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.
Pete C - PeerSpot reviewer
Customizable with a self-service portal and a good security posture
Policies enabled for self-service should have keywords attached, so that multiple search terms can direct to a single preferred result, without having to clutter the description field. The new remote support tool is still lacking features compared to other industry solutions. There is no built-in functionality for tracking changes over time for multiple devices. All patch reporting is only a current snapshot. The password management tools are fairly outdated. The web console (GUI) is slow with maddening UI/UX inconsistencies.
Mohammed-Azam - PeerSpot reviewer
Streamline enrollment with seamless security and integration while technical support improves
Integration is required first. Samsung Knox needs to be configured initially. Once configured for the first time, the process becomes simplified. For example, in our client's case, they ship Samsung Galaxy devices directly to employees. When the end user receives the device, they simply open the box and attempt to enroll by entering their username and password. No additional steps are required beyond that. There are very few questions asked. Once authentication is completed, the user can proceed without selecting many options. The system directly logs in, and the user receives apps pushed by the console. It is also integrated from the MDM. Certain apps are pushed to employees for their use. This ensures the work profile remains secure.

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."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is that it is more of a one-stop shop, providing an easier experience."
"For our office workers who are not based in Norway, when we order the PC, we can do some of the settings for them. These are standardized settings. We can set them up exactly as they are in Norway so that they're the same."
"I haven't used other mobile device management solutions, but compared to SCCM, we eliminate a lot of on-premises infrastructure and maintenance by using Intune."
"The Autopilot feature is the most valuable because it saves significant time on managing devices. We can ship devices globally, and users can set them up on their own. It's convenient."
"Intune does consolidate all endpoint and security management tools into one place, making everything easier to manage."
"For our clients, the conditional access feature along with different compliance policies that they can set is valuable."
"If any user tries to access company data, it directly interacts with the conditional access policy. This helps us protect our data and set the criteria for how data can be accessed and shared."
"The Automated Device Enrolment is great!"
"Jamf Pro allowed us to patch and manage endpoints while collecting log data to help improve operational efficiency."
"If I need to deploy an app to all the laptops, I can use the smart group I created for them instead of choosing each device one at a time."
"Apple School Manager integration and access to VPP content made the integration of devices into our fleet flawless and application installation much simpler and faster."
"If you want to manage macOS devices in your enterprise and want to make it as easy for the user as well as for the administrators, you should use the DEP with Jamf Pro."
"Automating the refresh of the devices is huge for both sides of the end-user experience."
"My team use this solution to provide end-to-end support on our managed Mac fleet. This includes doing OS updates and upgrades, application deployments, configuration settings and outlining."
"It's a scalable product."
"The most valuable feature of Samsung Knox is the endpoint protection it offers. Users have the ability to perform a factory reset without the need for a hard reset, which is very beneficial."
"Samsung Knox is doing excellent work with its current offerings."
"Overall, I would rate the solution as a 10."
"Samsung Knox has very seamless integration capabilities for deployment; we easily upload devices through the KME, Samsung Knox Mobile Enrollment."
"It's a very good product that any organization can use to help manage their devices."
"One portal for all the features and the remote support capability in Samsung Knox is highly valued. The enterprise editions and the free Knox Suite licenses for one year are also beneficial."
"It's a very good product that any organization can use to help manage their devices."
 

Cons

"I'd suggest adding more features for macOS in Intune. There should be more functionality for managing macOS. There should be a better capability for pushing things down on macOS. Currently, Intune is not capable of managing macOS at the same level as Windows."
"I would like to see better integration with Microsoft."
"Its integration with Mac and Linux devices can be better. They should provide more features similar to Windows. We should be able to manage policies within Linux and Mac machines. If we can have more granular controls for these two operating systems, it will be really helpful."
"It should be easier to define policies and comply with those policies."
"Due to the abundance of features, there's a lot to organize, which makes managing and setting up the solution challenging. The setup is immense, and it would be good to see improvement in this area."
"Could benefit from user having more control over devices."
"I would like to see Intune improve its handling of hybrid domain joins. We continue to experience issues with machines losing their hybrid domain join status."
"The scalability could be improved, and like most other MDM products, Intune is good but not 100% there yet."
"Jamf doesn't make the Cloud file system visible so there are rare occasions where the local repository and Cloud repository get out of sync."
"This solution would benefit from more focus on Self Service, such as Office 365 and GSuite integration."
"An easier way to deploy Full OS upgrades would be a great start."
"I think that there should also be more integrations with Jamf that could better the intelligence-gathering when making business decisions."
"It would be great if we get an email notification when the Mac users install any apps, so IT can be alerted."
"If it could do ticketing and non-Apple devices then that would be huge."
"Patch Management needs work to be efficient."
"One feature or improvement that would be awesome is some sort of mobile app from Jamf that can be used to alert admins of custom alerts."
"We faced multiple issues when pushing configuration profiles and policies through Samsung Knox. The students were cracking the entire system."
"The main drawback is that they need to expand this product beyond Samsung devices to include every device."
"The main drawback is that they need to expand this product beyond Samsung devices to include every device."
"Samsung Knox needs to expand customer features across all devices, not just Samsung devices."
"Features like private DNS would be very useful if pushed through Knox Manage."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Microsoft Intune is expensive."
"I would rate the price a four out of ten with ten being the most expensive."
"Intune is available as an individual product, but it also comes with Office 365 Premium or an Enterprise license, and the price varies for each version."
"Its price is quite okay. I wish they provide certain additional features with the same license."
"Intune's pricing is competitive. For example, the license of Blackberry's Enterprise Mobility Suite was costly, but Intune is affordable. It is included as an additional feature when you buy security enhancements for your organization. For example, let's say I have fifty users in my organization and all of them are using Microsoft cloud services, like Teams, Office 365, and OneDrive."
"We have the business premium licenses for the solution."
"We don't get Intune as a separate module. Most of the time, we use it within an enterprise agreement like E3 or E5. Those licenses are at a good price, but what is annoying is that every single year they go higher."
"Microsoft Intune is a cost effective choice. It is less expensive than other products on the market."
"It would be beneficial if it could be reduced slightly."
"The price difference between Jamf Pro and VMware Workspace One is not very much, but when counting the cost of my time, Jamf Pro is clearly much better."
"The cost of Jamf is certainly worth the investment."
"Depending on how much support you require, it might make sense to add that to the licensing agreement."
"I think it pays for itself to let Jamf host the server."
"Setup and licensing prices are getting to be too high."
"The total ROI is worth every penny."
"With respect to pricing, Jamf Pro is the better bet."
