We performed a comparison between Azure Firewall and Microsoft Intune based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Microsoft Security Suite solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution is stable."
"The firewall policy control, URL content control, and antivirus are all the most valuable aspects. Threat prevention is as well quite good."
"It is easy for me to protect certain ports or even the IP addresses, as well as do whitelisting, blacklisting, and the FQDN when we want virtual machines connected and to protect certain websites."
"We secure the entry point to the virtual data center with the firewall."
"I can easily configure it."
"All its features are good. That's why we recommend it."
"One of the notable advantages of Azure Firewall is its user-friendly interface, which closely resembles or shares similarities with other Azure components."
"Microsoft's technical support is very good. They're quite knowledgable and responsive."
"Technical support, in general, has been quite helpful."
"The stability of Microsoft Intune is good."
"The initial setup is not overly complex or difficult."
"If the product works, remote access will be a benefit. To this point we have not had reason to have confidence in achieving that access."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable includes managing everything from a single console."
"The most valuable feature of Intune is the central dashboard for compliance and policy management."
"The solution is easy to use."
"For large organizations, a third-party firewall would be an added advantage, because it would have more advanced features, things that are not in Azure Firewall."
"This solution is not mature when it comes to handling perimeter traffic like internet browsing."
"It needs a lot of improvement, especially on intruder detection. They are working hard on that."
"It's a little heavy compared to a FortiGate or other firewalls."
"We find it's different implementing it region-to-region. It might help if it was universal across all regions."
"It has fewer features than you can get from other firewalls, like anti-spam and anti-phishing. Those kinds of things are not included. It only includes IDS and IDB."
"Azure should be able to work better as a balancer also, instead of just being a firewall. It should have a wider mandate."
"You have to have a defined IP range within your network to associate it with your network. The problem is you have to plan ahead of time if you expect to use the firewall in the future so that you don't have to reconfigure your subnets or that specific IP range. Other than that, I don't any issues. I use it for basic configuration for a single application, so I really don't try to leverage it for multiple applications where I might find some complexity or challenges."
"In the past, I raised some tickets for the enhancement feature, which was missing in Intune."
"The installation could be improved to be simplified."
"Integrating certain group policies can be challenging and may necessitate using on-premises systems to integrate them with Microsoft Intune."
"Microsoft Intune has a latency response time issue. The latency has room for improvement."
"There should be more focus on mobile device security and integration."
"A new Intune feature allows application packaging, but it incurs additional licensing costs for a significant number of applications."
"It would be better if they can reduce the cost of the license."
"The reports aren't complete, and it's not easy to build custom reports. For example, Windows Autopilot isn't working well in cases where the computers don't have a good internet connection. Then the option is not good enough."
