Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It has a useful device management feature.""Autopilot is a great feature. Most users are looking for a zero-touch deployment.""I haven't used other mobile device management solutions, but compared to SCCM, we eliminate a lot of on-premises infrastructure and maintenance by using Intune.""It's not working perfectly, but Microsoft's Autopilot offers great visibility into automated deployment solutions.""Its security is most valuable. It gives us a way to secure devices, not only those that are steady. We do have a few tablets and other devices, and it is a way for us to secure these devices and manage them. We know they're out there and what's their status. We can manage their life cycle and verify that they're updated properly.""The solution appears to be stable and scalable.""Conditional access has helped us tailor and enforce our security policies in the mobile space.""Among the most valuable features are the Company Portal that is built into Intune, and the update rings so that we can manage what types of future updates the devices get."

"Screen monitoring and screen sharing, as well as screen remote control, are all very useful features.""Technical support is easy to reach.""It is a scalable solution. "

More Zoho Assist Pros →

Cons
"The add-ons must be integrated into the solution.""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.""Onboarding of endpoint devices is not straightforward. The onboarding process was a little heavier than I thought it would be. That's the key improvement area. Obviously, the more control you have over the devices, the better it is.""It needs certificate provisioning for S/MIME purposes.""The pricing could be improved.""Microsoft Intune fails a lot when it comes to device compliance.""Data leak prevention can be integrated into it. Currently, it does not have data leak prevention.""There are some issues using the solution with macOS and iOS, and it offers limited granular control with them. Intune works better on Windows and Android."

"Support could be more knowledgeable.""It could be integrated with IT management tools.""They do have some glitches in the microphone and speaker, especially during remote access."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Microsoft Intune stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Two major ones are its ability to secure all devices under its management and the flexibility that the solution offers its users.

    A computing services manager notes, "Its security is most valuable. It gives us a way to secure devices, not only those that are steady. We do have a few tablets and other devices, and it is a way for us to secure these devices and manage them. We know they're out there and what's their status. We can manage their life cycle and verify that they're updated properly."

    The head of IT engineering at a financial services company writes, "The one feature we find most useful is the Mobile Application Manager. There are two types: we have the complete MDM and the Mobile Application Manager (MAM). We don't give our users phones, it is their own personal phone, and we need to allow them to have access to the company details on their phone. We need to create a balance between their own personal data and the company data. We deploy the Mobile Application Manager for them so that we won't be able to interfere with their own personal data."

    Zoho Assist is an online remote support and access platform for small and mid-sized businesses that can empower every app to become more trustworthy at absolutely no cost. It contributes significantly to Zoho's powerful management engine with out-of-the-box, creative, and timely support.
