Microsoft Intune Reviews

We use Microsoft Intune to deploy applications, check Autopilot status, and deploy Autopilot applications. We also use it to manage user profiles, assess compliance, and define compliance and configuration profiles, among other Intune configurations.

We implemented Intune to improve our compliance.

Intune consolidates all our endpoint and security management tools into a single platform. Intune allows us to securely manage Windows, macOS, iOS, Linux, and Android devices, both corporate-owned and personally owned, in one centralized location.

The user-friendly enterprise application management system allows easy app discovery, deployment, and automatic updates without IT assistance.

Microsoft Intune Suite is a great tool for MDM.

We use Copilot whenever we encounter difficulties or receive error messages while working on a solution.

Copilot is beneficial for environmental protection as it assists in finding solutions by providing necessary information.

Copilot helped simplify our IT and security operations overall.

Microsoft Intune has significantly improved how we manage our devices, applications, and security regulations.

Intune enables us to easily manage and secure hybrid work environments, safeguarding company and personal device data.

Intune's endpoint privilege management improves user productivity because we can create temporary privileged accounts.

Endpoint privilege management, through its implementation of least privileged access, helps to reduce our organization's attack surface by limiting potential vulnerabilities related to security and authentication.

Intune has improved our IT productivity. Auto patching has freed up their time because it requires no administrative support.

Microsoft Intune has helped save us costs by consolidating multiple tools into Intune.

Microsoft Intune Suite's integration with Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Security is great for both cloud and co-managed devices because we can use it to form a single dashboard for enabling and managing licenses and creating accounts. 

The most valuable feature of Intune is the user-friendly portal for end users.

One drawback of Intune is that we cannot find devices based on a user's region or location. As a global organization, having this ability would be helpful.

I have been using Microsoft Intune for four years.

Intune is stable. We have not encountered any downtime.

Intune scales to our needs.

The prolonged response time from technical support for Intune is unacceptable, as this tool is critical to our organization's operations.

Neutral

We previously utilized Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager but transitioned to Intune due to its advanced capabilities and cloud-based architecture, enabling centralized management and accessibility.

Intune reduces the need for administrators, resulting in time and cost savings by eliminating the on-premises hardware and personnel.

I would rate Microsoft Intune eight out of ten.

We manage over 5,000 devices using Intune, which requires a team of two to three people for maintenance.

Microsoft Intune is a good tool for large organizations. I recommend using the trial version and conducting a POC.

Public Cloud

Microsoft Azure

I am working with a bank to configure backups for auto-billing devices. We have Samsung tablets used in branches with only customer accounts, where customers open accounts using these dedicated devices. We create custom policies for these devices using Microsoft Intune across multiple domains. Some devices are auto-pilot, some are dedicated tablets, and others are hybrid Azure AD joined devices managed by Configuration Manager. We are using Microsoft Intune in three domains to manage those devices.

Microsoft Intune consolidates our endpoint and security management tools into a single platform. We employ specific policies for autopilot devices tailored for global and US requirements, focusing on banking and government security. To address these concerns, we've implemented policies within the bank that restrict USB and Bluetooth access through the attack surface detection feature. This restricted app concept has been applied to autopilot laptops to enhance their security posture by blocking USB devices and preventing unauthorized research build-up.

User experience is generally good when using open internet devices like 3G, 4G, or 5G, as banks often use restricted internet connections.

Intune offers rapid benefits. Any policy, deployment, or change we implement is reflected within two to three minutes for all users. This is especially valuable for managing laptops. We can quickly implement a cleanup policy if user laptops are compromised or accessed without authorization. In the worst-case scenario of a computer being stolen, we can swiftly deploy a policy to secure the device's data within a minute.

It offers rapid policy, deployment, and change implementation, with effects visible to users within minutes. Devices managed by SCCM can also benefit from Intune workloads and policies, providing a unified management approach. Intune and SCCM work together to address security concerns for hybrid Azure AD joined devices. Attack surface reduction policies can be implemented through either platform to protect devices from threats. Intune manages SCCM-enrolled and Intune-managed devices, offering comprehensive security and management capabilities.

Intune has enhanced the productivity of our IT department. We can now establish Active Directory-related policies for public auto-enrollment devices in remote areas like Karachi and Islamabad. Not confined to specific cities, these devices can be managed through autopilot with AD-related policies created on Microsoft Intune. However, these devices are not always on-demand, so we track them using autopilot policies and create eighty policy replicas for each device. This approach is highly effective for managing our large-scale operations, as users often face challenges like requiring USB access while working remotely. We specifically tailor policies for our hundred audit users, who move frequently between locations.

