Microsoft Intune Reviews

We use Intune to manage devices and configurations on all platforms, including Windows, iOS, iPad, and Android. It also provides conditional access from the Azure portal. We have also used Intune to bifurcate data and data transfers. We have an Intune entry list that shows the device count and bandwidth of each, so we can manage the data flow from every device based on whether it's corporate or personal. 

Intune is flexible. If you want to move a device that was previously on-prem, we can bring it to the cloud and apply all the policies. This is helpful for even those organizations that were on-prem and not on the cloud. They can also come and use these features, which are pretty cool and would be handy to protect the data and manage the devices as well.

It's handy to manage all the hybrid devices that are on-prem and in the cloud. If a user accesses company resources on their work profile or their personal devices, they can register the device in Intune and access the company data. Intune is a crucial part of the overall structure because we can use it to analyze risks and threats coming into our organization and predict what will be vulnerable. It's necessary to analyze all those things from a security perspective.

Intune's advanced endpoint analytics require a separate license. We are keen to use that one because it comes with more features, flexibility, and control for admins over the devices. We haven't used it, but I've tested it on my tenant with a few devices

It is much easier for admins to use that cloud PKI infrastructure compared to when we had to set up all those things using our Skype profile from Intune. It's quite handy. It takes a little work on the admin side, but the whole structure is the same.

Intune drastically improved our productivity. Work that was previously completed in four hours could now be finished in one. It saved our IT admins many hours of work. Once we migrated from our on-prem servers to the cloud, the Cloud PKI saved us a lot of money. I don't know the numbers, but we are saving so much money because of this. 

The best part of Intune is application deployment. We can deploy an application to several users with a single click. We can use conditional access, granting access to users based on certain conditions, such as location, platform, etc. 

With the help of Microsoft Defender, we can bring each endpoint or node under  Intune's umbrella and manage it through Defender. The most effective feature for managing mobile devices is the compliance policy, which mandates that any user on a particular device should be compliant. It should meet the requirements the company sets and be upgraded. The user should meet all these security criteria we have implemented. 

Intune's app management can support our business operations. For example, if a user wants an Android app, we can deploy it through the Android store, but if we're talking about any MSI on a public-facing platform, we can convert it into Win32 and deploy it to the whole enrollment. Intune is quite flexible.

Compared to another Indian MDM tool I use, Intune provides more flexibility for security. The Microsoft name assures us that our data will be protected. Control over data is the main concern on the cloud.

The reporting causes problems because we're trying to gather data to present to the management, but we can't get the data they request. If a user has removed an application from his device, but it won't report it at exactly the right time. It takes time to sync from the device to the portal. Let's say we are preparing a list or deck for the number of compliant devices that meet all of the organization's requirements. In a real-time scenario, that device could be compliant, but it is showing as non-compliant on the portal. It sometimes hampers the overall decisions that we make on our end.

I have used Intune for four and a half years.

I rate Microsoft premium support nine out of 10. Their premium support is top-notch. They build a bridge to resolve the issues. Standard support varies, depending on the engineer you get. It could range from six to eight out of 10. 

Positive

Previously we used SCCM. It's a Microsoft solution, but Intune's user experience is much better because it's cloud-based and it's more cost-effective. 

Deploying Intune is pretty simple for someone who is experienced with the program. The admin needs to know the basics. Otherwise, it's user-friendly. The time needed to deploy depends on the network, but if everything is perfect, it only takes five to 10 minutes to deploy an application on a Windows device. An Android device is in a similar range. In some weird scenarios, it may take 15 minutes. It doesn't require much maintenance after deployment because it's cloud-based, so we don't need to update anything.

Intune cuts the amount of time we spend on these tasks in half.

Intune is a better value than SCCM or other management tools because we can integrate more with Intune. 

I rate Intune eight out of 10. I would recommend Intune to others. Microsoft offers many new handy features, such as the ledger and the ability to locally administer managed devices. It doesn't require much hassle to set up these things. It's worth the price.

We are using Intune for managing endpoint devices with zero-trust principles. The devices are not domain-connected because most people work from home. We do not trust these computers, so we use Intune to deploy and enforce policies related to updates, software installation, and management of admin users.

When we are using Microsoft products on mobile devices, we are using Intune to enforce policies on them.

