"The most valuable feature of Intune is the central dashboard for compliance and policy management."
"There are so many features, but Windows Autopilot is one of the features that are very valuable for most customers."
"Easy to use."
"Intune is effective because of the configuration management and endpoint security it provides. The graphical interface makes it easier to configure and deploy devices."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the ability to manage all of our environments allowing us to have better functionality and high availability."
"My primary use case is for migration"
"The management of vCenter Configuration Manager can support the UI interface. It helps in monitoring, logging alert and performance, forecasting the system to provide services in the environment."
"This is the best solution for management for the server administrator. VMware has been on the market for many years, so they have a lot of solutions. For on-premises, VMware is the best available solution."
"This solution supports multiple platforms in a single solution."
"The solution is very easy to manage."
"The most valuable feature of vCenter Configuration Manager is the ease of provisioning."
"It is a very stable solution."
"Intune has some limitations when it comes to application updates for third-party applications. You can schedule an update, but when it's a package setup, you need to supercede and replace it each time."
"They can improve their MAM policies a little bit more and make them more granular. They should include more granular group policies. They are there, but they need to be more granular. Its stability should also be improved. It is not very stable. Sometimes, it shows some inconsistencies across tenants."
"The documentation about the custom image setup could be better. Although Microsoft provides the steps to configure Intune or set up or deploy Intune, it doesn't have much information related to custom images. If you ask, "how can we deploy the custom image?" There is no information. The steps they mention ask you to connect to your on-premises environment or create your own image on the cloud itself once there is connectivity. But I needed to go to multiple websites to get all this information. I had to figure out how to upload the custom image if you want to use the on-premise custom image for Cloud PC. If you have the proper subscription, you must have the right access, like global admin or owner. Then you can add your custom image to that. There are no steps mentioned over there. Microsoft Intune doesn't have Chrome browser support. I would like to have that support because they will want it if we pitch the product to clients."
"Data leak prevention can be integrated into it. Currently, it does not have data leak prevention."
"They need to integrate more with security options."
"Reporting could be improved. It needs to be more expensive and robust."
"The most important thing is reporting. They should improve their reporting. They should give a free hand to users. In SCCM, I can create my own reports. For example, in SCCM, I can create an inventory report for my PC or for all PCs, but in Intune, we don't have an option to create any report. Microsoft claims that Intune is a successor of SCCM, but SCCM is more powerful than Intune. So, they should develop Intune more and make it equivalent to SCCM. Then, their product will be great in the market."
"Intune has limited integration with non-Microsoft solutions."
"The cost of this solution should be improved."
"Many major industry players like VMware, Microsoft, and Oracle often fall short in software coding and the smooth release of new versions."
"Not very user friendly, too many configurations."
"It should be easier to use alternate storage."
"The product's high price is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"I would like there to be support for this solution in Iran."
"There isn't a clear document covering all the errors. It would be helpful if the company provided better documentation for solving issues."
"Error reporting should be more precise and descriptive, and there is no way to filter the logs. It would be helpful if its logs analysis can be more detailed, and the logs can be filtered."
