Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The product is useful when the end user downloads malware files.""The product's anti-spam and malware-scanning features are useful. We scan email attachments, documents, and malicious codes.""The tool can proactively detect potential incidents.""I rate the tool's stability a ten out of ten.""It is very scalable. There are approximately 2,000 endpoints and up to 200 servers in our company.""The technical support services are excellent.""The product’s most valuable feature is the ability to provide threat detection and protection simultaneously.""Microsoft collects trillions of signals from all over the world, which is incredibly valuable. It helps us identify zero-day vulnerabilities and global threats."

More Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence Pros →

"It has improve our organization through the remote management of non-domain joined devices.""We are a remote company, and the product helps us manage the global endpoints. It helps us natively manage the endpoints in the cloud from anywhere.""Configuration profiles, remediation, scripts, and auto-pilot features are very good.""The initial setup is not complex.""It's easy to manage.""The features I found most valuable in Intune are its user visibility and troubleshooting options.""The ability to manage devices with different sets of policies is most valuable.""I would say the biggest benefit is the single-pane view. There's no jumping around multiple UI's to do your overall management."

More Microsoft Intune Pros →

Cons
"I would like to see more integration with other solutions. For example, integration well with Microsoft but not with other solutions.""Microsoft itself is a major target for attacks and threats due to its size and popularity. That could be considered Microsoft's Achilles heel.""Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence is evolving and needs to fix and enhance numerous issues like stability and licensing. The continuous rebranding and licensing changes are confusing.""The price point is something they can improve slightly for those who don't have an M 365 E5.""I would like to see more AI features and capabilities.""One area where Microsoft Defender could be improved is in its support for non-Microsoft products, particularly for systems running Linux or other open-source platforms across ecosystems.""The price could be improved.""The price of the solution is an area of concern where improvements are required. In general, the solution's price needs to be reduced."

More Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence Cons →

"Once it's configured it is unobtrusive, but it does take some hands-on to configure and deploy it properly.""I'd suggest adding more features for macOS in Intune. There should be more functionality for managing macOS. There should be a better capability for pushing things down on macOS. Currently, Intune is not capable of managing macOS at the same level as Windows.""I expect Microsoft Intune to have more features in the cloud because there are two major functionalities that we need to be added. This is software metering and license management. These functionalities, for now, must be on-premise. For this purpose, we have set up a SQL Server and I hope that in near future this option will be in the cloud in Microsoft Intune.""More integration with monitoring tools is needed.""There is improvement needed in integrating with the installed Office solutions versions, such as Office 2019. The Office 365 integrates without a problem.""Reporting and troubleshooting for the application deployment could be better. It's very difficult to understand.""Technical support is not that great.""Could benefit from user having more control over devices."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Considering Microsoft is constantly changing licensing, I would give it a seven out of ten. It can be difficult to get your head around it, especially for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)."
  • "They offer two license plans: Microsoft Defender for endpoints and Microsoft Defender for businesses."
  • "The product’s pricing is worth it."
  • "The solution can be licensed, but most users would already have it in their Office 365 license."

  • "The tool is expensive as a stand-alone solution. However, it is not cheap when you purchase it as a bundle."
  • "I rate the product's price a six or seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is expensive, and ten is cheap."
  • "I use the product's default version, which is a free one and not the licensed version."
  • More Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence Pricing and Cost Advice →

    Reviews from Real Users

    Microsoft Intune stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Two major ones are its ability to secure all devices under its management and the flexibility that the solution offers its users.

    A computing services manager notes, "Its security is most valuable. It gives us a way to secure devices, not only those that are steady. We do have a few tablets and other devices, and it is a way for us to secure these devices and manage them. We know they're out there and what's their status. We can manage their life cycle and verify that they're updated properly."

    The head of IT engineering at a financial services company writes, "The one feature we find most useful is the Mobile Application Manager. There are two types: we have the complete MDM and the Mobile Application Manager (MAM). We don't give our users phones, it is their own personal phone, and we need to allow them to have access to the company details on their phone. We need to create a balance between their own personal data and the company data. We deploy the Mobile Application Manager for them so that we won't be able to interfere with their own personal data."
