Microsoft Intune Reviews

Intune is a cloud-based solution for MDM and endpoint management.

The most important thing for me is the autopilot feature. Other products have this capability but they have to first integrate with Azure. Because Intune is a Microsoft product, you don't have to do anything explicitly to get this feature working properly.

Microsoft really needs to improve the reporting in Intune. It doesn't come anywhere close to VMware Workspace when it comes to their reports. I am sure that Microsoft will improve but at the moment, they are underperforming in terms of reporting.

There is a feature called dynamic groups, which populates users and computers based on a query that is written, and it runs at some interval. I would like to see this updated more frequently so that the users don't have to fair for too long before computers appear in the group.

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. Although it can run in 64-bit mode, I would like to see this supported natively.

I have been working with Microsoft Intune for about two years. I have changed companies since that time and we are now evaluating Intune for use in my new organization.

Intune is a stable product and it has improved a lot over the past year. This is something that Microsoft is always working on, and I think that it will continue to improve.

We have not had the chance to test scalability. We will have the real results when it is put into the field.

I have not been directly in contact with the support for Intune. Rather, when I have needed assistance, I went through a partner channel.

I set up Intune without any assistance.

The price of Intune is included with the license for Office 365, so we don't have to pay anything extra for it.

We are currently evaluating both Microsoft Intune and VMware Workspace, and we will choose the one that best suits our use cases. Our plan is to implement one of these products in a couple of months.

One of the conditions is that we have to make sure that it supports all of the devices that we have in the enterprise. For example, we have Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS devices that need support.

Second, we need to have the autopilot experience for the users running under Windows. If somebody joins the company and they are provided with a laptop then we need to have it set up correctly. Normally, when it ships from a vendor such as Dell, Lenovo, or HP, it will come with their software pre-installed. Given the current situation with employees working at home, the laptop ships directly to where they live. At this point, with autopilot, they should be able to log in using their cloud credentials as soon as the device is switched on.

Once logged in, all of the details will be picked up from Azure, including the policies, updates, and other mandatory software such as Skype, Zoom, and Microsoft Office. Essentially, it eliminates all of the laptop setup and configuration that used to happen inside the organization.

Intune supports autopilot natively through Azure, and VMware Workspace is on par with this as well.

Next, it should have good reporting features. All products are able to generate reports, but we should be able to customize them in the way that we want.

We also have to have good security, where we can push all of the security configuration and policies that our organization has. This will differ based on the department. For example, security in banking or finance will be different from the security in manufacturing.

Finally, we should be able to deploy applications all over the cloud.

I think that in comparison, VMware Workspace is a more mature product than those offered by competing vendors. It has been developed very intelligently. The UI is good, with fancy graphics. They also have Smart Groups, and a different way of deploying applications, which are very good features.

VMware Workspace also has a slight advantage over Intune when it comes to managing multiple hierarchies. Intune does not support this type of structure, where you can have sublevels. For example, I can have a root-level like Europe with sublevels such as the UK, Germany, and France. 

The suitability of this product depends on your environment, requirements, and use cases. If you have a reporting-extensive company, for example, then you may need to look for other products. Similarly, if you are a multi-hierarchy organization with a presence around the globe, then Intune may disappoint you.

Given all of the factors and things to consider, including features and cost, I would say that Intune has a slight edge over competing products.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

The solution has a holistic approach. The device management, application management, identity management, and cybersecurity features are valuable. It brings all of the endpoint and security management tools into one place. It provides complete integration with Microsoft products. It provides full endpoint visibility and IT controls across device platforms.

It makes the security measurements easier to maintain. The user experience is sufficiently good. It helps secure hybrid work and protect data. The tool provides an add-on that integrates artificial intelligence and Microsoft Graph. It is a good development. The product has affected IT productivity in our organization.

It's a good platform for management and security for all kinds of devices. There is less trouble for the users so they can do more. For the IT team, the product provides a guarantee of security. The solution has reduced the risk of security breaches by 30%. It has helped us save on direct and indirect costs. We are a global organization. We need fewer resources and are more secure due to the solution. There are much less incidents based on security.

