Microsoft Intune Reviews

Effectively, we are using Microsoft Endpoint Manager, which is a mix of Intune and CCM. I'm not sure if there's a specific category for that.

We are using it mainly for the office workers, for the regular laptops. On top of that, we got our fairly specialized devices on our factories, such as the tag down Zebra Scanners, the RealWear glasses - the augmented reality ones and the kiosks as well. Those are the main use cases.

The solution offers very good integration with broader enterprise systems.

The scaling seems to be okay.

It works well if you have a Microsoft environment.

The solution allows companies to capitalize on costs, especially if they are a Microsoft shop.

The product needs better management support, for sure, especially between non-Microsoft applications. It would be good, for example, to have some Chrome OS support.

The solution requires baselines within the web console. That's something that is missing. 

They need better delegation capabilities in the reporting.

The solution requires Mac support.

We've used the solution for about two years at this point. 

Recently, the scalability seems not to be very good. There are minor incidents appearing quite frequently. Besides that, from an overall standpoint, compared to Workspace ONE, it's much more stable.

The solution is scalable.

We have about 70,000 users on it.

We are using this solution extensively. We use it for daily routines. It's one of our core services. It's used by our end-users.

We are increasing it. We are willing to extend it in the near future.

We are not satisfied with technical support. Some improvements might be required.

We did previously use VMware. We tried mainly to reduce some costs. This product seems to come as a part of a bundle, which slightly reduces costs. Also, VMware had plenty of functionalities that were not necessarily fitting into our landscape. We were not able to capitalize on the cost of the process. They didn't have any great integrations with broader enterprise systems.

The initial setup was quite straightforward.

We do not need much staff for the maintenance of the solution. It's pretty low maintenance.

Our team handled the setup. Our internet team did it. We didn't need any integrators or consultants. 

We have a broader enterprise agreement which is set up as a four-year period.

In terms of extra costs, there may be some infrastructure costs, especially for the on-premise part of the solution.

I'm a service manager right now.  I'm a little bit within the scope of the consultant versus the advisor.

We're using the latest version of the solution.

Potential new users need to strongly assess their needs. If they are already on Microsoft stack, they shouldn't look for any other solution than that. If their daily usage or utilization or needs are varied and they have a variety of devices, not necessarily based on Windows or other standard platforms, they might consider a different solution, especially if they need Chromebook support.

I'd rate the solution at a seven out of ten.

We are using Microsoft Intune for personal devices, specifically for mobile devices with Android, iOS, and Windows. We have applied the policies over there for device restriction and compliance. We also have a few policies related to Microsoft Defender.

At the security level, it has done wonders. We can easily differentiate between applications. For example, there are a few applications that are only related to the organization's work. We can deploy those applications.

It is very effective. Since the pandemic, we have been in the remote work scenario. We are managing people working from the office and home. Microsoft Intune has been helping us with most tasks we are doing, such as deploying applications and resetting passwords. We are also enrolling the devices. It has saved lots of time and money.

It did not take us long to realize its benefits. We just put our scenarios, and it took us a month or two months.

Microsoft Intune integrates well with other Microsoft solutions. It collaborates well with Defender and Cloud PC. We will see a few more collaborations in the future. It will work with other features of Microsoft as well.

The reporting of Microsoft Intune is very good. They have been introducing new things as per the requirements of customers. It is quite granular compared to other MDM solutions.

The feature I like the most is that we can perform remote tasks. If we want to retire or wipe out personal data or corporate data from a device, we can use Microsoft Intune remotely, and with the click of a button, data is removed automatically. Nothing needs to be done from the end-user side.

The App Protection policies are very effective. With these policies, we can separate the corporate data and personal data. We can block the sharing of information from personal data to corporate data and vice versa.

There are lots of areas. The backend of Microsoft Intune needs to be improved. We have seen a little bit of delay as compared to other MDM solutions. That needs to be improved. A little bit more granularity should also be added.

I have been using Microsoft Intune for 3 years.

Its stability is great. I would rate it a ten out of ten for stability.

It has great features. It has a good amount of scalability.

They have been great. They have a team that works granularly on the issues. They also have unified support for this. They also have 24/7 support. We get good support from Microsoft. I would rate them a nine out of ten.

Positive

I have only used SCCM which was provided by Microsoft and was totally on-premises. I have not used any MDM solutions from them.

