Microsoft Intune Reviews

We use Microsoft Intune to manage all devices, including Windows devices, Android, and iOS. We have fully managed Android devices or dedicated Android devices, and RealWear glasses. 

Everything that we used to do with Microsoft System Center as an on-premise solution, we migrated to a cloud solution with Microsoft Intune. We are using Autopilot for device management, and for iOS, we use the ABM to include our devices in Microsoft Intune. We are using Microsoft Intune as our standard solution for managing devices.

We utilize Microsoft Copilot in Microsoft Intune and use autopilot to provide user flexibility in device provisioning without requiring IT team involvement. Users can install needed applications from the Company Portal independently. Our machine distributors perform pre-provisioning at the factory, which expedites the process for users.

Microsoft Intune effectively secures hybrid work environments. For data protection, we implement BitLocker.

Microsoft Intune has impacted IT productivity in our organization. The physical team has mixed feelings because they traditionally handled device provisioning, and now fewer people are needed for this task. However, enabling users to perform tasks independently without IT team intervention has improved overall productivity.

Microsoft Intune saves us time, though I cannot provide exact metrics since I don't track this specifically. It is more efficient to have one solution rather than having security parts spread across three, four, or five solutions. 

The user experience with Microsoft Intune is excellent because we can manage users and maintain security and policies anywhere they are. If users have a problem, they can factory reset and start the provisioning again without needing to return to the office. This provides flexibility and improves the experience for users.

The reporting functionality of Microsoft Intune is limited compared to Microsoft System Center, which offers many more reporting options. We also encounter some information inaccuracies that require verification using PowerShell scripts and other tools. We maintain close communication with Microsoft through our support contract and consistently provide feedback to improve the solution.

I have used Microsoft Intune since the beginning of the pandemic in 2020. It has been five years.

We would rate Microsoft's support an eight out of ten.

While I don't have access to high-level financial information, I believe we have achieved lower costs with this implementation.

We migrated some devices from Soti MobiControl to Microsoft Intune. My manager has requested a comparison between these two tools. We currently use Microsoft Intune and plan to discontinue Soti Mobicontrol use, but we are conducting a final comparative analysis before making this transition.

Overall, I would rate Microsoft Intune as eight out of ten. While I greatly appreciate the solution, some information inconsistencies and issues still need to be addressed by Microsoft.

On-premises

My main use cases for Microsoft Intune are to manage devices, remotely wipe lost devices, and enforce device security.

Microsoft Intune has definitely reduced management burdens. It has helped us significantly. 

Microsoft Intune has changed my customers' abilities regarding app discovery, deployment, and automatic updating. They use it extensively.

The feature of remotely wiping devices in Microsoft Intune is what I prefer the most. When employees come and go, we can remotely wipe devices. This is what we primarily use it for.

In terms of the admin experience, it is straightforward, but the Windows enrollment experience could be improved. Sometimes, for enrollment, we have to reset devices and re-enroll them. Just configuring Windows, Azure, or Active Directory doesn't enroll the devices. We need easy enrollment for Windows.

Microsoft Intune can be improved by integrating Lighthouse and making it easier for partners to manage customer devices. They have remote help in Microsoft Intune, but they charge a license for it. For partners who manage thousands of devices, they should not charge, as it could be integrated with Lighthouse to provide remote support and better help customers.

It is at times slow. It takes time in the backend whenever we push out enterprise apps or reset devices.

I have been using Microsoft Intune for approximately five years.

Microsoft Intune meets my needs for scaling and is scalable.

It's good. We pay for premium support, so we receive good support.

Positive

We also experimented with Google's solution before choosing Microsoft Intune. The main difference was that Google only supports Chromebook and doesn't handle Windows, so we use Microsoft Intune for Windows.

The return on investment when using Microsoft Intune is good. It has been helpful for us and our customers. 

It's bundled with Business Premium and an E3 license, which is beneficial. If you have to pay extra, it's pricey, but with the bundled package, it's acceptable. They recently increased the Business Premium pricing, which we don't appreciate. The price increase and yearly commitment are causing some problems for us.

We considered TeamViewer. We went for Intune because it is included with our Business Premium licensing, so we don't have to pay extra for it.

I would rate Microsoft Intune an eight out of ten. To make Microsoft Intune a perfect ten, they could provide remote help for partners with Lighthouse, make it easier to enroll all devices, and make it faster.

