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.

I rate Microsoft Intune nine out of ten. The integration of Intune Suite with Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Security is included in our E5 license, providing us with the Intune license at no additional cost. This eliminates the need to purchase a separate Intune license, saving us money and streamlining our licensing.

Microsoft Intune brings all our endpoint and security management tools into one place for mobile. We work closely with security, which mostly implements the overall rules on what users should be able to do, how the new data is encrypted, and how secure data can't leave the Intune environment. It's easy to go into Intune and apply all of those policies and have them work for you. I would assess Microsoft Intune very highly for securing hybrid work and protecting company data via BYOD devices. I think it's very secure. Everyone in IT has to be available during off hours to make sure that everyone can see what's going on if there's an emergency. Since Microsoft Intune has been incorporated into our Microsoft E5 licenses, our organization has saved costs compared to using other EMM providers. Microsoft Intune is a comprehensive solution that has a lot of features and manages all your endpoints. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
I would rate Microsoft Intune eight out of ten. I would recommend Microsoft Intune to others. Intune offers a wide array of capabilities, and even after extensive familiarity with the platform, it's difficult to fully grasp its potential. To effectively implement Intune, it's recommended to conduct thorough research, primarily through online resources, to understand specific requirements and capabilities in advance.
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.
I give Microsoft Intune a rating of nine out of ten. Intune stands out as one of the top solutions in the market, and its capabilities are expanding with the integration of cloud PCs, Chrome OS, and Linux systems. For any large enterprise, I endorse both Intune and Defender. The recent CrowdStrike outage, which is the largest in IT history, affected only systems without Microsoft Defender but with CrowdStrike. This incident underscores the importance for enterprises to transition towards deploying Intune and Defender for enhanced security.
I would rate Microsoft Intune seven out of ten. Because of all the training and information, it took me a couple of years to see the benefits of Microsoft Intune. Managing deployed applications requires maintenance, but Intune, being cloud-based, does not necessitate such upkeep.

I would rate Microsoft Intune eight out of ten. Intune requires no maintenance after initial deployment, but ongoing subscriptions are necessary for each user as individual licenses are needed monthly. Microsoft continually updates the service to support the latest operating systems and applications, so ensuring our environment is up-to-date is crucial for optimal performance. Microsoft Intune is a good tool, and to simplify operations, I recommend a full cloud environment over a hybrid environment.
We ensure that the selected solution integrates smoothly within our IT infrastructure, including Active Directory, Azure AD, cloud platforms, and network equipment. Compatibility and integration are the key factors in achieving seamless deployment and operational efficiency. We also need to consider the security and compliance requirements and plan for scalability and future growth. We just started using Microsoft Copilot in Intune. We have some testing going on. We assigned the license to some of our help desk IDs. We are using it for some meetings and documentation purposes. It will automatically capture the key points when we are in the meeting. We have tested only a few features in Copilot. We need to explore it more. I would recommend Microsoft Intune. It is a very useful product. It is very helpful to monitor the devices and implement compliance policies. You can also get monthly reports and alerts about user activities. Security-wise and configuration-wise, it is a very useful product. I would rate Microsoft Intune an eight out of ten.

I am not using the enterprise application management features of Microsoft Intune Suite. For applications management, we are basically doing SaaS for most of our applications, so they are on the cloud. The least we do in our company is MFA or two-factor authentication and single sign-on into the enterprise applications, but they are basically on Amazon AWS or SAP. I am not using the advanced endpoint analytics in the tool. My company doesn't use Microsoft Copilot in Intune. I would say that my company is waiting for Microsoft Copilot to reach an advanced stage. When I say advanced stage, it means handling business cases that apply to our company's type of business. What we have seen in our company is that in areas like customer relationships and retail banking solutions, Microsoft Copilot works. With Microsoft Copilot, our company hasn't seen any business case related to our work. Microsoft Copilot is mostly for chatbots in CRM and other things, but that is not what my company wants. My company is waiting and hoping that we will see advanced features in Microsoft Copilot by next year. I am working with the basic capabilities of Microsoft Intune. Intune's Endpoint Privilege Management's least privileged access doesn't affect our organization's attack surface since it is handled by a different platform named Symantec. My company has not measured if Microsoft Intune has affected IT productivity in our organization, but I believe that it is something that we should do. I would suggest those planning to implement Microsoft Intune in their company start with a pilot group and implement every aspect they want to implement with that group across different devices, ranging from Androids, iOS, Google, and everything else. In my company, when we did encryption, we found that Android already has an encryption feature, which is basically for Android, so we couldn't turn on the encryption feature. If we did turn on the encryption feature, we would lose information because it was already encrypted by Android. I rate the tool a ten out of ten.

We're not using Microsoft Intune Suite's enterprise application management feature. We're using the business line version, which doesn't have all the features of the enterprise version. However, it provides us with updates on vulnerabilities and recommendations on the security side. For anyone considering the product, I would tell them to consider it if they want to have peace of mind and be able to give their best. Microsoft Copilot is on our roadmap for next year. Microsoft 365 and Microsoft security must be integrated for cloud and co-managed devices. This integration makes it easy to apply solutions from one point and have them work across the system. If we were using different systems, we would need to grant permission for them to communicate, which could cause issues. It helps to spend less time getting the work done. As for maintenance, I haven't noticed anything required on my part. I would recommend Intune, especially if you're not a large enterprise that can afford various tools from various vendors. Microsoft products make it very easy to run your business and have control and visibility. Sometimes, you don't know what's happening in your environment, and Microsoft Intune helps you understand what is happening. Overall, I would rate it a seven out of ten.

