Featured Reviews

Vikram - PeerSpot reviewer
Really good in terms of content delivery and network bandwidth optimization
Using Adaptiva is really straightforward. Users need to have some end-user computing and networking knowledge to use the solution. The project or implementation team we worked with had good technical knowledge. I really liked the solution's performance. Adaptiva helped us with network bandwidth optimization and content delivery. Overall, I rate the solution eight and a half out of ten.
AkashKamble - PeerSpot reviewer
Enables management of multiple operating systems with a single license
The best feature is that it's a Microsoft product, so if anything goes wrong, we get quick support for anything required. Remote system functionality allows us to sit anywhere and take control of any device via remote management. We can enhance security for clients' laptops with built-in Microsoft Defender, which is available with the Microsoft Intune license. We use it for reporting purposes through endpoint analytics. When pushing scripting, there are two types available: remediation script and reservation script. Through endpoint analytics, you can push defender policies to clients. It helps with reporting, inventory updates, and monitoring tenant status health.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Adaptiva is really good in terms of content delivery and network bandwidth optimization."
"Compliance and the policies that can be set are the most valuable features."
"Users can make screenshots, and devices only need the minimal version of iOS."
"Microsoft Intune is easy to use, and it is able to enforce policies towards multiple devices. It is able to bring multiple classes of devices into the same security posture. I found that very useful."
"The technical support of Microsoft Intune is good."
"The ability to work from all over the planet is valuable. You just need a functioning and working Internet connection."
"The solution is stable."
"Stable product that's easy to set up compared to other MDM products."
"The automatic patching is the most valuable feature of Intune."
 

Cons

"It would be good if Adaptiva had everything on the cloud rather than having one server on-premises."
"I am not involved in the day-to-day with Intune, but we have gone with a different product for updating mobile device software. We do not integrate many of our mobile devices that are not Microsoft-based devices, such as Dell laptops, with Intune."
"The pricing can be expensive if you are not combining it with other products."
"It would be great if Intune offered better data protection controls for BYOD Windows PCs."
"The biggest problem we ever have is when something goes out of date after 30 days when nobody has logged into it. We do have a problem trying to get those back online. We've been working with Microsoft to resolve that problem, but that's been the only issue that we've had in the last few years."
"It needs incorporation of Knox, ZeroTouch, etc."
"The reporting is subpar. That's the only issue we have with Intune. We use another solution for that purpose."
"Some customers have reported experiencing slowness when using lower versions of the Android system."
"There were several bugs with stability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"While Microsoft charges for actual usage, it lacks discount options."
"Cost is not my department, but the product is included in the E5 license that we already pay for every user, so no additional cost is incurred."
"Pricing depends on the features. Microsoft offers special packages if there are more than 10,000 users, and you may be able to get a reduced rate."
"We spend a lot of money on Intune licensing, and some of our users have to be double licensed just because of how our dev and corporate environments are segmented."
"For Microsoft 365 E5 clients, cost is not an issue as this product is one of the benefits."
"It is reasonable for the features it has."
"It's affordable. In comparison to the competitors, the price depends on what features you need from Intune, but it's affordable. There are no hidden costs, but there are some features that go for a premium price. Those are the add-ons for which you have to pay extra."
"Microsoft Intune has been incorporated into our Microsoft E5 licenses."
