We have some security policies pushed to our laptops, and we use Microsoft Intune to mainly monitor if they are up to date. The reason why we use it is to keep the patch levels on par for our end points.

Microsoft Intune
March 2025

Learn what your peers think about Microsoft Intune. Get advice and tips from experienced pros sharing their opinions. Updated: March 2025.
844,944 professionals have used our research since 2012.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using Microsoft Intune for half a year or so.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is a stable solution.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Microsoft Intune is a scalable solution, and we have about 142 users.
We've still got a few more end points to roll it out on, but our increase will be in functionality. Now, we're only looking at updates, but in principle, we can actually push security policies as well.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was straightforward and easy to roll out.
What about the implementation team?
Our own technical staff implemented it, and it took about one month.
What other advice do I have?
I would advise that you educate your staff first before rolling it out. Give them ample education and training on how to implement it and on how it's going to be used.
The biggest lesson I learned from using Microsoft Intune is that the central administration con dashboard is very easy to use and provides very good oversight on all we want to monitor.
I would rate Microsoft Intune at nine on a scale from one to ten because it's so easy to use and easy to rollout with low impact on users.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Public Cloud
Disclosure: My company has a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer: Partner

Associate Architect-Information Security at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
Unified endpoint management that has the flexibility of stand-alone components
Pros and Cons
- "This product offers an alternative solution to other UEM (Unified Endpoint Management) solutions."
- "Maturity makes it a stable product."
- "The reporting needs to be a bit more interactive."
What is our primary use case?
We are VMware and Microsoft partners, so we offer services around their products.
We are using Intune internally but we are leveraging it for our customers as well. That is a different story. One part of Intune is within our company, but we are also providing services around Intune and Workspace One for our customers.
For us, Intune is on the public cloud. For our clients, it depends on the requirements and it varies from customer to customer. Some clients' requirements are deployed in private cloud mode or the hybrid setup. It depends. Requirements differ from industry to industry. If a company is BFSI (Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance), then they will be looking for a private cloud solution. If it is something which is not BFSI or maybe some industrial interest, they might go with the public cloud.
In the end, most of our instances are in the public cloud unless there is some compliance requirement. Otherwise, the accounts are mostly in the public cloud to conform to regulations.
Intune is used essentially to facilitate the ability of enterprise organizations to manage their endpoints. It is for end-user computing or UEM (Unified Endpoint Management) solutions.
How has it helped my organization?
One of the major advantages of using Intune is for our ISO (International Organization for Standardization) certification. We have to meet requirements for ISO 27001 and 27002 and part of that is that we need to have a proper control mechanism for endpoints and the users who are using those endpoints. The other requirement is that we need to manage the workforce. We have to manage their time to understand how long they have been working, how long their device was on, when they were working, et cetera. So we use some other products that compliment Intune to gather the data on that.
For example, we have something called Time Doctor. We use it to monitor how long people have been working. We get reports that detail how long their devices have been on. Then there are different ways we can leverage these results and statistics. For example, we can compare the uptime of the device and uptime of Time Doctor. With that, we can understand how long an employee was working on something, but how much more time the machine was up in addition to the work period. That shows the period of time that he or she was not using Time Doctor.
The other thing is we can remotely access a device. For example, say we have to do some troubleshooting because a user is having an issue. We can remotely log in via Intune to troubleshoot the issue, as long as the device is accessible. Obviously, that can only happen if there is no issue with the internet and connectivity and services. But we can remotely access the device and troubleshoot the issue securely.
Those are some of the different use cases.
What is most valuable?
I guess in our company we are using most of the features in Intune. What we use it for is to control the endpoints. We publish some selected applications and the end-users are only able to download and install those applications. They are not allowed to install or use any other applications other than what we provide. We do compliance checking. We run assessments periodically on the endpoints using Intune, and Intune generates reports. Sometimes we need those reports to qualify for our ISO certifications.
It is a similar thing for customers as well. There is a different requirement but it is a similar idea. For example, if we are engaged with an oil and gas company, they have back-office stations and point-of-sale solutions. In this case, those are Windows systems. What they used to do is they had to manage those solutions manually. They had a contract with some third party. The third-party would go on the sites if there was an issue or something, and maintenance and delivery were all manual. They did not have any EMS (Endpoint Management Solution) at all. The only thing they had was something called a radiant configuration management server. That was only used for configuration purposes, not for maintenance or other troubleshooting.
The concern and the requirement over delivery was raised because of COVID. No one was able to go to the sites to do the troubleshooting, maintenance, and delivery. The only solution that they had was to engage with us to deploy these solutions on their endpoints. They did not all go with Intune, some went with Workspace One, which is also a UEM solution. So they wanted us to deploy UEM on AWS public cloud, then connect it, wire their MPLS (Multi-Protocol Label Switching) network to the end-point spots and box devices in order to manage them.
What needs improvement?
The generic answer to what can be improved is that I hope that the reporting needs to be a bit more interactive.
For how long have I used the solution?
In our company, we have been using Intune for the past three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I think Intune has been in the market for a long time now. That maturity makes it pretty much stable because it has been through so many iterations.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Until now, we did not have any concern with respect to scalability within whatever we have done either for our organization or for our clients. We have done installations for bigger companies, for smaller workforces within bigger companies, but not for the larger endpoints. We do not know how well it scales in every direction and if scaling will cause any problems. We have not come across those things.
