BA
Great features with very good function management
Our customers are pretty happy with the product. It uploads files, creates a secure virtual compartment for corporate applications. If it's on-prem, you can use it with mobile phones or tablets that don't have access to the internet using intranet with wireless access points. That's a big plus for government institutions as it enables the management of a large fleet of devices without any outside interference. That is the most significant advantage.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Can manage a large fleet of devices without any outside interference."
"Autopilot is a great feature. Most users are looking for a zero-touch deployment."
"Its price is reasonable. It is a part of our M365 suite."
"The product has eased the deployment of Microsoft apps to the devices. We can manage it properly. We can control it and push the updates. Another company helped us with the deployment. However, we can do it internally."
"Intune provides full visibility into all active mobile device users. If their devices are noncompliant with our security policies, I have the flexibility to update them remotely."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is patching-related capabilities."
"I would rate Microsoft Intune a nine out of ten."
"The security-related tools are excellent; these features allow us to secure devices, lock them down, and ensure compliance."
"The automatic patching is the most valuable feature of Intune."
 

Cons

"Lacks a factory reset feature."
"It would be awesome if Microsoft opened their API so we could filter more properties. If we have to do anything outside of Intune that requires a third-party solution to talk back to it, we're very limited in what we can do. Trust your people. We promise not to break your stuff. Open it up just a tiny bit wider."
"Policy and app deployment should be faster, as it currently takes between minutes to hours to apply, with an average of one hour."
"Some customers have reported experiencing slowness when using lower versions of the Android system."
"Currently, BitLocker does not support BYOD enrollment, which is a product limitation."
"When we implemented Intune, it would have been helpful if Microsoft had provided some videos or data about Intune."
"In Microsoft Intune, there is significant slowness, and there needs to be more logs when we deploy software, parameters, or scripts to troubleshoot problems and errors in the interface, workstations, and Android devices."
"There's a significant discrepancy in Intune pricing between tenants."
"Cost is the biggest factor for us right now. Microsoft Intune and AD P1 together in a bundle is a good thing to have, but it is very costly compared to other products in the market. Otherwise, Microsoft Intune is the best."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing needs improvement."
"The price for Intune is fair."
"Its licensing model is not complex, but it is very expensive compared to other solutions. They can bring more models and reduce the pricing. They should allow customers to select the features they want and price it accordingly."
"There are licenses required for this solution. We enable licenses on the devices we need to manage."
"The pricing is not cheap, especially with inflation. They've had to increase their prices. It's not excessive, but alright."
"The product is expensive."
"It comes with the E5 plan. We bought the E5 plan from Microsoft."
"It is cheap, but as compared to Google, it is costly. Google is cheaper, but quality-wise, Microsoft Intune is better."
