"It has a useful device management feature."
"Easy to use."
"It provides control over all mobile devices that are being connected to the corporate network."
"The ability to manage devices with different sets of policies is most valuable."
"The biggest thing for us is enforcing logins only from devices that are managed by Intune."
"Application deployment and keeping the devices secure no matter where they are, by having this cloud solution — that has been great."
"Among the most valuable features are the Company Portal that is built into Intune, and the update rings so that we can manage what types of future updates the devices get."
"One of the most useful features was the single sign-on. You can use it as an identity provider or service provider. And you can use their organization unit feature to enable or disable some of the features for a specific group of users."
"I used it as an administrator without implementing it myself. As for valuable aspects or benefits, the significant point is that it's a straightforward, single solution that just works."
"It is a very stable solution. I would rate it a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature of Google Cloud Identity is group access. You are able to assign policies to groups instead of users individually."
"The tool provides a free service that you can integrate for laptop authentication. You also don’t need a separate Active Directory."
"The most valuable feature of Google Cloud Identity is its stability."
"The Cloud Identity is well advanced in terms of features, applications, and the components that it is offering."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The ability to run event viewer, task manager, services, command, file browser, certificate all remotely without interrupting users is the most valuable aspect. Software deployment and prohibiting, allowing us to standardize on the software that has been deployed through the environment and then prohibiting illegal software such as torrent applications has been valuable."
"The solution is time-saving and resource-saving."
"I like being able to image over the network. That's a nice feature that it has. Patch management is pretty decent on it as well."
"ManageEngine Desktop Central has greatly improved our organization by utilizing Service Desk Plus to monitor and keep track of issues that our end users report to our Help Desk Department. We also have written in the ode of our company's software to notify Support if an end-user experience an issue and does not report it."
"The stability is very good."
"The mobile functionality is very easy."
"The initial setup process is good."
"We can scale the product."
"Additional application deployment options e.g. MSI deployment with more complex parameters or additional side-by-side files, and non-MSI deployment options."
"Microsoft Intune is not user-friendly to manage and has room for improvement."
"No option to do end-to-en macOS management. Slow implementation of policies."
"I expect Microsoft Intune to have more features in the cloud because there are two major functionalities that we need to be added. This is software metering and license management. These functionalities, for now, must be on-premise. For this purpose, we have set up a SQL Server and I hope that in near future this option will be in the cloud in Microsoft Intune."
"It would be good if, in addition to the minimal patching and compliance, we could also use Intune for application deployment. For instance, if a device is not patched, Intune should have the ability to push not only a Microsoft patch but also other patches, such as a browser patch."
"Having a dedicated configuration server that assists in modifying the configuration service, and creating personalized structures, interfaces, and web services could enhance usability."
"The UI is not user-friendly and has room for improvement."
"The closest Microsoft Intune can be to GPOs, the better. There needs to be more granularity on application deployments. However, they have done better recently with the application deployments."
"Technical support is slow."
"There is room for improvement in the configuration of their security policies. It seems quite basic."
"The pricing for this solution is a little bit higher than AWS and others, which is something that should be improved."
"The solution needs to better integrate with Mac's OS."
"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."
"The integration should be made easier."
"They are going ahead and adding a few more things to the Google Cloud premium edition. Their stock management and remote computer management can be improved."
"I would like to see more integration in future releases."
"Documentation could improve so we don't need to create the support requests first."
"Improvement should be done as per customer requirements."
"Desktop Central has very good information, however, you can't customize the dashboards."
"Tech support is mediocre at best."
"Their support channel could be better. They're an India-based company. They're based out of India. So, here in the States, support can be difficult when you're dealing with time zone requirements. A more global support channel would be a wise choice for them."
"The pricing could be a bit better."
"I would like to see them include the ability to find out the network usage but I believe that might be a feature of it already."
"I would like to have the option to install the agent remotely."
