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.

Provides real-time application updates with exceptional support

Some of the better features with Automox include its nice GUI, which looks intuitive, and it doesn't have a huge learning curve. Automox's real-time visibility and control through its intuitive dashboard is important for our response to emerging threats because it tells us which applications need to be updated on a real-time basis.

Director - Sales & Operations - India at Intertec Systems

It is a complete and competitive solution with excellent OEM support

Matrix42 is a complete solution in terms of functionality. Still, you need to understand whether it's also capable of managing Kubernetes containers to that extent, and this is not very clear in the product fact sheet. It’s possible with Ivanti MobileIron, though, and Matrix42 seems to be one step behind in this aspect. Likewise, in terms of integration, there is still room for improvement in Matrix42 to integrate with more third-party tools compared to Ivanti, which has a larger number of integrations due to its size. MobileIron is an older product that has evolved over time, offering advantages in terms of readily available third-party APIs and integrations.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Microsoft Intune has been a time saver and reduces the time and effort IT admins have to invest."

"The ability to manage devices over the cloud is a big benefit, as devices now receive updates regardless of location."

"It is a very helpful solution."

"I have seen a return on investment with Microsoft Intune, as it has saved me resources; previously, I managed my infrastructure with a team of around six to seven members, but after transitioning to the Microsoft Intune hybrid model, I am able to manage it with just one resource, allowing me to cut costs significantly, around 50-60 lakhs."

"I appreciate how easy it is to deploy certificates to end users to get control over their device with Microsoft Intune; that's what Microsoft Intune is known for, and that's what we use them for."

"It allows our clients to have the confidence to centrally manage policies for security. It helps them in securing the organization from a technology aspect."

"The feature of remotely wiping devices in Microsoft Intune is what I prefer the most."

"Intune's most valuable feature is its centralized management capability."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"Coming from prior solutions that were a lot more effort, Automox's patch management abilities are transformational. When I took over patching at my company, they were using on-premise architecture to patch. As the workforce shifted from being in the office into their home offices, I was able to lift and shift with no effort other than deploying the new agent out into the environment."

"The flexibility in creating tools to make changes on remote machines is most valuable to me. The reporting feature is also fantastic because on any given day I can bring up a list of machines that don't have patches, for example. Or I can bring up a list of machines that are in my environment on a certain day. The solution helps me with not only my own role, and what I look for internally myself, but it also helps during audits. I can go in and look at the number of machines in there, and their owners and timelines. It certainly helps tell a story for anything that IT requires."

"They've been adding some new features lately, which I'm not nearly as familiar with, but the ability to just deploy patches and exempt certain machines from certain patches is helpful. For instance, for our servers, we may not want to roll out zero-day patches. We are able to exempt those and make sure that they don't get those policies. We've got certain servers that have to run a particular version of Java, and being able to exempt those servers from receiving Java updates is pretty fantastic."

"It's easy to deploy agents to endpoints."

"Its flexibility is most valuable."

"It's super easy to use and we haven't found anything easier."

"Previously, we would run a report, scan it, and compare it. We were spending 15 to 30 minutes a month on each machine on this stuff because you would find stuff that wasn't up to date, then you had to fix it. This solution takes that time down to minutes. Automox saves us easily many hours a month."

"The biggest improvement to our organization involves the reduction in its man hours... We've probably saved hundreds of hours."

More Automox pros

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the ability to assign a package to a user on a system If you have your software packages set up via SCCM. It automates the process, which is very convenient, especially since most of our people are remote. Additionally, the overall functionality is good."

"Matrix42 Enterprise Mobility Management offers on-premises deployment."

Cons

"Intune does not provide real-time visibility."

"The user interface should be more user-friendly, as it can sometimes be challenging to navigate. Microsoft often relocates features, making it difficult to consistently find what I need."

"There have been instances where enrolling devices should take 10 minutes but ends up taking an hour due to various issues."

"I heard some pain points. The main thing is the learning curve. It took time to implement. It was not the best product starting out of the gate."

"The tool's tunnel gateway is not very good, making it an area where improvements are required."

"There are challenges with Intune, specifically in reporting. Many third-party companies offer single-pane-of-glass reporting that shows you what your update environment looks like, how your patch is doing, application status, etc., but Intune's reporting is not intuitive."

"At this time, I do not have any areas for improvement. I have heard about some downtime, but I am not in the local IT team."

"I would like to see Intune improve its handling of hybrid domain joins."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"We would like to see additional detailed reporting for Service providers like us. We had to build our own reports via their APIs to meet our needs."

"The stability has come a long way from what it was like when it started and now it's really good."

"As concerns the patching concepts, there's a bit of a learning curve in terms of working out how Automox wants you to work within the console, not only splitting up everything into groups, but then having the various policies assigned."

"The biggest area they need to fix, without a doubt, is the ability to copy and sync profiles and worklets between all of the organizations you manage, and the ability to have top-level user access control across all of the companies that you manage."

"Asset management would be a great feature to add to Automox. We would run easier scripts or more out of the box scripts that would help us in audits. \"

"There should be better inventory capabilities. Right now, they only allow you to have insight into software out-of-the-box. It would be nice to also extend that into custom inventory that can be modified and managed by the practitioner."

"They need to improve the automation features."

"It should have integrated workstation access. So, there should be a remote desktop feature."

More Automox cons

"Matrix42 Enterprise Mobility Management could improve the user interface, it is not very intuitive."

"In terms of integration, there is still room for improvement in Matrix42."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Microsoft Intune is moderately priced. There is a monthly license required to use the solution and it is approximately eight dollars per month."

"The price for Intune is fair."

"I don't have any problem as far as cost is concerned. It is bundled with our license."

"The clients pay for a license and each can have a different type of license, such as an E3 or E5."

"The cost is somewhat on the higher side, particularly when considering certain price points, especially in markets like India."

"Consider the Microsoft Enterprise Mobility Suite rather than choosing specific sub-components, e.g. only Microsoft Intune."

"Existing E5 license holders for M365, Intune, and Azure, receive a free license."

"Intune's pricing is reasonable considering its benefits and the high costs it helps avoid."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"For all these software tools, it is usually a subscription model. There is a monthly charge that we need to pass along to our clients because we are doing all this for their benefit. It is only a couple of bucks a month per computer, and that is a low enough price point where our clients, without exception, have accepted it, and said, "This is great. We will pay that. It sounds like a worthwhile thing.""

"The cost is very reasonable compared to the competition."

"There are no additional costs in addition to the extended licensing fees with Automox. You get your support and your per endpoint license with what you purchased."

"We're doing it annually directly through Automox. It is per endpoint. It is $2 and some change per endpoint, but I believe the cost is right around $28,000. Everything is covered in this fee."

"The product is a great value."

"Its licensing for a year was nine grand. There was no additional fee."

"Automox just charges us a set amount per user, per month, for using the product. That is very important to us. Because it's a cloud-native solution, you're saving on the cost of hosting an on-premises solution on your servers."

"We are on the premium licensing, which is the one that has the API capability that we use."

More Automox pricing and cost advice

"I am not sure the price of this solution but I would imagine it is fairly expensive because of the complexity, you would not use it in a small company."

"Matrix42 is more affordable than Ivanti."
