Microsoft Intune Reviews

My Microsoft Intune use case does not involve custom packaging or PKI. I have deployed Microsoft Intune cloud for all of our endpoints, which includes laptops as well as our corporate-issued cell phones.

It's great for device management. Using hte Micorosoft Defender suite using some Intune features allows us to deploy those security tools a lot quicker than we would otherwise. Without Intune, you'd be running from machine to machine, or you could be issuing individual policies. You may have to create a task sequence in SCCM. All those things delay where our clients wanna get to, which is a safer, happier future, and Intune allows them to get there a little bit quicker.

Time to live - how fast can we move a client from a higher-risk state to a lower one, and how can InTune facilitate that. It's a great roadmap for deploying policies. 

We're able to deploy security policies through it, it's essential towards our hardening, not just internally as a company, but for our clients.

Our primary use case of Microsoft Intune was initially to provide a more cohesive update platform. Our organization was trying to move away from SCCM as far as updating our device platforms across Windows devices. We chose Intune because it had a simplified way to configure Windows Update, view reports, and manage devices for updates. We expanded its use for configurations, moving from a hybrid join scenario to CloudJoin, which offers advantages for hybrid work and on-premise settings.

Everything has worked better since we started using Intune. Our devices use Intune for their authentication SSO process, which is also something that Intune integrates with, so we get fewer SSO prompts for our devices. There's more consistency in the configuration. 

Our configuration profiles used to be all over the place. For example, there's a lot of legacy in Active Directory. Going through Intune has helped us enforce settings, which has improved device security and functionality. When you apply something through Intune, you know it works. You don't have to worry about a legacy setting from Active Directory that was uploaded by somebody seven years ago. With Intune, you can see that a device has a setting, and you can be confident that the device is configured how you want.

Currently, we use Intune for endpoint security and deployments. We're migrating from SCCM to Intune cloud-first technology. We use it to deploy applications, CSPs, and conditional access.

Previously, we used on-prem SCCM to deploy applications we built manually. After migrating to Intune, we automated and streamlined the process of deploying applications with Autopilot. I can do more with my day. I can manage more applications and ensure that they're updated without monitoring and manually starting that process all over again.

My director used to say that we need to have cattle, not pets. You need to care for and manage pets, but you only need to feed cattle and put them out to pasture. Once you deploy it, you just let them out to pasture, and they update themselves. It's streamlined and so easy.

Microsoft Intune policies, remote wipe, and using corporate and private profiles are valuable features, but MFA is the most valuable feature as it ensures that the end user is authentic. After authentication, logs can help us diagnose further. Previously, we didn't know who was using the devices, with every person having 3, 4, or 5 mobile devices registered to their email. We didn't know which device was live or not. With MFA, it is very helpful to identify which one is the last authenticated device. We can also restrict the number of devices using Microsoft Intune.

From an end-user perspective of Microsoft Intune, I haven't experienced any challenges since installation. However, some customers have reported experiencing slowness when using lower versions of the Android system. This observation has been reported to the distributor team, and they are working on it. Hopefully, this issue will be resolved in the next release.

As we have only been using it for six months, it might be too early to identify other areas for improvement. 

As an administrator and user of Microsoft Intune, we have implemented several key features. Currently, we are using it for Windows updates across the whole company, pushing updates through Microsoft Intune. We also use it for the mass deployment of new applications.

Additionally, for security and access, we implement conditional access controls through Microsoft Intune. We have completed corporate device configuration and starting new journey on bring your own device (BYOD) management.

We use enterprise application management features in Microsoft Intune, with most applications integrated without multi-factor authentication previously. We need to control the number of devices accessing our environment to prevent data breaches or PII issues.

The most useful features in Microsoft Intune are the policy enforcement and conditional access. These features make our operations easier from a company perspective. Each company has its own policies, which are often only written in documents. By using Microsoft Intune, we can enforce these policies throughout the organization, binding everyone together instead of just having documented policies.

I use the solution across my full enterprise. That means for me roughly 4,000 devices, with 2,000 being desktops, 2,000 being laptops, and then maybe another 2,000 mobile devices.

The most valuable feature I have found is the access control. It integrates with Endpoint Manager. The reason for that is that it has allowed me to customize my organization's policies.

The security posture is very good. It's very customizable. 

Overall, my user experience with Microsoft Intune has been great. It's offered a very smooth transition and I'm very positive on the product.

I am just starting with Microsoft Security Copilot. My experience with Copilot, and Microsoft Intune Copilot in general, has been incredibly positive as it's a skill multiplier for daily operations.

It's an absolutely critical application that I use every day. 

Intune helps with app discovery. It's a game changer as it provides so much overall visibility.

I have analytics available. It's a wonderful tool, and I love the amount of data it's able to extract. 

Intune is reducing our attack surface and improving our security posture.

Microsoft Intune is primarily used for mobile device management (MDM) and mobile application management (MAM) to secure and manage corporate devices, applications, and data.

Microsoft Intune has proven to be highly effective in managing Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android devices. From inventory control and application management to security and compliance, Intune streamlines IT operations, significantly reducing management time. This efficiency allows IT staff to focus more on providing care and support to end users.

Microsoft Intune has significantly enhanced our organization's IT operations by streamlining device management, strengthening security, and improving overall efficiency. Key improvements include:

•  Simplified Device Management: Centralized control over Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android devices, reducing manual configurations and deployment time.

•  Enhanced Security & Compliance: Automated enforcement of security policies, including encryption, access controls, and compliance monitoring, ensuring data protection and regulatory adherence.

•  Improved Application Management: Seamless deployment and management of business-critical applications, reducing downtime and improving user experience.

•  Efficient Remote Work Support: Secure access to corporate resources for remote and hybrid employees, enabling productivity while maintaining security.

•  Reduced IT Workload: Automation of routine tasks, such as software updates and policy enforcement, allowing IT staff to focus on higher-value initiatives and user support.

We are using Microsoft Intune for the management of desktops and laptops because we have a business where we don't have all users in the office. Many of them work from home from different countries. Management of the devices was almost impossible with the tools that we were using before, such as ServiceDesk. We are using Office 365, and we are Microsoft users in a Microsoft environment. After that, we decided to grow with Microsoft Intune. Initially, it was planned to better manage the devices and serve as a deployment tool.

Microsoft Intune has definitely affected IT productivity in our company. We shortened the time for issuing new PCs and changing PCs. It enforced our security and deployment of the Gold Build. We were waiting for that; it shortened that time significantly, and we got our security certifications regarding that very fast after we bought it. Junior technicians and help desk staff had much less time to spend on the deployment of the PCs.

We are using the endpoint privilege management feature and find it very useful and good.