In my organization, it is a hybrid deployment. I was not involved in its initial deployment, but I know that it is a little bit complex for people who are using it from scratch. You need at least an experience with SCCM.

It is deployed at a single location. In terms of maintenance, it does not require any maintenance from our side. Everything is handled by Microsoft.

We have seen an ROI.

I am not that aware of the pricing, but as compared to other MDM solutions, Microsoft is providing a lot of things at the organizational level. So, it is quite reasonable as compared to other MDM solutions.

I would recommend Microsoft Intune to others. If you have any plans for having remote work in your organization, Microsoft Intune has the capability. In the future, you will also see Microsoft handling everything related to Active Directory, which is the backbone of an organization, from Microsoft Intune itself. 

I would advise learning Microsoft Intune as soon as possible because this is the future.

I would rate Microsoft Intune a nine out of ten.

The solution has a holistic approach. The device management, application management, identity management, and cybersecurity features are valuable. It brings all of the endpoint and security management tools into one place. It provides complete integration with Microsoft products. It provides full endpoint visibility and IT controls across device platforms.

It makes the security measurements easier to maintain. The user experience is sufficiently good. It helps secure hybrid work and protect data. The tool provides an add-on that integrates artificial intelligence and Microsoft Graph. It is a good development. The product has affected IT productivity in our organization.

It's a good platform for management and security for all kinds of devices. There is less trouble for the users so they can do more. For the IT team, the product provides a guarantee of security. The solution has reduced the risk of security breaches by 30%. It has helped us save on direct and indirect costs. We are a global organization. We need fewer resources and are more secure due to the solution. There are much less incidents based on security.

The tool helps consolidate vendors. There is much more functionality that we can leverage. It has positively affected the security posture of the organization and licensing costs. The capabilities of Intune that are integrated with Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Security are very important. I work in environments that are completely Microsoft-dominated. The more we use Microsoft, the better the integration. It is easier to connect the different parts. I am satisfied with the product’s performance.

The add-ons must be integrated into the solution. They should not be separate add-ons. The add-ons have artificial intelligence and must be part of the base product.

I have been using the solution for very long.

I am satisfied with the product’s scalability.

The technical support is quite reasonable.

Neutral

The pricing is competitive, but it is not cheap. All the licenses are not cheap nowadays.

I have used AirWatch in my previous organization. The integration provided by Microsoft Intune is its biggest advantage over its competitors. Most of the integration with third-party tools is good.

I'm familiar with Microsoft Intune from the beginning. I have heard that the solution’s Tunnel for MAM feature enables users to use their private phones to make a secure connection to the company's network to access company resources. I haven’t used it yet. We are partners and customers. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

We are moving from our parent company's tenants to our own, using the product to manage devices. 

I like the tool's integration with Apple. Anyone who creates an ID in Intune will get an Apple ID. 

The product needs to upgrade itself when the server is overloaded.

I have been using the product for a month. 

The product is very scalable. 

We have weekly calls with the Microsoft team, who are very attentive. 

Our parent company makes the deployment process very complex by using non-Microsoft tools. 

We rely on a vendor team to complete the deployment. 

The product is easier to manage and integrates with our ecosystem. It has made our organizational security posture simple. We can leverage the security policies in Azure and create our policies in MDM. I rate it a ten out of ten. 

Microsoft Endpoint Manager is simply a desktop, a laptop, a smartphone, or a tablet. An endpoint is exactly what it sounds like. Microsoft, on the other hand, makes use of that tool.

Endpoint allows you to deploy the operating system level. It enables the packaging and deployment of applications. It enables you to secure systems with BitLocker and incorporate things with Active Directory.

We are a consulting firm.

Our clients use it to simplify desktop builds and to maintain the patch management on their servers and desktops, as well as to have an easy mechanism for both rolling out BitLocker, which is a Microsoft tool and publishing new updates for their various software packages.

Microsoft is investing significantly more in the cloud. For our use and our clients' use, and again, our clients who use Endpoint number over 500, with an increase of 1,000 users. It is effective. It significantly reduces the overhead associated with providing support. It actually works quite well.

The installation could be improved to be simplified.

I have been working with Microsoft Endpoint Manager for the last 12 months.

We are Microsoft partners. 

