| Cloud Solution Specialist & End User Architect at a computer software company with 51-200 employees | 4.0 | I use Windows Autopilot for enrolling devices into Intune because of its effective automation features. While there have been improvements, service outages with Azure and Intune are a concern. I compared it with Jamf but preferred Intune. |
| Project Manager at Freedom Systems Inc. | 4.0 | I use Windows Autopilot to configure devices for employees and clients, enjoying its automation features for ensuring compliance with company policies. However, the user interface could be improved, as there are more user-friendly options available. |
| Director de Microsoft y Transformación Digital at Compucad | 5.0 | Windows Autopilot streamlines device setup by automating configurations, reducing manual input errors and time investment. It excels with large deployments, cutting setup time significantly compared to traditional methods, though it requires some initial training and infrastructure investment. |
| IT and Partnership Manager at a government with 11-50 employees | 3.5 | I use Windows Autopilot to streamline enrolling new devices into my network, appreciating its automatic enrollment and seamless configuration. However, the free version needs enhancements, such as an executable wizard and easier device name changes for office meetings. |
| L3 Technical Support Engineer at SV Gaming Limited | 4.0 | We use Windows Autopilot to automate device domain joining and application deployment, saving time and resources. The serial number process needs improvement, but overall, Autopilot offers a profitable solution compared to previous options like ManageEngine and Jump. |
| Ivanti Endpoint Administrator Contractor for Southwire at a manufacturing company with 5,001-10,000 employees | 4.5 | I find Windows Autopilot to be a great tool primarily for its imaging feature, which significantly reduces processing time. However, improvements are needed in its scripting, especially for re-registering devices in the Azure domain. It offers substantial time savings, enhancing ROI. |
