Microsoft Intune Reviews

We are using it to protect our devices. We are using it for protecting our corporate data on the phone and for GDPR compliance. 

We are using its latest version.

It is helpful for protecting our corporate data on the phone. In the event a phone is stolen, we can remotely wipe the phone or destroy the data on it.

It also helps us with our GDPR compliance. We also have the GDPR module on the cloud that links to all the endpoints, laptops, mobile phones, and tablets. So, we can also remotely protect the data on the phones, wherever they are.

Intune makes it possible for us to reach all the endpoints and have them protected at all times. We have what is called Defender now, but it used to be called Advanced Threat Protection.

The ability to manage devices with different sets of policies is most valuable.

We haven't really gone through all the features of Intune. We are just discovering them. Every day, we see a new feature that we want to apply, but what will be great for Intune is to be able to deploy apps in a simple fashion. We should be able to easily install various apps on the Windows platform, iOS, and Android. Currently, we have to write some scripts. It's not as straightforward as we would like it to be. It should be simplified so that we can do it just with three clicks—next, next, finish—without needing to write a script.

I have been using this solution for about six years.

So far, it has been good because what we tend to do is get high-end phones with lots of processing power, RAM, and storage. That way, its capacity is never an issue.

It is scalable. It is a multi-user license, and because there are templates for policies, it's easy to just assign what you have set up for executives, for ordinary users, for marketers, etc.

We have about 150 users who use this solution. I work with this on a daily basis.

I would rate them a 10 out of 10 because they knew what the problem was, and they walked us through resolving it. I am satisfied with their support.

Positive

The first one we used was VMware AirWatch. The reseller overestimated our requirements, and we got a very expensive package. It was about $57,000 every year, and eventually, we found out they had a package for $6,000 every year that did exactly what we wanted, so we had to drop it. We had spent two years on VMware AirWatch with the expensive module.

We switched to Intune because we were already on a Microsoft subscription for Office 365, and the add-on wasn't that expensive.

It was simple. I would rate it a four out of five in terms of the setup. It took about a week.

It is a cloud product. It doesn't require any maintenance from our side. We get an update every time they upgrade a feature.

We did it internally. We just went through the documentation.

It's affordable for the protection it gives. There are no additional costs.

I would advise getting a Microsoft partner to deploy it for you. It's a lot quicker. 

I would definitely recommend this product. I would rate it a 10 out of 10.

It helps me to safeguard my identities in terms of conditional access. If a person is using it from outside the office, there would be MFAs that are mandatory. However, the moment they're inside the office, they're probably not using it. There are MDM features, which are my corporate-owned devices. It can be used for MA features and for BYOD scenarios. I have tested it on VPN certification authentication and it works in those areas as well. 

The dashboard is good.

We find the solution to be mostly stable.

The scalability is good.

We've largely been happy with technical support.

This product works very well for companies already using the full Microsoft suite. 

There could be some more security without compromising productivity. They could provide some advisories that alert you as to whether the device is secure or not. They need to be able to show us if there is something malicious happening or not. It would be really nice to have something there that could protect us from malicious activities or ransomware. 

I'd like more reports and KPIs available. We'd like these to be visible so users can be assured their devices are secure. 

The initial setup is a little bit complex.

I've pretty much used the solution since its inception. I've used it from 2012 onwards. However, since 2015, it rapidly began changing the nature of its utilization. I've used it for the last five or six years under this new utilization.

There is always a noise when you are going to manage any endpoint devices, and noise is definitely there with this solution. However, I would estimate it is 70% to 80% is stable. You have to manage it, have to face daily operational issues, which we are doing.

If a company needs to scale the solution, it can do so. It's cloud-based, which makes it easy to expand as needed.

We've used technical support in the past. We have given them feedback. They are good. They keep improving and adding. They keep giving more insights around it. I really like the approach overall that they have.

I am familiar with a similar IBM-based product. If you have a Microsoft-based suite, InTune makes more sense, however, if a company uses something else - such as Google - IBM may be more suited. 

At an enterprise level, it is always a complex initial setup. However, with the cloud, if you use that and you start from scratch, it would be pretty simple plug-and-play. That said, the moment the data comes in from the enterprise, there are complexities as there's only one system you are going to have to handle multiple devices and users from 300 to 30,000 to 300,000. It depends on how you are going to handle it.

