support for Mac devices is lacking and could be improved."
"Add more out-of-the-box connectors with other SaaS platforms/applications."
"When it comes to ingesting Azure native log sources, some of the log sources are specific to the subscription, and it is not always very clear."
"The product can be improved by reducing the cost to use AI machine learning."
"We've seen delays in getting the logs from third-party solutions and sometimes Microsoft products as well. It would be helpful if Microsoft created a list of the delays. That would make things more transparent for customers."
"Microsoft should improve Sentinel, considering that from the legacy systems, it cannot collect logs."
"They only classify alerts into three categories: high, medium, and low. So, from the user's point of view, having another critical category would be awesome."
"For certain vendors, some of the data that Microsoft Sentinel captures is redacted due to privacy reasons."
"Microsoft Sentinel should provide an alternative query language to KQL for users who lack KQL expertise."
