We performed a comparison between Microsoft Intune and Microsoft Purview based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Microsoft Security Suite solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The biggest benefits of Intune are the ability to push changes and the added security. When we moved forward with Defender, we onboarded all those machines automatically. That helps dramatically. For a while, we were left with machines that weren't protected. We could see where people had done things they shouldn't have done, and Defender saved our skins a few times. It didn't happen a lot, but it happened enough that it made us glad we made that decision."
"Great for software update needs, operating system version updates, and security policy enforcement."
"Autopilot is the most valuable feature."
"Internet-based access with security is what I have found to be most valuable. It is also a stable and scalable solution."
"I can reach devices or computers over the internet. I don't need to worry about the network connectivity between the offices. I can manage any device. That is the most important part."
"We are using the mobile feature, and we are also using MDM to lock the devices, to push restrictions, et cetera"
"Intune's unified endpoint management platform is invaluable."
"...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."
"I don't know if I've gotten much value out of Purview personally, but our security team loves it. Our biggest concern is leakage or theft of our data because we have a lot of PII and stuff that has not been released. We like the insights Purview provides and the way the solution can track and manage things. I'd say that was probably their favorite piece of it so far. From everything the security team has told me, the policy management and DLP features are working spectacularly."
"The e-discovery search is useful."
"Microsoft Purview's most valuable feature is its ability to identify content across a number of prescribed regulatory frameworks, including Microsoft, GDPR, PII, and UCC Financial."
"The time to onboard is pretty short."
"Data segregation is the most valuable feature."
"It is very easy to learn the interface, and it is very user-friendly."
"The most significant value lies in its seamless integration into the Azure ecosystem, automating various processes and reducing operational burdens."
"Data authentication enables us to classify documents based on whether they should be restricted for internal consumption or permitted for external sharing."
"There is room for improvement, particularly in terms of compatibility, extending beyond the well-known major brands."
"The pricing could be improved."
"It would be nice to have a location tracker for the mobile device management tool. I'm not sure if it exists but hasn't been configured or if it's missing, but we've been unable to utilize the location features."
"It would be helpful if there was proactive remediation."
"We need the capabilities of the Cloud Management Gateway (CMG) to be enhanced through Intune instead of Azure."
"There should be more focus on mobile device security and integration."
"The reports aren't complete, and it's not easy to build custom reports. For example, Windows Autopilot isn't working well in cases where the computers don't have a good internet connection. Then the option is not good enough."
"In the past, I raised some tickets for the enhancement feature, which was missing in Intune."
"The API needs some improvement when connecting to non-Microsoft API sources. This is a limiting factor."
"As Microsoft Purview got a little more mature, the deployments got a little more complex, as we were kind of seeing that there are a lot of ways, like there were a hundred ways to do one thing or less."
"The technical support has room for improvement."
"Reflecting organizational changes within Purview is impractical."
"Enhancing the tool's capability to connect to multiple sources would be valuable."
"One area for improvement is the detection of data types. This is really important. It has some of that functionality, but I consider it very limited. Maybe they can add some custom programming or machine learning could be particularly useful for the detection of the nature of the data."
"The product must provide better integrations with OS X and iOS."
"The current event-based retention management is very poor."
