We performed a comparison between Microsoft Intune and Microsoft Purview Information Protection 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."One of the biggest advantages of Microsoft Intune is that it brings the management of Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and even Linux under a single pane of glass."
"Intune provides full visibility into all active mobile device users. If their devices are noncompliant with our security policies, I have the flexibility to update them remotely."
"The technical support of Microsoft Intune is good."
"The many policies available in Microsoft Intune for managing our devices are valuable."
"The main advantage is that Intune performs its intended functions effectively."
"The solution is stable."
"The features I found most valuable in Intune are its user visibility and troubleshooting options."
"Among the most valuable features are the Company Portal that is built into Intune, and the update rings so that we can manage what types of future updates the devices get."
"Before using it, we had a lot of unlabeled data, and the tool helped us quickly and accurately label a large number of documents."
"The UI is user-friendly, and I have observed that it improves further each year."
"We can restrict access or specify who can see sensitivity labels, which can be based on the classification level. We can encrypt restricted content and limit who can see that from an internal view, too, so Purview is a powerful tool."
"It ensures that sensitive data is automatically safeguarded, even for email attachments, regardless of the user or device."
"Incorporating data loss prevention capabilities built into the Microsoft platform to endpoints, such as Windows 10 and Windows 11 computers, can also help prevent data loss and is highly advantageous."
"It just doesn't handle software updates well at all by itself. You need to be a scripting wizard to make those happen properly, or you use third-party tools. The Windows feature updates are very difficult to implement. I would like to see a proprietary built-in remote control tool. I know that they have Team Viewer integrated, but it is not seamless. It would be nice if they had a seamless remote desktop capability directly from the Intune console."
"Onboarding of endpoint devices is not straightforward. The onboarding process was a little heavier than I thought it would be. That's the key improvement area. Obviously, the more control you have over the devices, the better it is."
"They could also make it easier to use because there are some other products that may be easier to use in terms of the look and feel of the dashboard."
"There are a couple of issues with stability."
"Data leak prevention can be integrated into it. Currently, it does not have data leak prevention."
"It would really be helpful to have the option to manage server operating systems as well, like Windows Server, at least. That way, we could scrap the use of SCCM, which requires a lot of on-premises infrastructure."
"The solution could be improved by the opportunity to connect third-party application databases, such as Chocolatey or another setup store, to Intune."
"Intune doesn't provide much control over Windows servers. It's something we struggle with."
"Microsoft Purview Information Protection can improve in terms of scan concurrency and scan processing time."
"Our primary concern is third-party application visibility. Many people choose other DLP tools, as they can search the Office 365 suite and detect sensitive information across thousands of other apps. The product is weak compared to the competitors on the DLP front, but the classification is good; the tool needs a bit more maturation."
"There is room for improvement with the policy tips feature."
"Microsoft can improve the affordability of Purview Information Protection by offering it at a lower cost."
"There is potential for more integration in the use of AI."
