Centralized device management has automated onboarding and improves remote security compliance
One thing I feel Microsoft Intune could improve is troubleshooting visibility. In many cases, when a policy or application deployment fails, the error messages are a bit generic. So, admins still spend time checking logs manually or testing on devices one by one. Compared to the simplicity of deployment, troubleshooting sometimes feels less mature. I also think reporting and real-time monitoring could be stronger. The dashboard gives useful information, but in large environments, many teams still depend on additional tools or scripts for deeper reporting and analytics. If I had to focus on one area first, I would probably choose troubleshooting and reporting. Deployment through Microsoft Intune is generally straightforward, but when something fails, identifying the exact root cause can still take more time than expected. Error messages are sometimes too generic, and admins often have to dig through logs, sync status, or multiple portals to understand what actually happened. I think user experience and policy management could also improve further. Microsoft Intune has become much better over the years, but sometimes the admin portal still feels fragmented because certain configurations open in different sections or redirect to older interfaces. For new admins, especially, it can take time to understand where everything is located. Another thing is policy conflict handling. In larger organizations, multiple device policies, compliance rules, and configuration profiles can overlap. When conflicts happen, the visibility is not always very clear, so admins spend time figuring out which policy actually won or caused the issue.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I would rate the stability of Microsoft Intune nine out of ten."
"It's easy to manage and easy to configure."
"Microsoft Intune policies, remote wipe, and using corporate and private profiles are valuable features, but MFA is the most valuable feature as it ensures that the end user is authentic."
"The system itself is great."
"Intune is a very good cloud solution for managing devices."
"Intune is the best tool going forward because everyone is moving to the cloud."
"Microsoft Intune is a tool designed for enterprise customers to protect enterprise data from leakage or sharing."
"Microsoft Intune helps secure hybrid work by allowing organizations to manage and secure devices remotely."
"Spring Cloud integrates well, and as it's code-based, you can do more customization, so with the way you configure or code, you can have your custom implementations, making it the best integration option if you have Java Spring Web Services."
"Spring Cloud integrates well."
"It offers excellent scalability."
"The solution's initial setup is straightforward. The deployment process took me around ten minutes to fifteen minutes."
 

Cons

"I'd suggest adding more features for macOS in Intune. There should be more functionality for managing macOS. There should be a better capability for pushing things down on macOS. Currently, Intune is not capable of managing macOS at the same level as Windows."
"It needs certificate provisioning for S/MIME purposes."
"My experience with them was very bad. They don't know about their own product."
"The UI is not user-friendly and has room for improvement."
"Certificate management within Microsoft Intune's Suite is still under development. It's not very reliable compared to other certificate tools, though it has made good progress within a couple of years."
"The reporting and troubleshooting experience for Microsoft Intune could be more detailed and easier to navigate, especially when diagnosing policy sync or device compliance issues across large environments."
"The interface can be a bit complex to set up initially, so a simpler interface would really help."
"There are differences in protecting the data on a mobile device and on iOS. When you protect the data on iOS, you protect the entire device."
"Stability is one area in the solution that needs to improve."
"It would be beneficial for the framework to become more lightweight and efficient when transitioning to the cloud."
"If there's a dashboard like the ones provided by Apigee or Kong, that will be useful."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The E5 license is expensive."
"Microsoft Intune is a cost effective choice. It is less expensive than other products on the market."
"We work with the subscription rather than a server license. I think it's economical this way because we don't have to have a server license for that, and I think that works in our favor."
"Intune is linked with Microsoft. We can deploy the Microsoft E365 license to users by Intune. There are different types of licenses, such as device administrator licenses, E5 licenses for device enrollment manually, and P1 and p2 licenses for device enrollment automatically. These are the licenses required for the administration."
"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."
"Microsoft Intune is available for individual purchase at a low per-device cost."
"We work in the charity sector, so a lot of our clients get Microsoft Premium licenses or Business Premium for free. They get ten licenses free, and a lot of our clients do not have more than ten staff members. They are getting the tool for free, so its cost is not an issue."
"The product is expensive."
"It is an open-source or free version solution. It also has a paid version, but we have used the open-source version for now."
"Spring Cloud is an open-source solution."
"Currently, we are not required to pay for licenses."
