Cloud-based and helpful for compliance and endpoint deployment
I would like them to stop making changes and not tell people they have already made the changes. I know that their AI pieces are at the infancy stage, but allowing users to do more tagging for information would be an interesting thing because Intune also directly integrates with Azure. Because a lot of the devices are hosted with that, you also get a lot of tagging of user data and other things like that. Tagging is still at more of an infancy set. You get a lot of false flags. There can also be a more simplified use case for app deployment. They leverage MSIs and WIN32. I am having a more washed-out EXE process. Rather than having to build the script sets yourself, having them autogenerated script based on you uploading in a default location would be nice.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Its user-friendliness is its most valuable aspect."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"The product is stable."
"The product is useful when the end user downloads malware files."
"It is very scalable. There are approximately 2,000 endpoints and up to 200 servers in our company."
"The most valuable aspects are its integration capabilities with other Microsoft products like Intune, Office 365, and Azure cloud applications."
"The tool is managed from the cloud, because of which the maintenance is very low."
"Microsoft's integration into the security stack works quite well."
"It works well if you have a Microsoft environment."
"The ability to manage devices with different sets of policies is most valuable."
"It is a helpful tool to manage BYOD policies."
"The standout features of Intune are its excellent mobile device management and highly effective application management capabilities."
"The ability to block and erase remote devices is valuable to us, especially when those devices are lost."
"The many policies available in Microsoft Intune for managing our devices are valuable."
"Intune's most valuable features are the device, compliance, and configuration policies."
"The initial setup is not complex."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more frequent updates, which is always better for security because of daily threats."
"The software is expensive."
"There could be a better notification system."
"The solution could be more stable and precise because, at times, the threats detected are not legitimate."
"Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence should integrate with different platforms."
"It's a bit complicated to manage because you have many dependencies of servers, many dependencies in queue, and so on. Entries or different endpoints, and you make different configuration topics for each one. So that's a major problem."
"The product's dashboard and incident reports functionality needs enhancement."
"The price point is something they can improve slightly for those who don't have an M 365 E5."
"The synchronization could be improved."
"Once it's configured it is unobtrusive, but it does take some hands-on to configure and deploy it properly."
"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."
"When Microsoft Intune is used with different android devices it does not always work as it is supposed to."
"There can be delays in the deployment of new policies."
"It's only good for a Microsoft environment."
"When somebody has a customized application or their own company's application, we cannot deploy that application."
"Intune has some limitations when it comes to application updates for third-party applications. You can schedule an update, but when it's a package setup, you need to supercede and replace it each time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing is reasonable and not very expensive."
"The solution is relatively expensive; however, our status as a gold partner provides us with several complimentary licenses, which offsets the cost."
"The product’s pricing is worth it."
"The product is a part of my Microsoft 365 subscription, so there is no additional cost. It is cost-effective."
"The pricing of the solution is good."
"There is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing charges attached to the product."
"The tool is expensive as a stand-alone solution. However, it is not cheap when you purchase it as a bundle."
"Microsoft's pricing structure involves annual fees."
"The purchase of the product was handled by someone else."
"It's monthly for us, but it's built into the license cost that we pay our IT each month. It's maybe 129 Kroner per head, which translates to £10. There are some additional costs. Our IT had to set up and configure their own server, so there is an extra cost for that, but I'm not sure what that costs."
"I have no comment on pricing of the solution."
"The price is very reasonable."
"There is a license needed for this solution and it is either included in one of the enterprise license agreements. Microsoft licensing is a mathematical institute, it could be quite complex. We tend to ask specialized organizations to research what the most profitable way it would be for us to use licenses in the organizations."
"Previously the price was $4 per month per user. Now it's $2.25 per user per month."
"It comes as a bundle, so you do not really know what the prices are. Microsoft does not break it down to the user cost for us. It is just bundled with our E5 license."
"The cost is somewhat on the higher side, particularly when considering certain price points, especially in markets like India."