We use the workbook to describe data on device compliance. It helps us generate reports and analytics about how many devices are compliant and how many are below the patch compliance deadline for updates. We do use some of the reporting features. For endpoint security, we can check how many devices have been affected by malware and how many have an updated Defender platform. Microsoft Intune is a cloud solution, so there's no need to maintain servers, patch networks, or configure network info. It provides EDR capabilities. The solution also allows for mobility management, meaning we can manage mobile devices. Additionally, it can manage Chrome OS and Linux devices, though we aren't currently using that feature. The tool offers a centralized solution for deploying policies, compliance policies, application management, and patching servers and workstations. The product has reduced our costs and centralized management. We can manage all our devices from a single console, which is very effective for reporting. It simplifies deploying applications. We can push policies to ensure only certain users can access specific applications. Additionally, Intune allows us to create user and device groups. Currently, we manage privileges through Azure AD. We have groups set up with specific group policies and restrictions. For example, we've assigned certain licenses, such as E5 and Office 365 Copilot licenses, to users through these groups, granting them the necessary privileges to access these features. The solution supports logging, which helps us easily trace and identify issues. It also provides many reports on device compliance and configuration. This capability helps us reduce the time required to reach out to Azure. It centralizes the management of users, groups, and applications. In an on-premises setup, we would need multiple teams, such as an AD and application packaging team. With Microsoft Intune, we don't need to create packages for many applications, as they are already available in the line of business. I would recommend it to other users because it's a cloud solution that centralizes the management of endpoint devices, security, and Azure products. However, I would mention that reporting is an area where the tool could improve, as it's crucial for some organizations. If reporting is a critical need, Microsoft Intune might not fully meet those requirements. I rate it an eight out of ten.
I've been involved with the solution as a customer, integrator, reseller and consultant. I'm a freelancer as well and use it myself. I'm selling licenses and doing greenfield setups for different customers. We've not yet used all aspects of Intune suite, which is a new collection of advanced endpoint management and security tools. We have demoed it, and we are showing it in workshops. However, we do not have it in a live environment. A lot of customers are hesitating to buy the Intune suite due to the price. Some users may be paying fifty euros per user per month and then would need to add another 10 euros for the Intune suite, and that's a big step since that would be a fifth of the license that they're already paying. It's helpful that Intune is integrated with 365. It's important that everything is integrated together so that the Microsoft ecosystem becomes seamless. I'd rate the solution 8 out of 10 overall. It's a fund product. The possibilities are almost endless. It will make your life easier.

Intune can bring all of your endpoint and security management tools into one place. For the use case that we are doing, we are leveraging additional security software as well, so there is a little bit of everything. We are not using it for corporate assets. We are utilizing the M365 VM license set, which is a semi-part of Intune. That is how the users are reaching some of the remote corporate resources. I would rate Intune a 9 out of 10. It is definitely a nice product, but there are nuances to it. Especially with them coming out with and changing name schemes for a lot of the features, you have to do digging to find the whole use case, but with all the options and different use cases, there is a lot to be gained.