In our organization, we probably have 250 to 300 people who are using the product. We will probably increase that usage in the future, but it depends. We were planning to introduce Microsoft ATP with Intune for advanced threat protection, which compliments the security part. Because Intune does not have advanced threat protection capabilities on its own this resolves that issue. There may be other considerations in the future that influence the importance of Intune to what we need it for and how we proceed.
How are customer service and technical support?
We are Microsoft partners and we have a different support model with Microsoft than a typical client will. We have not had any issues with our support team and they have worked well with us up to this point. We have a different channel than the partners who need to communicate with Microsoft another way.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
It is a tricky thing to answer exactly what I have used that either was prior to or a substitution for Intune. That depends on different things and factors. First of all, Workspace One is definitely highly scalable, that I know. Workspace One also has a lot of integration options wherein we can have a lot of peripheral tools. Workspace One actually started with only UEM, but it is now not limited to UEM only.
Intune, is only a UEM. So Workspace One has one integration as UEM, but it has many other things. Apart from that, it has Workspace One Intelligence, it has Workspace One Assist, et cetera. There are four different parts that can be integrated with Workspace One and they can work together for a highly scalable, highly secure, and highly analytical solution.
Microsoft also has solutions. It is just that they are different solutions implemented in a different way. For example, ATP (Advanced Threat Protection) Microsoft is for advanced threat protection. WAD is for virtual desktops. They do not have the same type of tight integrations as Workspace One. All of these Microsoft products work separately. In Workspace One, all the products compliment each other and all the products can be combined more like modules under Workspace One. They can push their findings to Workspace One Intelligence where all data intelligence can be done. Auto remediation can be done. We can get findings from VMware because now Workspace One security is there to make sure that this is secure under the umbrella. VMware Carbon Black is also the same in that it can send its findings to Workspace One Intelligence. So the integration is the part that is handled differently. Workspace One has many features. Microsoft also has those features. It is just that it is a different way to orchestrate. In Microsoft, it is not under one umbrella. In VMware, that is under one umbrella, which is Workspace One.
The pros and cons are different because both approaches have their own advantages and disadvantages. Both have solutions for each of the functions. For example, each has advanced threat protection and all those capabilities. If you stay working with that family of solutions, you do not have a problem.
Now say, for example, a company went with Workspace One because they wanted to leverage UEM. They adopted some other modules as well with it to create solutions for problems or needs that they want to solve. They have to have Workspace One for this solution and they can not work with it separately. That might be a cost factor because they can not work with one tool only, they have to make the license for two products because they do not work separately.
For Microsoft, since the products are completely separate, customers can choose which one to go with and only use that. They can go with only one product, or they can add any of the others. They do not need to have the central component to bring them together.
So that might be an advantage or disadvantage in using one product or the other depending on the use case.
How was the initial setup?
We did not experience any complexity in the initial deployment and there was no problem with the installation, I do not think. The complexity definitely depends on what you are trying to accomplish. I do not remember exactly because I do not directly deal with deployment anymore. I am actually leading it. We have a team that deploys the product. I do not look over their shoulder to know how much time it takes exactly and what factors it requires for successful deployment.
What about the implementation team?
We did the deployment by ourselves without the help of consultants or vendors, that I know. We are system integrators. We have the capabilities to do things for customers. We did it ourselves. The only thing is, we have a separate team for the Microsoft product installations. Especially for something like Microsoft Intune, we need to have a special expertise. Something called Microsoft Windows, virtual desktops, all of that needs someone to install it who is intimate with the application. Microsoft Azure is something that can be used for different Microsoft technologies and solutions. We have a different team that we will put on the implementation of these products depending on the requirements.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The pricing for Microsoft Intune is reasonable. Our clients are satisfied.
What other advice do I have?
If someone is looking to have a more integrated result, they are looking for many other things like EDR (Enhanced Data Detection and Response). It is probably better to go with Workspace One because they have that under one banner. Obviously, if there is something under one banner, the integrations are simple, they are seamless, and they complement each other.
I do not think I will have a good answer for what advice to give because technically I have not used Intune myself for some time now. I have a team that works under me for this. I am at an architect-level position now. My perspective reflects that.
On a scale from one to ten (where one is the worst and ten is the best), I would rate Intune as an eight at least if you are only talking about a UEM solution. Personally, I am not very concerned about the reporting part, so I will consider it at eight. But if someone is looking for extensive reporting detail that is easy to understand. Interactive reporting that will give them better-tuned results, then obviously the rating might go down.
The only thing which I see that can be done to raise this product from an eight is to package Intune as a product under one umbrella. If that were to happen, it covers the whole of end-user computing and security solutions.
At the moment, these are two separate things when using Intune. There may be another way to accomplish this under the one umbrella if you go with Intune. For example, if there is an add-on within Intune to leverage containerized security, auto containment, and all those things. This would be a more flexible solution if that were the case. At the moment, Intune is not required to be installed as a client. As a client in the system, it can communicate with servers and do some auto containments, endpoint detection, and response. If there was a separate solution that could be added as a paid solution to create the umbrella, you have created both solutions simultaneously.
The main reason this problem came into the picture was because of this COVID pandemic. IT teams and security teams do not go well together normally. There has to be one solution which can offer both. It can be for both IT architects, IT technical support, and security support. That is the solution that can be leveraged for both security and end-user computing. It is simple.