Our bank's most valuable Intune features are centered around the dedicated device concept. We've implemented policies for tabs used by branch employees during account openings and deployed custom policies and applications on these devices using our Rapid Account Opening application. This dedicated device approach and tailored Intune features have yielded excellent results.

Microsoft Intune needs to improve its security policies. I want more secure, reliable, and efficient security policies.

I have been using Microsoft Intune for five years.

We have Microsoft Premium, which entitles us to Microsoft engineer support specifically for Intune. They respond very quickly. When we open a case on Microsoft and select a severity level, we always choose 'A' because we have a production environment. The engineers connect with us within 15 minutes and are highly capable.

We have upgraded support with Microsoft engineers and direct connections with some of them. When we encounter issues related to Microsoft Intune, we directly contact these highly skilled engineers for immediate assistance. They collaborate with us to resolve problems and always require ticket creation to meet our KPIs. We open and close these tickets accordingly. While we manage a significant volume of tickets, our direct relationship with Microsoft engineers ensures efficient issue resolution and support.

Positive

In my previous role, I used IBM MaaS360. Microsoft Intune surpasses MaaS360 with its broader feature set, increased flexibility, and seamless integration with other Microsoft products like Entra for XDR and QRadar. Additionally, Intune offers a more user-friendly experience.

The deployment time for Intune depends on the number of users. For example, an organization with 15 users can take 15 days to deploy. Organizations also using Active Directory and Office 365 Premium require additional deployments so that the total deployment time can reach 25 days.

Intune deployment is straightforward and has a stable internet connection. Given our appropriate EMS E3 and F3 licenses, we anticipate no significant challenges as long as our internet connection remains reliable.

I would rate Microsoft Intune nine out of ten.

After the deployment, Intune requires no maintenance. As long as the internet connection is stable, Intune can ensure all policies work as intended.

Microsoft Intune is the future. Using Intune, we can access other Microsoft tools like XDR through one portal. Pre-COVID users working remotely had to manage laptops not connected by a domain, and now all the devices and policies are managed through Intune.

My use case for Microsoft Intune is to deploy applications and enroll devices, pushing the apps to the devices.

Microsoft Intune brings all of our endpoint and security management tools into one place.

The integration of Microsoft Intune with Microsoft 365 and Microsoft security for cloud and co-managed devices is flawless.

Microsoft Intune works smoothly for discovery, deployment, and automatic updates.

Microsoft Intune helps simplify our IT and security operations as it takes less time, and it's easier to use than SCCM.

Microsoft Intune is flawless for securing hybrid work and protecting data on company and BYO devices.

We are using Microsoft Intune's endpoint privilege management feature. For enforcing least privilege access with Microsoft Intune, we use Entra ID. It restricts unauthorized access, requiring roles to be activated to proceed with necessary tasks, enhancing security.

Microsoft Intune has positively affected my IT productivity, as the decisions made at the enterprise level show it to be a more efficient way than SCCM.

In Microsoft Intune, everything is great. The interface is user-friendly, and the reporting tool works in real-time. Uploading the content is fine as well.

There is room for improvement in server patch management and allowing direct uploads of EXE applications instead of needing to convert them to Intune format, which would save time.

I have been using Microsoft Intune for more than one and a half years.

We have not experienced any issues. I would rate the stability of Microsoft Intune a nine out of ten. 

We have approximately 90,000 devices in our organization. We have multiple locations across various regions of the world. In our IT team, there are about ten people working with Intune, with plans to add more.

I would rate the technical support for Microsoft Intune an eight out of ten.

Positive

Previously, we were using MECM. The reason for the switch to Microsoft Intune is that the organization I work for has migrated to Intune. Microsoft Intune is far more efficient and faster than MECM. The deployment would take a lot of time in MECM; Intune is quite faster.

We are still using SCCM for cloud PKI as it hasn't been migrated.

Deploying Microsoft Intune in the cloud was complex as the previous work needed to be deleted and recreated, which wasted time.

Microsoft Intune saves about 10% to 15% of time. For example, deploying a 2 to 3 GB application at an enterprise level typically takes around one hour to one and a half hours, but with Microsoft Intune deployment, it gets completed in 30 to 40 minutes.

