Centralized endpoint security has improved and supports hybrid work and BYOD policies

Regarding what I dislike about Microsoft Intune and its downsides, I would say that more Mac controls are needed because we have limited Mac and Linux control. When comparing controls and policies between Windows, Mac, and Linux, Windows has almost everything you can think of, while Mac and Linux have limited types of control. You cannot implement certain things on Mac and Linux that you can on Windows. The limited controls are a major issue. Additionally, if Microsoft could find a way to embed servers into Microsoft Intune, that would be beneficial. Microsoft Intune is not really designed for servers or Windows servers. It is more tailored towards Windows 11 and Windows 10 operating systems. Windows servers are not fully supported. Enterprise organizations usually have both servers and endpoints, which are users' workstations. For servers, most people look for other solutions such as SCCM, which is Configuration Manager. However, SCCM is what Microsoft Intune is trying to replace. Both SCCM and Microsoft Intune belong to Microsoft. Microsoft is trying to transition organizations into Microsoft Intune, the native cloud solution. However, because this update is still in process, servers are not fully compatible with Microsoft Intune and cannot be managed by it. The current policy that has emerged from issues with clients is what they call co-management, which is relatively new, and I do not know if adoption is significant. Many legacy or older customers who have been using these products for decades still have SCCM. When it is time for them to manage their Windows devices, they use what is called cloud attach. Cloud attach is a term whereby your SCCM is connected to your Microsoft Intune. Most people do not know about it, but I have deployed it for several organizations. Cloud attach and co-management work together so that your device is in SCCM, but some policies are pushed from Microsoft Intune. It is like two different solutions working hand in hand. That is what they call co-management. Microsoft Intune does not bring all of your endpoint and security management tools into one place, which is the goal and how it should be. However, as I mentioned, servers are not included. If we talk about end users, Microsoft Intune does bring all your devices together. In a typical enterprise environment, you have end users with workstations, laptops, company-issued phones, and bring your own devices. You can create policies for all of these. However, for the backend, your servers do not have much coverage. Servers are not really covered by Microsoft Intune in that way.

Centralized secrets have secured CI/CD pipelines and prevent password traces in terminals

Infisical's best features include the ease I have to store passwords and manage the users who will use those passwords. That helps a lot. User management through Infisical makes my work easier because I am able to manage the access levels to the types of passwords that I have stored in Infisical. This allows me to have higher access levels with higher-level passwords and deeper levels of access. Infisical is extremely simple to use, so it is important to emphasize how easy it is to handle the platform as a whole. It is very straightforward and very easy to deal with in terms of how it is laid out. 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. We stopped using passwords directly on personal computers. This ensures a very high level of security for both those in development and those in management. There are possibilities of computers breaking or losing saved passwords. If someone breaks into my personal computer, that person will not have access via prompt to my high-level passwords. This security segregation raises and gives much more credibility to the company as a whole. I have noticed time savings in access management after adopting Infisical as the main benefit. Regarding leaks, we have not had anything proven related to leaks yet.

Efficient monitoring with detailed customization, yet complexity remains

The best feature of WhatsUp Gold is the automatic generation of topology and its integration with virtualization and wireless. I have used the automated device discovery with this topology feature. The interactive map feature helps me manage the topology because sometimes we cannot draw the topology correctly, so we need to manually edit the connections. The alerting system is very tunable and customizable, but it's a little complicated to use. Many customers cannot manage it by themselves and need support from us, the provider. We always use the dashboards in the SOC, where we constantly display a dashboard or multiple dashboards. This allows us to know immediately if the connection or bandwidth is full or if the connection is broken.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I can control applications, and I can secure applications by using the MAM policy, which is very effective and very helpful in protecting our users' data on mobile devices such as iPhones and Android phones."

"It is very easy for me to configure all the things. Once I create policies and applications in Intune, it is very easy for us to enroll users."

"We can securely manage both company-owned devices and personal devices enrolled in our BYOD program."

"The best features in Microsoft Intune that I appreciate the most are the strong security, encryption, and operating system version."

"It is very stable and scalable because this is a cloud-only solution."

"It provides control over all mobile devices that are being connected to the corporate network."

"Dynamic groups allow us to set conditions for automatic membership, eliminating the need for user intervention or manual review and ensuring a seamless workflow."