It offers great visibility into automated deployment solutions
Pros and Cons
- "It's not working perfectly, but Microsoft's Autopilot offers great visibility into automated deployment solutions."
- "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."
What is our primary use case?
My company requires control over the deployment process of new computers, and we have set up some profiles for specific applications to configure the access policies and define permissions for certain objects or documents. That's the most common use case.
What is most valuable?
It's not working perfectly, but Microsoft's Autopilot offers great visibility into automated deployment solutions.
What needs improvement?
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. Microsoft could add an integration for managing Intel vPro chipsets. That would be nice.
For how long have I used the solution?
I started working with Intune three years ago.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I wasn't involved in some of the biggest deployments, but I think the solution is capable of handling various complex scenarios and architectures. We'll probably increase usage, but we don't have any plans in the near future.
How are customer service and support?
Microsoft support is very good.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I previously used a different management solution called SOTI MobiControl, but I didn't switch because Microsoft Intune was better. I just changed companies.
How was the initial setup?
Implementing Microsoft Intune is easy. Total deployment takes about one to two weeks. You access the portal, buy the subscription, and configure everything. We have three administrators managing the solution.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I'm researching VMware Workspace ONE, a new VM solution. I think it's interesting, but I don't have enough experience to give specific feedback about that tool.
What other advice do I have?
I rate Microsoft Intune nine out of 10. I think my company needs to define the use cases for each user type and organization type. For example, we have to consider if the client has policies configured with Active Directory and assess to identify which policies are required in the new management solution then configure only the settings that they require.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Public Cloud

It reduces the load on our on-prem Active Directory by having everything go through one panel
Pros and Cons
- "I like the group policy management feature, which performs application monitoring and device enrollment."
- "It would be nice to have a location tracker for the mobile device management tool. I'm not sure if it exists but hasn't been configured or if it's missing, but we've been unable to utilize the location features."
What is our primary use case?
I use Intune for endpoint management. We manage our workstations via Intune because we have remote users on and off the corporate network. It's deployed across over 500 Windows workstations. We're also trying to incorporate cell phones, but we haven't reached that point as yet.
How has it helped my organization?
Intune reduces the load on our on-prem Active Directory by having everything go to one Intune panel. That way, we can configure group policies, deploy applications, and manage devices. It has really improved our operations. In the past, the device had to be on our corporate network, but now we can provision a device remotely.
What is most valuable?
I like the group policy management feature, which performs application monitoring and device enrollment.
What needs improvement?
It would be nice to have a location tracker for the mobile device management tool. I'm not sure if it exists but hasn't been configured or if it's missing, but we've been unable to utilize the location features.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Intune for about two months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Intune is pretty stable. It's also great for helping us maintain compliance in our environment. If it's a hybrid deployment, you should be fine as long as the sync is running.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Intune is easy to scale because it's in the cloud. There are no limits on what you can manage.
How are customer service and support?
Microsoft support isn't too bad, but it depends on the department you called. Intune support is better than support for Defender for Endpoint. I would rate it about a six out of 10.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I was previously using on-premise Active Directory with group policy management. Intune puts your dashboard and panels in the cloud, but they sync with the on-prem Active Directory. Most of the management is done from in the cloud. All we need is internet access to manage the devices.
How was the initial setup?
Setting up Intune was straightforward. Microsoft provided all the materials we needed, and we had support from their team. We had about five guys working on the solution. It can be from one to five guys, depending on the scale of the solution.
What about the implementation team?
We went through the reseller.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The price isn't too bad
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Yes, we've tried ManageEngine and SolarWinds.
What other advice do I have?
I rate Intune 8.5 out of 10. My advice to future users is to perform a proper inventory before enrollment. This is essential cost-wise. You need a good idea of how much it will cost per month so you don't overrun your budget.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Hybrid Cloud

