Everything has worked better since we started using it
Sometimes the syncing is inconsistent. I'm confident that the devices are checking in every eight hours, but sometimes the devices aren't picking up the settings as quickly as I would expect. Some features haven't been updated in a while, and Microsoft doesn't seem interested in developing them. Unless you talk to an engineer, you don't know whether there will be an update. There are communication issues, so you might start working with a feature without knowing if it will be deprecated six months from now. Some reporting areas still need development. For example, I noticed that the reporting for driver updates is still confusing.

Highly scalable development of cloud-native applications that offers an extensive range of tools and features, with significant learning curve and complex configurations
We use it for building cloud-native applications and APIs and it helps us effectively manage various aspects of our application It enables you to create applications that can start up more quickly than a standard Spring Boot application. It would be beneficial for the framework to become more…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is fully integrated with the Microsoft platform and the Autopilot feature, which is a unique feature."
"The overall user experience is quite nice. I have no complaints from end users regarding their devices enrolled in Intune."
"The most valuable features are the ones that make sure that the deployment is of a standard operating system and the Zero Touch deployment, which is very useful. This allows users to have an out of box experience."
"It is a very stable and scalable cloud-only solution."
"The best feature is that we don't need to worry about downtime. We don't need to worry about the network connections of our office or the virtual private network. Everything is being done through the internet. Using Intune Autopilot, we can configure and deploy everything to the devices."
"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."
"A great solution for anyone wanting a modern endpoint device management solution."
"We have not experienced any bugs or glitches with this solution."
"Spring Cloud integrates well."
"The solution's initial setup is straightforward. The deployment process took me around ten minutes to fifteen minutes."
"It offers excellent scalability."
 

Cons

"Customer service used to be better, but as we are nearing the end of the contract, the focus on investing in us as a customer has diminished. It is what one would expect in such a situation."
"I'm still playing around with it and haven't had any issues with the product yet, but support can definitely be improved."
"The solution can have some compliance problems in general and the end-point user can bypass easily the company policies in Intune."
"It needs certificate provisioning for S/MIME purposes."
"While Intune works perfectly well, the only potential downside is that the deployment could be a bit complex for some users."
"Its configuration is fairly complicated. You have to do quite a bit of discovery to be able to deploy it for a customer. You have to ask them a lot of questions. So, its initial deployment is the biggest challenge. They should make it easier to deploy with the use of Wizards or something else. During the deployment stage, there could be profiles for the customers who are particularly wanting to use certain feature sets of Intune."
"Microsoft Intune could improve by being more user-friendly and having it geared toward device management. The graphic interface is not very good."
"At the moment, we need more flexibility. We have some offices migrating to Windows 11 remotely. Sometimes, it is difficult to manage image installation because we have to collect some information before starting image deployment. Currently, Intune cannot collect the information needed for deploying new images."
"If there's a dashboard like the ones provided by Apigee or Kong, that will be useful."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Microsoft Intune's pricing is reasonable."
"There is a license needed to use the solution and we are on an annual license."
"It is cheap, but as compared to Google, it is costly. Google is cheaper, but quality-wise, Microsoft Intune is better."
"My team members bundled it together with their Microsoft solutions, including Microsoft 365 and related products."
"We don't get Intune as a separate module. Most of the time, we use it within an enterprise agreement like E3 or E5. Those licenses are at a good price, but what is annoying is that every single year they go higher."
"Intune is included in the Microsoft 365 licensing package that we have."
"Microsoft Intune is more expensive than other solutions, but it offers a wider range of features and control."
"The pricing is not cheap, especially with inflation. They've had to increase their prices. It's not excessive, but alright."
"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."
"Currently, we are not required to pay for licenses."
"Spring Cloud is an open-source solution."
