We performed a comparison between AWS Config and Microsoft Intune based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Configuration Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution is scalable and provides over 100 rules."
"Installing the instances and performing upgrades is smooth and clean."
"The initial setup is super easy, it takes like two minutes. Literally a one-click deployment."
"Internet-based access with security is what I have found to be most valuable. It is also a stable and scalable solution."
"The aspects I find most valuable are the managing the data and applications. I can also restrict the users to install any applications. I can also wipe the data if the phone was missplaced or stolen. These are the basics for me."
"We are a remote company, and the product helps us manage the global endpoints. It helps us natively manage the endpoints in the cloud from anywhere."
"Intune provides full endpoint visibility and IT control across device platforms. You can individualize it for your company with the Intune Company Portal app."
"It's very informative when there is an error. It allows us to backtrace where the error is and resolve that ourselves. It's a bit of a Swiss Army penknife. We find that it fixes most issues."
"The initial setup is not complex."
"The solution is easy to use and it has good performance."
"The most valuable features in Microsoft Intune for me are application deployment, Defender deployment, and asset management."
"There is room for improvement in built-in tools, they are not up to the mark."
"The reboot process for AWS instances could be improved. Microsoft Azure does not have this problem, so AWS could consider making their instances more robust. You would not need to reboot your instances frequently to replace the hardware and stuff. They can look for a better approach or mechanism to improve in the future. The concern is that you need to plan for the outage when you reboot an instance. You need to have a maintenance window where you can properly reboot the instance without affecting your application. When Amazon announces that you need to reboot an instance and are not ready, this becomes a problem."
"The solution is missing a configuration that can assist us when writing our programming languages."
"There can be more logs. I do not have any other requirements."
"An area for improvement is the absence of seamless integration, particularly with external dashboards."
"There is room for improvement in integrating additional features such as Purview and SharePoint activities into Intune."
"There is improvement needed in integrating with the installed Office solutions versions, such as Office 2019. The Office 365 integrates without a problem."
"The solution can have some compliance problems in general and the end-point user can bypass easily the company policies in Intune."
"I think that there is room for improvement with the reporting. If this is done, it will be a better product."
"What would make this product better is adding more security policies and features in the next upgrade."
"Microsoft Intune could improve by being more user-friendly and having it geared toward device management. The graphic interface is not very good."
