Featured Reviews

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.

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.
Vikram - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers reliability and efficiency to users
The real-time visibility offered by the product has impacted our company's IT operations, and I can say that it is a user-friendly or admin-friendly product. I recommend the product to others since it is a powerful solution. The product is reliable and efficient. The product vendors are helpful, and they try to engage with the customers and improve the product. In terms of the benefits offered by the product, it is a powerful tool where the vendor offers support to users. I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is more efficient to have one solution rather than having security parts spread across three, four, or five solutions."
"Fortunately, now everything is streamlined into a single, unified platform."
"The best features include the management, which is quite good, and endpoints."
"If I assess Intune's user experience, I would say it is perfect and simple."
"I like how Microsoft Intune lets me lock down the email profile and make it accessible only on certain devices."
"Intune has automated the deployment of patches and applications, which is more efficient and easier. It allows us to deploy applications, packages, Windows updates, and security updates like BitLocker encryption more efficiently and easily."
"We have a BYOD policy, and this solution helps us manage our devices."
"Everything has worked better since we started using Intune."
"Adaptiva is really good in terms of content delivery and network bandwidth optimization."
"The solution's technical support is very responsive."
 

Cons

"Intune could be improved by expanding its third-party patching capabilities for a more comprehensive solution."
"Intune needs to incorporate more tools to reduce the number of third-party applications we rely on."
"Intune could add more Linux security features and more integration with on-prem devices. The application deployments can also be improved."
"The reporting functionality of Microsoft Intune is limited compared to Microsoft System Center, which offers many more reporting options."
"Intune's areas for improvement revolve around security and certificate management."
"Technical support is not that great."
"I find the price for Microsoft Intune too high, which represents an area for improvement in Microsoft's pricing model."
"Intune lags all of its competitors in terms of report generation."
"It would be good if Adaptiva had everything on the cloud rather than having one server on-premises."
"There are some bugs in the product. The tool needs to improve in the area of reporting."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing needs improvement."
"Intune's pricing is reasonable considering its benefits and the high costs it helps avoid."
"If you ask the accountant or the finance department, they'll tell you that it is way too expensive, but when I look at the cost and compare it with the value you actually get, it's more than fair."
"It's a part of Microsoft 365 and E5 licenses. Microsoft's strategy of making every feature in Microsoft Intune paid needs optimization. Remote control is one of the basic features, not a luxury feature, yet we must pay for it. I"
"Microsoft Intune is a cost effective choice. It is less expensive than other products on the market."
"Our enterprise agreement includes Microsoft Intune at no additional cost."
"Licensing depends on how you are providing support to your enterprise, whether it's device-based or user-based."
"For Microsoft 365 E5 clients, cost is not an issue as this product is one of the benefits."
