Centralized management has reduced device provisioning time and simplifies endpoint security
Pros and Cons
- "With Microsoft Intune, we set up the device within 20 to 30 minutes, reducing the provisioning time by 70 to 80%, and it has also reduced the IT workload by 40 to 60%."
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
Microsoft Intune has positively impacted my organization in many ways, enabling us to perform remote actions and have device lifecycle control, such as remote wipe, reset device, and lock the device, along with role-based access control.
These positive impacts translate into real results for my team by saving a good amount of time. With Microsoft Intune, we set up the device within 20 to 30 minutes, reducing the provisioning time by 70 to 80%, and it has also reduced the IT workload by 40 to 60%.
What is most valuable?

Centralized device policies have simplified support, while the admin portal still needs usability gains
Pros and Cons
- "Microsoft Intune has broad capabilities, particularly with mobile device management, with excellent management features like the ability to push configuration policies to all devices across the company and manage them effectively, strong configuration and compliance capabilities, and valuable application management that centralizes applications in one place and makes configuring or deploying them much easier."
- "The admin portal for Microsoft Intune is not yet on the same level as other Microsoft 365 admin portals when comparing the interface and user-friendliness."
What is our primary use case?
Microsoft Intune is used for technical support. We handle client cases and help in the resolution of cases from post-commercial support. We have not yet moved to premium cases, but we provide technical support for any issues with Microsoft Intune.
What is most valuable?
Microsoft Intune has broad capabilities, particularly with mobile device management. The management features are excellent, especially the ability to push configuration policies to all devices across the company and manage them effectively. The configuration capabilities are strong, and the compliance features are also really good.
The application management is a valuable feature because it makes the process easier by centralizing applications in one place, which contains most of the things needed when configuring or deploying applications. This is a really good feature to use in Microsoft Intune.
What needs improvement?
The admin portal for Microsoft Intune is not yet on the same level as other Microsoft 365 admin portals when comparing the interface and user-friendliness. The admin portal is something that still needs improvement, though I believe it will be updated in the future.
The admin portal has not yet been updated to the level of other admin portals such as Entra, Microsoft 365 admin portal, and compliance portals. It is usable and can be used, but it is not as user-friendly as those other admin portals when compared side by side.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with Microsoft Intune for about two months, starting in December, and I am now in my third month as the product ready trainer for Microsoft Intune here in Rwanda. It has not been that long, but because it is a new technology we are supporting, the experience has been valuable.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
During the time I have been using Microsoft Intune, there have not been many issues. There have been no service incidents, no total shutdowns, and no lagging that I have observed. However, because we interact with customers and support them with Microsoft Intune cases, there have been some complaints from customers. Sometimes there is lagging, policies are not being pushed, or the eight hours of synchronization have passed without anything happening. For myself personally, I have not had any lags or downtime with Microsoft Intune as a product.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Microsoft Intune is really scalable because it is broad and has many things and dedicators for various functions. The scalability is really good.
How are customer service and support?
There is a partnership since we support Microsoft cases. We deal with technical support for Microsoft coming from Microsoft Intune to other lines of business, so there is a partnership in place.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have only used Microsoft Intune.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is easy. It took me around thirty minutes, and the whole process was seamless because following the steps was straightforward. I would not classify it as difficult—it was easy.
What about the implementation team?
It is better to implement with a team due to the different efforts involved, but a single person can also complete the deployment. However, it is preferable to have a team.
What was our ROI?
Microsoft Intune provides a good return on investment.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The prices are good. The licenses are good, and since Microsoft Intune is mostly embedded in other licenses such as E5s, the pricing is customer-friendly. I cannot compare it to other licenses, but I think the pricing is really good.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
There are alternate solutions, but not many. When talking about certificate handling, we do set up or support customers with certifications, but mostly this is done by a different support team, the on-premises team. I have not interacted very well with Cloud PKI because it is dealt with by a different team, mostly the security and compliance team. I do not have much experience with it, but I have interacted with it here and there.
What other advice do I have?
I have been a product ready trainer for Microsoft Intune for two months, but in the field of Microsoft technical support, I have been doing this for two years.
I have seen the CoPilot feature in Microsoft Intune, but I have not interacted with it much because the licensing we are using at the moment does not provide access to CoPilot. We do not have that access, and because it is also a feature in preview, we have not really interacted much with CoPilot in Microsoft Intune. However, I have interacted with CoPilot in other admin centers, and it is good.
We use the feature, and it has been beneficial.