Our usage is very simple. We are using Intune to manage devices that we do not trust. We are using Windows 365, and we install all applications only on these virtual PCs in the cloud. We do not have anything on endpoint devices. Not even a simple document can be downloaded there. We just have an access point to Windows 365 machines in the cloud. We are a financial company. There are not too many enterprise applications that we can use. We prefer to use zero trust. This means no there is no data on company devices at all. It is only on the cloud machines. It is easier to control one perimeter than 10,000 or 20,000 machines. We can reduce the attack surface in this way.

Intune increases the productivity of our IT team. 

There is a reduced cost of ownership and management. We do not need a lot of additional training. Administrators can share roles because its interface is similar to other Microsoft solutions. With one or two days of training, administrators can start working with it. There are a lot of Windows specialists in the market.

We work completely in a Microsoft environment. Its interface is similar to other Microsoft solutions that we are using such as Microsoft Defender. So far, for our administrators, it is easy to use. 

At the moment, we need more flexibility. We have some offices migrating to Windows 11 remotely. Sometimes, it is difficult to manage image installation because we have to collect some information before starting image deployment. Currently, Intune cannot collect the information needed for deploying new images.

We have been using Microsoft Intune for three years. I also used it for two years in my previous work.

Intune is a stable product with no significant issues. We have standardized hardware. We do not have a wide variety of endpoints.

Intune is quite scalable. We started with 3,000 machines, and we now manage 15,000 machines. Our endpoints will probably grow.

I have not interacted with Microsoft technical support personally, but I was satisfied with their support in my previous company.

Positive

I have not used any other solution in my current company.

We are using the public cloud for access, but everything is closed. There is no public access to infrastructure. Access is only through the cloud. There is no VPN or any other way.

I was involved in the security assessment in the beginning. The initial setup was quite easy because we did not look for very complicated functions. We did face some issues with the multi-user mode but resolved them. It took us about a month.

It requires maintenance. You have to review regular policies and adjust policies when something changes in the environment or you deploy new applications. Its maintenance is mostly done in-house. Only in a very complicated situation, we involve a third-party consultant.

We performed the deployment with the assistance of a third-party consulting company, not resellers. Three engineers from our team were involved.

Cost is not my department, but the product is included in the E5 license that we already pay for every user, so no additional cost is incurred.

We have not evaluated other options because Microsoft Intune is included in our E5 licensing. I would prefer to use the VMware solution, but that is not possible because Intune is included with our existing license. Buying any other solution will result in additional costs.

I recommend doing thorough homework and testing everything in a test environment. After ensuring that everything works fine, proceed with the final deployment.

It is not the best solution. It requires a bit more effort in management, but it works. It is not so flexible, but considering it is free for us, it is okay.

We are doing experiments with Copilot to see how we can use it. For some users, it is deployed, and we will be testing it actively. We are mainly using it to make emails, presentations, and documents better for the end users who will read them. We are an international company, and English is not the primary language for 99% of people. Copilot makes the documents more readable. We have not yet tested Copilot in Intune for security functions. We have SIEM and other security tools for insights. At the moment, we do not have a big need to start experimenting with Copilot in Intune. After we finish with the end-user use cases, we can switch focus on daily operations for IT teams.

Intune has not helped us consolidate vendors because we do the installation on the cloud. On endpoints, we have nothing.

I would rate Intune a seven out of ten because it is not so flexible.

We use Intune to manage more than 5,000 endpoints. It has many powerful tools that enable an organization to manage its devices and applications securely. The main capability is mobile device management (MDM), which allows you to manage hardware and mobile applications. I'm also working with application management. That lets you manage deployments, protections, renewals, identities, and device integration.

Before implementing Intune, we had to manage devices, access, admin, and planning directly. Intune improves user productivity while reducing IT support costs. It enables IT to optimize the user experience by streamlining configuration changes. By avoiding password issues, we can secure hybrid work. It creates a profile for each user who is issued an Intune-managed device. The solution increases IT productivity at our organization. Intune has saved us money.

I like Intune's ability to install software to a device remotely and push policy through the Azure portal. Intune is good for Windows-based devices. It's also integrated with Windows security tools like endpoint protection, DLP, etc. 

You have the option of automatically updating and syncing an Intune device. You can click the sync button, and then your device is configured for automatic installation in Intune. The analytics feature can enhance the end-user experience by checking your device for things like battery health.

Advanced features are included in the Microsoft Intune Suite for an additional license cost. One of these is centralized access management. Let's say a project requires a device not to have WiFi access. We can go into that device and disable the WiFi option.  