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.
I would rate Microsoft Intune 9 out of 10. We have around 20,000 users on Intune and 4 people who work directly with it. Intune requires annual maintenance to renew push certificates and tokens for business managers. For Windows devices, we might also need to deploy the latest application. Additionally, it's recommended to periodically review devices that are inactive, outdated, or haven't reported to Intune for a set amount of time. While Intune offers a "set and forget" approach for initial configuration, some ongoing maintenance is necessary to ensure its smooth operation. I recommend Microsoft Intune to others.
Having all endpoint and security management tools in one place streamlines IT and security operations. It simplifies processes for help desk support, image deployment, and asset management. Transitioning from SCCM to Intune has made tasks like application deployment easier and more efficient. Intune provides full endpoint visibility and IT control across devices. Intune has significantly improved our IT operations by consolidating management tasks into one portal. This streamlined approach has led to greater efficiency and effectiveness in our operations, as we no longer need to navigate multiple portals for various tasks. Overall, I find the user experience of Intune quite positive. It streamlines tasks such as deploying applications and managing mobile devices, which previously required multiple applications. Transitioning endpoints to Intune, including laptops and servers, has been straightforward. Creating security policies and compliance policies is also easier within Intune. We use the tunnel feature in Intune for MAM to provide remote access to corporate resources on mobile devices. We integrate Intune with Microsoft E5 Compliance Module for DLP, which helps maintain user privacy while protecting sensitive data. Intune is highly effective for security in hybrid work environments, especially for protecting data on both company and BYO devices. All policies, including those for MDM and BYOD, are managed through Intune, ensuring consistent enforcement. Additionally, Intune offers features like allowing BYOD devices to access corporate data while restricting downloads or uploads, enhancing security without compromising productivity. Intune's utilization of Microsoft security signals enhances our organization's security by providing visibility into Defender, MDM, Nathan, DLP, and other aspects. While there is a separate Defender portal, Intune allows access to certain features, offering comprehensive security management within a unified platform. We use the Endpoint Privilege Management feature in Intune to control user access, especially for system admin accounts. This helps improve security by limiting the visibility of passwords and enforcing password rotations. Additionally, role-based access is managed through Intune, enhancing security without hindering productivity. Endpoint Privilege Management helps reduce our organization's attack surface by providing greater visibility into account usage and usability. Previously, we lacked this visibility, but now we can grant engineers precise roles and responsibilities through privileged access management. Additionally, just-in-time access limits privileges to a small window of time, minimizing the risk of prolonged access. Intune has positively affected IT productivity in our organization. It offers easy deployment, a user-friendly portal accessible both on and off the network with the right MFA, and consolidates all features, policies, and tools under one portal. This integration has increased efficiency as we no longer need to navigate multiple portals for different tasks, such as SCCM or image deployment. Overall, Intune has helped reduce the risk of security breaches in our organization. Reducing privileges on accounts limits the impact of potential breaches. Additionally, with real-time data provided through Intune and Defender, we have better endpoint protection, further enhancing our security posture. Intune has helped our organization save costs by being cheaper than purchasing SCCM licenses and other licenses. We estimated it to be at least 50% cheaper than our previous budget for similar solutions. By using Intune, we have consolidated vendors by removing SCCM and Endpoint Protection from our portfolio. Defender now serves as our primary endpoint protection solution, streamlining our vendor management. The consolidation of vendors by using Microsoft Intune has not affected our security posture negatively. It has improved effectiveness, although we removed two security vendors from our portfolio, our footprint with Microsoft increased, balancing the impact. It didn't affect our licensing costs. In fact, we saved money as the cost of Intune was lower than what we were paying for the mobile line and SCCM. The integration of Intune suite capabilities with Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Security is crucial in our journey to the cloud. Both aspects, cloud management, and security, are equally important in our strategy. Overall, I would rate Microsoft Intune as a nine out of ten.
I would recommend Microsoft Intune to others. If you have any plans for having remote work in your organization, Microsoft Intune has the capability. In the future, you will also see Microsoft handling everything related to Active Directory, which is the backbone of an organization, from Microsoft Intune itself. I would advise learning Microsoft Intune as soon as possible because this is the future. I would rate Microsoft Intune a nine out of ten.
We used Microsoft Intune to solve problems, such as ensuring device security and compliance. For instance, some Redmi devices weren't meeting encryption requirements. We addressed this by enabling developer options on those devices, specifically, Redmi models 5 and above. We documented this solution for reference and future troubleshooting. The most effective feature for managing and securing our mobile workforce is multifactor authentication. It adds an extra layer of security by requiring additional authentication steps when logging into devices. Additionally, conditional access policies allow us to set specific rules, such as blocking downloads or file transfers from personal devices to company resources, ensuring compliance with security policies. It took about six months to start seeing the benefits of Intune deployment, especially regarding application deployment and user machine management. Intune integration with other Microsoft products has strengthened our device management strategy by incorporating in-house applications like Outlook, Wi-Fi, and others. Additionally, it provides a mechanism similar to the Google Play Store for adding required applications internally, including Microsoft products like Dropbox, Google Chrome, and others. Intune is deployed across various locations and departments within our organization. Licenses are allocated based on department and employee roles by our Office 365 team. Users are added to Active Directory groups, and ServiceNow automates configuration and support requests. Intune requires regular maintenance, typically provided by the IT team or architects. Microsoft releases service updates approximately every three to four months, during which maintenance downtime may occur. I would recommend Microsoft Intune to others, especially those working in the field of technology. Staying updated with new technologies is crucial, and Intune offers valuable features for device management and security. However, the decision to use Intune depends on individual needs and preferences, as well as company requirements. Overall, I would give Microsoft Intune a seven out of ten. While it is a solid tool, there are other competitors in the market like AirWatch and BlackBerry UEM that offer similar functionalities.
I would rate Microsoft Intune eight out of ten. There are some improvements concerning the reports and there are other design-related concerns that we are looking at in Intune. We don't have the tunnel option because we primarily work in a restricted computer environment. Our organization uses Microsoft Intune to manage applications within a dedicated sandbox environment. We perform frequent updates to ensure everything is current. During the initial onboarding process, we encountered some challenges, and multiple teams were involved in resolving them. For example, users from India might experience issues like broken URLs or restricted access due to their ISPs. Similarly, in China, certain URLs might be blocked by some internet service providers. To address these issues, we initially involved additional administrators from each region on the administrative side. However, we've since transitioned to a centralized management structure with a core team of five to six members overseeing the entire organization. We maintain a separate development Intune environment for User Acceptance Testing specific to the Asia Pacific region. Since our production environment is also located in Asia Pacific, we essentially have two Intune instances: one for development and one for production. We also have around 290,000 devices. We have a team of five Intune administrators. The only maintenance required for Intune is the updates. I recommend Microsoft Intune. Based on the number of users and devices you're enrolling, I recommend having separate UAT and production Intune environments for larger deployments. For simpler environments, a single Intune license is sufficient to manage your devices and integrate with your Enterprise and Microsoft 365 solutions.
We trust Microsoft. They are a big and good company. Microsoft is working very hard on security. We do not have any problems with Microsoft. I would recommend Intune for all companies. It is a very centralized and good solution. I would rate Intune a ten out of ten.
I rate Microsoft Intune an eight out of ten. I'm conflicted about consolidating our vendors. On the one hand, it would simplify things considerably, which is appealing. However, I worry about relying solely on one supplier, preferring a layered approach with multiple vendors. Ideally, we'd maintain a multi-vendor setup, but the current complexity makes it challenging. There are currently vulnerabilities related to Microsoft's primary factor authentication, including several unpatched zero-day exploits. These represent ongoing security concerns. It's crucial for our organization that the Intune suite integrates seamlessly with Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Security, both for cloud-based and co-managed devices. This is especially important considering the recent trend of moving data back on-premises. We believe a hybrid environment offers the best of both worlds, but many tools are cloud-only, making them incompatible with our on-premises servers or unable to manage them effectively. Thankfully, the Intune suite has addressed this gap, providing us with much-needed flexibility and functionality.

We have 100 plus customers and a team of 20 people using Microsoft Intune. It's important that Intune's suite is integrated with Microsoft 365, and Microsoft Security for both cloud and co-managed devices. Intune does not require maintenance but we do need to monitor the status of our devices. I recommend trying Microsoft Intune.
Microsoft Intune has improved access to devices for remote wipes. We can act quickly whenever someone leaves a company or a device gets stolen. It offers more visibility into our IT group. The tool's cloud-focused availability has improved the organizational security posture. It has helped to save time. We can do a lot more with a smaller team. I rate the product a nine out of ten.

Now, we can do everything from a single console, including security, management, encryption, device vulnerability, and anything else we want to do with the device. We can even run any script. There is no maintenance required from our end for Microsoft Intune. To use Microsoft Intune, we must have an active domain. We can then purchase Intune directly from Microsoft or from a partner. If I had the opportunity to choose a configuration management tool again, I would choose Microsoft Intune.

I give Microsoft Intune an eight out of ten. Microsoft Intune doesn't require any maintenance from our end. I recommend Microsoft Intune because it can be easily integrated with other Microsoft products into a single suite, making it a plug-and-play solution that can be set up with ease.
I give the solution a seven out of ten. There is no external maintenance, but at the device level, we must adhere to Microsoft's patches and policies and keep our devices up-to-date with the latest patches. The company portal may not allow for older versions, so we must ensure that the solution is kept up-to-date. Microsoft Intune is a very good solution and when compared to VMware Workspace ONE, it is a strong competitor. I would not call it the topmost or leading product in this domain, however, with Microsoft's progress, I'm sure it will be a leader in a few years. On the Microsoft side, they may need to improve their support system and build releases of the solution.

