Hi guys,
Our company is considering implementing Microsoft Intune. We have been using MS Business Standard and trying to upgrade our licenses to MS Business Premium which has MS Intune, Azure Premium p1.
What are your experiences with MS Intune?
Please share your any opinions freely.
Thank you in advance
Hi
I'm exactly in the same spot and finished my share of the initial setup so here are the immediate takeaways
1. Many important tools in one location - You get the Azure AD - almost identical to the in-house AD if you don't have in-house - no worries - you will miss only policy enforcement and GPO. You can do policy via Intune
2. Encryption - you can create BitLocker encryption and also set a password for the encrypted system f needed. If you have manually encrypted your endpoint then the encryption can be imported into Intune and AAD to become centrally managed. YOU CAN WIPE THE DRIVE IF NEEDED !!!!!!!
3. Office 365 ATP -for email protection you get a malware module. That's it nothing more.
3. Policy enforcement - define and enforce policy - I created a password policy and enforced
4. Add systems to the AAD just like you would do with in-house AD. All controls on user possible
5. Integrate and deploy systems and apps from the central console.
This much I have found out and am IMPRESSED!!!!!
Note: Works best with WIn 10 primarily. Older versions of Windows don't work
Please talk to Microsoft and first initiate the Business premium trial then go to the AAD portal and raise a support request for AAD and Intune configuration.
Regular MS Office support will not help you with this - it is out of their scope.
You get a 30-day trial which can be extended for another 30 days !!!
There is an MS Defender component but no too sure how it works.
Hi Seungbin Cho,
Microsoft Intune is a perfect solution for managing all Windows 10 / Android devices it is just same as Microsoft System Center, minimum feature for iOS, I have deployed recently 12000 devices Windows 10 and iOS. overall complete mobile device management.

With EMS feature, especially microsoft Intune, we can enhanced security, device and user can be elimited only the specific criteria can access the data or the apps.
@BjarneMattila I know you are very familiar with Sophos, and always try to compare Intune with Sophos, and want to show that Sophos is more than anything from Microsoft Solution, here https://www.microsoft.com/security/blog/2019/12/03/microsoft-security-leader-5-gartner-magic-quadrants/ is a claim from Microsoft that Microsoft is getting 5 leader positions in Gartner, where there is no Sophos name there(only one in EPP)? how do you answer that?
Hi,
Microsoft Intune at par with any industry MDM solution. You will be able to manage Windows 10, iOS and Android devices, application management.
Deployment is very simple and so far I have not seen any major issues.
@Kishan Kendre In Sophos you will have disk encryption, AV, Intercept-X (best anti ransomware on the market), EDR, Enhanced EDR, Synchronized Security via Security HeartBeat and ZTNA (Zero Trust Network Access) for both Endpoints and Smart Phones, supports O365 and have integration into Microsoft Intune, Apple DEB, Android/Samsung KME (Knox Mobile Enrollment) and Google Zero Touch for smart mobile enrollment - and additionally Sophos is both logical and easy to setup, maintain, support and costs much less than Intune (including Azure etc.).
