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.

User experience improves efficiency while awaiting improved application performance
The solution is meeting my requirements. I don't have any direct inputs here, except that stability of the application can be improved. Sometimes it gets hung or restarts multiple times in the background, which consumes battery life. If stability can be improved, it will generally help everyone. These solutions are usually a little expensive. If costs can come down, that will generally help the masses. A reduction of around 30-35% would make it more prompting for people to take that extra jump. Due to budget constraints, I have seen people not going for Microsoft Enterprise Mobility + Security because even if the commercials get discounted for the first year, subsequent years see significant price increases.

Consistently manages a large number of devices without downtime and offers quality support
In terms of areas where they could improve, if they provided solutions for every OEM, similar to what every other MDM platform is doing, that would be beneficial. For example, products such as InTune and MobileIron have no limitations. They support both iOS devices and Android devices. However, Samsung Knox specifically targets Samsung devices only. If they develop a solution that supports everything, along with the selling of devices and the product, they could achieve more business. Samsung Knox does not require any maintenance on my end.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The thing I appreciate most about Microsoft Intune is that the management of the devices was very simplified. We have all machines connected to it at all times, whether they are in the office or working from home."
"The synchronization of Intune with other Microsoft solutions is a valuable feature."
"...Intune itself integrates with that entire Microsoft ecosystem. As an individual product itself, it's okay. It holds up. But when you start saying "I've bought this as part of a wider solution, as a company we are going Microsoft throughout," then it makes more sense to have Microsoft Intune... so you have that single dashboard."
"It is a helpful tool to manage BYOD policies."
"The device profiling which uses the official Outlook email enabled us to control the screenshot feature and prevent copying outside of the organization's application."
"The solution has significantly improved managing a diverse range of devices. We have observed enhancements across Android, iOS, and Windows devices."
"Microsoft Intune has been a time saver and reduces the time and effort IT admins have to invest."
"It is a comprehensive security solution that not only controls access to enterprise resources but also tracks and prevents unauthorized access, ensuring the protection of sensitive data and preventing potential data loss scenarios."
"Microsoft Enterprise Mobility + Security is a basic part of all of our projects because it's a very important basis for any customer wanting to set up Microsoft technology, as they need to manage all users and devices on a security basis."
"Integration between our departments has been the most valuable."
"The product is centralized and we can use it for security purposes."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I am very happy with it currently."
"Overall, I would rate the solution as a 10."
"Samsung Knox has very seamless integration capabilities for deployment; we easily upload devices through the KME, Samsung Knox Mobile Enrollment."
"Based on my experience and understanding, Samsung Knox is quite good, user-friendly, and top-notch."
"Samsung Knox has good support for data protection, especially when using devices for profile installations, firmware updates, or configuration suites, as they are all data protected with a double layer of protection using our own MDM server alongside Samsung Knox services."
"One portal for all the features and the remote support capability in Samsung Knox is highly valued. The enterprise editions and the free Knox Suite licenses for one year are also beneficial."
"Samsung Knox is doing excellent work with its current offerings."
"It's a very good product that any organization can use to help manage their devices."
"Samsung Knox is essential because you can centrally manage all your devices, including Android devices, iPhones, and Windows devices, in one platform at an affordable price, improving your security with GPOs and different policies, which is crucial in these times when we need to secure all communications, software, and various components against hackers."
 

Cons

"Enrollment into the Microsoft Intune service can still get easier, especially for legacy-managed systems, such as how we get it from a GPO or an SCCM configuration into Intune."
"We only have major classifications for iOS and Android, but there are different brands that have different cycles of updates. If they can fine-tune it to make it more brand-specific, that would be even better."
"Microsoft Intune's app deployment presents challenges for non-MSI and non-store apps, particularly EXEs, requiring the use of a Win32 wrapper tool and adding overhead to the process."
"When we implemented Intune, it would have been helpful if Microsoft had provided some videos or data about Intune."
"The way the apps are getting deployed, the checkboxes for deleting previous versions are actually creating more conflicts than fixing problems."
"There is room for improvement in integration and security as well."
"They should make it easier to order it, however, that's generally true for everything from Microsoft."
"Reporting and troubleshooting for the application deployment could be better. It's very difficult to understand."
"Microsoft's feature management is based on licenses. Microsoft follows ethical licensing and hence do not restrict the use of it."
"The licensing can be messy at times."
"The technical support from Microsoft could be better."
"Its performance needs enhancement."
"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 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."
"Features like private DNS would be very useful if pushed through Knox Manage."
"The main drawback is that they need to expand this product beyond Samsung devices to include every device."
"We faced multiple issues when pushing configuration profiles and policies through Samsung Knox. The students were cracking the entire system."
"Samsung Knox needs to expand customer features across all devices, not just Samsung devices."
"The main drawback is that they need to expand this product beyond Samsung devices to include every device."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For organizations that are a Microsoft shop, the pricing is compelling."
"There is a license needed to use the solution and we are on an annual license."
"We have a limited budget for security investments, so Microsoft should consider reducing pricing in our region. This would make investment more viable, especially since larger businesses in other countries can afford it easily."
"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."
"Based on the features that it gives, it is cost-efficient. It is not necessarily on the expensive side of the scale. It provides a hefty number of features that any organization would want. It is in a good price range."
"Intune is available as an individual product, but it also comes with Office 365 Premium or an Enterprise license, and the price varies for each version."
"This cost is approximately $30 USD per user per month."
"On a scale of one to ten with one being the cheapest, the cost of Microsoft Intune is a five."
"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."
"We have to pay 10 dollars per user. I would rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten."
"The solution is cost-effective."
"I would rate pricing at eight out of ten. It is a bit higher because of the security features that Microsoft provides."
