Centralized device management has transformed security and streamlined remote provisioning
One area where Microsoft Intune can improve is the user interface. Sometimes the portal feels a bit complex and not very intuitive, especially for new users, and it can take time to find specific settings. Another point is troubleshooting. While logs are available, the diagnostic policies and sync issues can still be time-consuming and not very straightforward. I also feel that reporting could be more detailed and customizable. The built-in reports are helpful, but for deeper insights, I often need to rely on additional tools. Overall, it is a strong solution, but improving usability and troubleshooting experience would make it even better. While Microsoft Intune works very well within the Microsoft ecosystem, the integration of some third-party tools could be smoother and require less customization. Support is another area that could improve, as sometimes response times can be slow, and resolving complex issues may take longer than expected. In terms of features, I think more advanced automation and built-in remediation options would be helpful since common issues can be fixed automatically without manual intervention.

User lifecycle management becomes streamlined with unified access and context-aware policies
If applications support SAML protocols, integration is always an easy task. However, there are difficulties with form-based applications or LDAP-based applications, particularly traditional applications. We need more flexibility not only with SAML but also with LDAP-based and form-based applications. Context-aware access currently only works with SAML-based applications. If other application integrations could support context-aware access, that would be helpful, as companies are in a transition mode with various traditional, form-based, and LDAP-based applications. Mobile device management could be improved. Through Google Cloud Identity, we can manage Android applications and have control over iOS devices, but container functionality is missing. This is particularly important for BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) scenarios, especially in India where the market is now split equally between iOS and Android users. Improvements in this area and integration capabilities would be beneficial.

Easy to use and set up with easy mobile access to reports
The initial setup is quite straightforward and simple. It only takes one day to set up. At the time of SAP implementation, it's a part of the portfolio. It's a one-time activity that you have just implemented in your ERP boxes. After that, you have to install a mobile application on Android or iOS, and you can use your user ID and password credentials, and you can access your reports. Once it's installed, you only need one IT person to align things. It doesn't take a big team. They can generate and change reports as necessary. If you need to change certain things, you need an SAP developer. There is no admin team requirement, and you can access it from anywhere.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The best features include the management, which is quite good, and endpoints."
"Everything has worked better since we started using Intune."
"As the solution is a software as a service, the scalability is unlimited."
"Cloud control made simple, device secured with ease, and workflow runs smoothly."
"We already use a lot of Microsoft products in our company, and therefore, it made sense to also use this product."
"Fortunately, now everything is streamlined into a single, unified platform."
"I like Intune's ability to install software to a device remotely and push policy through the Azure portal."
"I like the fact that it's integrated with the rest of the Microsoft products, so customers can manage it from their Office 365 portal or Azure portal."
"Following the steps made it very easy to use."
"It is a very stable solution. I would rate it a ten out of ten."
"I have not experienced any serious problem with stability."
"The solution is moderate to difficult to use. I found the approach was practical. Following the steps made it very easy to use."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"Everything is relatively good and overall, the product itself is good."
"Google is always on its own, and Google Cloud Identity is pretty good on every point."
"The most valuable feature is the performance."
"Everything is available to you from your handset."
"If you need to access company reports on the go, you can pull them up on your phone, which allows for immediate access without the need to carry around your laptop everywhere."
 

Cons

"Intune has some limitations when it comes to application updates for third-party applications. You can schedule an update, but when it's a package setup, you need to supercede and replace it each time."
"A more incisive reporting tool with automated progress updates and graphical representation would be beneficial, as the current manual method lacks efficiency and visual clarity."
"Intune is not the most user-friendly mobile device management platform available."
"Sometimes, updating a client policy is very difficult. This needs to be improved."
"Reporting and troubleshooting for the application deployment could be better. It's very difficult to understand."
"However, in Microsoft Intune that is not possible because Microsoft releases it across the world as one data piece."
"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."
"Microsoft Intune lacks the ability to provide seamless remote assistance or remote control."
"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 pricing for this solution is a little bit higher than AWS and others, which is something that should be improved."
"In Google, if we want support they are very slow to respond."
"The interface could be improved by simplifying it further."
"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."
"Their stock management and remote computer management can be improved."
"We cannot manage the attributes of SSPR."
"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."
"We would like it if SAP could integrate the transactional mode as well so that users can perform transactional jobs by mobile-only."
"We would like it if SAP could integrate the transactional mode as well so that users can perform transactional jobs by mobile-only."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing depends on the features. Microsoft offers special packages if there are more than 10,000 users, and you may be able to get a reduced rate."
"Microsoft Intune is more expensive than other solutions, but it offers a wider range of features and control."
"I would rate the price a four out of ten with ten being the most expensive."
"It comes with the E5 plan. We bought the E5 plan from Microsoft."
"It's a part of Microsoft 365 and E5 licenses. Microsoft's strategy of making every feature in Microsoft Intune paid needs optimization. Remote control is one of the basic features, not a luxury feature, yet we must pay for it. I"
"Microsoft Intune costs about $7 per user per month, which is somewhat on the pricier end. That said, it's a reliable product, so it's fair."
"It is average. Some of the costs are quite high depending on what the customer currently uses, but overall, it is not bad. I would not say that I would not recommend Intune based on the cost. I definitely would, but they can definitely improve on the cost. So overall, its cost is not bad."
"The pricing needs improvement."
"The product is billed on a monthly basis depending on the number of users."
"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
"The pricing is a bit expensive."
"The licensing cost depends on the partners and the relationship between the company and the partners."
"The fees are paid monthly and there are no additional costs other than the licensing fees."
"The solution is not expensive."
"We probably spend about $50,000 a year on licensing."
"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."