For per device, it is not much work to set up the solution as there are only one or two apps that need to be installed. For policy conservation and many other things, you require some time to think about what needs to be done. You usually, for example, create the profile, which takes a month's time - or a month and a half.

You do not need much of a team technical team for the deployment. You just require a couple of experts - at least one or two - who have a good understanding.  We have around ten people involved in active management of it, and that includes a 24/7 support team to help manage different devices.

We are able to implement the solution for our clients. 

There is a per-user-based license and that is a licensing mechanism. You can pay yearly or monthly.

I'm a user and a consultant. I deploy this solution for clients and migrate to it.

If a client is using a lot of Microsoft, it's a great product to have. It integrates really, really well with everything. However, if a company has a non-Microsoft suite, I wouldn't suggest this as an option. Google and IBM also have suites that might have better solutions that would work for non-Microsoft users.

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten overall. 

Typically, for customers that tend to come from a transportation logistics background, it's essentially free or the TCO is literally non-existent. It's a good fit for our resume offerings. Anywhere between 50 to 200 users is a typical use case that we see, where they're leveraging the product for low subscription costs.

Its overall integration into Microsoft 365 is great. 

I would say the biggest benefit is the single-pane view. There's no jumping around multiple UI's to do your overall management. Linkage to a single pane is probably the best benefit.

I'm looking at it in comparison to other EMMs and there are better EMMs out there. It's still for me at an MBM stage, as it's addressing other areas that make up EMM, however, if you put it in comparison to others, for instance, the overall experience is better. We get OL and DM and we get in the mobile threat detection. We get in a lot of other things into that EMM. 

Intune, in their port description, for me is still pretty infantile. I will say in the next 18 months to two years, they'll start becoming a bit more major, I hope.

It's pretty straightforward to implement as long as you've got a Microsoft subscription. However, it's kind-of convoluted how they explain it and what you are paying for. Obviously, we know that the more money you pay, the more features you get. I think that they can lay it out a little bit better, sometimes it's pretty hard to follow what their offering actually is.

There's quite a lot of development that they can do within their Intune dashboard. I think there are too many lines hyperlinked to move you around. Others, in contrast, give you a simple dashboard and an intuitive administrative walkthrough.

The solution looks too technical. Even though it is a technical feature, it comes across as too technical to navigate through. They can certainly work on the overall dashboad and the layout, to simplify everything.

They can do a lot more with Enterprise Firmware over here to give it full support.

Coming from a Samsung perspective, they need to comprehensively support the Android provisioning methods.

I’ve been using the solution for three years now.

From a stability perspective yes, it's very stable. The SLA that Microsoft gives around their network, the cloud service offering, makes it very stable.

It's highly scalable. Anything that's in the cloud should come with scale, and in this case definitely a highly scalable option.

I'm not sure, in total, how many people are actually on the solution. With Samsung, there's no preferred EMM solution in place. Most of it tends to come down to local/regional preference. Each region's location has its own mobile provider or EMM provider. We don't manage Intune for ourselves or for customers. Therefore, within the business, I would say it's less than 5%. As I say, we have our own solution. Nobody's going to use Intune within Samsung and we have our own EMM. Therefore, I don't forsee us increasing usage.

As we're consultants, we never rely upon a specific Microsoft consultancy to resolve anything and we clear our own testbed issues. We've very rarely been in contact with Microsoft's technical support. We're more engaged with Microsoft from a strategic partner level or in partnership as regards to our EMM offering. We have all the expertise we need in-house.

The solution is cloud-oriented. As long as you have a valid Microsoft Enterprise Subscription, it's all subscription-driven. From an installation or deployment perspective, it's pretty quick and pretty straightforward. It's not complex. As long as you paid for at least a standard enterprise subscription.

Where I am with Samsung, we're pre-sales. This is the customer's OMS. We're engaging with customers that have these environments in place, to then obviously bolt in our Samsung cloud solutions port. Obviously, we become consultancy on our cloud solutions. However, more so you have the engineering aspects of that.

For my area of business, we have a yearly subscription, which provides us with Intune capabilities within our test labs. It is negligible. It's pennies compared to our growth target. It's very affordable.

I'm typically an Azure consultant. Therefore, anything on the Azure platform now obviously includes Intune from an EMM perspective.

We use a multitude of versions. I can't tell the specific numbers. We use many as we have to constantly compare against different customer environments. We have test labs that have multi-versions as well.