The tool helps consolidate vendors. There is much more functionality that we can leverage. It has positively affected the security posture of the organization and licensing costs. The capabilities of Intune that are integrated with Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Security are very important. I work in environments that are completely Microsoft-dominated. The more we use Microsoft, the better the integration. It is easier to connect the different parts. I am satisfied with the product’s performance.

The add-ons must be integrated into the solution. They should not be separate add-ons. The add-ons have artificial intelligence and must be part of the base product.

I have been using the solution for very long.

I am satisfied with the product’s scalability.

The technical support is quite reasonable.

Neutral

The pricing is competitive, but it is not cheap. All the licenses are not cheap nowadays.

I have used AirWatch in my previous organization. The integration provided by Microsoft Intune is its biggest advantage over its competitors. Most of the integration with third-party tools is good.

I'm familiar with Microsoft Intune from the beginning. I have heard that the solution’s Tunnel for MAM feature enables users to use their private phones to make a secure connection to the company's network to access company resources. I haven’t used it yet. We are partners and customers. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Intune provides a platform for managing all our devices, including mobile iOS devices and PC workstations. It can also control some aspects of servers.

We can automatically enroll our devices with Intune. It helps us implement company-wide policies and ensure regulatory compliance because we can restrict how company devices are used. Intune improves security by enabling us to set conditional access policies for each device. 

Intune can wipe devices. For example, if a disgruntled employee wants to leak the data on their company phone, Intune can terminate their access and wipe the entire device with a click. Conditional access is another essential feature. 

You can set up two profiles on every device to keep personal data separate from company data, and the employee cannot copy data between them. This is a critical requirement for most companies to avoid the loss of sensitive data.  

Intune doesn't provide much control over Windows servers. It's something we struggle with.

I have worked with Intune for six years.

Intune is mostly stable. Microsoft guarantees 97 percent availability throughout the year, so it's pretty stable. 

Intune is scalable. 

I have used multiple endpoint management solutions in the past nine years. I also work with Jamf, a solution that focuses on iOS devices. Compared to Jamf, Intune also has some limitations when working with iOS. For example, Jamf can create specific policies for each iOS device, whereas Intune can't go that far. It also has role-based and device-based features. You can do more customization on iOS devices with Jamf. 

The initial installation isn't too difficult, but it can be complex if you have a large number of devices and need to do lots of customization. It is more complicated to onboard Windows PCs versus mobile devices, which are pretty easy.

The number of staff members required also varies according to the job and the timeline for deployment. For example, I would probably need additional resources if I'm enrolling 20,000 devices in under a month. However, we don't need too many resources if we have enough time

Intune is a cloud-based solution, so Microsoft is responsible for maintaining the infrastructure. We only need to handle the administrative and configuration adjustments on our side. 

Most clients get the ROI they expect, with the exception of those organizations that primarily use Mac and iOS. Jamf is more appropriate for iOS users. You may need to buy two solutions if you have a mixture.

Intune is reasonably priced. When we design a solution, we always compare costs for the client, but I don't know the price of Intune off the top of my head right now. It varies depending on the size of your organization, the market, and the reseller. You can buy a stand-alone license for Intune, or it may be included in a 365 license. 

I rate Microsoft Intune nine out of 10. 

Before implementing Intune or any endpoint management solution, I recommend looking at your internal requirements. Are most of your devices iOS or Android? Do you need automated enrollment? Go for Intune if you're using mostly Android mobile devices and Windows PCs.

When using Microsoft Intune our main focus was on Office 365. Our Azure Active Directory was only held up for users. When we had implemented the endpoint user management in our workstations in a cloud environment, then we started to use Microsoft Intune on an everyday basis, such as remote connection, deploying workstations, Autopilot, and deploying applications. It is a great tool.

Microsoft Intune is a cloud solution. For an on-premise solution, you have SCCM from Microsoft. However, it is old and it will be an obsolete tool soon. There are other solutions such as ManageEngine. Microsoft Intune tool is in the cloud and we can manage everything. You can manage Azure AD, Intune, and not only mobile hand devices, such as iOS or Android, the main focus is on workstations. This is what makes the solution powerful.