"Microsoft Intune scales very effectively with our growing needs."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"Infisical has positively impacted my organization by helping us transition from deploying everything manually, where we had to copy-paste all the environment variables into the environment files in the cloud, by dynamically injecting all the tokens and secrets into the workflow, which was very fast and saved a lot of time."

"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 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."

"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."

"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 had a positive impact on my organization, even in its proof-of-concept phase, because it integrated more seamlessly into the development environment."

"Auto scanning is most valuable. It looks for rogue devices on your network."

"It's a good product, and if one has the expertise to use it, it will be a good investment and it will help IT to save and plan for the future."

"WhatsUp Gold is very easy to deploy."

"The tool's most valuable feature is the visibility it offers of everything in the network and infrastructure."

"Overall, we have been satisfied with the functionality of the product."

"In terms of pricing, I'd say that the pricing is nice and the product is good."

"The best feature of WhatsUp Gold is the automatic generation of topology and its integration with virtualization and wireless."

"We primarily use the solution to check the state of the network, monitoring thousands of devices and all of the internal network, and it is the first tool we use to see the state of the network for real-time monitoring."

More WhatsUp Gold pros

Cons

"There are a lot of small use cases where we realized that some technical solution was missing in Microsoft in comparison to other products. For example, it lacks something similar to sensing or location-based rules and configurations."

"Microsoft Intune needs to support out of the box Apple Managed Device and Apple Business Managed Device with zero-touch deployment capabilities, which is something competitors provide."

"There were several bugs with stability."

"The reports aren't complete, and it's not easy to build custom reports."

"Microsoft support was not very responsive, and it took approximately one and a half months to get on a call to clear what the problem was."

"Microsoft Intune could be improved in several areas."

"The synchronization could be improved."

"I have one remark about the application management for the Android version. Often, the Play Store opens and leaves the possibility to download to the user, which is not good."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"From a features perspective, there is a little lag when running projects and importing particular secret variables."

"Better documentation is needed."

"One thing that kept frustrating me was that sometimes Infisical was not working from our cloud machine."

"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."

"The technical support does not bother to respond."

"The licensing model could be improved. Right now, the levels are too far apart. This causes the solution to be more expensive than it needs to be."

"I haven't had any issue with stability, except during the upgrade to 2017 when we encountered slow responses."

"The tool should focus on increasing its market share, as it is the only area of concern where improvements are needed."

"I think there are a few bugs now. Although they give some resolution for this, we cannot share the network remotely because of our company policy."

"Setting up WhatsUp Gold is complicated and not easy because it requires managing SNMP and many complex settings in the devices it's monitoring, and fine-tuning it to fit our needs is also not very easy."

"Pricing is too high relative to how many devices we use. The price list is not linear to number of devices."

"Integrations with other devices. I want to have a product that has full integration with my active directory so I can track user activity. I want to track my complete user activity, so I'm looking for a product to implement in the near future, which will have full integration with my network and active directory users. It became very difficult to track user activity."

More WhatsUp Gold cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of the license and the features are justified for myself as a technical person."

"It is cheap, but as compared to Google, it is costly. Google is cheaper, but quality-wise, Microsoft Intune is better."

"Microsoft's licensing is more flexible and adaptive than its competitors."

"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."

"While I can't provide insights from a business perspective, it's worth noting that the pricing may differ significantly, and the discount we received might not be reflective of standard business rates."

"Microsoft Intune has a user-based subscription model. You can go for a monthly or a yearly payment."

"Intune is included with our F3 and E5 licenses."

"Generally, we get favorable discounts, so it's not too bad. Obviously, we're looking at decreasing those wherever we can to bring value back to the public purse because it's all charity based. It's all publicly funded."

Information not available

"The choice of version depends on the number of points, or devices, that you want to monitor, and this makes the product expensive."

"This is a well priced solution."

"The tool's price is reasonable. WhatsUp Gold is cheaper than SolarWinds."

"The pricing can be on the expensive side when considering competing products."

"The most valuable feature is the cost compared to other solutions."

"I'm not sure, but it's expensive. We don't pay any additional fees."

"The price of WhatsUp Gold is good."

"It is per device, per year. The pricing is very clear. If you have a service agreement, you get all of your major upgrades and minor upgrades. It was under $10,000 to go all-in with all of the different add-ons for it."