I give the solution a seven out of ten. As of now, we deployed the solution onto 10,000 devices and when completed it will be 30,000 devices. The solution is used in multiple departments in multiple geographical locations. Microsoft Intune is a Windows solution, and organizations can take advantage of its features. However, I would not recommend using iOS devices with Microsoft Intune as it is suited for Windows only.
While evaluating, I'd advise evaluating each and every feature of Intune and using multiple operating systems, such as Android, iOS, Windows, and macOS. You should see the capabilities of Intune and also check how to integrate Intune with other solutions. For example, for security, there is endpoint protection, etc. You need to check that because one of the requirements is to make sure that the computers and the mobile devices are secure, but Intune cannot secure your device itself. It's just an MDM solution. It only restricts some of the functionality. It cannot do more in terms of security. You need another solution to secure your devices, and you must check that your security solution can be integrated with Intune. I'd rate Intune an eight out of ten.

My advice would be to take your time and test what you deploy, due to the fact that sometimes a policy that you deploy with Intune can come into effect two or three days after a device is installed. Sometimes, testing for one hour is not really accurate. You need to test for a minimum of three days before you can actually see the results. There are some improvements needed, but overall, it's a very solid product.
I give the solution a ten out of ten. I manage the endpoints for the implementation strategy and use the desktops or Windows for migration. I'm not from the mobile device management team, but I can give presentations on how the devices will work in the Autopilot zone with Intune. I'm also familiar with conditional access policies and what needs to be in place for a successful migration. We have 35,000 end-users. Maintenance is minimal. There have been no reports of any outages from the cloud perspective, meaning that any downtime is from Microsoft itself. However, on-prem systems may experience challenges. We don't need to worry about downtime and all the systems will still be operational. New customers are definitely going to reach out to Microsoft for purchasing all the products. Microsoft will have its own lab. They will give us the live demo from the lab, but that won't be a feasible solution. We should check and bring that solution to our environment. It would be good if we can create our own test environment and then ask Microsoft to perform all those configurations and just train our engineer about the Intune part. We will know all the legacy parts of our environment which could impact when we are moving our devices to Intune, either the legacy app, legacy hardware, whether those devices are supported, the TPM, the Tested Platform Module, the BitLocker configuration, everything we need to understand before we move our device to Intune.
It is suitable for small, medium, and large companies, but it also depends on your requirements, budget, and the things you want to restrict. I would rate it a nine out of ten.
I rate Microsoft Intune eight out of 10. Some functionality needs to be improved, but I believe Microsoft is working on it. They're developing the tool, and those features will be added, but I will give it an eight today. If you're thinking about implementing Intune, you should look at what you already have in place. For example, if I wanted to bring my laptops onto Azure AD, Azure AD will do the job for me, so I don't need to invest in a regular Active Directory server. Either I buy the server and run it on the cloud or I upgrade Office and Business Premium gives me all of the features. Business Premium is the top license. You have Business Basic, Standard, and Premium. The Enterprise equivalent is E3 and E5. The Business Premium is equivalent to E3. There is a limit on the number of machines. Per Microsoft's licensing model, you can do up to 300 machines on Business Premium. At 301, you have to switch to an Enterprise agreement.

You should probably consider cloud deployment before local deployment because Microsoft has made significant investments in the cloud. The local deployment is still in place. Microsoft's cloud comes with a lot of extra features that are free of charge. Furthermore, if you deploy it locally, you must own SQL, whereas, in the cloud, SQL is not required. I would rate Microsoft Endpoint Manager a nine out of ten.
We use both cloud and on-premises deployments. We're quite satisfied with this product. I would rate the solution at a seven out of ten. We've mostly been happy with the product.

The solution is a SaaS and therefore, we are on the latest version of the solution right now. I'd advise new users to start with a good, high-level design, functional design, from about the naming of conventions, policies, categories, device categories, et cetera. I would rate the solution overall at an eight out of ten.

