Centralized device management has transformed security and streamlined remote provisioning
One area where Microsoft Intune can improve is the user interface. Sometimes the portal feels a bit complex and not very intuitive, especially for new users, and it can take time to find specific settings. Another point is troubleshooting. While logs are available, the diagnostic policies and sync issues can still be time-consuming and not very straightforward. I also feel that reporting could be more detailed and customizable. The built-in reports are helpful, but for deeper insights, I often need to rely on additional tools. Overall, it is a strong solution, but improving usability and troubleshooting experience would make it even better. While Microsoft Intune works very well within the Microsoft ecosystem, the integration of some third-party tools could be smoother and require less customization. Support is another area that could improve, as sometimes response times can be slow, and resolving complex issues may take longer than expected. In terms of features, I think more advanced automation and built-in remediation options would be helpful since common issues can be fixed automatically without manual intervention.

One area for improvement for Kandji would be having a bigger suite of applications. I noticed that some of the niche apps our data software firm needs were not in the regular library. We were able to use the custom app feature to create those apps ourselves, but I would love it if Kandji could expand the library. I also wish Kandji could lock down different ports on MacBooks based on which ones we wanted to shut down, and I hope there is an easier way to sandbox people's bring your own device devices because when we're doing SOC 2, it really wants us to sandbox things so that if someone were to take a device that is not ours, we could delete just our data off there and not theirs. An improvement needed for Kandji would be the ability to remote into devices. I would appreciate something that is really reliable for that without having to buy third-party software.

It has significantly increased the amount of work we can perform, but blocking devices could be easier.
It could be easier to put devices on the blocklist. I would like the ability to block a device with a click of a button. Currently, we have to sift through different groups to block a device. It would be nice if Scalefusion allowed me to block without moving the device to a different profile. Another helpful feature they could add is the ability to migrate from one MDM to another. I'd also appreciate more extensive cloud storage. They give you 1 GB by default, but sometimes that's not enough.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Intune reduces the load on our on-prem Active Directory by having everything go to one Intune panel, so we can configure group policies, deploy applications, and manage devices, and it has really improved our operations."
"Microsoft Intune brings all our endpoint and security management tools into one place, acting as a comprehensive solution where we can manage numerous devices and configuration profiles, and block specific URLs, among many other capabilities."
"The Microsoft Windows Autopilot and Defender policies are the most valuable features of this solution."
"The best features in Microsoft Intune that I appreciate most are its centralized features."
"ROI is very high at the end."
"I rate Intune 10 out of 10."
"The most valuable features in Microsoft Intune for me are application deployment, Defender deployment, and asset management."
"Intune is the best tool going forward because everyone is moving to the cloud."
"Kandji offers excellent features, including the ability to erase devices remotely without needing to be in front of the laptop."
"Kandji has positively impacted my organization because it was very easy to implement and manage all of our devices, especially when we manage with the ISO and SOC 2 certifications that we need for our organization."
"Kandji has positively impacted my organization because it is very user-friendly, and among the multiple MDM solutions I have used, such as JumpCloud and Intune, Kandji stands out as one of the best for Mac devices."
"Kandji has positively impacted my organization because many things happen through Kandji, especially on the laptops and desktops at the infrastructure workspace level."
"The customer support at Kandji is phenomenal and is the best I have experienced from any vendor."
"The customer support is the best I have ever seen."
"Kandji has positively impacted my organization by increasing our security, reducing our resolution times, and ensuring that all employees who work from home have their computers working from day one."
"Kandji has positively impacted our organization by making it easy to manage all of our MacBook devices and applications."
"Scalefusion is easy to use, and they have a broad knowledge base, so you can quickly find answers if you're unsure how to do something. The articles on the knowledge base are well-written, with clear steps on what to do for a specific scenario. That part is well documented."
"Scalefusion has significantly increased the amount of work we can perform and has made it much easier to achieve our goals efficiently by eliminating tedious work and cumbersome processes."
"Its enhanced support for iOS and Windows devices has been particularly beneficial, expanding our service offerings to customers with diverse device environments."
 

Cons

"Microsoft Intune is currently overpriced."
"Back in 2020, there were significant problems with report accuracy, particularly regarding web patching."
"I'd like to see an ability to deploy more ways of management, managing devices and processing the policies."
"There is room for improvement in Microsoft Intune's understanding and user experience as the interface is easy to navigate for deploying applications and finding user information, but I think there should be a reduction in dependency on on-premises infrastructure and focus on artificial intelligence and automation to improve further."
"The reports aren't complete, and it's not easy to build custom reports."
"Sometimes the syncing is inconsistent. I'm confident that the devices are checking in every eight hours, but sometimes the devices aren't picking up the settings as quickly as I would expect. Some features haven't been updated in a while, and Microsoft doesn't seem interested in developing them. Unless you talk to an engineer, you don't know whether there will be an update."
"Reporting could be improved. It needs to be more expensive and robust."
"One thing that could be better in Microsoft Intune is the file size, as it is quite large at times."
"One area for improvement for Kandji would be having a bigger suite of applications."
"One area for improvement for Kandji would be having a bigger suite of applications."
"There are certain limitations with blueprints where each machine can only have one or must have a blueprint, which is frustrating since certain machines may not need to have a blueprint straight away for testing."
"Kandji can definitely be improved by the complexity. I feel we cannot necessarily tweak the Blueprints in the ways that we need to or there are just complex one-off situations where we need more customization and more ability to run custom scripts."
"One way Kandji can be improved is through pricing, as other market providers comparatively have a lower price."
"I rated Kandji an eight because the laptop needs to be connected to Wi-Fi to erase it."
"In Kandji, I see a drawback related to the remote wipe function."
"While I do not have anything specific to add about the features, I do think there is a lack of flexibility in Kandji."
"It could be easier to put devices on the blocklist. I would like the ability to block a device with a click of a button."

I'd also appreciate more extensive cloud storage. They give you 1 GB by default, but sometimes that's not enough."
"One area for improvement could be streamlining permissions during initial device setup, especially for corporate-owned devices, to reduce manual user interaction and expedite deployment."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is very reasonable."
"Microsoft Intune is included in the E5 license at no additional cost."
"Its price is quite okay. I wish they provide certain additional features with the same license."
"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."
"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."
"I recently got to know that the AD P1 license is compulsory to use Intune Autopilot, which was surprising for me. Earlier, this was not the case. It is the wrong thing to do. We now need to purchase AD P1 licenses for us and for our customers. I would rate it a seven out of ten for pricing."
"The pricing is competitive, but it is not cheap."
"Microsoft's licensing is more flexible and adaptive than its competitors."
"Users have to pay a yearly licensing fee for Kandji, which is expensive."