Its integration with the Microsoft ecosystem is the key benefit, but onboarding of endpoint devices is not straightforward
Pros and Cons
- "The key benefit of Intune is its integration with the Microsoft ecosystem."
- "Onboarding of endpoint devices is not straightforward. The onboarding process was a little heavier than I thought it would be. That's the key improvement area. Obviously, the more control you have over the devices, the better it is."
What is our primary use case?
We're using it for endpoints or mobile devices. We are mainly using it for endpoints. For mobile devices, we are mainly using Workspace ONE.
What is most valuable?
The key benefit of Intune is its integration with the Microsoft ecosystem.
What needs improvement?
Onboarding of endpoint devices is not straightforward. The onboarding process was a little heavier than I thought it would be. That's the key improvement area. Obviously, the more control you have over the devices, the better it is.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using this solution for about three years. I use it on a weekly basis.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I didn't have any issues.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is easy to scale. Getting used to using it instead of SCCM is an interesting shift because you don't manage policies the same way. There is a difference, so the scale of that is also interesting to address.
We probably have more than a hundred users.
How are customer service and support?
Their tech support is decent. Sometimes, getting to your first contact can take a little bit longer, but after that, it's pretty good.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Previously, we were using Workspace ONE, but it was cost-prohibitive. We moved because of Microsoft's ecosystem. It was a business decision. The integration of the systems made it easier to stay with something like Intune.
How was the initial setup?
It's not trivial, but it's okay. It's not too complicated. You do have to make sure you read your documentation, and you get an idea of what you're trying to do.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
It's reasonable. They're not giving it away, but it's reasonable.
What other advice do I have?
If you can get help from Microsoft or if you can use the fast-track process, it would definitely be worth your while.
I would rate it a seven out of 10.

Good protection policies, documentation, and scalability, but needs more group policies and better reporting, stability, and support
Pros and Cons
- "Its protection policies are most valuable. It protects mobile devices as well as individual apps. It is pretty scalable, and its documentation is also pretty good. It is also pretty straightforward to deploy."
- "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."
What is our primary use case?
It is used for mobile device management. We use it for mobile phones and even PCs. We have its latest version.
What is most valuable?
Its protection policies are most valuable. It protects mobile devices as well as individual apps.
It is pretty scalable, and its documentation is also pretty good. It is also pretty straightforward to deploy.
What needs improvement?
They need to add more group policies. I know that they are already working on it, but this is something that I would like them to do quicker. Intune currently does not have many group policies that you can deploy. It is quite limited in terms of group policies. For example, if I want to disable the password manager on my browser, I can get support in Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, and Edge, but not with Firefox. It would be ideal if they can add some of these things.
Its reporting, which is very limited at the moment, also needs improvement. I can see basic information, such as how many devices are enrolled, but I can't get customized information. 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. There are sync issues between the admin side and the user side.
They need to provide better support for complicated issues. They also have a long turnaround time for resolution in regards to overall escalation.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using this solution for three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It needs improvement in terms of stability. Sometimes, when you register a device in Intune, it doesn't show up instantly on the engine portal on the admin side. There are sync issues between the admin side and the user side. It is not very stable. Sometimes, it works instantly, and sometimes, something goes wrong, and you get stuck there. It is not consistent.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is pretty scalable because you can also integrate on-premises stuff. You can also integrate it with SCCM.
How are customer service and technical support?
When I contact technical support, I normally find the junior engineers to be not that good. They're just good with the basic issues. If there is something complex, you have to escalate the case, but they take a lot of time to escalate it. After the escalation, they are able to fix the issue, but the overall time they take to solve an issue is too much. Sometimes, the solution is very simple, but the process of escalation takes too long.
How was the initial setup?
I find it pretty straightforward, which could be because I have been working on this solution for three years. It mostly involves clicking the Next button. It will also depend on your requirements and policies, but it is generally straightforward.
What other advice do I have?
Microsoft documentation is a very good place to start. They have done a great job for beginners who want to deploy Intune in their organization. They have done a good job in describing different scenarios in the documentation. I would advise starting with the documentation and doing some certification as well.
I would rate Microsoft Intune a seven out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Public Cloud
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
Microsoft Azure