One issue that Inutune can improve is password integration with the BitLocker key option. Another issue is assigning licenses. We can assign the licenses for some users on the BPM side, and our BPS users work on Outlook 365 but cannot access it there. A BPS person can go to the company portal and download Outlook 2016. They could improve the NDIS part to assign a license directly to the BPS person that allows them to install the Intune device manager directly on our system. 

Intune has been stable recently. One issue is that you cannot push the device's front image directly on the back end. If your WiFi is injected, the image isn't visible directly. The script can do through it slowly, but this is a problem. 

It's a cloud-based solution, so you can log in to your Intune device.

I rate Microsoft Intune 10 out of 10. 

I'm part of a break/fix team using Intune to support our clients. We support Android, iOS, Mac, and Windows devices and help customers with enrollment issues, Apple configuration problems, app deployment, and other issues. My clients are small-to-medium-sized.

Intune brings all endpoints and security management into one place. Through the same portal, we can manage policies and deploy apps. If we push apps through the portal, they can be deployed to all users. 

Intune makes it easier to manage devices, saving us time. It solves many challenges we face in deploying and configuring devices. When something breaks, we need to investigate, starting with the configuration. For example, the kiosks are Android-based devices. When we have issues, we need to check to ensure everything is configured correctly on the portal. 

Intune's security features for Apple iOS and Mac OS are helpful. We can check enrollment, manage public and private settings, and manage the organization's data using security key features. Like the MCM interface, the Intune portal is flexible and easy to understand.

The Cloud PKI feature helps us manage our complex certificate infrastructure across our cloud and on-prem Active Directories. We are using Copilot. The settings are controlled by Intune and SCCM, so Copilot works the same regardless of the product we use. It simplifies IT operations and helps us manage both. We can use AD Connect to integrate our on-prem Active Directory, connect with hybrid devices, and manage every device in the organization.

Intune could add more Linux security features and more integration with on-prem devices. The application deployments can also be improved. 

I have used Intune for around two years.

I rate Intune nine out of 10 for stability. 

I rate Intune nine out of 10 for scalability. 

I rate Microsoft support nine out of 10. 

Positive

We use SCCM to manage users and patches. We can push all the patches using Microsoft releases patches where we can push in a one we're using a one group and meeting one group, and then we are pushing it through this patch management.

Deploying Intune can take one to three days, depending on the configuration required. 

I rate Intune seven out of 10 for pricing.

I rate Microsoft Intune nine out of 10. I recommend Intune because it's more flexible, user-friendly, and has more security features. I work with Microsoft technologies like SCCM, Windows Server, and Intune. 

We control the endpoints and push the software. We also manage the patch schedule, quality updates, and feature updates. We use pretty much everything that is offered within Intune.

Our operations are much simplified. Traditionally, IT support has to manually install a lot of software. For example, Adobe, Google Talk, Google Hangouts, or any other solution has to be installed manually. With Intune, we can automate when somebody is joining. When a laptop joins the company domain, it is much easier to install different applications.

Intune brings all of our endpoint and security management tools into one place. It is always nice when you have a centralized place to look at all the devices. It helps the IT administrators to have a broader overview. It helps if they want to have a quick look at the endpoints or any software that did not install correctly. It has been great for the IT administrators. I log in pretty much every day to take a look at any failures, any out-of-compliance devices, etc.

Intune has been beneficial to me. I have been using it daily. I can see everything through one dashboard. I do not have to jump in and out of different places. 

Intune has definitely saved us costs. We do not have to go and get another software. We are saving quite a lot there, maybe 30,000 to 40,000 annually.

In terms of user experience, the good thing is that users do not feel anything. The users do not have to experience a reboot when an application gets installed. Traditionally, they have to restart their laptop or they experience slowness. All these issues are gone. It is all done in the background. The whole idea is that the user does not need to know what is going on at the back. They just need to use the application. When it gets installed, they will get a notification saying that the app has been installed by their admin. They can then just open the app and use it. That is it.

The ability to push applications on devices is valuable. You do not have to manually install applications one by one. If you like to use ten different applications, you do not have to manually go and download them one by one. Intune can compile a package for you, and then you can just push them from the admin center.

I would like to see easier pushdowns. Currently, we have to package our own software and then push it. Intune can make that way easier and integrate applications, such as Zoom and Adobe Acrobat, that are used by a lot of enterprise or corporate organizations. If they can integrate all the applications in their Intune system and allow all the IT admin to see any vulnerability upgrades or any feature upgrades required, that would be great. Currently, we do not have this kind of information proactively showing up in the admin dashboard.

