Pros
"I like the Microsoft Authenticator app since it comes with two-factor authentication."

More Microsoft Entra Verified ID Pros →

"Conditional access helps me control uncontrolled access.""...Intune itself integrates with that entire Microsoft ecosystem. As an individual product itself, it's okay. It holds up. But when you start saying "I've bought this as part of a wider solution, as a company we are going Microsoft throughout," then it makes more sense to have Microsoft Intune... so you have that single dashboard.""I haven't used other mobile device management solutions, but compared to SCCM, we eliminate a lot of on-premises infrastructure and maintenance by using Intune.""The most valuable includes managing everything from a single console.""The ability to manage devices with different sets of policies is most valuable.""The many policies available in Microsoft Intune for managing our devices are valuable.""The biggest thing for us is enforcing logins only from devices that are managed by Intune.""It is a very helpful solution."

Cons
"I must do two-factor authentication when I sign in from a different location. It creates friction. It's not personalized for the end user. I would like to see specific insights."

More Microsoft Entra Verified ID Cons →

"The difficulty of the the roll out is surprisingly difficult considering this product is supposed to be an integrated part of the 365 suite.""The policies we had in SCCM and AD offered features that are missing from Microsoft Intune.""There can be more logs. I do not have any other requirements.""In the next release, I would like a feature to be able to properly lock down the device. For example, if an attacker or somebody steals the phone, you can be sure that the pin cannot be broken.""The feature that allows us to import the business application from the configuration manager to Intune is not very good at this time.""The add-ons must be integrated into the solution.""The reports that are generated aren't so great. They don't give a lot of meaning so far, but that could be down to user knowledge than the actual reporting side of things. I'm not a big user of it, but I was a bigger user of MaaS360, and we used to be able to run weekly and monthly reports. In the case of any deviations. we'd get a warning immediately. That's not so easy to do or to get in place for Intune. This could be just a user issue, but when I compare both, that's the only thing that's lacking for me.""Onboarding of endpoint devices is not straightforward. The onboarding process was a little heavier than I thought it would be. That's the key improvement area. Obviously, the more control you have over the devices, the better it is."

    Overview

    We believe the future of global identity will not be centralized in a single company or government, but rather a trust fabric of centralized and decentralized approaches. Open standards like those found in Entra Verified ID, will be required to ensure interoperability. We will leverage Microsoft’s existing penetration into F500 and governments to bootstrap and then extend from our 500M user footprint to 9B+. By leading the way, we can become the preferred provider that builds on Microsoft Entra ID's best-in-class security and compliance to now include best-in-class verifiability and privacy.

    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."