With Microsoft Intune, you must always check the policies to ensure they are interacting with the devices. You must keep checking the compliance of the devices and the health of the devices. This is something you keep checking regularly, so you must always be looking after these things in Microsoft Intune. It really does require ongoing maintenance.
Organizations can implement Microsoft Intune successfully. My review rating for Microsoft Intune is seven point five.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Manage multiple devices remotely with policy implementation for seamless compliance
Pros and Cons
- "What I appreciate most about Microsoft Intune is that we can manage multiple devices simultaneously in a single frame of time, and I can manage everything remotely from anywhere."
- "I have faced stability issues with Microsoft Intune plenty of times, but I think it's part of the process."
What is our primary use case?
In my career, I have used Microsoft Intune for about four or five months during my internship at my previous company, which is a global organization where I learned about Microsoft Intune and Entra Admin. I was using the cloud-based system all of the time. I am knowledgeable about many aspects and can manage requirements as needed, including device management and application management. I can handle whatever part of the premises needs to be taken care of.
What is most valuable?
What I appreciate most about Microsoft Intune is that we can manage multiple devices simultaneously in a single frame of time. I can manage everything remotely from anywhere. There are policies I can implement for compliance on several things, such as for sales teams, finance management teams, or tech teams. I can focus on the segment where I'm implementing policies or accessibility and manage it very quickly. Microsoft Intune brings all our endpoint and security management tools into one place, and we can minimize the endpoint and security management aspects. The security doesn't need further development as it already has multi-factor authentication options. If we want to add another option, we can mail a QR code; if the organization has that QR code, any employee can access it similar to multi-factor authentication. By using Microsoft Intune, we can protect our system through security checks, allowing us to define which party can access our system from remote locations. There are various applications being utilized for remote functions, and with our firewall in place, we don't need to worry about security.
What needs improvement?
The downside of Microsoft Intune is that in a fast-moving world, most people are using AWS or Azure. Specifically, cloud-based technologies nowadays manage this stuff automatically after deployments, particularly for application purposes. For application and device management, I suggest combining them in a mode where managing both things could have shortcuts throughout the system. For instance, when applying anything to a tech team, it should automatically apply to their applications on phones as well. There should be a system already designed, and as a developer, I believe I can design that type of framework.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have used Microsoft Intune for about four or five months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I have faced stability issues with Microsoft Intune plenty of times, but I think it's part of the process. It functions adequately sometimes; nothing is 100% perfect.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The scalability of Microsoft Intune is quite good; it won't affect the work environment or struggle with multiple PCs. For large-scale use, there might be timing issues during installations or setups, which requires more time.
How are customer service and support?
I have contacted technical support many times, and they respond quite accessibly, making it easy to reach out to them.
How would you rate customer service and support?
How was the initial setup?
It takes around 45 minutes to set it up for me.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Microsoft Intune doesn't require any maintenance; the only cost involved is paying for the package on a yearly or monthly basis.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I haven't tried using any alternatives to Microsoft Intune. There is a system with Google that has its endpoint system, but I haven't used it. Most people around me are using Microsoft.
What other advice do I have?
On a scale of one to ten, I would give Microsoft Intune a rating of eight out of ten.
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
Microsoft Azure

Management of devices becomes efficient but requires improvements in documentation and performance
Pros and Cons
- "The Advanced Endpoint Analytics in Microsoft Intune has improved and helps us proactively detect and remediate anomalies in endpoints."
- "There have been instances where enrolling devices should take 10 minutes but ends up taking an hour due to various issues."
What is our primary use case?
We use Microsoft Intune to manage mobile phone devices and laptops to ensure they are synchronized with the company. They are not used for tracking or third-party software, and they comply with company regulations. If devices get tampered with, lost, or stolen, we can track them. The devices are registered to our systems, so if anyone forgets their user IDs or passwords, we can resolve that using the authenticator. We use the Cloud PKI, which is straightforward and easy to learn. Everything is documented, and a self-starter can learn it. It is not highly technical. It requires being comfortable with Microsoft Windows knowledge and knowing how to use a desktop and commands. Someone with basic knowledge can pick it up easily.
We use the Copilot integration in Microsoft Intune which helps protect our environment. We are using the Enterprise Application Management features of Microsoft Intune. These features have improved our abilities in app discovery, deployment, and automatic updating. The Advanced Endpoint Analytics in Microsoft Intune has improved and helps us proactively detect and remediate anomalies in endpoints.
What is most valuable?
Everything about Microsoft Intune is something that I value the most. It is something that I use for employees, whether for new starters or anyone who makes a request. It is a requirement and a need, and it works great. So far, there have not been any issues. It performs very well.
