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.

Has simplified hardware issue identification but needs integrated communication options

We have monitoring capabilities and we are monitoring some network tools from Cisco Meraki Systems Manager (MDM+EMM) and troubleshooting as well. I am currently working with version MR 32.1.4. Policy involves connecting mostly through emails, as we don't have any special kind of policy features. If any alert comes, we connect via mail. We don't utilize the geolocation tracking feature. The unified dashboard helps me simplify device management for my team based on the location, as we have configured devices from many different countries. We give the device's name based on the location, allowing us to identify easily in the dashboard. Regarding operational cost savings, it is cost-saving because in other companies, they use different tools for different networks, such as one for Windows, another for Linux, and a different one for VMware. We use all the systems including Windows, Linux, and networking under Cisco, Centreon, and Cisco Meraki Systems Manager (MDM+EMM), which is very cost-efficient. Regarding pricing and licensing of Cisco Meraki Systems Manager (MDM+EMM), I don't have information about that, as we are from the technical department. Details about subscription and quotation come from another department. I rate this solution 8 out of 10.

Easy to use and set up with easy mobile access to reports

The initial setup is quite straightforward and simple. It only takes one day to set up. At the time of SAP implementation, it's a part of the portfolio. It's a one-time activity that you have just implemented in your ERP boxes. After that, you have to install a mobile application on Android or iOS, and you can use your user ID and password credentials, and you can access your reports. Once it's installed, you only need one IT person to align things. It doesn't take a big team. They can generate and change reports as necessary. If you need to change certain things, you need an SAP developer. There is no admin team requirement, and you can access it from anywhere.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The biggest asset is the range of device management options available with Intune, whether it is a Windows device, a Linux device, a Mac device, or mobile devices."

"What I like the most about Microsoft Intune is its ability to manage mobile devices. Through integration with System Center, it can also manage desktops and laptops."

"The reporting and analytics features in Microsoft Intune have been a lifesaver."

"The solution’s most valuable feature is its ease of use."

"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."

"Intune is effective because of the configuration management and endpoint security it provides. The graphical interface makes it easier to configure and deploy devices."

"The synchronization of Intune with other Microsoft solutions is a valuable feature."

"Microsoft Intune policies, remote wipe, and using corporate and private profiles are valuable features, but MFA is the most valuable feature as it ensures that the end user is authentic."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"We use this solution for MDM."

"Meraki Systems Manager's most valuable features are password management, device tracking, remote resetting and wiping, device management, inventory management, and easy policy deployment."

"The analysis of traffic and configuration capabilities are the most valuable aspects for us."

"It's easy to use, easy to set up, and reliable."

"The most significant benefit is that the deployment is quick and painless. You don't need a specialized IT department to implement and scale the network. It's easy to maintain, too. It only requires one or two network administrators."

"The cloud dashboard's analytics data is particularly valuable, giving me insights into user activities and making it easy to track and manage devices."

"The stability of the solution is very good. It's reliable. We don't have crashes or experience freezing. There aren't bugs or glitches."

"The most valuable feature of Meraki tools is the centralized management aspect, providing a very easy and efficient way to find and solve issues."

More Cisco Meraki Systems Manager (MDM+EMM) pros

"Everything is available to you from your handset."

"If you need to access company reports on the go, you can pull them up on your phone, which allows for immediate access without the need to carry around your laptop everywhere."

Cons

"Most of the customers in the business do not use Intune because it doesn't support that much policy for Android."

"Its configuration is fairly complicated. You have to do quite a bit of discovery to be able to deploy it for a customer. You have to ask them a lot of questions. So, its initial deployment is the biggest challenge. They should make it easier to deploy with the use of Wizards or something else. During the deployment stage, there could be profiles for the customers who are particularly wanting to use certain feature sets of Intune."

"It's only good for a Microsoft environment."

"My assessment of the user experience of Microsoft Intune is that it is sometimes good and sometimes poor, depending on Microsoft's infrastructure."

"Intune does not provide real-time visibility."

"Microsoft needs to strategize its licensing structure. When using Microsoft Intune, we bought a small scale of controls, only controlling part of the devices, though Microsoft Intune can do much more. The Intune Suite offers more features, allowing extensive integration with either internal or cloud environments without requiring third-party licensing. However, each feature has a separate license, making logistics and cost management difficult if not strategically bundled together."

"Microsoft Intune is not user-friendly to manage and has room for improvement."

"I would like to see the ability to deploy custom packages as a Windows 64-bit package, as opposed to the Windows 32-bit, which is the only one available now."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"They could include bandwidth-based policies."

"Cisco's authorized scripting can be complicated. For example, we sometimes enter the wrong code using this script, and then we had to dictate to find the problem."

"Geofency polices are great, but it depends on how the device has the localization services configured."

"Because Cisco has improved a lot and is competing with other technologies that are innovative and brand new to the market, the only improvements they have to make are to keep up with the current competition and remain competitive with other solutions."

"The price of the solution could be reduced."

"Meraki is limiting our connections."

"There are problems with the connection on the client side, and the app that was deployed could be better."

"Security could be improved, and there could be more features that enable you to customize the end customer solution."

More Cisco Meraki Systems Manager (MDM+EMM) cons

"We would like it if SAP could integrate the transactional mode as well so that users can perform transactional jobs by mobile-only."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its price is fair. It's a normal price. It isn't too expensive or too cheap."

"The overall pricing of Microsoft Intune is good for companies that have big IT budgets, 3,000 or more users and devices."

"The tool is cheaper than our company's other MDM tools."

"Microsoft Intune is included in the E5 license at no additional cost."

"In terms of the product price and licensing costs, my company finds the product to be reasonably priced."

"Microsoft Intune has a user-based subscription model. You can go for a monthly or a yearly payment."

"Microsoft Intune is not cost-effective as a standalone product."

"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."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"The price is high for the market."

"The cost of installing this solution can be more expensive depending on who is doing the installation. Cisco is very expensive."

"The storage is affordable and the system has some price-related issues. Therefore, keeping the price in mind, I would rate it seven out of ten."

"It's extremely competitive and very good for a product in this sphere."

"This product is reasonably priced."

"My clients find it a bit expensive compared to other systems."

"Meraki MDM is the cheapest solution we have used."

"Cisco Meraki Systems Manager is an expensive solution."