Microsoft Azure

Our primary use case for Intune has been securing our desktops. We now also use it to secure our servers, which started about a year ago.

Before, we used to reactively track down issues and fix security holes. Now, we're more proactive, stopping threats before they occur rather than reactively removing them afterward. This change helps stop the spreading of security issues.

Intune's integration with Defender and other security solutions is valuable because it offers a view into different security vulnerabilities and enables us to secure them more effectively. It's easy to use. There isn't a huge learning curve. It doesn't take long to get in and figure out where everything is. 

The application management feature's automatic updates help a lot, especially when we need to push updated scripts and apps to our desktops. We can update quickly instead of getting everybody to download and install it. 

Intune's server management could be better. If it could incorporate more features from System Center into Intune's Configuration Manager, it would be beneficial.

I've been using Microsoft Intune for about seven years.

There are no problems with Intune's stability. 

Scalability is great. We've had no issues scaling it across different environments, managing multiple Office 365 tenants and servers with no problems.

We used System Center Configuration Manager before moving to Intune. It's essentially an upgrade that allows us to manage both desktops and servers.

The initial setup had some issues, primarily with understanding scattered documentation, but it was resolved without much difficulty.

We deployed Intune in-house with our internal IT staff.

We are saving at least two or three hours a day since implementing Intune.

I don't have any information on pricing, setup costs, or licensing.

We did not evaluate other options before choosing Intune.

I rate Intune 10 out of 10.

Our company has consistently used Microsoft products. As the mobile device administrator, I oversaw the transition from Workspace ONE to Microsoft Intune. This decision stemmed from a desire to reduce licensing costs by leveraging existing Microsoft licenses held by all employees, ultimately leading to significant financial savings.

Intune consolidates endpoint and security management tools into a single platform. This centralized approach allows for specialized roles while maintaining a shared understanding of the complete security solution.

Intune's overall user experience is good.

Intune's most valuable feature is its centralized management capability.

The enterprise application management system for mobile devices is effective for app discovery, deployment, and automatic updates. The automatic update feature functions well, eliminating the need for manual updates and individual prompts, which is convenient for both administrators and users.

Intune has made things easier for us because we are using Autopilot to build our laptops.

We've saved a lot of money by moving from Workspace ONE to Microsoft Intune for mobiles.

I've recently started using Microsoft Intune, specifically its mobile device management features. While both Intune and Workspace ONE offer similar functionality, I've noticed that Workspace ONE operates in real-time, whereas Intune has a noticeable delay when deploying policies or apps. The time we have to wait to deploy policies has room for improvement.

People using Intune for Windows deployment, etcetera, can get annoyed because of the Windows updates.

I have been using Microsoft Intune for three months because we've just moved over.

From a mobile perspective, Microsoft Intune has been stable.

From a mobile perspective, Microsoft Intune is easily scalable.

I have contacted technical support only once, and it was very helpful.

Positive

We used VMware Workspace ONE previously. The decision to switch and save on costs was made by the higher-ups.

I would rate Microsoft Intune nine out of ten.

I would definitely recommend Intune to a colleague. It provides a centralized platform for managing various devices, including laptops, desktops, and mobile devices, and seamlessly integrates with other Microsoft solutions like Azure and Active Directory.

We have a team that continuously works on solutions to make workflows smooth, like building laptops and ensuring deployments work smoothly.

Microsoft Intune is deployed across various departments and locations within our local government council. We have different physical sites and departments, and Intune is managed and implemented at the departmental level.

Our team is continuously developing solutions to streamline the laptop production workflow, including assembly, traffic management, and deployment. We also have a separate team dedicated to ensuring the process runs smoothly.

I work for a company that deploys all of its iOS and Android devices on Intune. It can manage company and personal mobile devices. We have 150,000 users.

It helps us secure hybrid work. Some users work on company devices at the company, and some use personal devices. We have set app configuration and protection policies in Intune.

When customers travel, they carry their tablets or cell phones, so they need to access corporate resources, such as emails, chats, and files. Instead of carrying their laptops, they can easily access corporate services from their tablets or mobile phones. 

Intune increases productivity by 80 to 85 percent. Since adding Intune, our budget has increased. We are trying a few new things, and corporate is doing data testing. We've also had to purchase more licenses. The budget has increased, but it's worth it. 

