"I can see that the patch management process is much improved with the bundled patch management option available in Microsoft Intune compared to the KPI deployment required by the other deployment solutions.""There has been a noticeable increase in productivity for both my organization and clients.""It supports end-users who tend to lock their devices quite frequently. Its conditional access policy helps us keep the users logged into their devices.""The most valuable feature for us is the security, including risk analysis and patch management.""We have one MDM that works with Windows, iOS, and Android.""The many policies available in Microsoft Intune for managing our devices are valuable.""Fortunately, now everything is streamlined into a single, unified platform.""The solution is easy to use."

Cons

"It should be easier to define policies and comply with those policies.""It doesn't economize when you scale up. We have over 14,000 employees, and we have between 7,500 and 8,000 city-owned or personal devices being used to conduct city business. Its price can be improved. It is not a cheap solution.""Microsoft Intune fails a lot when it comes to device compliance.""It's only good for a Microsoft environment.""Technical support is not that great.""Intune's third-party patch management could be better. It should be easier for the average system admin to keep non-Microsoft applications updated.""Microsoft Intune has a latency response time issue. The latency has room for improvement.""One area for improvement is app deployment. Another is the Windows update rollout. If you're rolling out an object to a device that's offline, Intune stops trying to reach this device after it sits idle for a bit. We are forced to find a workaround that could help manage that."

    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."
