Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, VMware, ManageEngine and others in UEM (Unified Endpoint Management)."I like that it's very good and very simple. I found that we just needed to have a proper subscription for an Intune tenant, and from the subscription, if we have the right role assigned, like the global admin role or the owner role, we can use Microsoft cloud resources. With the help of that, we can do many things like setting up Microsoft Intune in the cloud to create our virtual machines. All these can be done, and the steps are very simple. I really liked it. I like features like Windows Auto-Enrollment. I like it very much because whenever you supply it to the end-user, it will be ready to use immediately. The end-user only needs to provide the user credentials, and then they are good to go. I also really like Cloud PC, which was recently launched on Azure."
"The conditional access policies that we set up are very useful."
"We are a remote company, and the product helps us manage the global endpoints. It helps us natively manage the endpoints in the cloud from anywhere."
"Autopilot is the most valuable feature."
"We have not experienced any bugs or glitches with this solution."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The security-related tools are excellent; these features allow us to secure devices, lock them down, and ensure compliance."
"It works well if you have a Microsoft environment."
"It has a wide range of MFA options. I prefer "Okta Verify" out of them all."
"We face no challenges in integrating the product with our legacy systems."
"The most valuable features are ease of operation and visibility."
"This solution has a lot of capabilities and features."
"The most valuable feature in Okta Workforce Identity is the single sign-on, universal directory, and lifecycle management."
"The MFA part is the best. MFA provided most of the security that we were looking at with respect to the second level of authentication. Okta Workforce Identity provides a number of options with respect to multifactor authentication, such as the app, phone call, and text. These options provide different ways of logging in for users, and they were a lot more than what we needed. This is certainly a very good feature of Okta Workforce Identity."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable features depend on a customer's needs. Our customers generally find multi-factor authentication very useful."
"Microsoft Intune has a latency response time issue. The latency has room for improvement."
"The reporting needs to be a bit more interactive."
"What would make this product better is adding more security policies and features in the next upgrade."
"Cost is the biggest factor for us right now. Microsoft Intune and AD P1 together in a bundle is a good thing to have, but it is very costly compared to other products in the market. Otherwise, Microsoft Intune is the best."
"I wanted to check if there is any provision at the Intune level to restrict certain things, such as a website, but unfortunately, that feature is available only in Microsoft Defender. Intune has web filtering capabilities, but they are only useful for protection from malicious websites, whereas we would like to be able to restrict a website. For example, YouTube is a clean website. No one would identify it as a malicious website, but if we want to stop the end-users from going to that website, we have to go for another product, such as Microsoft Defender or another third-party proxy solution. It would be great if this capability is included in Intune."
"It would help if administrators could pinpoint the exact location of a stolen device to help law enforcement retrieve it and apprehend the suspect."
"The scalability could be improved, and like most other MDM products, Intune is good but not 100% there yet."
"There are a few security features that are not available in Microsoft Intune, when compared to other products."
"Okta Workforce Identity could improve provisioning it can be made simpler."
"The only aspect in which it can be improved is that the interface could be cleaner. I found this even when I was trying to do my certification exam because the certification is hands-on. You find yourself fumbling around a little bit to find simple things. This happens even when you start to get familiar with the product."
"Application updates are lacking. Customer support needs to be improved."
"The training is too costly."
"The lifecycle management part can be improved. It should also have identity governance and the ability to choose a specific factor authentication at the application level. Its licensing and pricing can also be improved."
"The integration with third-party tools needs to be improved."
"It is challenging to obtain a comprehensive backup."
"UD attribute mapping, Okta group rules, and dynamic usage could use improvement. It also needs more in-depth functionality and features to integrate with RADIUS solutions."