The UI is very difficult to navigate around. You have to click multiple times. For example, you have to click four or five times to get to the BitLocker key. If something is missing or something is not installed properly, you get the same error every time. Behind the error message, there is a lot of meaning to it. The user interface and the way Intune shows the errors for troubleshooting do not make it very useful for me. We can only get a glimpse of the error, but you have to figure out the rest of the things on your own. You have to go to Google, or you have to go to GitHub or another forum to find any related information.

I have been working with Microsoft Intune since I joined this company. I have been with the company for two years, and my company has been using it longer than that.

I would rate it a 6 out of 10 for stability.

I would rate it a 6 out of 10 for scalability.

Microsoft support does not know a lot of things. There was some issue with the software integration or software deployment. If you ever open a case with them, I feel like they do not really know a lot of things. If you open 5 cases, they are able to resolve only 1 of them. You have to resolve the rest of the 4 cases yourself. You have to troubleshoot them on your own. Their support is not that great. I would rate their support a 4 out of 10.

Neutral

I have not used any similar solution.

We have a cloud environment. Its initial setup was straightforward.

It does not require any maintenance from our side.

I did it all by myself. I do not need any help.

Its price is quite okay. I wish they provide certain additional features with the same license.

There are a lot of free videos about Intune on YouTube. To those who would like to use Intune, I would advise having a look at those videos to learn how to navigate around and how to use it before they start using Intune. From there, they can completely kick off the journey with Intune.

I would rate Intune a 7 out of 10.

With Intune, managing devices is a breeze. I use it to enforce security policies and seamlessly deploy applications to handle Windows 11 upgrades. It is like my one-stop shop for device management – no more manual headaches, just simple templates making my life easier. Plus, with Windows 10 support ending soon, Intune ensures a smooth transition to the latest and greatest without much hassle.

Overall, Intune has been a game-changer for our organization. It offers enhanced visibility, helping me identify and fix issues swiftly. Since implementing it, our security score has seen a noticeable improvement.

Intune gives me full visibility and control across all devices. For instance, if a device is slowing down, Intune alerts me, and I can proactively upgrade the hardware, like moving from HDD to SSD or M.2, ensuring optimal performance. It is like having eyes and control over the entire device landscape.

Intune has significantly reduced the risk of security breaches. With its robust security features and compliance monitoring, I can track and manage everything from emails to miscellaneous activities, ensuring a proactive stance against potential security threats.

The user experience of Intune is a perfect ten for me. It provides an incredibly helpful and seamless interface.

Intune has saved costs by preventing potential security threats. Restrictions on accessing miscellaneous websites have been invaluable in avoiding virus downloads and data loss. 

The reporting and analytics features in Microsoft Intune have been a lifesaver. In the report section, I can quickly identify device issues, compliance problems, or deployment failures. It provides a clear overview, allowing me to take immediate action, whether it's redeployment or manual adjustments, keeping everything in check and running smoothly.

While Intune works perfectly well, the only potential downside is that the deployment could be a bit complex for some users.

I have been using Microsoft Intune for three years.

The stability of Intune is impecable.

I would rate the scalability of Intune as a ten out of ten. I have not had any issues with it.

Technical support from Microsoft for Intune is top-notch, a solid ten. Whenever I have had issues and opened a ticket, they have been quick to respond within half an hour to two hours. The solutions provided are effective with detailed instructions and additional information.

Positive

My deployment model for Intune is gradual and cautious. It is like navigating through a vast ocean, where I test on a few devices first, slowly deploying one thing at a time. I learned the hard way that rushing impacts users, so it is a step-by-step process, taking a month or two, testing, deploying, and making adjustments as needed. Patience is the key to Intune deployment.
Deploying Intune wasn't a walk in the park, but it wasn't overly complex either. I would say it is moderate—needing time, experience, and knowledge. Testing is crucial.

Microsoft takes care of updates and maintenance. I just need to stay on top of deploying new patches that come from vendors, ensuring our machines are up-to-date and secure.

The return on investment with Intune has been excellent. The increased productivity and control over machines justify the cost, giving a full value-for-money experience.

We use Microsoft Intune to ensure security compliance mainly through our DLP project. It is our go-to for deploying new features and staying on top of security patches. Intune keeps us informed about vulnerabilities, making it easier for me to download and deploy updates across our infrastructure, ensuring a robust and secure system.