Microsoft Intune saves us around 10% to 15% in resources.

We are using Microsoft Copilot in Intune as an AI tool; it doesn't protect much, but it is handy for our users.

I would recommend Microsoft Intune to other users, especially those using MECM or SCCM, because Microsoft is ending support for older solutions.

Overall, I would rate Microsoft Intune an eight out of ten.

Public Cloud

I am using Microsoft Intune at my site, where my company, we have 450 clients, and we manage their accounts using Microsoft Intune. I have credentials from the company, and I'm managing them using these credentials. Under my supervision, there are one hundred and fifty devices.

Using Microsoft Intune, it has streamlined the process from manual to automated for managing users, applications, and data. This simplification allows us to handle everything from a single interface, eliminating the need for manual, one-by-one handling. This change has been significantly beneficial.

I particularly appreciate the administration and security features, which can be deployed easily. 

They are user-friendly, easy to understand, and convenient for managing user accounts. Deploying company policies for users is very efficient, and we can easily administer tasks, which is a positive aspect of Microsoft Intune. 

It's quite convenient and easy to manage, allowing us to handle multiple users and their applications without putting in much effort. This has improved our user management by enabling us to do so from one point, reducing the need for previous multiple software.

The security aspect could be more effective. We are using other applications to manage network devices and groups, so if Microsoft Intune could improve in this area, especially on a network level, it would be a real advantage.

I have been using Microsoft Intune for two years.

I would rate the stability of Microsoft Intune around seven and a half out of ten. While generally reliable, there are instances like the global incident with Microsoft where some time was required to resolve the issue.

I would rate the scalability as eight out of ten. Microsoft Intune effectively handles scaling as required by our organization.

I would give an eight out of ten for customer service. Microsoft support is generally helpful, although there was a delay during a significant incident affecting many clients.

Positive

We were using six different applications to manage data, policies, and users. Microsoft Intune has consolidated these into one platform, which is more effective, saves time and cost, and requires less storage.

The initial setup was fairly straightforward. It required staff training and a transition period of about 45 days to move from previous applications to Microsoft Intune.

I cannot provide specific details on costs or pricing since I do not directly deal with that aspect, however, the organization is satisfied with the pricing.

I would recommend Microsoft Intune because it's an all-in-one solution that simplifies task management across organizations. 

For overall value, I would rate it eight out of ten.

Our customers primarily use Microsoft Intune for core management tasks, often in conjunction with System Center Configuration Manager, especially for Apache-related matters. Intune is also crucial for mobile device management, policy deployment, and ensuring robust security, particularly when activating and deploying security features like Defender to endpoints.

Some of our customers implemented Microsoft Intune because of integration issues and old legacy operating systems.

We use Intune in on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments.

Intune brings all of the endpoint and security management tools into one place. They have also integrated it with non-Microsoft operating systems, which is a huge plus.

Consolidating endpoint and security management tools into a single platform offers significant benefits for our IT and security operations teams. With centralized visibility, they can gain better control over their systems, identify potential vulnerabilities, and take proactive measures to protect customer data. This enhanced oversight empowers them to address security gaps effectively and ensure a more secure environment.

From the user perspective, the Intune experience is exceptional for those familiar with it. However, for those still learning the technology, it suggests that Intune is user-friendly and straightforward to comprehend.

Intune offers administrators enhanced visibility, control, and ease of management. Patching and updating devices is streamlined, while end users benefit from simplified onboarding, intuitive usage, and robust security features like conditional access.

Intune is essential for safeguarding data on company and BYOD devices, especially in hybrid environments.

Intune significantly enhances IT productivity within our customers' organizations. Before Intune, administrators often struggled with visibility and management, particularly for mobile devices and laptops. They wasted time searching for assets and deploying numerous tools to achieve visibility and enforce management policies. Intune streamlines this process by eliminating the need for hundreds of agents. Simply implementing Intune provides the necessary visibility and management capabilities.

Intune offers significant cost savings. By comparing its licensing model to third-party solutions, we can easily see the return on investment in terms of reduced business expenses. Intune can help businesses save between 35 and 45 percent.

Intune simplifies vendor management by providing visibility into end-of-life dates for most hardware, especially laptops. This makes it easier for administrators to monitor the support status of both software and hardware. By tracking updates and end-of-life information from various vendors, administrators can easily view this data in a consolidated summary.

