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.

Offers reliability and efficiency to users
I use the solution in my company for reporting, software delivery, and patching. The tool is similar to SCCM The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it works like SCCM. The fact that it doesn't require on-premises infrastructure is one thing I like about Tanium XEM.…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I haven't used other mobile device management solutions, but compared to SCCM, we eliminate a lot of on-premises infrastructure and maintenance by using Intune."
"If you need only to load a specific profile and you don't have deep security functionalities, et cetera, Intune is very nice and good."
"It helps implement conditional access policies to restrict mobile users from accessing potentially dangerous emails."
"Application deployment and keeping the devices secure no matter where they are, by having this cloud solution — that has been great."
"A great solution for anyone wanting a modern endpoint device management solution."
"The most important thing for me is the autopilot feature."
"The most valuable features are the ones that make sure that the deployment is of a standard operating system and the Zero Touch deployment, which is very useful. This allows users to have an out of box experience."
"The Mobile Device Management in Intune is a valuable feature."
"The solution's technical support is very responsive."
 

Cons

"The tool's tunnel gateway is not very good, making it an area where improvements are required."
"The installation could be improved to be simplified."
"China blocks Google and Google Play Store, which makes installation challenging. Microsoft Intune is a company software, which has to be installed to the app portal or Microsoft Software Center."
"The technical support could be improved."
"Could benefit from user having more control over devices."
"There is improvement needed in integrating with the installed Office solutions versions, such as Office 2019. The Office 365 integrates without a problem."
"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."
"The policies we had in SCCM and AD offered features that are missing from Microsoft Intune."
"There are some bugs in the product. The tool needs to improve in the area of reporting."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Generally, we get favorable discounts, so it's not too bad. Obviously, we're looking at decreasing those wherever we can to bring value back to the public purse because it's all charity based. It's all publicly funded."
"The product is relatively pricey, but considering its benefits, I'd say it's fair. The benefits outweigh the expensive licensing fees, especially for large organizations, but medium-sized and smaller businesses may be unable to afford it."
"I am satisfied with the pricing."
"The purchase of the product was handled by someone else."
"The price could be better."
"For Microsoft 365 E5 clients, cost is not an issue as this product is one of the benefits."
"The E5 license is expensive."
"Existing E5 license holders for M365, Intune, and Azure, receive a free license."
