It takes me up to an hour and a half.""The integration capabilities, ability to integrate CyberArk into the overall IBB strategy of our current clients.""The solution helps with auditing, and monitoring, and integrates with Splunk for log analysis. User activity logs are captured in CyberArk Identity and sent to external tools like Splunk for analysis and monitoring."

"For Windows services, there are multiple options within Intune to modernize it to be more internet-facing and dynamic.""Intune's most valuable features are the device, compliance, and configuration policies.""We can securely manage both company-owned devices and personal devices enrolled in our BYOD program.""The policy and compliance monitoring of devices and the software deployment are most valuable.""Intune enables us to manage our devices from anywhere.""The stability is good.""Its direct integration with all the other products that we have from Microsoft is valuable. We're using the E5 license, and we have a whole wealth of different products available. It just makes it easier to have everything from one provider.""I like the fact that it's integrated with the rest of the Microsoft products, so customers can manage it from their Office 365 portal or Azure portal."

Cons
"CyberArk Identity's GUI is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement.""The solution could be easier to use and I found it to be very complex involving many steps.""They can include the Mobile Device Management (MDM) feature.""CyberArk Identity could improve by having the ability to better manage the network, such as Cisco. There seem to be some issues in this area.""There is room for improvement in documentation. The documentation could be more specific about the changes needed to achieve specific goals.""In terms of a governance platform, it's worth noting that CyberArk doesn't offer a particularly strong one.""In terms of general user feedback, the more security you put in front of a user, the more they complain. So usability and the user experience are always a challenge. So there's always room for improvement.""I'm not sure what needs improvement. It is a good platform."

More CyberArk Identity Cons →

"We haven't really gone through all the features of Intune. We are just discovering them. Every day, we see a new feature that we want to apply, but what will be great for Intune is to be able to deploy apps in a simple fashion. We should be able to easily install various apps on the Windows platform, iOS, and Android. Currently, we have to write some scripts. It's not as straightforward as we would like it to be. It should be simplified so that we can do it just with three clicks—next, next, finish—without needing to write a script.""I would like to see micro VPN. I like the way that some of the other providers have done something similar where, as you open that app on an end-point device, it creates a micro VPN straight into your device, which is quite a nice little feature. Also, Microsoft Intune relies heavily on its fellow products in the suite. It would be nice if Microsoft Intune could stand on its own two feet.""In the past, I raised some tickets for the enhancement feature, which was missing in Intune.""There's quite a lot of development that they can do within their Intune dashboard. I think there are too many lines hyperlinked to move you around. Others, in contrast, give you a simple dashboard and an intuitive administrative walkthrough.""I'd suggest adding more features for macOS in Intune. There should be more functionality for managing macOS. There should be a better capability for pushing things down on macOS. Currently, Intune is not capable of managing macOS at the same level as Windows.""Regarding mobile devices, Intune is good, but there are other services that I would say are ahead of Intune from an administration and reporting point of view.""There is room for improvement, particularly in terms of compatibility, extending beyond the well-known major brands.""The difficulty of the the roll out is surprisingly difficult considering this product is supposed to be an integrated part of the 365 suite."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Microsoft Intune stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Two major ones are its ability to secure all devices under its management and the flexibility that the solution offers its users.

    A computing services manager notes, "Its security is most valuable. It gives us a way to secure devices, not only those that are steady. We do have a few tablets and other devices, and it is a way for us to secure these devices and manage them. We know they're out there and what's their status. We can manage their life cycle and verify that they're updated properly."

    The head of IT engineering at a financial services company writes, "The one feature we find most useful is the Mobile Application Manager. There are two types: we have the complete MDM and the Mobile Application Manager (MAM). We don't give our users phones, it is their own personal phone, and we need to allow them to have access to the company details on their phone. We need to create a balance between their own personal data and the company data. We deploy the Mobile Application Manager for them so that we won't be able to interfere with their own personal data."
