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.

A central portal where you can add, stack, configure, and maintain your devices

Nearly 35,000 users are connected to Systems from America because their network is configured to cover worldwide areas. I have approximately 450 devices connected, which can scale based on requirements. For instance, if you have around five hundred to six hundred users in one office, the MR14 and MR24 series are suitable. For environments with a larger number of standard device users, the MR24 series is recommended. Cisco Meraki provides various series to meet your requirements, allowing you to manage your users efficiently. I rate the solution's scalability a nine out of ten.

An MDM solution for controlling and restricting data on devices

Everyone is using high-end devices, such as mobile devices. If they lose their devices, how about the data copied to other devices? Once the device is lost, you can remotely delete all of the data and block the device, preventing anyone from using or reusing it. This will keep your devices secure.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I rate Intune 10 out of 10."

"Conditional access helps me control uncontrolled access."

"The ability to manage devices with different sets of policies is most valuable."

"I mainly use Microsoft Intune analytics for taking that data that exists and bringing it into Power BI dashboards to make it visible to our clients, showing them all the operating systems in their environment and where the latest patches are, and then from there creating plans."

"Autopilot is the most valuable feature."

"If I assess Intune's user experience, I would say it is perfect and simple."

"Fortunately, now everything is streamlined into a single, unified platform."

"The conditional access policies that we set up are very useful."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"I have found the location analytics feature that is built into the APs to be the most valuable. It allows you to compare data and to single out individuals who are repeatedly coming into your store. We can observe different trends. This is what separates it from a lot of the other solutions."

"The solution is easy to use and support."

"We can reconfigure a client’s setup remotely with minimal effort."

"It's a very easy solution for the most part, it's very easy to implement and very easy to administer."

"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 solution is straightforward to set up."

"We use this solution for MDM."

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

More Cisco Meraki Systems Manager (MDM+EMM) pros

"Scalefusion is easy to use, and they have a broad knowledge base, so you can quickly find answers if you're unsure how to do something. The articles on the knowledge base are well-written, with clear steps on what to do for a specific scenario. That part is well documented."

"Its enhanced support for iOS and Windows devices has been particularly beneficial, expanding our service offerings to customers with diverse device environments."

Cons

"Historically, Group Policy has simplified the management of various items, such as printer and drive mappings and while Intune offers workarounds, it lacks native support for these functionalities."

"No option to do end-to-en macOS management. Slow implementation of policies."

"There were several bugs with stability."

"There could be some kind of feature that supports a workgroup environment or a separate environment without the Entra ID."

"Microsoft Intune fails a lot when it comes to device compliance."

"I think there should be a better tracking of the cell phones used on the Intune."

"We do not utilize Microsoft customer service and technical support since it is generally a waste of time."

"The security features should be improved."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"One area for improvement in Cisco Meraki Systems Manager is the ability for more advanced users to make detailed and non-standard changes."

"The cost of installing this solution can be more expensive depending on who is doing the installation. Cisco is very expensive, and I'd like to see a reduction in cost."

"There is room for improvement in terms of pricing."

"They need to allocate more energy in terms of their offering to devices that are not Apple devices."

"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."

"Integration with other tools, such as, ConnectWise Automate."

"The solution's integration with other products could be improved."

"The price of the solution could be reduced."

More Cisco Meraki Systems Manager (MDM+EMM) cons

"It could be easier to put devices on the blocklist. I would like the ability to block a device with a click of a button. Currently, we have to sift through different groups to block a device. It would be nice if Scalefusion allowed me to block without moving the device to a different profile. Another helpful feature they could add is the ability to migrate from one MDM to another. I'd also appreciate more extensive cloud storage. They give you 1 GB by default, but sometimes that's not enough."

"One area for improvement could be streamlining permissions during initial device setup, especially for corporate-owned devices, to reduce manual user interaction and expedite deployment."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"It's reasonable. They're not giving it away, but it's reasonable."

"The clients pay for a license and each can have a different type of license, such as an E3 or E5."

"Microsoft Intune is pretty reasonable. We have difficulty with Azure, which is probably why we have not put many assets in Azure. Everything we put there is very expensive."

"I rate Intune an eight out of ten for affordability. It's bundled with the 365 licensing, which is competitive overall."

"Intune comes with the licensing that is common for large organizations. However, Microsoft has recently released many add-ons that are very expensive, especially for large organizations or corporations."

"Licensing depends on how you are providing support to your enterprise, whether it's device-based or user-based."

"The pricing for Intune and the competitor products are all within the same range, there is no true advantage when it comes to cost."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

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

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

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

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

"The price is high for the market."

"My customers at times have issues with the price of the solution. It is expensive, but overall it is worth it. The licensing model cost is based on how many devices you require."

"Cisco Meraki Systems Manager is an expensive solution."

"This product is reasonably priced."