What needs improvement?
The documentation and authentication could be improved. Sometimes, there can be issues where you have to restart multiple times. There have been instances where enrolling devices should take 10 minutes but ends up taking an hour due to various issues. Performance is something that needs to be worked on.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Microsoft Intune for around a year in my career, not necessarily in this job, but overall.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Sometimes there has been instability such as crashing and downtime. This happens as part of business operations.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The scalability of Microsoft Intune can be good at times and off at others, so it falls somewhere in between.
How are customer service and support?
I have not had to contact their support.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
How was the initial setup?
My initial introduction to Microsoft Intune was straightforward because everything was written and documented, so it was simply a matter of following their instructions.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We have used an application called Pyrus as an alternative. That is software our company purchased, and it actually helps.
What other advice do I have?
I followed the documentation from my colleagues and have used some documentation from Microsoft. The Microsoft documentation is adequate. I do not know the pricing of Microsoft Intune, as that is not something I manage. When I joined my current company, Microsoft Intune was already in place, so my role was to enroll new devices and distribute them to new people.
On a scale of 1-10, I rate Microsoft Intune a 7.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Overall pricing was pretty reasonable. It is usually bundled with Microsoft 365. We did not have much separate setup cost and licensing is per user which makes it easy to scale as needed.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We looked at a few options such as VMware Workspace ONE and MobileIron, but Microsoft Intune fit better since we were already using Microsoft services.
What other advice do I have?
I would say plan your policies properly from the start and take time to understand them. Overall, Microsoft Intune is a solid and reliable solution for device management, especially if you are already in the Microsoft ecosystem. It really helps in simplifying security and remote management. I give this product a review rating of eight out of ten.

Centralized management and user-friendly dashboard simplify device control
Pros and Cons
- "I would recommend Microsoft Intune to others; it is a very good and scalable solution."
- "There could be some kind of feature that supports a workgroup environment or a separate environment without the Entra ID."
What is our primary use case?
We deploy Microsoft Intune for clients and give them support for
The main use cases for Microsoft Intune among our customers currently include migrating a client that was initially with Dell; they were using a Citrix solution along with other solutions. We migrated all the infrastructure on Azure, and they have almost 400 to 500 users. We have registered users' laptops and desktops with Microsoft Intune. I integrated them with Entra ID and Active Directory authentication. We are providing them support with managing all the devices, including their laptops, mobiles, and PCs with Microsoft Intune, along with all the policies and other configurations.
What is most valuable?
The most useful features of Microsoft Intune for our customers include centralized management; administrators can access all device reports, which devices are expiring MFA, which are not using MFA, device details, and other important information. All details about users and devices can be accessed through a centralized portal and dashboard. That is the main feature.
Regarding user experience, Microsoft Intune is very user-friendly. We need to register the device with Microsoft Intune through the Company Portal. When it's registered with the email, it comes to the management console on Microsoft Intune. We can manage all the devices from the portal, and users are very satisfied with no issues. They only require assistance with daily routine tasks, but otherwise, everything runs smoothly.
What needs improvement?
It’s already a strong application and management tool, and the team is continuously improving it. Everything is progressing smoothly, and our policy allows for certain configurations to be made easily.
There could be some improvements regarding additional features and integrations in Microsoft Intune. Microsoft Intune works with Entra ID. If there is an option for a client with 100 PCs or laptops that are not on the Entra ID domain, it would be good. It should work without a domain. Microsoft Intune works with the Entra ID domain, with the domain ID, with the email ID. There could be some kind of feature that supports a workgroup environment or a separate environment without the Entra ID.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been working with Microsoft Intune for five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Our customers have not faced any issues with the stability of Microsoft Intune; it's very stable. When they change devices such as laptops and mobiles, we need to register again and remove from the portal, their MFA, and other configurations. Otherwise, it is fine with no significant issues. It's very reliable and scalable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
In terms of scalability, Microsoft Intune performs exceptionally well. This solution is scalable.
How are customer service and support?
As technical professionals, we rarely need support. We handle issues ourselves, but whenever there's a need, we raise a ticket with Microsoft to get issues resolved and convey solutions to the client. If we have solved the issue through the Microsoft portal, we raise a ticket and provide the input from Microsoft to the client regarding what the issue was.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Our customers evaluated other tools before working with Microsoft Intune, as they migrated from ManageEngine and other management devices to Microsoft Intune. They saw advantages that led them to choose Microsoft Intune and Entra ID, so they migrated all the infrastructure and found it better than other management tools.
