Head IT Engineering at a financial services firm with 501-1,000 employees
Effective data security, useful manager, and simple installation
Pros and Cons
- "The one feature we find most useful is the Mobile Application Manager. There are two types, we have the complete MDM and the Mobile Application Manager(MAM). We don't give our users phones, it is their own personal phone, and we need to allow them to have access to the company detail on their phone. We need to create a balance between their own personal data and the company data. We deploy the Mobile Application Manager for them so that we won't be able to interfere with their own personal data."
- "In the next release, I would like a feature to be able to properly lock down the device. For example, if an attacker or somebody steals the phone, you can be sure that the pin cannot be broken."
What is our primary use case?
We use Microsoft Intune to secure our mobile access when you're assessing your data from your mobile. Additionally, we use the solution to limit people from transferring files to people that are not part of our domain, and secure company data from exposure.
What is most valuable?
The one feature we find most useful is the Mobile Application Manager. There are two types, we have the complete MDM and the Mobile Application Manager(MAM). We don't give our users phones, it is their own personal phone, and we need to allow them to have access to the company detail on their phone. We need to create a balance between their own personal data and the company data. We deploy the Mobile Application Manager for them so that we won't be able to interfere with their own personal data.
What needs improvement?
We are always working with Microsoft on improvements. Improvement is not something that is static, we are always looking for a dynamic way of working with Microsoft. We have a support and enterprise agreement with Microsoft. Every quarter, we review the performance of all our solutions and then we ask for further improvement.
In the next release, I would like a feature to be able to properly lock down the device. For example, if an attacker or somebody steals the phone, you can be sure that the pin cannot be broken.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Microsoft Intune for approximately four years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I have found Microsoft Intune to be stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Microsoft Intune is scalable.
How was the initial setup?

I would advise others to ensure that the technical people are well versatile and trained, especially the technical people that will implement Microsoft Intune.
I rate Microsoft Intune a nine out of ten.

Works at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees
We use this primarily for security on our devices. It is cost effective.
Pros and Cons
- "It is a helpful tool to manage BYOD policies."
- "There are a few security features that are not available in Microsoft Intune, when compared to other products."
What is our primary use case?
We use this primarily for security on our devices. We use this product because it came with the bundle from Microsoft.
How has it helped my organization?
By using Microsoft Intune, I can control my Outlook on my phone. Whenever I try to open any file attatchment, it will be more secure. There are additional security precautions it provides with photos, as well.
What is most valuable?
The security features are valuable to us. We have a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) policy at our organization. Many employees need help managing these devices. Microsoft Intune helps us manage MDM (Mobile Device Management). We find it provides MAM (Mobile Application Management) to a lesser degree.
What needs improvement?
The MAM feature could be improved. In addition, the security of photo sharing could be improved.
For how long have I used the solution?
One to three years.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is very scalable. Our organization has over 26,000 employees.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Microsoft Intune is a cost effective choice. It is less expensive than other products on the market.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We also looked at VMware AirWatch.

Senior Technical Engineer at a tech services company with 1,001-5,000 employees
We have a BYOD policy at our company, and this solution helps us manage devices. It needs help with reporting.
Pros and Cons
- "It is a very helpful solution."
- "We have a BYOD policy, and this solution helps us manage our devices."
- "I think that there is room for improvement with the reporting. If this is done, it will be a better product."
What is our primary use case?
We have several different use cases. We have a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) policy for corporate owned devices, and managing those devices is our responsibility.
What is most valuable?
It is a very helpful and easy solution. When deploying different configuration policies and compliance policies it is helpful. In addition, deployment of applications on devices is a valuable feature.
What needs improvement?
I think that there is room for improvement with the reporting. If this is done, it will be a better product.
For how long have I used the solution?
One to three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I have not encountered any issues with stability of this product.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is quite scalable. It is quite easily able to extend the capabilities of whatever you want to do. And, it is not always visible to the end customer.
How are customer service and technical support?
I have used technical support in the past. When considering the seniority level of the tech support, I think they are quite good in comparison to other products. They are quick to respond to our needs.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We previously used VMware Airwatch.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The purchase of the product was handled by someone else in our company. I do not have experience with pricing of the product.
What other advice do I have?
We received Intune with a bundle of Microsoft products.
Disclosure: I am a real user, and this review is based on my own experience and opinions.
Technical Lead-Infrastructure Operations at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
Autopilot is a great bonus as is the real-time feature
Pros and Cons
- "Remote Wipe and Autopilot is one of the best features."
- "Lacking ability to leverage more iOS device management internally."
What is our primary use case?
The use case for this solution varies depending on the user's requirement. Some are only interested in MDM, while others are interested in managing Windows plus Mac. It really depends. We are partners and provide on-prem, cloud and hybrid services to our customers. I'm tech lead infrastructure operations.
What is most valuable?
Lately I've been working on the Remote Wipe and Autopilot. Autopilot is one of the best features because we can use it during remote migration. It especially helps in this pandemic situation where we don't need any end-user computing engineer support. If someone wants to remix a machine, we can initiate it remotely.
What needs improvement?
An improvement would be if we were able to leverage more iOS device management internally. My goal is to manage all the tools in one centralized tool. Intune does 30 percent of Mac management, but if it could have complete management including patching and automating for Mac devices, that would be good.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been using this solution for three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
This is a stable solution.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
This is a scalable solution.
How are customer service and technical support?
I have been trying to contact technical support but haven't been able to reach anyone. I have a couple of questions to which I haven't been able to get any answers.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is pretty straightforward.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The cost is fair but it would be helpful if they would segregate the licenses. There are a lot of features that many of our customers don't need but have to pay for because it comes as a bundle package and we're unable to exclude anything that is not necessary.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I also work with Jamf Pro but you can't compare the two because Jamf Pro doesn't have real-time features and it doesn't do most of the things that Intune does.
What other advice do I have?
If a customer is looking for a macOS solution, I would for sure recommend Jamf Pro. If it is for Windows and macOS in a combined environment, then I would recommend Intune for managing it. The consideration is based on the customer's macOS family, based on how many users they have. If they have 100 users, then we can still manage it through Intune. If it's a complex environment, for sure we'd need Jamf Pro.
I would rate this solution an eight out of 10.