Predominantly, our deployment models are on the cloud. There's literally no call for on-premise at all, apart from network connectors.

I would advise users to consider the solution on a use case by use case. I personally work in a Samsung Android environment and there's a lot more feature support in other EMMs. Therefore, I wouldn't necessarily recommend it. In the next 18 to 24 months, I hope that severe changes are made as Microsoft establishes itself more.

Overall, I would rate it at a seven out of ten. There's still a lot of room for improvement in how they deliver. Their products and features are pretty good, and they serve the need. They probably just need to work on their explanation and probably the layout and UI quite a bit more. 

My last job was cyber defense for clients in European countries like France, Belgium, Sweden, etc. We use Intune to manage definitions for Microsoft Defender and classic corporate reasons, such as limiting the access of Active Directory users. 

My current company supports clients using Office 365. We're one of the biggest service providers in Bosnia Herzegovina. We use it to deploy enterprise applications to specific users. 

Intune is good for both the administrator and the client. You can deploy things like antivirus and applications while preventing or allowing users to do something on their PCs. 

It's possible to protect users' personal devices with access control list rules in Intune, DLP, etc. You can set different policies for personal and company devices, but it can be tricky to tell when the rule should be applied to a device.

The most valuable feature is Intune's ability to push out updates for the security and antivirus. I also like Intune's copilot and the ability to automate processes. For example, if you have 5,000 employees who are issued new PCs and you need to set them up with everything they need.  

Intune is on the cloud, so you can bring all your endpoint and security management tools together. Intune may not be the best tool in the world, but it's the most familiar. You have Microsoft, Fortinet, Cisco, etc., but I've worked with Microsoft my entire life, and it brings all the functions from SCCM to the cloud. Office 365 hase everything in one admin portal. With Cisco, everything is messy. If you are dealing with 10,000 to 50,000 employees, you must manage everything from one console.

The user experience is better from an administrative perspective. It has improved in each version, so things are easier to find. 

Setting up Intune Autopilot can be a little complicated. 

I have used Intune for six years, primarily in a lab environment. 

We were interrupted by a bug and a policy that wasn't configured correctly. In this instance, it was our mistake because we created rules that prevented Intune from pushing applications out. 

We have an SLA with Microsoft support that covers all of our products, including Office 365, Azure, Exchange, etc. If we have a problem, we contact Microsoft Global Support in India. We can call them at any time, day or night, to solve our issues.  

Positive

 I previously worked with SCCM on-prem. Intune has the same features, but it's entirely cloud-based. Everything is the same except for the console. 

The price of Intune is too high for a small company or environment like ours. 

I rate Microsoft Intune eight out of 10.

We use the solution for endpoint management, which includes security and compliance. 

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. 

Microsoft Intune's most valuable feature is Autopilot. 

We faced issues with macOS support. The product should have better inventory and asset management. 

I have been using the product for four to five years. 

Microsoft Intune is stable. 

My company has 200 users. 

Microsoft Intune's deployment is straightforward. 

We did the deployment in-house. 

I liked the tool's pricing until P2 came into effect. I am unsure about the current value versus the cost of the new licensing model. 

Microsoft Intune has improved access to devices for remote wipes. We can act quickly whenever someone leaves a company or a device gets stolen. It offers more visibility into our IT group. 

The tool's cloud-focused availability has improved the organizational security posture. It has helped to save time. We can do a lot more with a smaller team.

I rate the product a nine out of ten.  

We use Intune for device management to ensure mobile devices such as laptops and tablets comply with our organization's regulations and requirements. We have some on-prem resources and operate a hybrid, primarily cloud-based environment.

We have seen many benefits from using Intune, especially in security. We have fewer company data leaked to the public as our security is tighter, and our company network is safer.

The ability to wipe data from and reset devices is one of the most important and valuable features. If a device is reported stolen, we can freeze it or wipe the data from it, preventing data leakage.

The solution offers excellent visibility into all devices connected to the network and whether they are safe or compromised.

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. 

I've used the solution for two to three years as an end user and an IT admin.

Intune is very stable. 

The solution's scalability is excellent, though it could be improved regarding macOS and iOS.

We've reached out to Microsoft technical support many times, and they have always helped resolve our issues promptly and efficiently; I rate them ten out of ten.

Positive

We previously used Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) for group and on-prem policies, which we also pushed out to devices. We switched because Intune is more modern and cloud-based, so it fits our organization better.

