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.

Centralized device control has strengthened compliance and continuously improves risk visibility
The packaging of the solution or the offering of Hexnode UEM could be improved or enhanced, because one package does not fit all. Hexnode UEM should be flexible in its solution offering. Currently, they only have around three types of licenses or packages, and whether you use the solution or the features or not, they are already included in the suite. Some products offer an a la carte solution, so in order to compete with those products, Hexnode UEM should consider repackaging the solution with respect to the region where it is being offered. The solution offered to India might not be optimal if it is offered to the Philippines or a different country, so the offering should be on a country-by-country basis or a regional basis.

Immediate results in patching promptly address vulnerabilities
When working with Tanium, there are some older devices that haven't been patched for a long time, and certain patches are not included in Tanium. I have to search outside to download patches, create bundles, and then perform the task. It would be easier if Tanium provided the patches directly. Some other brands provide the patch with a direct download link, which facilitates the process. Also, I feel that if there were more detailed documents and remediations readily available online for troubleshooting, especially more up-to-date information, it would be beneficial. Currently, some resources online are very out-of-date.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Intune's compliance features are valuable because they allow immediate visibility into ongoing situations."
"I particularly appreciate the administration and security features, which can be deployed easily."
"The main advantage is that Intune performs its intended functions effectively."
"Intune has automated the deployment of patches and applications, which is more efficient and easier."
"One of the standout features of Intune is its seamless accessibility to work data, eliminating the need to be tied to an office or a desktop."
"We use a local Active Directory, but we weren't able to manage all our on-site systems without a solution like Intune, and we needed to deploy software like VPNs and other things. It's seamless now to to this through Intune."
"The security-related tools are excellent; these features allow us to secure devices, lock them down, and ensure compliance."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is patching-related capabilities."
"Hexnode UEM has in-depth support of device operating systems, which is one of the most common requirements."
"It's very easy to use."
"The agility is impressive, and it's simple to manage."
"The solution's technical support is very responsive."
"I find the inventory and compliance features of Tanium to be the most impressive."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the consolidation of all historical data on device endpoints, security drivers, firmware, and Software version gaps."
"The interrogation piece was the most valuable feature because it was very detailed."
"Tanium is a very good product and I would rate it eight or nine out of ten."
"Tanium has made the process of detecting threats more proactive with its detection. So, the process is easier and more efficient."
"The product is granular and can build complex roles compared to other EDR vendors."
"The security features are very valuable."
 

Cons

"Microsoft Intune fails a lot when it comes to device compliance."
"There needs to be more support for Mac operating systems."
"Not all technicians are knowledgeable of the Microsoft solution, so they have to work on that as well."
"Reporting can be better. Only global administrators can see detailed reports at the moment, and I don't want to use the global admin."
"Automations in Microsoft Intune can be more elaborated; KQL (Kusto Query Language) is available, but if multiple automation options were readily available, which would include PowerShell, KQL, JSON, and different interpreters like VS Code or Python readily available from Microsoft Intune, it would help administration and management much better."
"Intune's server management could be better. If it could incorporate more features from System Center into Intune's Configuration Manager, it would be beneficial."
"We would like to see support for Chrome and/or devices for Chromebooks."
"Intune should improve its software inventory to provide better metering of which software is used throughout the company. This is especially needed for reporting third-party software solutions."
"The packaging of the solution or the offering of Hexnode UEM could be improved or enhanced, because one package does not fit all."
"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."
"There are some bugs in the product. The tool needs to improve in the area of reporting."
"We had some issues with the solution's OS upgrade."
"Tanium’s scalability could be improved."
"The solution can give a lot of false positives."
"Most of the time, agent-relative issues have to be more equipped with self-healing features. At times, the agent is there, but for some reason, it doesn't report a status. It gives certain problems that are obviously agent-based."
"I would like to have more integrations and custom plugins to input. Integration is always a big deal in a lot of different environments."
"Any movement into a SaaS solution has challenges since the processes and data flows are not well defined. Hence, you need to build it at the same time."
"Tanium's limitations should be improved because although it is a great tool, it is limited to only a few classes during a session."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Microsoft Intune is reasonably priced for large organizations that already have Microsoft Enterprise licenses, but it is less affordable for smaller businesses."
"We have a limited budget for security investments, so Microsoft should consider reducing pricing in our region. This would make investment more viable, especially since larger businesses in other countries can afford it easily."
"Intune is included in the Microsoft 365 licensing package that we have."
"It is expensive. The cost depends on the license that we choose."
"There is a license required to use the solution. If you're core users in Office 365, for example, you have Outlook email and E3 license, this is only email. You have to buy an EMS license to have Microsoft Intune. It is expensive."
"Our enterprise agreement includes Microsoft Intune at no additional cost."
"In terms of the product price and licensing costs, my company finds the product to be reasonably priced."
"Cost is not my department, but the product is included in the E5 license that we already pay for every user, so no additional cost is incurred."
Information not available
"The solution offers value for money."
"There is an annual license required to use this solution."
"It is higher than some competitors in the market."
"The solution is expensive but it's a good investment."
"Tanium is a more expensive solution in Latin America than some of the competitors, such as BigFix."
"It's an expensive solution. It would be nice if the cost were lower."
"The product's pricing differs from region to region depending on negotiations and the number of endpoints."
