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.

Offers a clear visualization and overview of workflows and helpful in managing CI/CD processes

Improvement in the sense that they can do better in terms of management of logs and stuff like that because the console logs are very extensive, and that causes a lot of storage issues. That is one of the things which is there. Also, with respect to the traditional platform and the modern platform, many things have upgraded, and it has quite improved. But when we talk about the performance of the agents, it’s still very crucial because it’s not up to par. It takes a lot of time to provision the agent and to finish the build because of the SSH connection and the JNLP connection. Due to that, sometimes the agent doesn’t get provisioned. Those are some of the blockers that meet up the time in terms of administering the instance.

Efficient monitoring with detailed customization, yet complexity remains

The best feature of WhatsUp Gold is the automatic generation of topology and its integration with virtualization and wireless. I have used the automated device discovery with this topology feature. The interactive map feature helps me manage the topology because sometimes we cannot draw the topology correctly, so we need to manually edit the connections. The alerting system is very tunable and customizable, but it's a little complicated to use. Many customers cannot manage it by themselves and need support from us, the provider. We always use the dashboards in the SOC, where we constantly display a dashboard or multiple dashboards. This allows us to know immediately if the connection or bandwidth is full or if the connection is broken.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Intune helps the organization manage access to its internal apps, data, and resources."

"The best features in Microsoft Intune that I appreciate most are its centralized features."

"Based on my experience, I would recommend Microsoft Intune to organizations looking for management of a large number of devices and enterprise environments."

"Its protection policies are most valuable. It protects mobile devices as well as individual apps. It is pretty scalable, and its documentation is also pretty good. It is also pretty straightforward to deploy."

"Cloud-based device management is the best feature for me as it impacts my company the most; it is much easier than the previous Configuration Manager or SCCM."

"The ability to manage devices over the cloud is a big benefit, as devices now receive updates regardless of location."

"Microsoft Intune is unique in providing management for all operating systems, including macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS."

"The thing I appreciate most about Microsoft Intune is that the management of the devices was very simplified."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"The solution's most valuable feature is its flexibility."

"CloudBees assists by automating tasks, previously done manually, in the pipeline setup."

"The customer support is good. You get good representatives from CloudBees to help you and understand your requirements."

"Scalability largely depends on how the tool is set up within your infrastructure"

"CloudBees is a user-friendly tool."

"CloudBees operates seamlessly. Deploying to a cluster is straightforward—just one click, and the job is done."

"It can manage multiple Jenkins instances."

"One recent product feature that stands out is the pipeline explorer, which is providing significant value for us right now."

More CloudBees pros

"The most valuable feature is the auto-discovery function."

More WhatsUp Gold pros

Cons

"Reporting needs to be better. Sometimes, it is way too slow, and it is not even accurate."

"In terms of the admin experience, it is straightforward, but the Windows enrollment experience could be improved. Sometimes, for enrollment, we have to reset devices and re-enroll them."

"The most significant challenge is reporting and monitoring. The reporting accuracy for deploying applications and all aspects of Intune needs to be improved."

"It doesn't economize when you scale up. We have over 14,000 employees, and we have between 7,500 and 8,000 city-owned or personal devices being used to conduct city business. Its price can be improved. It is not a cheap solution."

"The solution requires Mac support."

"Reporting and troubleshooting for the application deployment could be better. It's very difficult to understand."

"The installation is very easy. However, to be able to configure it you will need special knowledge, such as training or self-studies to have a proper level of security. There are many settings one has to understand before being able to implement Microsoft Intune."

"There is still a gap between SCCM and Intune, especially in the reporting, inventory, and software deployment areas."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"There could be improvements in the ease of use."

"I think a preview of the errors would be good just at the point where the error occurs."

"Sometimes, there are performance issues, however, they may be due to our organization's configuration."

"One challenge I'd like to highlight is that with CloudBees CI growing bigger and bigger, there are limitations in terms of managing old plugins and services and upgrading them with time."

"We did face some challenges, particularly with the infrastructure."

"If you're logged in and working for about thirty minutes and then go idle for five to ten minutes, Jenkins will prompt you to re-authenticate."

"It could improve the document upload process."

"I noticed that CloudBees runs too slowly because some applications run more than 50 pipelines."

More CloudBees cons

"I would like to see them do an enhancement to the application monitoring. A lot of other products do better application monitoring so they should do some improvements to the application monitoring."

"The technical support does not bother to respond."

"Regional product team support is not very good."

"The point system is not clear and clarity around this would improve our understanding of the system."

"Improvements are needed in integration, especially for WhatsApp call and messages. Our region heavily uses WhatsApp Messenger for communication, and integration with this platform would be beneficial."

"I think there are a few bugs now. Although they give some resolution for this, we cannot share the network remotely because of our company policy."

"The tool should focus on increasing its market share, as it is the only area of concern where improvements are needed."

"Integrations with other devices. I want to have a product that has full integration with my active directory so I can track user activity. I want to track my complete user activity, so I'm looking for a product to implement in the near future, which will have full integration with my network and active directory users. It became very difficult to track user activity."

More WhatsUp Gold cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have a limited budget for security investments, so Microsoft should consider reducing pricing in our region. This would make investment more viable, especially since larger businesses in other countries can afford it easily."

"Its licensing model is not complex, but it is very expensive compared to other solutions. They can bring more models and reduce the pricing. They should allow customers to select the features they want and price it accordingly."

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

"The cost is somewhat on the higher side, particularly when considering certain price points, especially in markets like India."

"Microsoft Intune's costliness stems from licensing fees and the overhead associated with its management, user experience, and device remediation."

"I would rate the price a four out of ten with ten being the most expensive."

"Intune is available as an individual product, but it also comes with Office 365 Premium or an Enterprise license, and the price varies for each version."

"The price of Intune is often included as part of a bundle with other Microsoft licenses, which makes it somewhat cheaper."

"The tool's price is reasonable. WhatsUp Gold is cheaper than SolarWinds."

"The price of WhatsUp Gold is good."

"Pricing is reasonable compared to other products."

"The pricing can be on the expensive side when considering competing products."

"It is per device, per year. The pricing is very clear. If you have a service agreement, you get all of your major upgrades and minor upgrades. It was under $10,000 to go all-in with all of the different add-ons for it."

"This is a well priced solution."

"The choice of version depends on the number of points, or devices, that you want to monitor, and this makes the product expensive."
