Everything has worked better since we started using it
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. There are communication issues, so you might start working with a feature without knowing if it will be deprecated six months from now. Some reporting areas still need development. For example, I noticed that the reporting for driver updates is still confusing.

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.
Patrick Hogeboom - PeerSpot reviewer
Comprehensive remote support simplifies customer integration
There is always room for improvement. Features like private DNS would be very useful if pushed through Knox Manage. We've raised this with Samsung, and it is on their roadmap. Also, there is an issue with the assignment of licenses where Knox Asset Intelligence and Knox Management sometimes deploy on different licenses. We've discussed this with Samsung for potential improvement.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I mainly use Microsoft Intune analytics for taking that data that exists and bringing it into Power BI dashboards to make it visible to our clients, showing them all the operating systems in their environment and where the latest patches are, and then from there creating plans."
"It's not working perfectly, but Microsoft's Autopilot offers great visibility into automated deployment solutions."
"Comparing this to having an endpoint management solution, the efficiency gain may be up to 80%."
"We can securely manage both company-owned devices and personal devices enrolled in our BYOD program."
"Intune's unified endpoint management platform is invaluable."
"The solution has significantly improved managing a diverse range of devices. We have observed enhancements across Android, iOS, and Windows devices."
"The solution is stable."
"The ability to push applications on devices is valuable. You do not have to manually install applications one by one. If you like to use ten different applications, you do not have to manually go and download them one by one. Intune can compile a package for you, and then you can just push them from the admin center."
"Can manage a large fleet of devices without any outside interference."
"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."
"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."
"Overall, I would rate the solution as a 10."
 

Cons

"It would be interesting to integrate the server side of Intune. Some group policy updates we have on the Windows Server side and possibly some on the client side could also be included."
"Microsoft needs to strategize its licensing structure. When using Microsoft Intune, we bought a small scale of controls, only controlling part of the devices, though Microsoft Intune can do much more. The Intune Suite offers more features, allowing extensive integration with either internal or cloud environments without requiring third-party licensing. However, each feature has a separate license, making logistics and cost management difficult if not strategically bundled together."
"While the ability to deploy applications at startup is reliable, the policy-based application deployment method has not reached the same level of consistency."
"I would like to see better integration with Microsoft."
"When we implemented Intune, it would have been helpful if Microsoft had provided some videos or data about Intune."
"The add-ons must be integrated into the solution."
"The installation could be improved to be simplified."
"Intune does not provide real-time visibility."
"Lacks a factory reset feature."
"Features like private DNS would be very useful if pushed through Knox Manage."
"Samsung Knox needs to expand customer features across all devices, not just Samsung devices."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The solution is cost-efficient."
"Microsoft licenses are costly."
"Microsoft Intune is expensive."
"Its price is in the medium range. It is acceptable because you're paying for the features. I am not aware of any additional costs."
"I have no comment on pricing of the solution."
"If you're ever going to buy an Office 365 environment, then pricing is reasonable given all that it does, but if you're not, then you might find the pricing expensive."
"The tool is cheaper than our company's other MDM tools."
