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.

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.

Business Desktop Workspace in a serverless environment
Pros and Cons
  • "The ability to (somewhat) manage full Windows 10 computers including EXE-based or MSI-based application deployments using Azure Active Directory as Identity."
  • "Additional application deployment options e.g. MSI deployment with more complex parameters or additional side-by-side files, and non-MSI deployment options."

What is our primary use case?

Serverless Win10 with App deployment, Azure Active Directory and remote support. Can now co-manage devices with both Intune and Configuration Manager!

What is most valuable?

The ability to (somewhat) manage full Windows 10 computers including EXE-based or MSI-based application deployments using Azure Active Directory as Identity.

And NOW (last quarter 2017), the ability to co-manage computers with BOTH InTune and System Centre Configuration Manager allows complex application delivery and ConfigMgr reporting etc to add more value.

How has it helped my organization?

For our customer, it meant no on-premise systems configuration infrastructure or identity management services were required.

What needs improvement?

Logs and similar deployment/remediation detail for application delivery to Windows 10 computers should to be improved

Additional application deployment options e.g. MSI deployment with more complex parameters or additional side-by-side files, and non-MSI deployment options.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Unsure. Some application deployments to Windows 10 computers would not start for a long period, with no recourse but to wait and see.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Not relevant in our situation.

How are customer service and technical support?

It wasn’t necessary to escalate an any point.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We didn’t have a previous tool. The solution was required to extract a company from another as part of a demerger. The new entity was our customer.

How was the initial setup?

Application delivery to Windows 10 was straightforward for someone with prior System Centre Configuration Manager and application deployment skill sets.

What about the implementation team?

We are the vendor. Intune expertise was low at the start of the engagement, but we now have a fully developed Modern Management (Intune) practice.

What was our ROI?

Not calculated

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Consider the Microsoft Enterprise Mobility Suite rather than choosing specific sub-components, e.g. only Microsoft Intune.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We didn’t examine other tools.

What other advice do I have?

Allow sufficient time to pilot and test.

With the ability to now co-manage computers with BOTH InTune and System Centre Configuration Manager, you can pilot-test Intune without compromising on your proven systems management using ConfigMgr.

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.

Easy setup and good stability
Pros and Cons
  • "A great solution for anyone wanting a modern endpoint device management solution."
  • "Lacks the ability to deploy more ways of management, managing devices and processing the policies."

What is our primary use case?

The primary use case is to manage devices that are dedicated to processing as well as managing work stations and sales devices. I'm an Intune engineer and administrator and I implement this solution.  

What is most valuable?

This is a great solution for anyone wanting a modern endpoint device management solution.

What needs improvement?

I'd like to see an ability to deploy more ways of management, managing devices and processing the policies. 

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 solution is stable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability is good. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is very simple. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Licensing costs are based on the number of devices being used. 

What other advice do I have?

Indeed, it's a correct solution for any client who wants to use this modern endpoint device management solution.

I rate this product nine out of 10. 

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Hybrid Cloud

Very good technical support with great scalability and mobile acesss management
Pros and Cons
  • "The mobile application management, MAM, is the most useful aspect of the solution."
  • "Reporting could be improved. It needs to be more expensive and robust."

What is our primary use case?

We primarily implement the solution for our customers. It's mainly used by our clients for device management.

How has it helped my organization?

The product helps organizations have a model or place to allow users to access the corporate resources from any device that the user wants and in a highly secured way. That way, the data can be managed by the organization, whether the device is managed or not.

What is most valuable?

The mobile application management, MAM, is the most useful aspect of the solution.

The initial setup is very straightforward.

The solution is quite stable.

The product scales very, very well.

We've found the technical support to be excellent.

What needs improvement?

The legacy system management could use some improvement.

Reporting could be improved. It needs to be more expensive and robust.

Technical support could be a bit quicker to respond.

For how long have I used the solution?

We've used the solution for two years. It hasn't been an extremely long amount of time.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The product is stable. Microsoft, obviously, is a stable platform. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable in terms of performance.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is highly scalable. A company can expand the solution if it would like to.

