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.

User-friendly solution simplifies modern application integration and streamlines data investigation
We do not use these capabilities of Google Cloud Identity because of the limitations for Active Directory integration. Google Cloud Identity could have impacted our organization positively, but if it weren't for the Active Directory integration requirement, we could have been using the Google Identity solution. Google Cloud Identity can be improved by having better integration with Active Directory, but since Active Directory is also a Microsoft solution, we don't think it will happen; that's the only disadvantage of Google. The Active Directory integration that Entra has is a better implementation compared to Google, which we found lacking.

Effortless policy management with built-in simplicity that enhances user experience
I work in kiosk delivery for my users' laptops and cellular phones It's very easy to use. It's very comfortable to work on Hexnode since its form and usage are very simple. The support is only available in English right now, which is a bit of a problem for my users since they would prefer…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ability to deploy patches and automate software deployments to end-user devices is very useful."
"The technical support of Microsoft Intune is good."
"For our office workers who are not based in Norway, when we order the PC, we can do some of the settings for them. These are standardized settings. We can set them up exactly as they are in Norway so that they're the same."
"Compliance and the policies that can be set are the most valuable features."
"Microsoft Intune brings all endpoint and security management tools into one place, and for app discovery, deployment, and automatic updating, it's reliable."
"This product offers an alternative solution to other UEM (Unified Endpoint Management) solutions."
"Intune's most valuable features are its device management capabilities, particularly its centralized integration with other Microsoft stack components."
"Microsoft Intune is unique in providing management for all operating systems, including macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS."
"The most valuable feature is that you can manage users from one central location."
"The most beneficial feature for enhancing security is context-aware access."
"The Cloud Identity is well advanced in terms of features, applications, and the components that it is offering."
"The solution is primarily used for single control and single sign which helps with the security and authentication of multiple devices."
"The tool provides a free service that you can integrate for laptop authentication. You also don’t need a separate Active Directory."
"I have not experienced any serious problem with stability."
"I think the first thing that is great is that it gives you a lot of features, like login, and then vaulted passwords and secure LDAP. It becomes easier for the end customer to leverage all those features without going to a higher SKU of G Suite."
"The solution is moderate to difficult to use. I found the approach was practical. Following the steps made it very easy to use."
"It's very easy to use."
"The agility is impressive, and it's simple to manage."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in integrating additional features such as Purview and SharePoint activities into Intune."
"Intune has limited integration with non-Microsoft solutions."
"I would like to see micro VPN. I like the way that some of the other providers have done something similar where, as you open that app on an end-point device, it creates a micro VPN straight into your device, which is quite a nice little feature. Also, Microsoft Intune relies heavily on its fellow products in the suite. It would be nice if Microsoft Intune could stand on its own two feet."
"Microsoft Intune's support for Mac devices is lacking and could be improved."
"For autopilot, there should be more granularity on the settings that they offer at this stage."
"Intune should improve the management of non-Microsoft devices. It would be better to manage Mac, Android, and other non-Microsoft operating system devices within the same Intune interface."
"There are items that require improvements. One is the controls from iOS."
"The main disadvantage seen today is regarding Linux clients. We have a lot of development resources that have Linux on their clients, and we can't manage them on the same platform, as we do with other clients such as macOS and Windows. So, it should have support for Linux clients. It should also have better support for macOS."
"Technical support is slow."
"Google Cloud Identity can be improved by having better integration with Active Directory, but since Active Directory is also a Microsoft solution, we don't think it will happen; that's the only disadvantage of Google."
"The one place it could be improved is the password vaulting. The password vaulting does not prevent the admins from reading users' passwords, and that's a debate."
"Google Cloud Identify could make the technology used easier to understand as a layman making it more user-friendly."
"The solution's storage capacity could be increased."
"I would like to see more integration in future releases."
"The customer service and support team is not so good."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"The support is only available in English right now, which is a bit of a problem for my users since they would prefer Spanish support."
"The support is only available in English right now, which is a bit of a problem for my users since they would prefer Spanish support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its price is in the medium range. It is acceptable because you're paying for the features. I am not aware of any additional costs."
"The pricing needs improvement."
"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."
"There is a license needed to use the solution and we are on an annual license."
"Our Office 365 Business Premium license, including Office 365 and Intune Management, offers excellent value."
"The price of Intune is included with the license for Office 365, so we don't have to pay anything extra for it."
"Microsoft Intune is available for individual purchase at a low per-device cost."
"The E5 license is expensive."
"The product is billed on a monthly basis depending on the number of users."
"The pricing is a bit expensive."
"We probably spend about $50,000 a year on licensing."
"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
"The licensing cost depends on the partners and the relationship between the company and the partners."
"I rate the product price a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price."
"When I worked on Cloud Identity, they offered a free or enterprise version. You can synchronize and create up to 100 user identities in the free version. After that, you have to purchase a business or enterprise license. In that model, you'll be charged based on the number of users."
"The solution is not expensive."