I'm a service manager right now. I'm a little bit within the scope of the consultant versus the advisor. We're using the latest version of the solution. Potential new users need to strongly assess their needs. If they are already on Microsoft stack, they shouldn't look for any other solution than that. If their daily usage or utilization or needs are varied and they have a variety of devices, not necessarily based on Windows or other standard platforms, they might consider a different solution, especially if they need Chromebook support. I'd rate the solution at a seven out of ten.
Microsoft Intune is a comprehensive cloud-based service that allows you to remotely manage mobile devices and mobile applications without worrying about the security of your organization’s data. Device and app management can be used on company-owned devices as well as personal devices.
In an increasingly mobile workforce, Microsoft Intune keeps your sensitive data safe while on the move. Microsoft Intune makes it possible for your team members to work anywhere using their mobile devices....
Overall, I would rate Microsoft Intune an eight out of ten.
Make sure you have a test environment or test devices. Don't push a policy out to all devices unless you absolutely understand what it's going to do.
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.
This is the platform for every enterprise. It is easy to manage all devices such as Windows, iOS, and macOS in one place. You can also manage Android devices. Overall, I would rate Microsoft Intune an eight out of ten because there is always room for more modifications and improvements.
I rate Microsoft Intune eight out of 10.
I would rate Microsoft Intune seven out of ten. Intune is a valuable tool, but following the screen prompts can sometimes be challenging. Two of us are responsible for the maintenance of Intune.
I rate Microsoft Intune nine out of ten. The integration of Intune Suite with Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Security is included in our E5 license, providing us with the Intune license at no additional cost. This eliminates the need to purchase a separate Intune license, saving us money and streamlining our licensing.
Microsoft Intune brings all our endpoint and security management tools into one place for mobile. We work closely with security, which mostly implements the overall rules on what users should be able to do, how the new data is encrypted, and how secure data can't leave the Intune environment. It's easy to go into Intune and apply all of those policies and have them work for you. I would assess Microsoft Intune very highly for securing hybrid work and protecting company data via BYOD devices. I think it's very secure. Everyone in IT has to be available during off hours to make sure that everyone can see what's going on if there's an emergency. Since Microsoft Intune has been incorporated into our Microsoft E5 licenses, our organization has saved costs compared to using other EMM providers. Microsoft Intune is a comprehensive solution that has a lot of features and manages all your endpoints. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
I would rate Microsoft Intune eight out of ten. I would recommend Microsoft Intune to others. Intune offers a wide array of capabilities, and even after extensive familiarity with the platform, it's difficult to fully grasp its potential. To effectively implement Intune, it's recommended to conduct thorough research, primarily through online resources, to understand specific requirements and capabilities in advance.
I rate Microsoft Intune 10 out of 10.
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.
I give Microsoft Intune a rating of nine out of ten. Intune stands out as one of the top solutions in the market, and its capabilities are expanding with the integration of cloud PCs, Chrome OS, and Linux systems. For any large enterprise, I endorse both Intune and Defender. The recent CrowdStrike outage, which is the largest in IT history, affected only systems without Microsoft Defender but with CrowdStrike. This incident underscores the importance for enterprises to transition towards deploying Intune and Defender for enhanced security.
I would rate Microsoft Intune seven out of ten. Because of all the training and information, it took me a couple of years to see the benefits of Microsoft Intune. Managing deployed applications requires maintenance, but Intune, being cloud-based, does not necessitate such upkeep.
I would rate Microsoft Intune eight out of ten. Intune requires no maintenance after initial deployment, but ongoing subscriptions are necessary for each user as individual licenses are needed monthly. Microsoft continually updates the service to support the latest operating systems and applications, so ensuring our environment is up-to-date is crucial for optimal performance. Microsoft Intune is a good tool, and to simplify operations, I recommend a full cloud environment over a hybrid environment.
We ensure that the selected solution integrates smoothly within our IT infrastructure, including Active Directory, Azure AD, cloud platforms, and network equipment. Compatibility and integration are the key factors in achieving seamless deployment and operational efficiency. We also need to consider the security and compliance requirements and plan for scalability and future growth. We just started using Microsoft Copilot in Intune. We have some testing going on. We assigned the license to some of our help desk IDs. We are using it for some meetings and documentation purposes. It will automatically capture the key points when we are in the meeting. We have tested only a few features in Copilot. We need to explore it more. I would recommend Microsoft Intune. It is a very useful product. It is very helpful to monitor the devices and implement compliance policies. You can also get monthly reports and alerts about user activities. Security-wise and configuration-wise, it is a very useful product. I would rate Microsoft Intune an eight out of ten.
I am not using the enterprise application management features of Microsoft Intune Suite. For applications management, we are basically doing SaaS for most of our applications, so they are on the cloud. The least we do in our company is MFA or two-factor authentication and single sign-on into the enterprise applications, but they are basically on Amazon AWS or SAP. I am not using the advanced endpoint analytics in the tool. My company doesn't use Microsoft Copilot in Intune. I would say that my company is waiting for Microsoft Copilot to reach an advanced stage. When I say advanced stage, it means handling business cases that apply to our company's type of business. What we have seen in our company is that in areas like customer relationships and retail banking solutions, Microsoft Copilot works. With Microsoft Copilot, our company hasn't seen any business case related to our work. Microsoft Copilot is mostly for chatbots in CRM and other things, but that is not what my company wants. My company is waiting and hoping that we will see advanced features in Microsoft Copilot by next year. I am working with the basic capabilities of Microsoft Intune. Intune's Endpoint Privilege Management's least privileged access doesn't affect our organization's attack surface since it is handled by a different platform named Symantec. My company has not measured if Microsoft Intune has affected IT productivity in our organization, but I believe that it is something that we should do. I would suggest those planning to implement Microsoft Intune in their company start with a pilot group and implement every aspect they want to implement with that group across different devices, ranging from Androids, iOS, Google, and everything else. In my company, when we did encryption, we found that Android already has an encryption feature, which is basically for Android, so we couldn't turn on the encryption feature. If we did turn on the encryption feature, we would lose information because it was already encrypted by Android. I rate the tool a ten out of ten.