Before implementing Intune, their security posture was significantly lacking, with most organizations scoring below 20 percent. However, after Intune deployment, especially for banks, compliance became a crucial factor. Intune’s recommendations on improving security scores, particularly Secure Scores, have been instrumental in boosting their ratings to between 75 and 85 percent.

The consolidation has impacted licensing costs due to centralized oversight and dashboards. This raises questions about whether we should continue with the current approach or explore alternative options like Microsoft or a more standardized solution. There is a significant cost advantage to vendor consolidation and visibility.

The core management feature in Intune is invaluable to us, especially considering the challenges we often face with System Center when pushing external updates. Intune has proven to be a game-changer for me in this regard.

Intune's privilege management feature, while beneficial, is less intuitive than other Intune features, making it challenging to use. To improve this, more demonstrations and technical sessions would be helpful.

If Microsoft offered a standard license trial that allowed customers to experience its capabilities, customers would be more likely to purchase Intune.

The technical support has room for improvement.

I have been using Microsoft Intune for six years.

I've never encountered any performance problems with Intune. The largest deployment I've undertaken was for ten thousand devices, and even then, I experienced no issues with the Intune platform.

Microsoft Intune is highly scalable.

We encountered an issue once, but unfortunately, we had to seek support on our own. Therefore, Intune support is particularly challenging.

Neutral

We use VMware, Citrix, and various other third-party tools for MDM. These tools include Qualys, GFI, Managed Engines, and others, each offering different functionalities and service levels.

Intune offers a more straightforward licensing process than other vendors. Additionally, its integration capabilities, especially with Microsoft products, are generally smoother and less problematic than many third-party solutions. This allows for a more direct and measurable path to success, enabling users to assess their progress even in the early stages of implementation. 

I have been familiar with Microsoft products for some time, making the initial deployment of Intune relatively straightforward. We begin with a customer immersion session, where we sit with the client to conduct a workshop. This workshop ensures they fully understand the Intune solution's capabilities and limitations. We then establish clear objectives and goals for successful deployment. Our engineers work closely with the customer on-site, deploying the solution and training designated champions to assist user adoption. Following this, we provide comprehensive training and a transition period for the entire organization.

The number of users in an organization determines the number of people needed for a deployment. For organizations with fewer than 500 users, a team of five to six people would suffice. However, organizations with more than 1000 users may require a team of ten.

I would rate Microsoft Intune eight out of ten.

Intune's low maintenance requirements make it a valuable asset for our clients. Once implemented, Intune typically requires minimal ongoing maintenance, ensuring a smooth and efficient experience.

The integration of Intune's capabilities with Microsoft 365 and security for both cloud and co-managed devices is crucial as we transition to the cloud. Intune's visibility into devices provides significant value, and neglecting this integration would be a disadvantage for administrators as cloud-based management becomes the norm. Therefore, incorporating Intune into your cloud migration and strategy is essential for effective device and mobile phone management.

I highly recommend Intune to others. Its visibility feature is imposing. With visibility comes control, and a quick demo can showcase the potential benefits. By highlighting the need for more visibility in their current setup, it's easier to convince them of Intune's value. This also simplifies discussions and makes the decision-making process smoother.

We use Intune to deploy and control applications on mobile devices and to remote patch and wipe endpoints. We also use it for various other endpoint- related operations.

Intune provides centralized access to the complete environment. It has helped us secure hybrid work and secure company data on hybrid devices. 

It has improved the productivity of our infrastructure and application teams as well as our end users. Intune has helped us quite a bit. I havent' calculated the ROI, so I'm not sure how much it has saved us, but it has streamlined our application process and improved application availability. 

Our main use is Intune's management of mobile devices, like Android or iPhone devices. The application performs quite well for both types. We successfully managed almost 3,000 endpoints. 

From a security perspective, we apply various password patches in application control, but we use a different product. Intune meets our expectations and requirements for device and application control, but it might not fulfill your needs for other purposes, such as security. 

It's quite a thorough solution that gives you a complete inventory of everything you have on your laptop or mobile device. It offers extensive visibility.

Intune could add more features that are relevant to the core application control functions. For example, it would be helpful if it had more control over the on-prem environment from the cloud platform. Greater Teams availability in the Saudi market would also be helpful. 

I have worked with Intune for three years.

I rate Intune nine out of 10 for stability. 

I rate Intune nine out of 10 for scalability.

I rate Microsoft support five out of 10. Unlike some other vendors, Microsoft support is not that efficient, but if you have implemented the solution correctly from the start, then you won't need support that much.

