Featured Reviews

Sanjay Mukhopadhyay - PeerSpot reviewer
It is a complete and competitive solution with excellent OEM support
Matrix42 is a complete solution in terms of functionality. Still, you need to understand whether it's also capable of managing Kubernetes containers to that extent, and this is not very clear in the product fact sheet. It’s possible with Ivanti MobileIron, though, and Matrix42 seems to be one step behind in this aspect. Likewise, in terms of integration, there is still room for improvement in Matrix42 to integrate with more third-party tools compared to Ivanti, which has a larger number of integrations due to its size. MobileIron is an older product that has evolved over time, offering advantages in terms of readily available third-party APIs and integrations.

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

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the ability to assign a package to a user on a system If you have your software packages set up via SCCM. It automates the process, which is very convenient, especially since most of our people are remote. Additionally, the overall functionality is good."
"Matrix42 Enterprise Mobility Management offers on-premises deployment."
"It is a stable solution."
"In terms of technical support, you will get an immediate response."
"Technical support, in general, has been quite helpful."
"Microsoft Intune simplifies device management by replacing the traditional method of installing OS, joining a domain, and configuring everything manually."
"Intune is valuable for managing various endpoints and integrating with the Azure cloud, which is essential for our organization."
"It is very easy for me to configure all the things. Once I create policies and applications in Intune, it is very easy for us to enroll users."
"Autopilot is the most valuable feature."
"It is a helpful tool to manage BYOD policies."
 

Cons

"In terms of integration, there is still room for improvement in Matrix42."
"Matrix42 Enterprise Mobility Management could improve the user interface, it is not very intuitive."
"For autopilot, there should be more granularity on the settings that they offer at this stage."
"Intune's third-party patch management could be better. It should be easier for the average system admin to keep non-Microsoft applications updated."
"There could be more wizard-driven policy development or creation. Some of the policies can get quite complex. If they have a wizard that assists the administrators in creating the policy, that will be a great job."
"There should be more focus on mobile device security and integration."
"What would make this product better is adding more security policies and features in the next upgrade."
"Intune doesn't provide much control over Windows servers. It's something we struggle with."
"I would like to see Intune improve its handling of hybrid domain joins."
"I think there should be a better tracking of the cell phones used on the Intune."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am not sure the price of this solution but I would imagine it is fairly expensive because of the complexity, you would not use it in a small company."
"Matrix42 is more affordable than Ivanti."
"Microsoft Intune is available for individual purchase at a low per-device cost."
"The price of Intune is included with the license for Office 365, so we don't have to pay anything extra for it."
"Any bundle package, such as Security E3, covers multiple things, such as AAP, BitLocker, etc. If you go for them individually, they would be more expensive. Bundling makes the price more attractive and competitive."
"The price could be better."
"I am satisfied with the pricing."
"The price of Microsoft Intune is reasonable."
"Microsoft Intune has a user-based subscription model. You can go for a monthly or a yearly payment."
"Intune's pricing is reasonable considering its benefits and the high costs it helps avoid."