Good monitoring and reporting but needs to work with other platforms outside of Microsoft
Pros and Cons
- "The solution is stable."
- "It's only good for a Microsoft environment."
What is our primary use case?
We primarily use the solution for both deployment and operating system deployment, and also as security for patching.
What is most valuable?
Its most valuable aspect is it is very connected with the Microsoft ecosystem.
The solution is stable.
It has the capability to scale.
The monitoring and reporting are okay.
What needs improvement?
It's only good for a Microsoft environment. While it works very well for Microsoft users but if you have other kinds of operating systems, it's very painful to use.
They need to take into consideration the Linux operating system and not only the Microsoft operating system.
The solution needs better patching across applications.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been dealing with the solution for seven or eight years at this point. It's been a while.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is stable. The performance is good. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. it's quite reliable for the most part.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
In terms of scaling, it can scale more or less. It is scalable, however, you need a bigger infrastructure to achieve this scalability, which is not the case with other products.
How are customer service and support?
Technical support is pretty good. We are mostly satisfied with the support on offer.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We've used Microsoft Endpoint Manager and Ivanti Endpoint. With Ivanti, it's a much more open system for different kinds of IT infrastructure. Whatever the operating system, whatever the application, it's good. It's easier also to deploy as well. You don't need a big infrastructure to deploy Ivanti Endpoint. The ability of Ivanti to have an extension for the ITSM solution is good.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
If you consider a Microsoft bundle in the operating system, it's pretty interesting in terms of pricing. If you're considering it as a standalone, it's difficult to sell, due to the price.
What other advice do I have?
We use both cloud and on-premises deployments.
We're quite satisfied with this product.
I would rate the solution at a seven out of ten. We've mostly been happy with the product.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Public Cloud

Easy to deploy mobile device management solution; agile, stable, and scalable product
Pros and Cons
- "Agile and easy to deploy MDM solution that covers the maximum number of policies. Stable, scalable, and with knowledgeable technical support."
- "What would make this product better is adding more security policies and features in the next upgrade."
What is our primary use case?
We're using Microsoft Intune for MDM (mobile device management).
It's also used for securing devices. This solution also lets you access your corporate data on mobile devices. You can secure and ensure that whatever data you're accessing and using from mobile devices is in a secure channel, that the data is between your end user and your cloud provider.
There are certain policies you can set up, that can go on both the device level and application level.
What is most valuable?
What I like most about Microsoft Intune is that it's agile and easy to deploy. I also like that it covers the maximum number of policies.
What needs improvement?
Microsoft Intune is doing well. They're adding endpoints, so it's good that they're covering that, and they're more stable. What I'd like to see in their next upgrade is more in the context of today's security policies and what's needed, for them to keep adding features based on that, e.g. boosting security, so they can keep on adding security features, and that is the best they can do.
For how long have I used the solution?
We've been deploying Microsoft Intune to customers for four years now.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Microsoft Intune is a stable solution.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I find Microsoft Intune scalable.
How are customer service and support?
The technical support for Microsoft Intune was knowledgeable.
How was the initial setup?
The setup for this solution was straightforward. It was quick and it was easy, but it would still depend on the policies.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
You have to pay for a Microsoft Intune license. It's a user-based subscription. You can go for a monthly or a yearly payment. It's up to the customer.
What other advice do I have?
We have the maximum number of clients using Microsoft Intune. For deployment and maintenance, it depends on the customers and the number of devices they have, and the policies, e.g. they can have one, two, or three resources for deploying and maintaining this solution.
I'm recommending Microsoft Intune to people who want to start using it. They can go for it for one reason: the Microsoft ecosystem. My advice to people who are looking into implementing this solution is for them to know first what they want to achieve from it, before they make their decision.
My rating for Microsoft Intune is eight out of ten.