We're not using Microsoft Intune Suite's enterprise application management feature. We're using the business line version, which doesn't have all the features of the enterprise version. However, it provides us with updates on vulnerabilities and recommendations on the security side. For anyone considering the product, I would tell them to consider it if they want to have peace of mind and be able to give their best. Microsoft Copilot is on our roadmap for next year. Microsoft 365 and Microsoft security must be integrated for cloud and co-managed devices. This integration makes it easy to apply solutions from one point and have them work across the system. If we were using different systems, we would need to grant permission for them to communicate, which could cause issues. It helps to spend less time getting the work done. As for maintenance, I haven't noticed anything required on my part. I would recommend Intune, especially if you're not a large enterprise that can afford various tools from various vendors. Microsoft products make it very easy to run your business and have control and visibility. Sometimes, you don't know what's happening in your environment, and Microsoft Intune helps you understand what is happening. Overall, I would rate it a seven out of ten.
We use the workbook to describe data on device compliance. It helps us generate reports and analytics about how many devices are compliant and how many are below the patch compliance deadline for updates. We do use some of the reporting features. For endpoint security, we can check how many devices have been affected by malware and how many have an updated Defender platform. Microsoft Intune is a cloud solution, so there's no need to maintain servers, patch networks, or configure network info. It provides EDR capabilities. The solution also allows for mobility management, meaning we can manage mobile devices. Additionally, it can manage Chrome OS and Linux devices, though we aren't currently using that feature. The tool offers a centralized solution for deploying policies, compliance policies, application management, and patching servers and workstations. The product has reduced our costs and centralized management. We can manage all our devices from a single console, which is very effective for reporting. It simplifies deploying applications. We can push policies to ensure only certain users can access specific applications. Additionally, Intune allows us to create user and device groups. Currently, we manage privileges through Azure AD. We have groups set up with specific group policies and restrictions. For example, we've assigned certain licenses, such as E5 and Office 365 Copilot licenses, to users through these groups, granting them the necessary privileges to access these features. The solution supports logging, which helps us easily trace and identify issues. It also provides many reports on device compliance and configuration. This capability helps us reduce the time required to reach out to Azure. It centralizes the management of users, groups, and applications. In an on-premises setup, we would need multiple teams, such as an AD and application packaging team. With Microsoft Intune, we don't need to create packages for many applications, as they are already available in the line of business. I would recommend it to other users because it's a cloud solution that centralizes the management of endpoint devices, security, and Azure products. However, I would mention that reporting is an area where the tool could improve, as it's crucial for some organizations. If reporting is a critical need, Microsoft Intune might not fully meet those requirements. I rate it an eight out of ten.
I would rate Microsoft Intune ten out of ten.
I would rate Microsoft Intune seven out of ten. A selling point for us was that Intune reports back to the Microsoft dashboards that we already use.
I've been involved with the solution as a customer, integrator, reseller and consultant. I'm a freelancer as well and use it myself. I'm selling licenses and doing greenfield setups for different customers. We've not yet used all aspects of Intune suite, which is a new collection of advanced endpoint management and security tools. We have demoed it, and we are showing it in workshops. However, we do not have it in a live environment. A lot of customers are hesitating to buy the Intune suite due to the price. Some users may be paying fifty euros per user per month and then would need to add another 10 euros for the Intune suite, and that's a big step since that would be a fifth of the license that they're already paying. It's helpful that Intune is integrated with 365. It's important that everything is integrated together so that the Microsoft ecosystem becomes seamless. I'd rate the solution 8 out of 10 overall. It's a fund product. The possibilities are almost endless. It will make your life easier.
Intune can bring all of your endpoint and security management tools into one place. For the use case that we are doing, we are leveraging additional security software as well, so there is a little bit of everything. We are not using it for corporate assets. We are utilizing the M365 VM license set, which is a semi-part of Intune. That is how the users are reaching some of the remote corporate resources. I would rate Intune a 9 out of 10. It is definitely a nice product, but there are nuances to it. Especially with them coming out with and changing name schemes for a lot of the features, you have to do digging to find the whole use case, but with all the options and different use cases, there is a lot to be gained.
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.
I would rate Microsoft Intune 9 out of 10. We have around 20,000 users on Intune and 4 people who work directly with it. Intune requires annual maintenance to renew push certificates and tokens for business managers. For Windows devices, we might also need to deploy the latest application. Additionally, it's recommended to periodically review devices that are inactive, outdated, or haven't reported to Intune for a set amount of time. While Intune offers a "set and forget" approach for initial configuration, some ongoing maintenance is necessary to ensure its smooth operation. I recommend Microsoft Intune to others.
Having all endpoint and security management tools in one place streamlines IT and security operations. It simplifies processes for help desk support, image deployment, and asset management. Transitioning from SCCM to Intune has made tasks like application deployment easier and more efficient. Intune provides full endpoint visibility and IT control across devices. Intune has significantly improved our IT operations by consolidating management tasks into one portal. This streamlined approach has led to greater efficiency and effectiveness in our operations, as we no longer need to navigate multiple portals for various tasks. Overall, I find the user experience of Intune quite positive. It streamlines tasks such as deploying applications and managing mobile devices, which previously required multiple applications. Transitioning endpoints to Intune, including laptops and servers, has been straightforward. Creating security policies and compliance policies is also easier within Intune. We use the tunnel feature in Intune for MAM to provide remote access to corporate resources on mobile devices. We integrate Intune with Microsoft E5 Compliance Module for DLP, which helps maintain user privacy while protecting sensitive data. Intune is highly effective for security in hybrid work environments, especially for protecting data on both company and BYO devices. All policies, including those for MDM and BYOD, are managed through Intune, ensuring consistent enforcement. Additionally, Intune offers features like allowing BYOD devices to access corporate data while restricting downloads or uploads, enhancing security without compromising productivity. Intune's utilization of Microsoft security signals enhances our organization's security by providing visibility into Defender, MDM, Nathan, DLP, and other aspects. While there is a separate Defender portal, Intune allows access to certain features, offering comprehensive security management within a unified platform. We use the Endpoint Privilege Management feature in Intune to control user access, especially for system admin accounts. This helps improve security by limiting the visibility of passwords and enforcing password rotations. Additionally, role-based access is managed through Intune, enhancing security without hindering productivity. Endpoint Privilege Management helps reduce our organization's attack surface by providing greater visibility into account usage and usability. Previously, we lacked this visibility, but now we can grant engineers precise roles and responsibilities through privileged access management. Additionally, just-in-time access limits privileges to a small window of time, minimizing the risk of prolonged access. Intune has positively affected IT productivity in our organization. It offers easy deployment, a user-friendly portal accessible both on and off the network with the right MFA, and consolidates all features, policies, and tools under one portal. This integration has increased efficiency as we no longer need to navigate