I expect Microsoft Intune to have more features in the cloud because there are two major functionalities that we need to be added. This is software metering and license management. These functionalities, for now, must be on-premise. For this purpose, we have set up a SQL Server and I hope that in near future this option will be in the cloud in Microsoft Intune.

I have been using Microsoft Intune for approximately two years.

The stability of Microsoft Intune is great.

Microsoft Intune is highly scalable. When you configure your network connection, there are a lot of firewalls and you can optimize your internet speed. Everything works great. You can tune up some repository sizes with Microsoft because if you have large applications, such as AutoCAD, when you upload the images to the cloud it takes some time and it needs more space.

We had four people in my company that used Microsoft Intune on approximately 100 systems.

The technical support of Microsoft Intune is good.

I previously used BEAM for client management from an American company and SCCM from Microsoft. Additionally, I used ManageEngine and Lansweeper. Lansweeper was a light tool with similar functionality. We use it in combination with TeamViewer.

We have projects all over the world. It took us four months to implement Intune Microsoft Intune for approximately 100 clients in three countries. We implemented it in many locations, such as Germany in three cities, Croatia, and Bosnia, there is a total of 50 locations. Microsoft Intune is easy to work with.

The initial setup is not simple, you need a specialist to be involved that has the appropriate experience. This is not a solution where out of the box you run the executable file on your system and hit next, next, to finish the installation.

Microsoft Intune requires specialists to implement the solution. We used an external team of two engineer specialists that was dedicated to the project. I helped too because I have experience in plant management.

There is a license required to use the solution. If you're core users in Office 365, for example, you have Outlook email and E3 license, this is only email. You have to buy an EMS license to have Microsoft Intune. It is expensive.

I would recommend the solution to others.

I rate Microsoft Intune a nine out of ten.

I work for Mastersystem Infotama who is a Microsoft partner. I am an engineer, and I deploy Microsoft Intune in several companies. Our customers use Intune for their mobile device management. We also use Intune to protect devices accessing the application's corporate data. First, you must be compliant with the same criteria. If users connect with the corporate IP address, they only connect with username and password. But if they connect from a coffee shop IP address or IP addresses that aren't corporate, they will have to engage in multi-factor authentication.

I like that we can implement conditional access. Microsoft has conditional access for mobile device management, and we can categorize it as a corporate application or a personal application. We can protect it so users cannot copy from the corporate application to the personal application, but users can copy from the personal application to the corporate application. 

We can also make one file with different permission for different people. The name of the feature is Microsoft Azure Information Protection. We can configure it to help the user work from home. They can download the file, and they can operate this file in another place, but the corporate organization still protects it. 

We can also protect user access from a mobile phone. They cannot save the file to internal storage for the mobile phone. They only can save the file to OneDrive or SharePoint drive.

It would be better if Microsoft can reduce the cost of the license. as we know the Intune device subscription is licensed per device at a cost of $2 a month. but for the best to enhanced security and feature we must added add-on license or buy/upgrade to bundling license such as M365E5.

Microsoft Intune is a core product, and it's very stable

Scalability is good. It can adopt Android and iOS and manage macOS. We couldn't support macOS two years ago, but now we can.

Technical support is good. We get help from Microsoft support. For Microsoft Intune, if we buy the license, we can get support for free. We can create tickets for the problems. We can also report the problem in the Microsoft portal.

Microsoft Intune is essentially software as a service for mobile device management. To configure Microsoft Intune, we only have to register the domain name and register the DNS. We can log in to enroll the device with Microsoft Intune. After we register the DNS and the domain name, we configure the policies. All policies like user access and permissions. After that, the admin can send the license to every user.

The configuration takes one to five days. But it takes a long time to educate the users on how they can use it. This is because some things change after we implement Intune. Users may complain that they can't do what they did before, but it's better from a security perspective.

Microsoft will maintain it. The customer only maintains the policy and the license.

