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.

Useful for vulnerability scanning and data encryption
AWS Config's dashboard improved our company's security as it helps with the vulnerability scanning of resources. AWS Config integrates with the existing security infrastructure of our company, and it is an easy process that is not at all complicated. AWS Config is a security product. The tool protects its users' resources and data from unauthorized access, security breaches, and threats. The product helps with data encryption. You can have your data on AWS KMS, which helps with data encryption. For areas like SSL/TLS encryption, the tool offers data protection between AWS services and endpoints. As I need to learn the components of the product, I rate the overall tool a seven out of ten.

We use it for building cloud-native applications and APIs and it helps us effectively manage various aspects of our application It enables you to create applications that can start up more quickly than a standard Spring Boot application. It would be beneficial for the framework to become more…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"The most useful features in Microsoft Intune are the policy enforcement and conditional access. These features make our operations easier from a company perspective."
"The central administration con dashboard is very easy to use and provides very good oversight on all that needs to be monitored."
"Great for software update needs, operating system version updates, and security policy enforcement."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is that it is more of a one-stop shop, providing an easier experience."
"Without Microsoft Intune, it would be extremely challenging, if not impossible, for a large company to send out computers to users and have them set up and ready to use right out of the box in a remote location."
"The cloud base is perfect for me."
"I can reach devices or computers over the internet. I don't need to worry about the network connectivity between the offices. I can manage any device. That is the most important part."
"The initial setup is super easy, it takes like two minutes. Literally a one-click deployment."
"The tool protects its users' resources and data from unauthorized access, security breaches, and threats."
"The solution is scalable and provides over 100 rules."
"The scalability is a ten out of ten."
"AWS Config's dashboard improved our company's security as it helps with the vulnerability scanning of resources."
"Installing the instances and performing upgrades is smooth and clean."
"Spring Cloud integrates well."
"The solution's initial setup is straightforward. The deployment process took me around ten minutes to fifteen minutes."
"It offers excellent scalability."
 

Cons

"The synchronization could be improved."
"A major challenge is making all the products work within device management solutions like Intune. It would be beneficial if Microsoft removed support for older products much earlier in the process."
"Since the devices are configured over the Internet, whatever policy we apply from the compliance portal does not reflect immediately on the endpoint."
"Microsoft Intune lacks live location tracking capabilities. Improvements should be made in terms of MDM platforms for other devices."
"The solution needs to improve reporting. Sometimes, it shows double or triple entries of the same thing, which affects the count's accuracy. Also, some applications onboarded in Microsoft Intune do not get updated. When we look for solutions online, there is often no clear answer."
"The information we receive at the device level needs improvement."
"We faced issues with macOS support. The product should have better inventory and asset management."
"One drawback of Intune is that we cannot find devices based on a user's region or location."
"Improvements are needed as per customer requirements."
"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 is room for improvement in built-in tools, they are not up to the mark."
"Stability is one area in the solution that needs to improve."
"If there's a dashboard like the ones provided by Apigee or Kong, that will be useful."
"It would be beneficial for the framework to become more lightweight and efficient when transitioning to the cloud."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Previously the price was $4 per month per user. Now it's $2.25 per user per month."
"No one can compete with Microsoft when it comes to price, and the features it is offering."
"Microsoft Intune has a user-based subscription model. You can go for a monthly or a yearly payment."
"Every customer used to purchase licenses based on their needs."
"It's a bit expensive from a licensing perspective, especially as we look to have organizations with tenants across the globe."
"Its licensing model is not complex, but it is very expensive compared to other solutions. They can bring more models and reduce the pricing. They should allow customers to select the features they want and price it accordingly."
"The purchase of the product was handled by someone else."
"Licensing depends on how you are providing support to your enterprise, whether it's device-based or user-based."
"The solution charges us per hour. There's no license."
"It is a very expensive tool. AWS pricing for Config is not fixed and depends on your organization's size and complexity."
"Currently, we are not required to pay for licenses."
"It is an open-source or free version solution. It also has a paid version, but we have used the open-source version for now."
"Spring Cloud is an open-source solution."
