Streamlines operations and reduces administrative overhead and attack surface
Microsoft Intune is helping to streamline operations and minimize administrative overhead. We are using the Enterprise Application Management features of Intune Suite. It is very well designed and very well suited for Microsoft-related applications. Third-party applications can require some workaround. They do not always organically fit into the solution, but, overall, it is a great option to have visibility into what the users are using and be able to set up some policies based on that. We can allow applications or deny applications. We can manage what users can onboard. Overall, it is a great solution. We can definitely simplify and streamline some security operations. Microsoft Intune is great for securing hybrid work and protecting data on company and BYO devices. What is more important is that it is not a static product. It is not that the product is very well established and not moving anywhere. It is constantly evolving. Microsoft seems to be spending lots of resources trying to improve and bring new features. That is great. We are starting with Intune's Endpoint Privilege Management feature. It definitely impacts productivity. It is great and definitely helps a lot. It helps minimize the attack surface because you do not have elevated privileges accounts available all the time. It helps mitigate or shrink the potential impact or potential entry points into the network. Microsoft Intune has helped us to manage the accounts with elevated privileges. We are a managed service provider. We sometimes have big turnarounds on the help desk. By their job definition, many of them are supposed to have access to different clients and different sensitive areas. It helps us to mitigate and manage these accounts, and, as a result, to be more secure. We can make sure that those accounts are not being distributed very freely. We have control over their actions. We have control over what they are doing. We have full visibility and accountability.

Seamless integration and easy implementation
Microsoft licensing has always been tricky. There have been several changes in the last quarter, such as the addition of a new SKU on top of the existing ones. The licensing can be messy at times. Apart from that, it's fine. One area where Microsoft lacks is network-level protection. Currently, it focuses on endpoint protection. However, with the shift to remote work, network-level protection has become less relevant since users take their devices home, and there is no physical boundary after COVID. So, investing in network equipment might not be as useful as protecting endpoints with features like EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) and behavioral monitoring. That would probably be helpful.

Manage certifications and reduce the workload for certification processes
The benefit of using SailPoint IdentityIQ is that it significantly reduces the workload for certification processes. Before implementing IdentityIQ, the corporation relied heavily on manual methods to gather accounts and permissions for review. Each host machine had to be checked manually to ensure account collection accuracy, followed by manually identifying accounts for certification. This entire process was labor-intensive, with human involvement at every step. It took about a month to gather notification data and initiate the certification process. Tracking the status of certifications was challenging since it was managed through Excel, making it difficult to determine completion percentages. Once all certifications were completed, SailPoint shifted through Excel sheets to finalize reports. With IdentityIQ, the process is streamlined, reducing the time required for certification, and it also has an automated aggregation of accounts, assets, and groups. There's no opportunity for human error or intentional concealment of accounts, enhancing security.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"There is a single pane of glass for user access and a single sign-on facility for the user. If you have already logged in to Microsoft Azure or on-premises, you can redirect directly to Microsoft Endpoint Manager, monitor all your security threats, and analyze the data associated with the application in a single, unified way."
"The most valuable feature of Intune is the central dashboard for compliance and policy management."
"The solution is stable."
"Microsoft's cloud comes with a lot of extra features that are free of charge."
"Stable solution at a good price."
"The security-related tools are excellent; these features allow us to secure devices, lock them down, and ensure compliance."
"The most valuable feature is probably mobile device management. Small businesses are coming under greater scrutiny and requirements for compliance as time goes on. We don't have to worry about a VPN because we can manage these devices, control company data, and lock users out. If needed, we can remotely wipe devices and deadman-switch them."
"It's not working perfectly, but Microsoft's Autopilot offers great visibility into automated deployment solutions."
"Integration between our departments has been the most valuable."
"The solution is very good at securing files. For example, if I forward a secure document, it's blocked from others, as I can send it with restrictions in relation to who can open it."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The product is centralized and we can use it for security purposes."
"The product is a unified solution and you don't require to purchase tools from different vendors. The system analyzes behavior and activity and takes steps for protection."
"Microsoft Mobility and EMS include Intune for Mobility, which provides mobile device management and mobile application management. With mobile device management, you can control the entire device in an organization."
"A good feature that is present is MAM or Mobile Application Management. We can deploy this feature on the device, which is not managed by the organization. If I apply some security configuration on a personal device, the user would be really disappointed. What we do instead is that we give all access to the applications related to corporate and ask the users to use the application. We secure the application by putting the security features on the applications and not on the users' devices. This way, the users are happy, and we also meet our company's compliance standards. Then, everyone is happy."
"The solution offers excellent documentation that is easily available online."
"The compliance features are the most valuable features."
"I like IdentityIQ's granular attachment management and certification customization features."
"This solution has improved our organization through its ease of application onboarding, approvals, provisioning, and lifecycle UI performance."
"The tool's GUI is user-friendly."
"Provides functionalities for various stages, such as joiner, mover, and leaver"
"The basic concept is most valuable. I like how they have designed the solution. They create an Identity Cube, and then they do all the processes and configuration around the Identity Cube."
"The solution is pretty stable and simple to use."
"Certifications and user provisioning features are the most valuable."
 