The price could be better. Microsoft Intune pricing is based on the number of users. Every user license is for 15 devices. consists of 5 devices for PC (Windows or Mac), 5 tablets, and 5 mobile phones (Android and iOS). 

My customers already know and use Microsoft, so they adopted Intune. They use Office 365 for secure collaboration between organizations. Microsoft is the preferred choice and has user confidence to work together securely.

MobileIron has two types of licenses. One is a SaaS-based model, and they provide support, and the other is a license for the on-premise solution. Microsoft Intune offers only a cloud solution.

If a customer already uses a Microsoft solution like Microsoft Office, or an email solution like Microsoft Exchange, it's better to use Microsoft Intune. But if they want an on-premise solution, they can choose another solution like  Mobile Iron or Airwatch solution.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Microsoft Intune a nine.

Intune is our primary tool for managing our devices, including security profiles, confirmation profiles, applications, deployment, updates, etc. It manages all of our workstations but not the servers. It helps us manage and monitor devices, but we use Microsoft Defender for threat discovery and things like that. It's all within the E5 license. We also manage Android and iOS devices. 

Previously, they were using SCCM. It's an on-prem server, so you must maintain, update, and secure it. With Intune, you don't have to manage anything. Everything is available through a console on the web, so I think it's way better.  Enrollment and deployment are easy. 

Intune helps us protect data on the end-user computers, but we need another solution for the servers that Intune does not cover. However, we group computers and the endpoints with the security panel and connect them to Microsoft Defender. Everything reported in Defender can be customized in the Intune security section, like the security rules, local rules, firewall rules, exclusions, etc. 

Intune reduces the risk of security breaches because we follow some well-known security baselines that we translate into configuration and security profiles and apply at large. It's helpful for pushing out security stuff.

Intune is effective because of the configuration management and endpoint security it provides. The graphical interface makes it easier to configure and deploy devices. 

Intune has some limitations when it comes to application updates for third-party applications. You can schedule an update, but when it's a package setup, you need to supercede and replace it each time.  

I have used Intune for three years.

I rate Intune nine out of ten for stability. 

I rate Intune eight out of ten for scalability.

I previously used Microsoft SCCM. 

Intune is all on the cloud. I wasn't there when they migrated. 

I would say Intune is totally worth what we pay for it because you can customize and do everything related to the configuration, security policies, monitoring, etc. 

 Intune is included in the Microsoft E5 license.

I rate Microsoft Intune eight out of ten. 

We use it for device compliance and posture, application control, and we use it for integration with our corporate devices.

It brings all of our endpoint and security management tools into one place and makes life a little bit easier. We're a Microsoft partner, and it integrates well and works quite well. We're also a Cisco partner, and it works well with Secure Endpoint and our existing Zscaler product.

Similarly, when it comes to our organization's security, it makes life easy.

Intune also helps reduce the risk of security breaches because we're making sure devices are patched and that firewalls are enabled. And that helps our organization save on costs.

While I don't think you can ever have full visibility and control, Intune certainly allows us to see the applications being used and tells us if things like Windows patches aren't applied to machines. It does a good job. That visibility makes life a little easier.

The user experience with Intune is pretty good, the same as with all Microsoft products, really. Once you're used to one, you can use all of them.

And it's not too bad for securing hybrid work and protecting data on company and BYO devices. As I said, we're using it in conjunction with our Zscaler deployment, so that obviously helps.

Some of the security posture limitations are not brilliant; they're not ideal, but they're not causing us a problem at the moment. It's the granularity: "Is your firewall on? Is BitLocker on?" It's not amazing granularity. But I've looked into other products, like Duo, and they're all similar.

I have been using Intune for four or five years.

We worked with Cisco network monitoring, using Cisco ASA with RSA deployment. It had its issues. It wasn't very user-friendly. If a device wasn't posture-compliant, for example, it wouldn't explain to the user what they needed to do. There was also a bit of limitation with the operation alongside things like antivirus software. It didn't work very well with Sophos and other applications.

Overall, Intune is not bad. It's okay.

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.