How are customer service and technical support?

I'd rate the solution at a four out of five. It's mostly quite good. They are helpful and knowledgeable. However, The response times could improve. In general, we are mostly satisfied with the level of service provided to us.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is not overly complex or difficult. It is easy. The implementation is straightforward.

The deployment process is pretty quick. It takes a couple of days, and not quite a week.

What about the implementation team?

We can implement the solution for our clients.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Being a deployment or being a technical resource, I'm not that good in the pricing. It's not an aspect o the solution I directly deal with. I can't speak to the specific costs to a company.

What other advice do I have?

We are a global distributor for Microsoft. I am a consultant. I do deployment for my customers.

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

I would advise new users and organizations that they should follow the industry standard practices of configuring the policies and they can always highly rely on Microsoft for other security products as well.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Transparently enforces compliance policies and works well, but the initial setup requires user intervention
Pros and Cons
  • "The biggest thing for us is enforcing logins only from devices that are managed by Intune."
  • "Once it's configured it is unobtrusive, but it does take some hands-on to configure and deploy it properly."

What is our primary use case?

We are a consulting agency and we help people make technology and business decisions. 

Our environment is fully online and we're a Microsoft 365 shop. We are using Intune for security. It is their MDM for mobile devices, but it is also their application ADM and it works on desktops as well.

We primarily use it to maintain compliance for our customers. They require that we use it to enforce compliance with the same level that they do internally, so we're following the compliance guidelines of several Fortune 100 companies. Intune is what we use to meet those requirements.

How has it helped my organization?

Using this product has completely stopped DLP, so people cannot take material off of corporate machines or corporate imagines, and that's a huge benefit.

What is most valuable?

The biggest thing for us is enforcing logins only from devices that are managed by Intune.

We also use it for enforcing DLP and all of the other security policies that you need for compliance in order to do work for major corporations.

It integrates well with the Microsoft environment. Once it's deployed, it's set and forget.

What needs improvement?

Once it's configured it is unobtrusive, but it does take some hands-on to configure and deploy it properly.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Intune for a year.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Intune has been very stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We're a small company of fewer than 100 people and it scales well enough for us.

We are financial analysts and IT consultants.

How are customer service and technical support?

I have not used the technical support personally, but it seems to be okay.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We used a third-party package before, and we moved to Intune because it was easier to integrate with Microsoft Windows or Microsoft 365. It also provides coverage for desktops.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup requires user participation. You can't push it without the client being engaged. That is part of the configuration.

What other advice do I have?

Overall, this product works pretty well. Security products are the disgusting medicine that we don't like to take, but we have to take it to stay healthy.

This is a good product because it's transparent and works well, although it's unfortunate that we have to have it.

I would rate this solution 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?

Great patch management and reasonable pricing
Pros and Cons
  • "Microsoft Endpoint Manager is not expensive overall, especially for small environments."
  • "An issue we have run into with Microsoft Endpoint Manager is that we cannot patch third-party products like Adobe and Chrome with it."

What is our primary use case?

We use Microsoft Endpoint Manager for patch management and software and application deployment. We also use it to engage with the user to be flexible and encourage them to use our organizational tool in their home or country, along with Microsoft 365 features and VDI.

How has it helped my organization?

Microsoft Endpoint Manager's patch management has been the most helpful to us. However, Microsoft Endpoint Manager has a lot of features. We could use it for cost management, inventory, and security purposes. But, bottomline, its best feature is patch management.

What needs improvement?

No tool is 100% perfect. An issue we have run into with Microsoft Endpoint Manager is that we cannot patch third-party products like Adobe and Chrome with it.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have more than 10 years of experience with Microsoft Endpoint Manager. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Microsoft Endpoint Manager is scalable. We have not run into any issues. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was not easy for me.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The pricing is reasonable. Microsoft Endpoint Manager is not expensive overall, especially for small environments. But for enterprises with more than 6,000 or 7,000 users, it can start to get a little expensive.