Cons

"When Microsoft Intune is used with different android devices it does not always work as it is supposed to."
"There needs to be more support for Mac operating systems."
"The UI also needs improvements because it is complex for end-users. We have had feedback from a few users in our organization who found the UI is not feasible for tracking and analyzing all the processes and monitoring all the devices."
"In future releases, I would like to see better integration with Apple products."
"Due to the abundance of features, there's a lot to organize, which makes managing and setting up the solution challenging. The setup is immense, and it would be good to see improvement in this area."
"The solution could improve by having better integration with Apple."
"They need to integrate more with security options."
"The policies we had in SCCM and AD offered features that are missing from Microsoft Intune."
"The auditing and reporting could be updated and upgraded. I would like to see light applications because they consume a lot of the device's memory at present."
"The MDM part of the engine could be better."
"We did the deployment with the help of Microsoft's consultants. But sometimes, we found it difficult to educate the application developers to integrate."
"Its performance needs enhancement."
"Microsoft Enterprise Mobility + Security is expensive."
"Microsoft's feature management is based on licenses. Microsoft follows ethical licensing and hence do not restrict the use of it."
"There are certain shortcomings in the licensing model of the product where improvements are required."
"Technical support could be improved. Sometimes they use a third party that's not so knowledgeable in the product and that can slow down things a bit."
"The UI needs to be more user friendly. More concentration on historical policy violations would be great. In terms of new features, I would like to see artificial intelligence and machine language added."
"Certifications could include additional access levels or practices."
"One needs to understand that SailPoint is into full-fledged IAM practice with a long-term vision, and customers will get a quick ROI with best practices implementation."
"The product must improve its support."
"The price of IdentityIQ could be lower. There are additional costs when you buy the licenses, and they force the customers to pay for them."
"Additional details during account aggregation failures to help quick troubleshooting."
"The solution, in general, is quite expensive."
"Competitors are advancing by offering integrated solutions encompassing access and privileged access management in a single unified platform. IdentityIQ's focus has remained primarily on identity and access governance, neglecting to expand its offerings to include these additional functionalities within its existing product. Enhancing their product by incorporating modules for access management, privileged access management, and third-party access governance could address this gap."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Previously the price was $4 per month per user. Now it's $2.25 per user per month."
"We don't get Intune as a separate module. Most of the time, we use it within an enterprise agreement like E3 or E5. Those licenses are at a good price, but what is annoying is that every single year they go higher."
"Intune comes with the licensing that is common for large organizations. However, Microsoft has recently released many add-ons that are very expensive, especially for large organizations or corporations."
"The pricing is competitive, but it is not cheap."
"Microsoft Intune has a user-based subscription model. You can go for a monthly or a yearly payment."
"There is a license required to use the solution. If you're core users in Office 365, for example, you have Outlook email and E3 license, this is only email. You have to buy an EMS license to have Microsoft Intune. It is expensive."
"Generally, we get favorable discounts, so it's not too bad. Obviously, we're looking at decreasing those wherever we can to bring value back to the public purse because it's all charity based. It's all publicly funded."
"I am not that aware of the pricing, but as compared to other MDM solutions, Microsoft is providing a lot of things at the organizational level. So, it is quite reasonable as compared to other MDM solutions."
"I would rate pricing at eight out of ten. It is a bit higher because of the security features that Microsoft provides."
"The solution is cost-effective."
"We have to pay 10 dollars per user. I would rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten."
"The increase in the prices of the product might not be the actual problem, but things become complex with some new plans that were introduced by Microsoft recently."
"This is an expensive solution. I would rate it a two and a half out of five for pricing."
"I rate the solution a seven on a scale where one is cheap and ten is too expensive. In short, the solution falls under the higher side of pricing."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ is highly-priced, and I rate it an eight out of ten for pricing."
"Usually, the cost of deploying about 5,000 licenses or 5,000 users, would be the equivalent to the cost of the license, which would be reaching up to around $90,000."
"It is a costly solution. Its cost, for sure, should be reduced."
"The licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
"You are able to get discounts if you plan to use the tool for the long-term i.e. discounts for 5+ years of usage."
"It's all competitive. Initially, the prices look a bit higher, but once it gets into a competitive situation, they meet the market. I'd rate it an eight out of ten in terms of pricing. It tends to be more expensive, but it works."
