Amit-Sarkar - PeerSpot reviewer
An easy-to-manage and deploy solution, but it should provide open customization
You don't need a certification or great knowledge to manage and deploy the solution because it's not complex. It's a very easy plug-and-play solution where you can just enroll the devices and choose the features you want. Kandji doesn't require much customization because it has built-in features that we have to create manually otherwise.
AkashKamble - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Pros

"It's a very easy plug-and-play solution where you can just enroll the devices and choose the features you want."
"The cloud base is perfect for me."
"The compliance and configuration policies in Microsoft Intune are the most valuable features, saving significant time compared to manual implementation."
"It has helped with compliance. It has helped to ensure that devices comply with the organization's policy. If they are not compliant and secure, they cannot access the resources."
"Intune saves time, and it is very easy to use. It allows us to manage applications completely."
"The ability to manage devices over the cloud is a big benefit, as devices now receive updates regardless of location."
"It is a cloud solution, and you can easily scale as your needs grow."
"I like that it's very good and very simple. I found that we just needed to have a proper subscription for an Intune tenant, and from the subscription, if we have the right role assigned, like the global admin role or the owner role, we can use Microsoft cloud resources. With the help of that, we can do many things like setting up Microsoft Intune in the cloud to create our virtual machines. All these can be done, and the steps are very simple. I really liked it. I like features like Windows Auto-Enrollment. I like it very much because whenever you supply it to the end-user, it will be ready to use immediately. The end-user only needs to provide the user credentials, and then they are good to go. I also really like Cloud PC, which was recently launched on Azure."
"The performance of Microsoft Intune is good."
 

Cons

"Kandji should give open customization."
"My main pain point for Microsoft Intune is the contact part. Not all Android or iOS applications have access to integration, for example, contacts."
"There is no catalog for mobile access management (MAM) security."
"Intune does not provide real-time visibility."
"The reporting part needs improvement, and it would be beneficial if it could integrate with third-party tools instead of just Power BI."
"Microsoft Intune's support for Mac devices is lacking and could be improved."
"Microsoft Intune could improve by being more user-friendly and having it geared toward device management. The graphic interface is not very good."
"A feature I would want to see added in Microsoft Intune is the ability to manage other non-Microsoft devices."
"There have been instances where enrolling devices should take 10 minutes but ends up taking an hour due to various issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Users have to pay a yearly licensing fee for Kandji, which is expensive."
"There are licenses required for this solution. We enable licenses on the devices we need to manage."
"The price of Microsoft Intune is reasonable."
"It comes with the E5 plan. We bought the E5 plan from Microsoft."
"The price for Intune is fair."
"No one can compete with Microsoft when it comes to price, and the features it is offering."
"While Microsoft charges for actual usage, it lacks discount options."
"In terms of the product price and licensing costs, my company finds the product to be reasonably priced."
"The pricing for Microsoft Intune is reasonable. Our clients are satisfied."