A cloud-based management tool with a useful device management feature
Pros and Cons
- "It has a useful device management feature."
- "It would be better if I could integrate it with my core group policy. I would like to have a group policy in my current environment, which has strict control, but those things are still missing. Although it has maximum compliance and security, it's not available on-premise."
What is most valuable?
It has a useful device management feature.
What needs improvement?
I guess they have been working a lot on the current features, but the active directory core features like group policy management are still missing. It would be better if I could integrate it with my core group policy.
I would like to have a group policy in my current environment, which has strict control, but those things are still missing. Although it has maximum compliance and security, it's not available on-premise.
Integration with other products could also be better. If I want to integrate with AirWatch, I have to do a lot of manual stuff and a lot of middleware changes. Technical support could also be better.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Microsoft Intune for the last three years.
How are customer service and technical support?
The support is not very good. It's very poor. At least at implementation time, Microsoft should support or should have a team who can support instantly or rapidly. But the process remains the same for the support, and I have to call, and I have to wait for four to eight hours, especially if I'm migrating from AirWatch, Mobility, or some other applications.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
AirWatch is a bit complicated, especially during a disaster or when something happens. Their technical support is very poor, and Intune is far better.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is easy. We can complete the Intune implementation in one hour, but for the base configuration, we require Microsoft support. Because at the end of the day, it's a cloud product, and we don't have many resources on it.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The price is reasonable, but they should lower it a bit to make it more competitive. It's cheaper than AirWatch and other products, but I still feel like Microsoft can make a base version or with Exchange online or a la carte only Intune version which will be useful. A customer who doesn't want to go full-fledged E3 or E5 can take out or consume an Intune solution only for their purpose, and we want to target that customer.
What other advice do I have?
On a scale from one to ten, I would give Microsoft Intune a nine.

Great features and use cases with an easy licensing renewal process
Pros and Cons
- "We have found the solution is capable of scaling."
- "It should be easier to define policies and comply with those policies."
What is our primary use case?
We are deploying and rolling all kinds of devices - our laptops, our tablets, our smartphones. We are using it locally here in Holland, in the Netherlands, and we are expanding the use to all business units abroad.
What is most valuable?
There are a lot of features and use cases. We can use it for health status, access control, deploying, et cetera. There are many features for using it.
Technical support is good.
We have found the solution is capable of scaling.
The stability has been good.
What needs improvement?
It should be easier to define policies and comply with those policies.
The initial setup is complex.
We aren't lacking any features at this point.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The stability is good. We haven't had issues. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
As a SaaS, it's scalable. However, we don't really work on scaling it up.
While the solution is pretty ubiquitous, most people in the company don't realize they are using it. While the custodians use it, the end-point users are unaware of it.
How are customer service and support?
Technical support has been helpful and responsive and we are happy with the level of service on offer.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Previously, we used MobileIron. Some of our business units also use Cisco Meraki and several others. We are working towards using one or two globally. We're moving to Microsoft as part of our larger global strategy.
How was the initial setup?
The implementation process is very complex due to the global use of the product. It started small. They used naming conventions just for the home country, so we had to deal with redesigns of the naming conventions for global use. Yeah.
In terms of the deployment itself, it's software as a service. The product itself is immediately available, however, onboarding devices is a huge effort. That's mostly the case at this moment. We used Microsoft Intune, before that we used MobileIron, and we did migration for MobileIron to Intune, so we had a quick start originally.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
We renewed our contract with Microsoft about a few months ago. It's pretty simple to renew. We have various licenses for Microsoft including, for example, for Office, Defender, et cetera. I'd rate the pricing and ease of renewal at an eight out of ten.
What other advice do I have?
The solution is a SaaS and therefore, we are on the latest version of the solution right now.
I'd advise new users to start with a good, high-level design, functional design, from about the naming of conventions, policies, categories, device categories, et cetera.
I would rate the solution overall at an eight out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