We can implement a MAM policy in this Intune and protect the device through mobile application development without touching it. The interface is easy to use and understand. 

Microsoft brings all my endpoint and security tools into one place. Intune and endpoint manager are there. We can control our devices at the maximum level. I'm fully satisfied with Intune. 

With the application management feature, we can manage Google Play and publish applications from there. Per user requirements, we can deploy applications to Intune and to the user machines.

We had an APNS certificate set to expire last week. We tried to renew it two days before it expired. We logged in to the APNS portal but could not find that certificate.

We didn't know where it went. All the iOS devices stopped working. We contacted the Apple and Microsoft teams, and each blamed the other. This is something that Microsoft should take care of. Last week, we had so many escalations from high-profile users who couldn't access corporate data on their devices.

I have used Intune for more than two years.

I rate Intune 10 out of 10 for stability. We've had no issues.

I rate Intune 10 out of 10 for scalability.

I rate Microsoft support seven out of 10. When Microsoft support engineers can't resolve an issue, they refer it to the technical department, which will come back in a month. Then, you have to explain the entire issue from the start. 

Neutral

Before Intune, we used IBM MaaS360. Intune is more flexible. With the IBM product, we had to contact their product team to make any changes. Intune is more customizable. 

The deployment is a little complex. We previously had an on-premises data center, but we have migrated everything to the cloud in the past six months. Implementing Intune took months. We have two data centers: Bangalore and Kolkata. Migrating a lot of data was a lot of work. After deployment, it requires no maintenance.

Intune isn't cheap, but it's fairly priced.

I tried the AWS but the user interface is not as good as Intune's.

I rate Microsoft Intune eight out of 10. 

Public Cloud

Our use case for Microsoft Intune is managing end-user endpoints, specifically Windows desktops. It is not limited to Windows desktops as it can also manage Mac OS desktops, laptops, and mobile devices for both Android and Apple iOS. 

In terms of needing Microsoft Intune to manage devices, first, there is a requirement that devices must be joined to an Azure domain, either hybrid joined or purely joined. 

From my perspective, purely joined is really the only viable way of setting up an environment. Once devices are joined to Azure, access to Microsoft group policy is no longer available. Because group policy is not accessible in Azure, another way to manage and control devices is necessary. This alternative method uses Microsoft Intune Windows profiles. 

When setting up devices using Microsoft Intune, Windows profiles can be established which perform most of the same functions that Microsoft Group Policy did in a local Windows Active Directory environment. Microsoft Intune can manage and control machines and install software. It allows for Windows provisioning on machines and enables autopilot deployment with pre-packaged installations. When a user receives the machine, sets it up, and turns it on, it connects to the domain and begins installing software, becoming ready within approximately half an hour, which represents a significant time savings for IT departments.

Companies using Microsoft Intune are much better at managing their endpoints with far more visibility. The endpoint inventory is far more accurate and up to date. The Windows versioning for the endpoints is much better, and Windows stays current. Companies not using Microsoft Intune still rely on manual or prior methods of updating and inventorying, which are subject to gaps and inaccurate information.

The Microsoft Intune management console provides visibility into the current status of machines and deployed software. It can automatically update components within its capability, primarily Microsoft products. Third-party software updates, such as VLC media player, are not within Microsoft Intune's update capabilities. Some companies, such as Adobe, have packaged their software to be updatable in Microsoft Intune, though this is more the exception than the rule. Installing software in Microsoft Intune can be challenging if it is not already prepackaged.

The stability and reliability of Microsoft Intune is good. Microsoft takes everything in, and if users stay with Microsoft, everything works together effectively.

Microsoft support for Microsoft Intune is good. In my own use of Microsoft Intune, I did not spend significant time with support because the Microsoft documentation was adequate for our needs.

In a prior environment, when setting up Microsoft Intune, we utilized a third party for assistance. They contacted Microsoft on several occasions, and their needs were answered sufficiently.

We have a couple of companies using other options besides Microsoft Intune. One company is using Avanti Neurons.

I rate the documentation for Microsoft Intune very highly, approximately nine or ten out of ten. One of our companies is beginning to provision and establish a Cloud PK to replace their legacy on-prem ADCS server. 

