Pros

More Azure Firewall Manager Pros →

"This product offers an alternative solution to other UEM (Unified Endpoint Management) solutions.""Conditional access has helped us tailor and enforce our security policies in the mobile space.""A great solution for anyone wanting a modern endpoint device management solution.""The dashboards, the security, and the customization capabilities work very well for us.""Autopilot is the most valuable feature.""Remote Wipe and Autopilot is one of the best features.""We have one MDM that works with Windows, iOS, and Android.""The Autopilot feature is fantastic. It is a Microsoft product, so it deals best with Microsoft operating systems, but it can integrate with iOS, Mac OS, Linux, and Android."

Cons
"The solution can improve the integration with open-source tools.""The price is okay. This said, the solution is certainly expensive in comparison with other cloud services.""There should be a simple one-click deployment for a firewall, rather than a set of setup instructions that include steps such as the DNS configuration, et cetera.""We could do only one-way NAT-ing, where the traffic comes from outside to internal, to Azure, which is fine. However, when we actually do NAT-ed traffic to hit the firewall, that way is not working.""The tool's security features need to improve. It needs also to include a monitoring system for logs. It is also complicated to find a query on the Azure firewall."

More Azure Firewall Manager Cons →

"Microsoft Intune is not user-friendly to manage and has room for improvement.""There can be more logs. I do not have any other requirements.""The UI also needs improvements because it is complex for end-users. We have had feedback from a few users in our organization who found the UI is not feasible for tracking and analyzing all the processes and monitoring all the devices.""Integration with Mac devices requires some improvement.""They need to integrate more with security options.""The security features should be improved.""It would help if administrators could pinpoint the exact location of a stolen device to help law enforcement retrieve it and apprehend the suspect.""The scalability could be improved, and like most other MDM products, Intune is good but not 100% there yet."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Microsoft Intune stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Two major ones are its ability to secure all devices under its management and the flexibility that the solution offers its users.

    A computing services manager notes, "Its security is most valuable. It gives us a way to secure devices, not only those that are steady. We do have a few tablets and other devices, and it is a way for us to secure these devices and manage them. We know they're out there and what's their status. We can manage their life cycle and verify that they're updated properly."

    The head of IT engineering at a financial services company writes, "The one feature we find most useful is the Mobile Application Manager. There are two types: we have the complete MDM and the Mobile Application Manager (MAM). We don't give our users phones, it is their own personal phone, and we need to allow them to have access to the company details on their phone. We need to create a balance between their own personal data and the company data. We deploy the Mobile Application Manager for them so that we won't be able to interfere with their own personal data."