multiple portals for different tasks, such as SCCM or image deployment. Overall, Intune has helped reduce the risk of security breaches in our organization. Reducing privileges on accounts limits the impact of potential breaches. Additionally, with real-time data provided through Intune and Defender, we have better endpoint protection, further enhancing our security posture. Intune has helped our organization save costs by being cheaper than purchasing SCCM licenses and other licenses. We estimated it to be at least 50% cheaper than our previous budget for similar solutions. By using Intune, we have consolidated vendors by removing SCCM and Endpoint Protection from our portfolio. Defender now serves as our primary endpoint protection solution, streamlining our vendor management. The consolidation of vendors by using Microsoft Intune has not affected our security posture negatively. It has improved effectiveness, although we removed two security vendors from our portfolio, our footprint with Microsoft increased, balancing the impact. It didn't affect our licensing costs. In fact, we saved money as the cost of Intune was lower than what we were paying for the mobile line and SCCM. The integration of Intune suite capabilities with Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Security is crucial in our journey to the cloud. Both aspects, cloud management, and security, are equally important in our strategy. Overall, I would rate Microsoft Intune as a nine out of ten.
I would recommend Microsoft Intune to others. If you have any plans for having remote work in your organization, Microsoft Intune has the capability. In the future, you will also see Microsoft handling everything related to Active Directory, which is the backbone of an organization, from Microsoft Intune itself. I would advise learning Microsoft Intune as soon as possible because this is the future. I would rate Microsoft Intune a nine out of ten.
We used Microsoft Intune to solve problems, such as ensuring device security and compliance. For instance, some Redmi devices weren't meeting encryption requirements. We addressed this by enabling developer options on those devices, specifically, Redmi models 5 and above. We documented this solution for reference and future troubleshooting. The most effective feature for managing and securing our mobile workforce is multifactor authentication. It adds an extra layer of security by requiring additional authentication steps when logging into devices. Additionally, conditional access policies allow us to set specific rules, such as blocking downloads or file transfers from personal devices to company resources, ensuring compliance with security policies. It took about six months to start seeing the benefits of Intune deployment, especially regarding application deployment and user machine management. Intune integration with other Microsoft products has strengthened our device management strategy by incorporating in-house applications like Outlook, Wi-Fi, and others. Additionally, it provides a mechanism similar to the Google Play Store for adding required applications internally, including Microsoft products like Dropbox, Google Chrome, and others. Intune is deployed across various locations and departments within our organization. Licenses are allocated based on department and employee roles by our Office 365 team. Users are added to Active Directory groups, and ServiceNow automates configuration and support requests. Intune requires regular maintenance, typically provided by the IT team or architects. Microsoft releases service updates approximately every three to four months, during which maintenance downtime may occur. I would recommend Microsoft Intune to others, especially those working in the field of technology. Staying updated with new technologies is crucial, and Intune offers valuable features for device management and security. However, the decision to use Intune depends on individual needs and preferences, as well as company requirements. Overall, I would give Microsoft Intune a seven out of ten. While it is a solid tool, there are other competitors in the market like AirWatch and BlackBerry UEM that offer similar functionalities.
I would rate Microsoft Intune eight out of ten. There are some improvements concerning the reports and there are other design-related concerns that we are looking at in Intune. We don't have the tunnel option because we primarily work in a restricted computer environment. Our organization uses Microsoft Intune to manage applications within a dedicated sandbox environment. We perform frequent updates to ensure everything is current. During the initial onboarding process, we encountered some challenges, and multiple teams were involved in resolving them. For example, users from India might experience issues like broken URLs or restricted access due to their ISPs. Similarly, in China, certain URLs might be blocked by some internet service providers. To address these issues, we initially involved additional administrators from each region on the administrative side. However, we've since transitioned to a centralized management structure with a core team of five to six members overseeing the entire organization. We maintain a separate development Intune environment for User Acceptance Testing specific to the Asia Pacific region. Since our production environment is also located in Asia Pacific, we essentially have two Intune instances: one for development and one for production. We also have around 290,000 devices. We have a team of five Intune administrators. The only maintenance required for Intune is the updates. I recommend Microsoft Intune. Based on the number of users and devices you're enrolling, I recommend having separate UAT and production Intune environments for larger deployments. For simpler environments, a single Intune license is sufficient to manage your devices and integrate with your Enterprise and Microsoft 365 solutions.
We trust Microsoft. They are a big and good company. Microsoft is working very hard on security. We do not have any problems with Microsoft. I would recommend Intune for all companies. It is a very centralized and good solution. I would rate Intune a ten out of ten.
I rate Microsoft Intune an eight out of ten. I'm conflicted about consolidating our vendors. On the one hand, it would simplify things considerably, which is appealing. However, I worry about relying solely on one supplier, preferring a layered approach with multiple vendors. Ideally, we'd maintain a multi-vendor setup, but the current complexity makes it challenging. There are currently vulnerabilities related to Microsoft's primary factor authentication, including several unpatched zero-day exploits. These represent ongoing security concerns. It's crucial for our organization that the Intune suite integrates seamlessly with Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Security, both for cloud-based and co-managed devices. This is especially important considering the recent trend of moving data back on-premises. We believe a hybrid environment offers the best of both worlds, but many tools are cloud-only, making them incompatible with our on-premises servers or unable to manage them effectively. Thankfully, the Intune suite has addressed this gap, providing us with much-needed flexibility and functionality.
I would rate Microsoft Intune nine out of ten. We have only 100 users. It is easy for us to administrate this number of devices. A junior-level infrastructure analyst manages the solution. Before implementing Microsoft Intune make sure to have a good plan and become familiar with all the solution's features.
Overall, Intune is not bad. It's okay.
I would rate Microsoft Intune a seven out of ten. Intune has helped us consolidate vendors. The consolidation has saved us on licensing costs. We have 100 plus customers and a team of 20 people using Microsoft Intune. It's important that Intune's suite is integrated with Microsoft 365, and Microsoft Security for both cloud and co-managed devices. Intune does not require maintenance but we do need to monitor the status of our devices. I recommend trying Microsoft Intune.
Microsoft Intune has improved access to devices for remote wipes. We can act quickly whenever someone leaves a company or a device gets stolen. It offers more visibility into our IT group. The tool's cloud-focused availability has improved the organizational security posture. It has helped to save time. We can do a lot more with a smaller team. I rate the product a nine out of ten.