The standout features of Microsoft Intune for managing and securing our workforce are endpoint protection, streamlined deployment of applications, and easy handling of feature updates. Creating Intune policies is a breeze; for instance, deploying applications is just a matter of selecting them and letting Intune take care of the rest. It is a time-saving and efficient way to keep our systems secure and up-to-date.

The real game-changer in Microsoft Intune for our data security is the ability to create and enforce specific policies. I have set up two types: one within Intune and the other through GPO. The combination of both has been pivotal in ensuring robust security measures for our organization.

Having all endpoint and security tools in one place with Intune is quite valuable. It allows me to track device usage, block systems, and, if necessary, wipe company data for security purposes. The integration with OneDrive ensures seamless syncing and backup of user data, providing an added layer of protection. It is like having a control center that empowers me to respond swiftly to any security concerns.

For securing hybrid work and data protection, I set up Intune to handle encryption using tools like BitLocker. It provides an added layer of security, allowing me to manage BitLocker keys and make necessary changes for better control. This way, even in a hybrid work environment, I have visibility and control over data protection measures.

Intune's integration with Microsoft security has significantly bolstered our organization's security. From prompt security patches to timely machine restarts and access control, it covers a multitude of aspects, ensuring a robust and proactive security stance.

Using the Endpoint Privilege Management feature in Intune has been a productivity boost.

After deploying Intune, there was a shift in user freedom, but it was a positive change. I could restrict access, control network usage, and block certain applications, enhancing overall security. While some users may find it limiting, it aligns well with the organization's focus on security.

Intune must integrate with Microsoft 365 and Security. The synergy is powerful. For instance, in security, I identify vulnerabilities and know precisely what patches to deploy using Intune. It is like a seamless collaboration that streamlines the process.

Microsoft Intune's integration with other Microsoft tools has revolutionized my device management strategy. It is like a helping hand that makes everything easy and seamless. Over the past five to six years, it has become an essential and efficient part of my device management toolkit.

Microsoft Intune's integration with other Microsoft tools has revolutionized my device management strategy. It's like a helping hand that makes everything easy and seamless.

For new users, my advice is to take advantage of Microsoft's virtual training sessions and certifications. Sometimes, they offer free certifications, which can be beneficial for users, considering the investment companies make. The biggest lesson I have learned is the incredible control and flexibility Intune provides. From deploying and removing applications to blocking and deploying the OS, it gives complete control over the infrastructure, making it invaluable for users in the field.

Overall, I would rate Intune as a ten out of ten.

We use Microsoft Intune to automate the onboarding and maintenance of our customers.

Before using Microsoft Intune, we struggled with software deployment and remote device wipe capabilities.

Most of the Intune is for all the remote devices, so it's all on-prem. For cloud, it wouldn't make too much sense.

Microsoft Intune brings all our endpoint and security management tools into one place. We use both Mac and Windows devices. Having all our endpoints and management tools in one place is helpful. I have a single place to check for current status and add and remove assets.

Microsoft Intune provides full endpoint visibility and IT control across device platforms. Having full endpoint visibility and IT control across device platforms allows us to deploy and manage the systems more effectively.

Intune works well and is seamless for the users.

It has helped to reduce the risk of security breaches in our organization because of the standardization and single sign-on.

It has also helped us reduce the number of IT staff, saving us costs.

The Asset Management and Auto Pilot are valuable features.

One of the other features we leverage is the single sign-on that Intune facilitates.

The Mac integration has room for improvement.

I have been using Microsoft Intune for two years.

I have not had any stability issues with Microsoft Intune.

Microsoft Intune is highly scalable.

Although I have not used the technical support for Intune, I am not happy with Microsoft's technical support in general.

Negative

The initial deployment was complex until we understood the process. We went through a simple dev test and then prod methodology. 

Two to three people were required for the deployment.

We implement Intune for our customers.

For organizations that are a Microsoft shop, the pricing is compelling. To buy it outright, it's two dollars a seat, which is cheap. The price is worth it.

I would rate Microsoft Intune an eight out of ten.

We have 400 users across multiple regions internationally.

Given the evolving security landscape in the cloud, it's crucial that Intune Suite is integrated with Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Security for both cloud and co-managed devices.

Maintenance is required to keep the packages up to date for any software we deploy. We have four people that deal with the maintenance.

I recommend planning and understanding how Intune will be used before deploying it.

I use Microsoft Intune to manage and secure all our devices from one central platform. It helps me enroll and configure devices, deploy applications, and enforce security policies.