Neutral

Intune isn't an easy deployment.

We used a small Middle Eastern firm as a system integrator.

We evaluated Ivanti, but we decided to use Intune because it was available as a SaaS.ker 0

I rate Microsoft Intune eight out of 10. If you need endpoint management and control, Intune will be right for you, but I don't think It can meet your expectations if you need something else. For new users, I suggest having Intune implemented by a security or application architect. Otherwise, you may face problems later that you cannot troubleshoot.

We use Microsoft Intune for managing devices, deploying applications, and asset management.

Recently, the remote help feature, which is an add-on, has been very useful. Although a detailed device diagnostic feature is missing in Intune, the basic one is available. The major advantage is configuring devices on all platforms—Windows, Mac, and all other devices—on one platform, which has allowed us to consolidate from two platforms, SCCM and JAMF, to just Intune. The efficiency of compliance management and managing updates and patches has improved significantly. The ability to manage devices over the cloud is a big benefit, as devices now receive updates regardless of location.

A detailed device diagnostic feature is missing. Also, operating system deployment and imaging are missing. There should be a feature to run detailed diagnostics on devices to identify issues.

We have been using Microsoft Intune for about one year.

The deployment is straightforward, but it can be complex if the person is not technically skilled. With the right knowledge, one person can manage the process, but multiple systems are involved, and comprehensive technical knowledge is necessary.

I find the stability of Microsoft Intune to be excellent, and I would rate it a nine out of ten.

The scalability of Microsoft Intune is good, and I would rate it an eight out of ten.

We haven't directly contacted Microsoft support for Intune, but we have a vendor for support. As it is a Microsoft-support product, it typically suggests good support.

Positive

We previously used SCCM for Microsoft and JAMF for Apple devices. We switched because Microsoft Intune integrates with our existing Microsoft campus license, allowing us to consolidate everything on one platform, data in one place, and on the Microsoft cloud. This integration eliminates the need for separate platforms.

The initial setup was straightforward, but at the beginning, it required technical capability and knowledge of multiple systems. One person with the necessary technical knowledge could handle the deployment.

One person can manage deployment if they have comprehensive technical knowledge. Multiple systems are involved, so familiarity with system administration and multi-system awareness is required.

Productivity increased by fifty percent, and cost savings were achieved by not renewing the JAMF license. We already had a campus license, so we didn't have to buy a new one.

As we already had the Microsoft campus license, we did not purchase anything new. There were no new setup costs, and cost savings from not renewing the JAMF license were realized.

We evaluated solutions including ManageEngine, which we used for a few months before switching to Intune due to cost benefits.

Integration is a key benefit of Microsoft Intune, especially for organizations already using Microsoft systems. Everything being on one cloud, with integrated data, makes it a comprehensive solution. I rate Microsoft Intune nine out of ten overall.

Currently, we are using Intune to manage our iOS devices. We are planning to extend its use to our Windows computers. Initially, the immediate need was for a Mobile Device Management to support the iOS platform, and Intune fulfilled that requirement.

When it comes to iOS, Intune is quite limited. Since it is a Windows product, it is more tailored towards Windows devices. We noticed limitations, which is one reason we are trying to move away from it. Intune does consolidate all endpoint and security management tools into one place, making everything easier to manage.

Intune should support platforms other than Windows. We have encountered several limitations, especially when handling iOS devices. Features like unlocking devices sometimes fail, and the support offered for other operating systems is insufficient. Enhancements are needed based on my real user concerns.

We have been using Intune since we transitioned to Office 365, and that was over five years ago.

The product itself is fine. We have not experienced any connection issues or significant problems. However, we do encounter backend issues related to its administration.

Intune is not scalable enough to fully support other operating systems aside from Windows.

Microsoft support is alright; it is a standard experience. On a scale from one to ten, I would rate it a five.

Neutral

We did not use a different solution before opting for Intune.

The initial deployment was pretty straightforward.

The deployment was completed with an in-house team comprising about twenty people, where everyone had a small piece of the work.

We see ROI because Intune is bundled in our Microsoft agreement.

The pricing is fair. We get Intune bundled with our Microsoft agreement.

We did not evaluate any other options before choosing Intune.

If you are a Microsoft shop, then Intune is a good fit. If not, you might face issues because it primarily supports Microsoft products. We are planning to decrease its usage. Overall, I would rate Intune a five because we are not solely a Microsoft environment.
