"It is very easy to use. It has a very easy interface."
"Being able to manage the devices remotely is most valuable. We can push security requirements through Microsoft Intune."
"We can manage and standardize security across your environment, identify problems, receive alerts, and so on. That's its purpose, and that's also why it's so good."
"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."
"It is a comprehensive security solution that not only controls access to enterprise resources but also tracks and prevents unauthorized access, ensuring the protection of sensitive data and preventing potential data loss scenarios."

"At the moment, Autopilot is the most valuable feature."
"The ability to programmatically describe the desired state of a single, or an entire fleet of servers, on-premises, and in a cloud environment."
"SaltStack has given us the ability to deal with systems at scale and rectify issues at scale."
"The automation functionality has been most valuable. With a click of a button, we are able to automate provisioning, the build of new hardware and apply patches. These are all extremely important and differentiated tasks that can be automated in SaltStack."
"The product’s most valuable feature is its ability to provide environmental security."
"We monitor the configurations against CIS standards. We run CIS benchmarks and maintain configurations with higher CIS values for each server."
"It is a highly stable solution."

"The way the dashboard works with the main orchestrator to combine different types of cloud providers is helpful."
"The most valuable feature is the metering capability."
"I like the integration with other applications or vendors."
"The flexibility is the product's most valuable feature."
"It doesn't take long to develop an automation blueprint. You need about half an hour, and then you can install or deploy it on several systems. That was our first great advantage in the project because we urgently needed to deploy across many different systems."
"The tool helps us to monitor the services provided to customers as a cloud provider. The product is a monitoring solution that helps customers pay for their utilization of services."
"The most valuable feature is that it has a very easy and adaptive look and feel, compared with some other cloud solutions."
"This solution has made us aware that we are over-provisioning our virtual machines."
"It's the granularity: 'Is your firewall on? Is BitLocker on?' It's not amazing granularity. But I've looked into other products, like Duo, and they're all similar."
"There is still a gap between SCCM and Intune, especially in the reporting, inventory, and software deployment areas."

"The scalability could be improved, and like most other MDM products, Intune is good but not 100% there yet."
"China blocks Google and Google Play Store, which makes installation challenging. Microsoft Intune is a company software, which has to be installed to the app portal or Microsoft Software Center."

"There should be more support for macOS. Even though macOS is supported by Intune and Microsoft is working very hard to get more features into Intune to manage macOS, that's one thing they can give a lot more attention to."
"There is a little bit of pain when it comes to libraries and what is needed to run the product."
"This solution could be integrated with more hardware for an improved offering."

"I would like to have an easy way of modifying the reference data that is used for the purposes of estimating the total billing."
"It's not always easy to find the information you need. You must have a lot of technical experience to find the right location for what you're implementing within the program."
"I would like it if they could provide their customers with more qualified support."
"Better integration with other VMware toolsets would be beneficial."
"The pricing model is complicated and would be more predictable if it were simplified."