I used Microsoft Intune extensively in setting up, running, and managing it for several years. In my current role, I don't have hands-on management responsibility for Microsoft Intune as much as responsibility for ensuring it secures the environment from a cybersecurity perspective. 

From an IT infrastructure team perspective, the experience with Microsoft Intune is good, although somewhat complex to navigate initially. From an end-user perspective, the experience is good as long as the infrastructure team has done their due diligence in setting it up to remove any obstacles from the user's setup of their own machine. 

I rate Microsoft Intune a ten out of ten.

In our organization, we use Microsoft Intune for enrolling our end user devices. We handle enrollment and de-enrollment and BitLocker recovery. We manage conditional access policies, configuration profiles, MDM, MAM, and managed endpoint devices such as Android phones, iOS devices, and tablet devices. 

We use Copilot in Microsoft Intune as it is premium-based with licensing. In our organization, we have over 1000 licenses for our end users. If there is any requirement from our end users, we check their approval from their manager and provide Microsoft Copilot licenses. 

We also manage and protect our apps through Microsoft Intune and have protection tools such as DLP, Netscope, and Zscaler. We utilize monitoring features in Microsoft Intune through conditional access policy.

The best features in Microsoft Intune that I appreciate most are its centralized features. There is no concern about managing end user devices. We enroll the user devices through Microsoft Intune and can manage them from anywhere. For instance, if I am in India, I can manage a user device that is available in the USA, Dubai, or any other country. 

I assess the user experience of Microsoft Intune as a very positive experience from our user end because it is user-friendly and manageable, resulting in great reviews from our users.

We use advanced endpoint analytics, which is very useful and protective. That is the benefit of advanced analytics. We use Microsoft Enterprise features. The Enterprise Application Management feature is very useful because we simply configure through policy and do not need to worry about any disturbance or further monitoring. We check the monitor or report sheet, and everything works perfectly and smoothly.

We could benefit from some AI features in Microsoft Intune, and it would be helpful to have some automation features available.

For macOS devices, we use the Jamf portal. I understand that the Jamf portal and server are more secure than Microsoft Intune for macOS. It would be beneficial if there were ways to improve and make it more user-friendly for managing macOS devices.

I have approximately 1.5 years of experience managing and supporting Microsoft Intune.

I would rate it a ten out of ten for stability.

For scalability, I would rate it a nine out of ten.

We are using it at multiple locations. In India, we have about seven offices, and we have multiple offices in UAE and the USA.

Approximately, we have 10,000 users, but at my location, I manage and support about 1,000 users.

Their technical support deserves a rating of ten out of ten.

Positive

It's not complex. It's very user-friendly. It generally takes 24 to 48 hours.

It's a hybrid environment. We use the cloud and on-prem environments.

It doesn't require any maintenance from our side.

It's cheap. It's not expensive. 

As compared to other products, Microsoft Intune is more secure, reliable, and user-friendly. 

I would rate Microsoft Intune a ten out of ten.

My use case for Microsoft Intune is to deploy applications and enroll devices, pushing the apps to the devices.

Microsoft Intune brings all of our endpoint and security management tools into one place.

The integration of Microsoft Intune with Microsoft 365 and Microsoft security for cloud and co-managed devices is flawless.

Microsoft Intune works smoothly for discovery, deployment, and automatic updates.

Microsoft Intune helps simplify our IT and security operations as it takes less time, and it's easier to use than SCCM.

Microsoft Intune is flawless for securing hybrid work and protecting data on company and BYO devices.

We are using Microsoft Intune's endpoint privilege management feature. For enforcing least privilege access with Microsoft Intune, we use Entra ID. It restricts unauthorized access, requiring roles to be activated to proceed with necessary tasks, enhancing security.

Microsoft Intune has positively affected my IT productivity, as the decisions made at the enterprise level show it to be a more efficient way than SCCM.

In Microsoft Intune, everything is great. The interface is user-friendly, and the reporting tool works in real-time. Uploading the content is fine as well.

There is room for improvement in server patch management and allowing direct uploads of EXE applications instead of needing to convert them to Intune format, which would save time.

I have been using Microsoft Intune for more than one and a half years.

We have not experienced any issues. I would rate the stability of Microsoft Intune a nine out of ten. 

We have approximately 90,000 devices in our organization. We have multiple locations across various regions of the world. In our IT team, there are about ten people working with Intune, with plans to add more.

