Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Integration with a third party credential storage, web login, and VPN are the most usable and useful functions at the moment.""Being able to store my credentials makes connecting a breeze.""It really helps to have all the data already pre-entered and all I have to do is enter the password.""The interface is great to work with as it allows multiple connections in a tabbed interface. It also has the option to automatically start a VPN or an SSH tunnel, if required.""Documentation per entry, good for device configs or important/special instructions.""One credential can be used to access VPN, RDS, and more.""Being able to aggregate all connections (RDP, FTP, SSH, VPN, etc.) in the same interface and make each server readily available in the same way, which lets me focus on the problem regardless of where it is.""Devolutions's team is constantly making improvements to their products. If you submit a feature request, they are usually quick to implement it."

"One of the standout features of Intune is its seamless accessibility to work data, eliminating the need to be tied to an office or a desktop.""At the moment, Autopilot is the most valuable feature.""It has a useful device management feature.""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.""I like that we can implement conditional access.""It is helpful for managing devices anytime and any place without requiring dependency on the local networks.""The dashboards, the security, and the customization capabilities work very well for us.""Intune enables us to manage our devices from anywhere."

Cons
"The only complaint I have heard is there are too many updates. Each time there is an update (the app prompts to upgrade), it can be time consuming, especially when sometimes there are multiple updates per week.""On complex setups, I actually needed to reach out to support to get it working correctly.""Maybe some clipboard functions could be added along with integration of different software.""Sometimes the manual inventory of some entries hangs, and RDM must be closed via task manager.""There are always bugs to squash, beyond that, it is really kind of difficult for new users to discover and use many of the features due to the bewildering array of choices and ways to do things.""The filing system of connections is a little clunky, but is completely functional.""Sometimes when updating, the install window is on top of the prompt to close the application.""Security roles could be improved, especially by enabling renaming of a role."

More Devolutions Remote Desktop Manager Cons →

"There is still a gap between SCCM and Intune, especially in the reporting, inventory, and software deployment areas.""While Intune works perfectly well, the only potential downside is that the deployment could be a bit complex for some users.""The solution could be improved by the opportunity to connect third-party application databases, such as Chocolatey or another setup store, to Intune.""Intune's third-party patch management could be better. It should be easier for the average system admin to keep non-Microsoft applications updated.""There is room for improvement, particularly in terms of compatibility, extending beyond the well-known major brands.""There are a few security features that are not available in Microsoft Intune, when compared to other products.""Deploying an app can be a complex process due to dependencies.""Microsoft Intune lags market leaders, such as Apperian, in its MAM capabilities."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Microsoft Intune stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Two major ones are its ability to secure all devices under its management and the flexibility that the solution offers its users.

    A computing services manager notes, "Its security is most valuable. It gives us a way to secure devices, not only those that are steady. We do have a few tablets and other devices, and it is a way for us to secure these devices and manage them. We know they're out there and what's their status. We can manage their life cycle and verify that they're updated properly."

    The head of IT engineering at a financial services company writes, "The one feature we find most useful is the Mobile Application Manager. There are two types: we have the complete MDM and the Mobile Application Manager (MAM). We don't give our users phones, it is their own personal phone, and we need to allow them to have access to the company details on their phone. We need to create a balance between their own personal data and the company data. We deploy the Mobile Application Manager for them so that we won't be able to interfere with their own personal data."
