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.

Easy to deploy, but scalability needs improvement
There are no specific challenges I faced while using the product. I haven't used the solution to support any AI-driven projects. In our company, we need to have remote access to our labs because if not, people have to move to the laboratory, and we will spend a lot of time working. I don't know the features of VNC Connect that improved our company's support capabilities. I rate the tool a six out of ten.

"Microsoft Intune is very stable due to its cloud-based infrastructure and its reliability in performance."
"I particularly appreciate the administration and security features, which can be deployed easily."
"The device profiling which uses the official Outlook email enabled us to control the screenshot feature and prevent copying outside of the organization's application."

Cons

"Microsoft Intune is not user-friendly to manage and has room for improvement."
"The technical support by Microsoft is not so good. We have to manage many things by ourselves and do not receive responses in a timely manner."
"The way the apps are getting deployed, the checkboxes for deleting previous versions are actually creating more conflicts than fixing problems."
"Intune has all the features enabled for Windows devices but needs to be improved on iOS and Apple devices."
"I have experienced downtime, bugs, and glitches. I rate it a seven because when we have bugs or instability in Microsoft Intune, we need to wait for the backend from Microsoft Intune to resolve issues and we can't deliver solutions to clients because we need to wait for action plans and related processes."
"The initial setup is a little bit complex."
"A feature I would want to see added in Microsoft Intune is the ability to manage other non-Microsoft devices."
"A new Intune feature allows application packaging, but it incurs additional licensing costs for a significant number of applications."
"We occasionally have issues with the graphic software of the interface."
"Ease of access is a bit of a challenge."
"Improvements are required in the area of scalability since it is an aspect of the tool where there are shortcomings."

"It is reasonable for the features it has."
"There is a cost benefit of using Microsoft Intune because of the packaging with other Microsoft products."
"Its price is quite okay. I wish they provide certain additional features with the same license."
"It's affordable. It's cheaper if you have an Office 365, E5, or E3 subscription because everything is there."
"The price of Intune is included with the license for Office 365, so we don't have to pay anything extra for it."
"Microsoft Intune is expensive."
"Microsoft Intune costs about $7 per user per month, which is somewhat on the pricier end. That said, it's a reliable product, so it's fair."
"The tool is not cheap."
"I use the tool's free version."
