Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, JAMF, VMware and others in Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM)."Agile and easy to deploy MDM solution that covers the maximum number of policies. Stable, scalable, and with knowledgeable technical support."
"The most important thing for me is the autopilot feature."
"The features I found most valuable in Intune are its user visibility and troubleshooting options."
"As the solution is a software as a service, the scalability is unlimited."
"It is a stable solution."
"It's normally able to meet 100% expectations of our customers."
"Based on my experience, I find Intune very flexible for managing Windows devices. We can use scripting, and we can make use of the self-service portal or the company portal to publish some of the applications for Windows."
"The dashboards, the security, and the customization capabilities work very well for us."
"Google Cloud Identity uses what they call organizational units (OUs) instead of the security groups you'd find in Microsoft's Entra."
"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 most valuable feature is the performance."
"Google is always on its own. Google Cloud Identity is pretty good on every point."
"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."
"Cloud Identity is scalable enough for our needs. It's serving more than 3,000 users in our organization."
"The solution is moderate to difficult to use. I found the approach was practical. Following the steps made it very easy to use."
"The inventory tool is the most valuable. We have some clients that would only do the entitlements section and search for contracts using Excel sheets. The inventory tool is a lot easier for the managing of licenses, installations, and devices on the tools is a huge benefit."
"The most important thing is reporting. They should improve their reporting. They should give a free hand to users. In SCCM, I can create my own reports. For example, in SCCM, I can create an inventory report for my PC or for all PCs, but in Intune, we don't have an option to create any report. Microsoft claims that Intune is a successor of SCCM, but SCCM is more powerful than Intune. So, they should develop Intune more and make it equivalent to SCCM. Then, their product will be great in the market."
"It would be better if they can reduce the cost of the license."
"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."
"The pricing can be expensive if you are not combining it with other products."
"There is still a gap between SCCM and Intune, especially in the reporting, inventory, and software deployment areas."
"Intune's third-party patch management could be better. It should be easier for the average system admin to keep non-Microsoft applications updated."
"Intune lags all of its competitors in terms of report generation."
"Its configuration is fairly complicated. You have to do quite a bit of discovery to be able to deploy it for a customer. You have to ask them a lot of questions. So, its initial deployment is the biggest challenge. They should make it easier to deploy with the use of Wizards or something else. During the deployment stage, there could be profiles for the customers who are particularly wanting to use certain feature sets of Intune."
"I would like to see more integration in future releases."
"The interface could be improved by simplifying it further."
"I want the tool to improve its support. It should also incorporate some functionalities. Currently, preparing presentations in Google is a pain point. The tool’s certain features like user provisioning are not intuitive as well. The product’s LDAP support is very poor. Clients do not trust the product due to the spam."
"Google Cloud Identity the UI could improve."
"We cannot manage the attributes of SSPR."
"The management of external users needs to be introduced in the tool as it is an area of concern in the tool presently."
"If you want to set up some alerts, you don't have much control over the configuration. You have to use their default alerts. And they only provide alerts for certain activities, so you cannot customize those. Monitoring isn't very helpful either."
"The pricing for this solution is a little bit higher than AWS and others, which is something that should be improved."
"There are some licensing models that could be able to be managed in Snow Device Manager that are not, such as token-based models. This would be a benefit since the growth of blockchains."
