Centralized device management has automated onboarding and improves remote security compliance
One thing I feel Microsoft Intune could improve is troubleshooting visibility. In many cases, when a policy or application deployment fails, the error messages are a bit generic. So, admins still spend time checking logs manually or testing on devices one by one. Compared to the simplicity of deployment, troubleshooting sometimes feels less mature. I also think reporting and real-time monitoring could be stronger. The dashboard gives useful information, but in large environments, many teams still depend on additional tools or scripts for deeper reporting and analytics. If I had to focus on one area first, I would probably choose troubleshooting and reporting. Deployment through Microsoft Intune is generally straightforward, but when something fails, identifying the exact root cause can still take more time than expected. Error messages are sometimes too generic, and admins often have to dig through logs, sync status, or multiple portals to understand what actually happened. I think user experience and policy management could also improve further. Microsoft Intune has become much better over the years, but sometimes the admin portal still feels fragmented because certain configurations open in different sections or redirect to older interfaces. For new admins, especially, it can take time to understand where everything is located. Another thing is policy conflict handling. In larger organizations, multiple device policies, compliance rules, and configuration profiles can overlap. When conflicts happen, the visibility is not always very clear, so admins spend time figuring out which policy actually won or caused the issue.

Achieve cost-effective and efficient operations with automated compliance and patch management
Regarding the patch management feature, I find it perfect in BMC TrueSight Server Automation; however, the only problem is with application software, as operating system patch management is perfect. What I am trying to have is application software running on the server segment. Sometimes they use browsers, PDF readers, and Java, so patching these application or utility software is a challenge due to the large number and the different versions. I have some concerns regarding BMC TrueSight Server Automation that could be improved, particularly in the reporting part. The pending patches report generated after the analysis only reflects the job executed, but in a distributed environment where multiple teams manage servers, central governance requires server status updates driven by servers rather than jobs.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is helpful for managing devices anytime and any place without requiring dependency on the local networks."
"Conditional access has helped us tailor and enforce our security policies in the mobile space."
"Given all of the factors and things to consider, including features and cost, I would say that Intune has a slight edge over competing products."
"The ability to wipe data from and reset devices is one of the most important and valuable features. If a device is reported stolen, we can freeze it or wipe the data from it, preventing data leakage."
"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."
"Microsoft Intune reduces the time of our engineers, cuts down costs for the deployment of our endpoints managed by Microsoft Intune, and helps to improve compliance and the security policies we wanted to apply on endpoints, which was not happening earlier."
"Compliance and the policies that can be set are the most valuable features."
"Most people prefer to use Intune if they want to implement conditional access policies to restrict customer Exchange Online or Exchange user formats emails until their devices comply."
"The product's valuable feature is its ability to conduct patching for multiple servers simultaneously."
"Compliance is also huge... By tying it to Atrium Orchestrator, our workflow tool, we'll be able to have a closed loop where we identify a compliance issue, cut CRs, get them approved, and then be able to execute these CRs and more seamlessly fix these issues on the fly."
"BladeLogic lets users view the filesystem with minimal authorization to the server."
"Scalability is good."
"With BMC, we even configured applications, like IE or things that were Java-related, and when we scheduled the jobs, it worked fine, saved us time, and there was no need for resources to monitor them."
"If you do not want the hassle of multiple tools and handling multiple vendors, this is your go to solution."
"You can easily get the patching link. Patches can be deployed easily with a single click, making deployment straightforward. This eliminates the need for constant monitoring. You can deploy the necessary patches with one click, ensuring everything is signed correctly, and all issues are resolved."
"The best feature of the solution is patch automation."
"The solution's initial setup is straightforward. The deployment process took me around ten minutes to fifteen minutes."
"Spring Cloud integrates well, and as it's code-based, you can do more customization, so with the way you configure or code, you can have your custom implementations, making it the best integration option if you have Java Spring Web Services."
"It offers excellent scalability."
"Spring Cloud integrates well."
 

Cons

"I want more secure, reliable, and efficient security policies."
"If you could replace SCCM completely with Intune, that would be fantastic so that you don't have to run SCCM with Intune as an extension."
"Intune's areas for improvement revolve around security and certificate management."
"Customer service used to be better, but as we are nearing the end of the contract, the focus on investing in us as a customer has diminished. It is what one would expect in such a situation."
"The main differences between Intune and other products are, like I mentioned, in terms of the Mac. If the customers are majorly moving and adopting Mac laptops while they are using the Intune, they are leaving for other platforms, like Workspace ONE and vMOX."
"When Microsoft Intune is used with different android devices it does not always work as it is supposed to."
"We faced issues with macOS support. The product should have better inventory and asset management."
"It would be beneficial to have a more straightforward understanding of Intune's capabilities, presented in a simplified manner."
"Needs more use cases into compliance management and the remediation process."
"The initial setup was very complex; Not straightforward at all."
"I would like to see more container integration in the next release of this solution."
"The architecture is big, so the initial setup is not a straightforward task."
"Jobs were supposed to run automatically and, if there was a failure, it was supposed to fix it. But that was not happening."
"I would like to see a better methodology for handling REST calls and integration into the APIs. They add new APIs as they add functions, but they've missed some from older components which they still haven't added in. Some of the APIs are there but the CLI calls are not there."
"We've had to increase RAM and CPU processing in order to alleviate some of the sluggishness during patching."
"Without any knowledge of the product, we used the KB articles to start working. As a result, we definitely did not have full knowledge of BMC BladeLogic... They need to provide a minimum of knowledge with training on YouTube or somewhere else."
"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."
"Stability is one area in the solution that needs to improve."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Intune's pricing is reasonable considering its benefits and the high costs it helps avoid."
"The cost is handled through our Office 365 license, so I have yet to be able to compare it directly with other tools in its class."
"I don't have any problem as far as cost is concerned. It is bundled with our license."
"Pricing can be improved."
"I am satisfied with the pricing."
"They have categorized the licenses according to the size of the business. So, if it's a smaller organization, we can choose the license accordingly. If it's a big organization, then we can choose accordingly. Everything is clearly mentioned, and we can decide. It's suitable for all kinds of infrastructure, and that's very goo"
"With our standard E5 agreement with Microsoft, there have been no pricing concerns. Introductory professional services, like a fast-track service, were included with our E5 membership, and there have been no additional costs."
"Microsoft Intune has been incorporated into our Microsoft E5 licenses."
"The product's pricing depends on the number of servers."
"The solution is quite expensive compared to other vendors."
"The product is expensive."
"We're looking at less than $100,000 USD for this solution."
"Licensing is a bit pricey. Be mindful about the components that you need and buy as appropriate."
"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."
"Currently, we are not required to pay for licenses."