We are working with a Microsoft partner to improve our environment's security. It helps us condense our profile into one instead of three. We expect time and money savings in the long run since it is a cost-effective solution. We are Microsoft partners. It integrates everything into one platform, which helps us save time since we don't have to jump from one platform to another. I rate the product a seven. It is a good product with good capabilities. It is a solid solution that is easy to work with.
I would recommend using this solution. Overall, I would rate Microsoft Intune an eight out of ten. If they could make the integration a lot easier, it would be better.
Just go with it. It's very simple to use. Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten.
I give Microsoft Intune a seven out of ten. We have not required any maintenance as of now. I recommend Microsoft Intune.
I give Microsoft Intune an eight out of ten. It solves all of the problems that we were previously logging into other products to handle. Now, we can do everything from a single console, including security, management, encryption, device vulnerability, and anything else we want to do with the device. We can even run any script. There is no maintenance required from our end for Microsoft Intune. To use Microsoft Intune, we must have an active domain. We can then purchase Intune directly from Microsoft or from a partner. If I had the opportunity to choose a configuration management tool again, I would choose Microsoft Intune.
I give Microsoft Intune an eight out of ten. Microsoft Intune doesn't require any maintenance from our end. I recommend Microsoft Intune because it can be easily integrated with other Microsoft products into a single suite, making it a plug-and-play solution that can be set up with ease.
Overall, I'd rate it an eight out of ten.
I give the solution a seven out of ten. There is no external maintenance, but at the device level, we must adhere to Microsoft's patches and policies and keep our devices up-to-date with the latest patches. The company portal may not allow for older versions, so we must ensure that the solution is kept up-to-date. Microsoft Intune is a very good solution and when compared to VMware Workspace ONE, it is a strong competitor. I would not call it the topmost or leading product in this domain, however, with Microsoft's progress, I'm sure it will be a leader in a few years. On the Microsoft side, they may need to improve their support system and build releases of the solution.
I rate the solution seven out of ten. My advice to those evaluating Intune is that you need to know Azure. This isn't a product you can jump into without prior Azure knowledge.
I give the solution a seven out of ten. As of now, we deployed the solution onto 10,000 devices and when completed it will be 30,000 devices. The solution is used in multiple departments in multiple geographical locations. Microsoft Intune is a Windows solution, and organizations can take advantage of its features. However, I would not recommend using iOS devices with Microsoft Intune as it is suited for Windows only.
While evaluating, I'd advise evaluating each and every feature of Intune and using multiple operating systems, such as Android, iOS, Windows, and macOS. You should see the capabilities of Intune and also check how to integrate Intune with other solutions. For example, for security, there is endpoint protection, etc. You need to check that because one of the requirements is to make sure that the computers and the mobile devices are secure, but Intune cannot secure your device itself. It's just an MDM solution. It only restricts some of the functionality. It cannot do more in terms of security. You need another solution to secure your devices, and you must check that your security solution can be integrated with Intune. I'd rate Intune an eight out of ten.
My advice would be to take your time and test what you deploy, due to the fact that sometimes a policy that you deploy with Intune can come into effect two or three days after a device is installed. Sometimes, testing for one hour is not really accurate. You need to test for a minimum of three days before you can actually see the results. There are some improvements needed, but overall, it's a very solid product.
I give the solution a ten out of ten. I manage the endpoints for the implementation strategy and use the desktops or Windows for migration. I'm not from the mobile device management team, but I can give presentations on how the devices will work in the Autopilot zone with Intune. I'm also familiar with conditional access policies and what needs to be in place for a successful migration. We have 35,000 end-users. Maintenance is minimal. There have been no reports of any outages from the cloud perspective, meaning that any downtime is from Microsoft itself. However, on-prem systems may experience challenges. We don't need to worry about downtime and all the systems will still be operational. New customers are definitely going to reach out to Microsoft for purchasing all the products. Microsoft will have its own lab. They will give us the live demo from the lab, but that won't be a feasible solution. We should check and bring that solution to our environment. It would be good if we can create our own test environment and then ask Microsoft to perform all those configurations and just train our engineer about the Intune part. We will know all the legacy parts of our environment which could impact when we are moving our devices to Intune, either the legacy app, legacy hardware, whether those devices are supported, the TPM, the Tested Platform Module, the BitLocker configuration, everything we need to understand before we move our device to Intune.
It is suitable for small, medium, and large companies, but it also depends on your requirements, budget, and the things you want to restrict. I would rate it a nine out of ten.
I rate Microsoft Intune eight out of 10. Some functionality needs to be improved, but I believe Microsoft is working on it. They're developing the tool, and those features will be added, but I will give it an eight today. If you're thinking about implementing Intune, you should look at what you already have in place. For example, if I wanted to bring my laptops onto Azure AD, Azure AD will do the job for me, so I don't need to invest in a regular Active Directory server. Either I buy the server and run it on the cloud or I upgrade Office and Business Premium gives me all of the features. Business Premium is the top license. You have Business Basic, Standard, and Premium. The Enterprise equivalent is E3 and E5. The Business Premium is equivalent to E3. There is a limit on the number of machines. Per Microsoft's licensing model, you can do up to 300 machines on Business Premium. At 301, you have to switch to an Enterprise agreement.
I rate Intune 8.5 out of 10. My advice to future users is to perform a proper inventory before enrollment. This is essential cost-wise. You need a good idea of how much it will cost per month so you don't overrun your budget.
I'm a partner. I'm using the most up-to-date version of the solution. While the solution was on-prem initially, now it's converted to more of a hybrid. They have co-management so you can manage on-prem and cloud together. I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.
You should probably consider cloud deployment before local deployment because Microsoft has made significant investments in the cloud. The local deployment is still in place. Microsoft's cloud comes with a lot of extra features that are free of charge. Furthermore, if you deploy it locally, you must own SQL, whereas, in the cloud, SQL is not required. I would rate Microsoft Endpoint Manager a nine out of ten.
We use both cloud and on-premises deployments. We're quite satisfied with this product. I would rate the solution at a seven out of ten. We've mostly been happy with the product.
The solution is a SaaS and therefore, we are on the latest version of the solution right now. I'd advise new users to start with a good, high-level design, functional design, from about the naming of conventions, policies, categories, device categories, et cetera. I would rate the solution overall at an eight out of ten.
I'm a service manager right now. I'm a little bit within the scope of the consultant versus the advisor. We're using the latest version of the solution. Potential new users need to strongly assess their needs. If they are already on Microsoft stack, they shouldn't look for any other solution than that. If their daily usage or utilization or needs are varied and they have a variety of devices, not necessarily based on Windows or other standard platforms, they might consider a different solution, especially if they need Chromebook support. I'd rate the solution at a seven out of ten.
