Centralized device management has automated onboarding and improves remote security compliance
One thing I feel Microsoft Intune could improve is troubleshooting visibility. In many cases, when a policy or application deployment fails, the error messages are a bit generic. So, admins still spend time checking logs manually or testing on devices one by one. Compared to the simplicity of deployment, troubleshooting sometimes feels less mature. I also think reporting and real-time monitoring could be stronger. The dashboard gives useful information, but in large environments, many teams still depend on additional tools or scripts for deeper reporting and analytics. If I had to focus on one area first, I would probably choose troubleshooting and reporting. Deployment through Microsoft Intune is generally straightforward, but when something fails, identifying the exact root cause can still take more time than expected. Error messages are sometimes too generic, and admins often have to dig through logs, sync status, or multiple portals to understand what actually happened. I think user experience and policy management could also improve further. Microsoft Intune has become much better over the years, but sometimes the admin portal still feels fragmented because certain configurations open in different sections or redirect to older interfaces. For new admins, especially, it can take time to understand where everything is located. Another thing is policy conflict handling. In larger organizations, multiple device policies, compliance rules, and configuration profiles can overlap. When conflicts happen, the visibility is not always very clear, so admins spend time figuring out which policy actually won or caused the issue.

Centralized secret management has streamlined daily operations but still needs automation features
Unfortunately, we don't use Infisical's automated key rotation. For now, we rotate the secrets ourselves. We've not tried to improve Infisical, so I don't know if there are enhancements planned. We aim to explore using it with AI models and HCP server features implementation with Infisical. We consider having an agent that generates secrets instead of doing it manually. If a file or a secret is needed, the agent might generate it for us based on a specified pattern for the kind of secrets we want, including the length. This would be efficient, as we want to save engineering time. For example, with certificate keys already generated, we currently have to manually copy and put them into the Infisical UI. If an agent could handle that for us, it would be great.

Compliance management has improved efficiency but licensing changes pose challenges
I am not using any advanced features or AI. I am employing a basic VMware vCenter setup for my infrastructure. Scalability has no major limitations, and the solution is efficient. Overall, it's satisfactory. I would rate the vCenter experience as seven out of ten due to concerns regarding license, pricing, and AI features.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Intune's feature that I have found most valuable is its auto-pilot feature."
"In terms of technical support, you will get an immediate response."
"I am easily able to manage devices and assets, especially laptops and desktops."
"It is helpful for managing devices anytime and any place without requiring dependency on the local networks."
"The navigation, the keys, and the settings are easy to find. It is easy to understand."
"One of the biggest advantages of Microsoft Intune is not only the management itself, but also how well it integrates with other Microsoft technologies."
"The solution is scalable, and we currently have tens of thousands of users within our organization using the solution."
"Microsoft Intune is the best solution available; we can connect with any device and handle all queries, which sets it apart from other tools available in the market."
"Infisical is a great tool to manage all your secrets and rather than just a tool, I think it is a lifesaver that people can use to make their software development much easier, especially when they are using it with the proper team."
"Infisical has improved security significantly and makes it very easy for all developers to update, delete, and restore environment variables or secrets while keeping them in a very secure manner on our self-hosted infrastructure."
"At this point in time, it's one of our primary services that we use in the company and we can't do without it."
"Infisical had a positive impact on my organization, even in its proof-of-concept phase, because it integrated more seamlessly into the development environment."
"The main positive impact is that it saves a lot of time because there is no need to worry about security vulnerabilities that can occur."
"Infisical has had a positive impact on my organization because it has helped me manage secrets in a much faster way, and all the people in the mobile or web development departments can integrate with the ecosystem quickly thanks to its SDK."
"Infisical has positively impacted my organization, and even though I was an intern, I noticed improvements or benefits after using it as that was part of the assignment."
"Infisical has had a positive impact on my organization mainly in the level of security regarding the use of passwords that give direct access to the server."
"What I like is the ability to spin up a virtual machine from an image, which makes my backup policy much easier."
"The platform's automation capabilities help reduce manual configuration efforts, speeding up deployment and management tasks."
"The solution is easily scalable, stable, and user-friendly, with very good technical support and documentation that makes the initial setup quite easy."
"In large implementations, especially in regulated environments, vCenter's automation capabilities prove invaluable for implementing new processes efficiently."
"vCenter has some good user experience, and the initial setup is straightforward."
"I would recommend this solution to others, it has worked very well for me."
"By taking manual tasks and automating them, it provides a great value for the customer."
"My experience working with this solution has been good and I recommend it."
 

Cons

"Intune should improve the management of non-Microsoft devices. It would be better to manage Mac, Android, and other non-Microsoft operating system devices within the same Intune interface."
"However, Autopilot enrollment is not available for Mac devices yet, which would be a great addition if implemented."
"Microsoft Intune can be improved with faster policy synchronization, more intuitive troubleshooting tools, enhanced reporting and analytics, and simplified management for complex and hybrid environments, along with better third-party integration support and more granular administrative controls for enterprise-scale deployments."
"In an upcoming release, I would like to see some kind of analytics report."
"For migrations, sometimes we experience some issues with OS deployment and the user experience side."
"It would help if administrators could pinpoint the exact location of a stolen device to help law enforcement retrieve it and apprehend the suspect."
"It is not very stable. Sometimes, it works instantly, and sometimes, something goes wrong, and you get stuck there."
"In terms of what can be improved, I am looking for better enhancements regarding Apple management, not only on the mobile device, but also on the laptop."
"One area that could be improved further is automation around the full secret lifecycle."
"Unfortunately, we don't use Infisical's automated key rotation."
"When we scan Infisical using the Trivy vulnerability scanning tool, we found issues with Infisical CLI Go binaries that are not updated with the latest version."
"One thing that kept frustrating me was that sometimes Infisical was not working from our cloud machine."
"From a features perspective, there is a little lag when running projects and importing particular secret variables."
"Better documentation is needed."
"There isn't a clear document covering all the errors. It would be helpful if the company provided better documentation for solving issues."
"The functions are not running in HTML 5, this is a problem."
"The solution needs to add its own backup system because it has issues integrating with third-party solutions."
"When vCenter is in a Microsoft environment, there is a lot of licensing involved, where we face some difficulties."
"It lacks the capability to manage the other systems."
"It can take a long time for the first information to become available."
"The price of the solution is too expensive for us and we are looking to move to another solution."
"The Self Service Interface is not very good and it needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing needs improvement."
"The purchase of the product was handled by someone else."
"The price of Intune is often included as part of a bundle with other Microsoft licenses, which makes it somewhat cheaper."
"The cost is somewhat on the higher side, particularly when considering certain price points, especially in markets like India."
"Intune is moderately expensive. You can get the license bundled with Office 365 E3 or E5 licenses. The E5s are a bit expensive, but you get some cheaper solutions with Intune."
"There are licenses required for this solution. We enable licenses on the devices we need to manage."
"I would rate the price a four out of ten with ten being the most expensive."
"I am satisfied with the pricing."
Information not available
"This product is not cheap. I have a yearly license for vCenter and the license is not cheap."
"The pricing is mid-range so I rate it a six out of ten."
"We have to pay for the whole bundle and individual pricing is not available. One license costs us almost $200 every year."
"It is on a yearly basis."
"vCenter's pricing is reasonable, but nowadays, they are drastically increasing their prices, which is pathetic."
"The solution comes with three-year support. We have to renew the support annually after the three years are up."
"There is a free license for the standard version. Their enterprise version is expensive. I would advise starting with one server and working your way up as you go. The enterprise version provides support."
"It is an expensive product."
