Comparison Buyer's Guide

Executive Summary

Review summaries and opinions

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

ROI

Sentiment score
6.6
Microsoft Intune enhances efficiency and security, reducing costs and manpower by automating management, providing significant ROI and satisfaction.
Sentiment score
6.9
Rapid7 InsightVM is valued for preventing cyber attacks, offering cost savings, and providing a budget-friendly, effective management tool.
Everything we've gained from it makes my job easier day after day, and I see value in it as an engineer.
Importantly, when someone leaves the company, it helps protect document access on their devices.
Applications are deployed through Intune, and we see fewer tickets for common issues because we can resolve them through the solution.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
6.1
Microsoft Intune support is praised for quick responses and expertise, though standard support can vary in quality and speed.
Sentiment score
6.8
Rapid7 InsightVM customer service is praised for knowledge and quality but needs faster response times and 24/7 support availability.
When a support ticket is submitted, it directly reaches someone with Intune support expertise.
When I contacted Microsoft, they had the same expertise, if not more, which is phenomenal because I felt heard and my problem was solved.
Sometimes, the support provided is excellent, and the representative is knowledgeable, while other times, the service needs improvement.
Support is not available promptly, especially when issues are escalated to another region.
Sometimes support requests coincide with holidays in their support region, causing slight delays.
I cannot comment specifically regarding the support part because I have never needed Rapid7 support for the InsightVM solution as it is very stable.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
8.0
Microsoft Intune offers exceptional scalability, effectively managing numerous devices for businesses of all sizes without performance issues.
Sentiment score
7.7
Rapid7 InsightVM excels in scalability and flexibility for large environments, though report integration in expansive settings may challenge.
The scalability of Microsoft Intune is ten out of ten.
Ideally, we want to automatically segregate devices based on user properties like primary use, but currently, dynamic groups seem limited to device properties.
It supports organizations with 200 endpoints and those with more than 15,000 endpoints.
Scalability in the Rapid7 InsightVM solution is straightforward.
Rapid7 InsightVM is recommended for large-scale companies with more than 30,000 users.
According to the environment requirements, we can scale the solution as needed.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.4
Microsoft Intune is reliable with minimal downtime; occasional bugs exist but don't affect overall performance, earning positive stability ratings.
Sentiment score
8.1
Rapid7 InsightVM is highly stable and reliable, with minor update server issues and occasional memory or access challenges.
We have not experienced downtime, bugs, or glitches.
Microsoft Intune has been very stable.
A couple of years ago, the performance was not as good as it is now, but there are noticeable backend improvements.
We have not faced any issues with stability, and I would rate it a nine out of ten.
The stability of Rapid7 InsightVM is excellent.
There have been some challenges, especially with support response times, which affect stability.
 

Room For Improvement

Microsoft Intune needs improved reporting, support for macOS and non-Microsoft platforms, better UI, and advanced automation features.
InsightVM needs improved reporting, integration, scanning, and cloud capabilities, with efficient support and user-friendly features.
Features like unlocking devices sometimes fail, and the support offered for other operating systems is insufficient.
There are communication issues, so you might start working with a feature without knowing if it will be deprecated six months from now.
Many third-party companies offer single-pane-of-glass reporting that shows you what your update environment looks like, how your patch is doing, application status, etc., but Intune's reporting is not intuitive.
Having the ability to build our own audit file, similar to a feature in Tenable, would be beneficial.
The major improvement needed is prompt support.
The current process requires manually telling IT teams to remediate vulnerabilities, and then they update the status of these vulnerabilities in the platform.
 

Setup Cost

Microsoft Intune is competitively priced, especially in bundles, offering cost-effective device management for enterprises through flexible licensing.
Rapid7 InsightVM pricing is scalable based on assets, with costs from $30,000+, offering comprehensive features and flexible options.
Introductory professional services, like a fast-track service, were included with our E5 membership, and there have been no additional costs.
The Intune suite and add-ons, such as batch management and remote help, are costly.
It costs approximately forty euros per user per month.
Rapid7 InsightVM is expensive, possibly one of the highest in pricing among similar products.
Pricing is reasonable and competitive compared to other solutions in the market.
I would rate the pricing for Rapid7 InsightVM as eight out of ten.
 

Valuable Features

Microsoft Intune offers efficient device management, enhanced security, and streamlined IT tasks through its user-friendly, cloud-based platform.
Rapid7 InsightVM provides dynamic risk scoring, detailed reporting, and easy-to-use tools for effective vulnerability management and IT infrastructure security.
Intune excels in configuration and compliance management for Windows 10, ensuring devices receive timely updates and adhere to organizational standards.
Dynamic groups allow us to set conditions for automatic membership, eliminating the need for user intervention or manual review and ensuring a seamless workflow.
Windows Autopatch is the most valuable because it removes the burden of patch management.
It's based on the CVSS risk scoring system, which is well-recognized and effective.
We have integrated our SIEM solutions and antivirus with each other through Rapid7.
Customers are interested in this product as it helps heighten their cybersecurity posture.

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.
Anusha Sadasivani - PeerSpot reviewer
Rapid deployment and user-friendly architecture streamline vulnerability management but customer support response needs improvement
We are still using Rapid7 InsightVM I personally still use Rapid7 InsightVM. We use Rapid7 InsightVM for vulnerability scanning. It supports both agent-based and agentless scanning, which is part of our vulnerability management strategy. The agentless scan in Rapid7 InsightVM is effective and…