How was the initial setup?
For tech-savvy individuals, the process is straightforward. You simply need someone with technical expertise to handle the portal, making device registration easy. There’s nothing complicated about it.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Microsoft Intune is not too expensive; it is bearable for the clients and fits in their budget.
What other advice do I have?
I would recommend Microsoft Intune to others. It is a very good and scalable solution. Every person, client, or company that has infrastructure with more than 100 or 200 devices will find it very easy to manage all their devices, mobiles, laptops, PCs, and network devices from the same dashboard and panel. All the information in the portal and dashboard makes it good for them.
I would rate Microsoft Intune a nine out of ten.

Cloud-based management has transformed remote device security and streamlined hybrid work
Pros and Cons
- "Overall, Microsoft Intune has been a strong platform for modern endpoint management, especially for organizations supporting hybrid work and cloud-first device management strategies."
- "The reporting and troubleshooting experience with Microsoft Intune could be improved because clearer and more detailed error reporting for failed policies or applications installed would make administration much easier, especially when diagnosing policy sync or device compliance issues across large environments."
What is our primary use case?
Microsoft Intune is used as a cloud-based platform in a hybrid environment with both cloud-managed and on-premises integration systems.
Microsoft Azure along with Microsoft 365 services are used for identity, device management, and security integrations in the hybrid environment.
What is most valuable?
My experience with Microsoft Intune involves securing remote user devices across Windows and mobile platforms.
Microsoft Intune is used to enforce device compliance policies like disk encryption, antivirus status, and OS update requirements before users can access company resources such as Microsoft 365 and VPN services.
One significant advantage is how well Microsoft Intune supports remote and hybrid work since devices can be managed and provisioned securely without needing them connected directly to the corporate network.
The ability to manage devices without direct connection to the core has impacted my team's day-to-day operations by making Windows Autopilot device provisioning much faster because new systems can be configured automatically with the right apps, policies, and security settings without manual IT setup.
Centralized management also helps because compliance can be monitored, updates can be pushed, and devices can be troubleshot from a single console instead of managing each one separately.
The best features Microsoft Intune offers include the integration with the broader Microsoft security ecosystem, which is a significant advantage, especially when combining Microsoft Intune with Azure AD Defender and conditional access policies for centralized security management.
The conditional access policy feature in Microsoft Intune helps my organization day-to-day by improving endpoint visibility, simplifying remote device management, and helping standardize security policies across both corporate and remote devices. It also reduces the amount of manual setup work required for onboarding new systems.
With Windows Autopilot and automated policy deployment, new device setup that previously took hours of manual configuration can now be completed much faster with minimal IT involvement, especially for remote employees.
What needs improvement?
The reporting and troubleshooting experience with Microsoft Intune could be improved because clearer and more detailed error reporting for failed policies or applications installed would make administration much easier, especially when diagnosing policy sync or device compliance issues across large environments.
Application deployment troubleshooting can sometimes be inconsistent, and clearer error reporting for failed policies or applications installed would make administration much easier.

Microsoft Intune is stable in my experience because of its strong integration with Microsoft 365 Azure services.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Microsoft Intune scales very well for enterprise environments and handles a large number of users, devices, and hybrid deployments effectively. The cloud-based architecture makes it easier to expand device management without major infrastructure changes, and features like automated policy deployment and centralized management help significantly as the environment grows. Very large deployments may still require careful policy design and performance tuning, but overall scalability has been strong in our experience.
How are customer service and support?
The customer support for Microsoft Intune is excellent, and the support team is very helpful.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
A mix of traditional on-premises endpoint management tools and manual processes were previously used, but the transition to Microsoft Intune was made for better cloud-based management, remote device support, and tighter integration with the Microsoft ecosystem.
How was the initial setup?
A good return on investment has been seen with Microsoft Intune mainly through reduced device provisioning time, lower manual support effort, and better centralized management for remote devices. Tasks like onboarding and policy deployment that previously required hands-on IT work are now mostly automated, which saves a significant amount of admin time each week. A Microsoft commissioned Forrester study also reported measurable operations saving and productivity improvement with Microsoft Intune deployments.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Microsoft Intune is reasonable if already invested in the Microsoft ecosystem, especially since Microsoft Intune is included with several Microsoft 365 and EMS plans. Setup was fairly smooth for standard deployments, but larger environments with complex policies and hybrid integrations required more planning and tuning. Licensing can also become a bit confusing once advanced Microsoft Intune Suite features and add-ons are added.