I would rate the technical support for Microsoft Intune an eight out of ten.

Positive

Previously, we were using MECM. The reason for the switch to Microsoft Intune is that the organization I work for has migrated to Intune. Microsoft Intune is far more efficient and faster than MECM. The deployment would take a lot of time in MECM; Intune is quite faster.

We are still using SCCM for cloud PKI as it hasn't been migrated.

Deploying Microsoft Intune in the cloud was complex as the previous work needed to be deleted and recreated, which wasted time.

Microsoft Intune saves about 10% to 15% of time. For example, deploying a 2 to 3 GB application at an enterprise level typically takes around one hour to one and a half hours, but with Microsoft Intune deployment, it gets completed in 30 to 40 minutes.

Microsoft Intune saves us around 10% to 15% in resources.

We are using Microsoft Copilot in Intune as an AI tool; it doesn't protect much, but it is handy for our users.

I would recommend Microsoft Intune to other users, especially those using MECM or SCCM, because Microsoft is ending support for older solutions.

Overall, I would rate Microsoft Intune an eight out of ten.

Public Cloud

I use Microsoft Intune for endpoint management. I administer Intune for many clients, and I also use Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) application protection policies.

The most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is its scalability. It helps reduce hands-on IT support, especially with remediations. Since it is a cloud solution, there is no need for on-premises infrastructure to support endpoints. Endpoint Analytics is considered very useful, although it can be slow. Endpoint Privilege Management greatly increases productivity by allowing admin rights to be assigned to individual applications.

The platform is incredibly slow and could be more responsive. Specifically, when making changes to security policies, I would like to see those changes take effect more quickly.

I have used Microsoft Intune since more than 2019, so approximately three years.

For me, the deployment is not complicated, but it is a complicated process overall.

Microsoft Intune is generally stable but slow. I would rate its stability at eight out of ten.

I would rate Microsoft Intune's scalability ten out of ten. Being a cloud solution increases its scalability.

The technical support for Microsoft Intune is slow to respond and not great. I try to avoid using it because of its slowness. If you can get through to technical support, it is great, but the triage process is lackluster. I would rate their technical support five out of ten.

Neutral

I previously used Symantec Altiris. I switched to Microsoft Intune for native cloud support, as Altiris was not native at the time with cloud support.

Using Microsoft Intune saves costs by reducing the need for hands-on IT support. It has improved our ROI by lowering licensing costs due to the consolidation of vendors.

I rate Microsoft Intune eight out of ten because it is improving all the time. The biggest lesson is that all solutions must be integrated, especially in the journey to the cloud. It is important to keep up-to-date with changes in Intune to ensure all adaptations are utilized.

Currently, we are using Intune to manage our iOS devices. We are planning to extend its use to our Windows computers. Initially, the immediate need was for a Mobile Device Management to support the iOS platform, and Intune fulfilled that requirement.

When it comes to iOS, Intune is quite limited. Since it is a Windows product, it is more tailored towards Windows devices. We noticed limitations, which is one reason we are trying to move away from it. Intune does consolidate all endpoint and security management tools into one place, making everything easier to manage.

Intune should support platforms other than Windows. We have encountered several limitations, especially when handling iOS devices. Features like unlocking devices sometimes fail, and the support offered for other operating systems is insufficient. Enhancements are needed based on my real user concerns.

We have been using Intune since we transitioned to Office 365, and that was over five years ago.

The product itself is fine. We have not experienced any connection issues or significant problems. However, we do encounter backend issues related to its administration.

Intune is not scalable enough to fully support other operating systems aside from Windows.

Microsoft support is alright; it is a standard experience. On a scale from one to ten, I would rate it a five.

Neutral

We did not use a different solution before opting for Intune.

The initial deployment was pretty straightforward.

The deployment was completed with an in-house team comprising about twenty people, where everyone had a small piece of the work.

We see ROI because Intune is bundled in our Microsoft agreement.

The pricing is fair. We get Intune bundled with our Microsoft agreement.

We did not evaluate any other options before choosing Intune.

If you are a Microsoft shop, then Intune is a good fit. If not, you might face issues because it primarily supports Microsoft products. We are planning to decrease its usage. Overall, I would rate Intune a five because we are not solely a Microsoft environment.