As an IT admin, I was involved in the deployment of Intune as a consultant. The implementation was very straightforward as we're an experienced team of security professionals consisting of two IT admins and an IT manager. There was also a test environment for our benefit, and moving that over to a production environment was seamless.

We carried out the implementation internally. 

We definitely have an ROI with Intune, and the benefits are compounding. Security is a non-negotiable area; our business has to be secure, and our sensitive company data has to be protected from malicious actors. The security of company resources is always an ROI for the business, so it's essential.

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.

We didn't consider other options; we wanted a Microsoft product, as it's great to add to our existing suite of business applications, and the integration is more seamless than it would be with third-party products.

I rate the solution ten out of ten. 

We implemented the solution to solve security concerns; users access our company resources from outside the network, and we must ensure the devices they connect from are safe. As an admin, I have complete visibility into devices connecting from outside and can ensure they are safe and secure.

My advice to those considering the solution is to be aware of its capabilities, limitations, and their business needs. These factors will allow you to determine if Intune is the best device management tool for you. Depending on the environment, you may have to combine Intune with an older technology to manage all company devices.

We're an MSP, and our primary use case is for fleet management; our entire fleet is handled through Intune, so all our mobile devices are logged in through the Azure portal, and we can manage our apps that way. We've been able to lock down our devices and control our field of frontline workers.

The solution allows us to keep track of an extensive device fleet so we know where they are and whether they're secure and compliant. Those that aren't compliant enter a pool, and our tech staff work to rectify that. Intune improved our organization by helping keep our data secure.

The security-related tools are excellent; these features allow us to secure devices, lock them down, and ensure compliance.

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 stability could be improved. 

We've been using Intune for around six years. 

Intune is a stable platform for the most part, though Microsoft can still make some improvements in this area. 

The solution is very scalable. 

Microsoft has slow technical support; getting through to anyone typically takes a day or two. Once we get through, then the support is good.

Neutral

The deployment is relatively straightforward; we send out an email, and our users click the link; it downloads the tool to their phones, and they can log in using their credentials. If it's set up correctly, then the deployment is easy.

The solution requires a small amount of maintenance; I have one full-time member of staff to maintain 420 total devices split between two of our clients. 

The cost is handled through our Office 365 license, so I have yet to be able to compare it directly with other tools in its class.

I rate the solution seven out of ten. 

My advice to those evaluating Intune is that you need to know Azure. This isn't a product you can jump into without prior Azure knowledge.

We switched to Office 365 applications and we already had an Office 365 license that covers Microsoft Intune. We decided to use Intune for our Mobile Application Management solution.

I only use Microsoft Intune for Mobile Application Management for the management of Office 365 apps. Additionally, we have Microsoft Intune integrated with Workspace ONE.

We have used conditional access policies to prevent users from copying internal resources or internal data to external devices. This has helped protect our organizations from being compromised.

The conditional access policies that we set up are very useful.

Microsoft Intune could improve by being more user-friendly and having it geared toward device management. The graphic interface is not very good.

The VPN option within Intune is not as intuitive as the one available in Workspace ONE. We're trying to implement a VPN tunnel for SharePoint sites. This will allow users trying to access internal resources, such as SharePoint, and other Office 365 data, but it doesn't work as well as Workspace ONE. 

We are in the POC stage of the VPN tunnel. We only have a development tenant for the tunnel. We plan is to implement that in production and get rid of Workspace ONE, if it meets our needs.

I have used Microsoft Intune within the past 12 months.

The solution is stable.

I have found Microsoft Intune to be scalable.

We have over 5,500 users using this solution.

The technical support from Microsoft could improve, it is not as good as the Workspace ONE support. It is difficult to contact Microsoft support.

I have used Workspace ONE, and I would highly recommend it over Microsoft Intune.

The initial setup was complex, and the full deployment took us one year.

We did the deployment ourselves. There is little maintenance required, we have to only update policies. We have a mobility architect that set up most of the backend and we did work with a Microsoft resource for this process.

I have received a return on investment, the solution is inexpensive.

There is a license required to use this solution. However, it was part of a bundle package. 

Microsoft Intune is far less expensive than other solutions, such as Workspace ONE.

We are only using Microsoft Intune because it came with our Office 365 license.

I rate Microsoft Intune a five out of ten.
