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

"Application deployment and keeping the devices secure no matter where they are, by having this cloud solution — that has been great."
"The overall user experience is quite nice. I have no complaints from end users regarding their devices enrolled in Intune."
"The management control feature is the most valuable."
"Its price is reasonable. It is a part of our M365 suite."
"This product offers an alternative solution to other UEM (Unified Endpoint Management) solutions."
"The best features in Microsoft Intune that I appreciate most are its centralized features."
"One of the most valuable aspects of Microsoft Intune is its seamless integration with Azure Active Directory, offering capabilities akin to Group Policy Objects."
"I would recommend Microsoft Intune to others; it is a very good and scalable solution."
"The solution is primarily used for single control and single sign which helps with the security and authentication of multiple devices."
"It's easy to set up."
"Cloud Identity is scalable enough for our needs. It's serving more than 3,000 users in our organization."
"The most valuable feature of Google Cloud Identity is its stability."
"The best features of Google Cloud Identity are that it's free and works with modern applications, meaning if it's OAuth or using the OAuth protocol, it's very easy to integrate with those applications."
"The most valuable feature is the performance."
"Although we have not looked at the whole product and explored it completely, we find that all the authentication features that we are using now are valuable."
"The tool provides a free service that you can integrate for laptop authentication. You also don’t need a separate Active Directory."
"It's very easy to use."
"The agility is impressive, and it's simple to manage."
 

Cons

"The technical support could be improved."
"There are a lot of updates coming from Microsoft that suddenly affect our security policies."
"There are a couple of issues with stability."
"The solution can have some compliance problems in general and the end-point user can bypass easily the company policies in Intune."
"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."
"The feature that allows us to import the business application from the configuration manager to Intune is not very good at this time."
"Improvements are needed in Microsoft Intune's enterprise app management, including support for more applications in app patching, boot batching, and discovery. I also hope the cost of Remote Help will decrease because it's a much-needed Intune function. Our customers need that capability, or they will buy it from a third party at a premium."
"Reporting could be improved. It needs to be more expensive and robust."
"The interface could be improved by simplifying it further."
"The customer service and support team is not so good."
"The management of external users needs to be introduced in the tool as it is an area of concern in the tool presently."
"In the next release, I would like to see integration with different systems, mainly wireless SIEMS and other analytical systems that we want to introduce."
"The integration should be made easier."
"Google Cloud Identity the UI could improve."
"We cannot manage the attributes of SSPR."
"The pricing for this solution is a little bit higher than AWS and others, which is something that should be improved."
"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

"The E5 license is expensive."
"Pricing can be improved."
"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."
"It's affordable for the protection it gives. There are no additional costs."
"We have the business premium licenses for the solution."
"Microsoft Intune is available for individual purchase at a low per-device cost."
"The tool is cheaper than our company's other MDM tools."
"Intune is cost-effective as it is included in some of the Office 365 packages."
"We probably spend about $50,000 a year on licensing."
"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."
"The product is billed on a monthly basis depending on the number of users."
"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."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a three out of ten."
"The fees are paid monthly and there are no additional costs other than the licensing fees."
"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
"The solution is not expensive."