We have been working for well over a decade with SCCM, and now with Microsoft Endpoint Manager.

They are deployed both on the cloud, and on-premises.

Microsoft Endpoint Manager is quite stable.

Microsoft's cloud has a capacity of 100,000 users. Depending on what you are dealing with, it's highly scalable, depending on how and where you deploy it.

It's from Microsoft. However, we are a Microsoft Premier partner. As a result, we are quite familiar with the product. Again, there isn't much of a need for it. However, our clients call us if they run into problems, which happens very rarely.

You do not have to maintain the Microsoft Endpoint that is built into their cloud, it's a cloud-based service. Locally, there is now maintenance every 16 months if you are deploying the local endpoint or creating a hybrid to Microsoft's cloud. You have to upgrade if you are deploying the local deployment. The current build changes every 16 months, but the upgrade is a very low skill set, you don't need anyone to upgrade it.

SCCM is no longer known as SCCM. It's known as Endpoint. Microsoft no longer recognizes that product. Endpoint refers to both the local and cloud-based installations. And, prior to their acquisition by Dell, we were a long-term partner with Quest. We've had clients use Quest products, but we haven't.

According to Microsoft, SCCM is no longer in use. Microsoft Endpoint is the new name for the current build. You can now deploy an Endpoint structure locally or pull Endpoint from Azure.

SCCM is no longer active.

I have worked with both Microsoft Endpoint Manager as well as Quest in the last 12 months. We have clients running the Quest Software.

The most recent Quest software we've seen is the Exchange PTS, or mail migration tool. That is probably the tool that we've had clients deal with twice. However, that is apples to oranges in comparison to SCCM.

It is the mail migration utility. According to my understanding, Quest recently sold that to a different company. So it's an old Quest product.

The initial setup is complex.

You have to appreciate two points with Microsoft Endpoint Manager. Microsoft Endpoint is based in Microsoft's cloud, 365 Azure. And Microsoft has simplified it quite a bit. They also work well with Intune. Many of their services are complementary to the solution. Autopilot is being sent out. You can have a machine auto-built from a remote location, or you can order an Autopilot deployment from your HP, Dell, or Lenovo. They've simplified it considerably since the old days, but there is still a technical element. For those with a technical nature, it is quite simple. Anything is simple if you understand the product.

You should probably consider cloud deployment before local deployment because Microsoft has made significant investments in the cloud. The local deployment is still in place. Microsoft's cloud comes with a lot of extra features that are free of charge. Furthermore, if you deploy it locally, you must own SQL, whereas, in the cloud, SQL is not required.

I would rate Microsoft Endpoint Manager a nine out of ten.

When using Microsoft Intune our main focus was on Office 365. Our Azure Active Directory was only held up for users. When we had implemented the endpoint user management in our workstations in a cloud environment, then we started to use Microsoft Intune on an everyday basis, such as remote connection, deploying workstations, Autopilot, and deploying applications. It is a great tool.

Microsoft Intune is a cloud solution. For an on-premise solution, you have SCCM from Microsoft. However, it is old and it will be an obsolete tool soon. There are other solutions such as ManageEngine. Microsoft Intune tool is in the cloud and we can manage everything. You can manage Azure AD, Intune, and not only mobile hand devices, such as iOS or Android, the main focus is on workstations. This is what makes the solution powerful.

I expect Microsoft Intune to have more features in the cloud because there are two major functionalities that we need to be added. This is software metering and license management. These functionalities, for now, must be on-premise. For this purpose, we have set up a SQL Server and I hope that in near future this option will be in the cloud in Microsoft Intune.

I have been using Microsoft Intune for approximately two years.

The stability of Microsoft Intune is great.

Microsoft Intune is highly scalable. When you configure your network connection, there are a lot of firewalls and you can optimize your internet speed. Everything works great. You can tune up some repository sizes with Microsoft because if you have large applications, such as AutoCAD, when you upload the images to the cloud it takes some time and it needs more space.

We had four people in my company that used Microsoft Intune on approximately 100 systems.

The technical support of Microsoft Intune is good.

I previously used BEAM for client management from an American company and SCCM from Microsoft. Additionally, I used ManageEngine and Lansweeper. Lansweeper was a light tool with similar functionality. We use it in combination with TeamViewer.

We have projects all over the world. It took us four months to implement Intune Microsoft Intune for approximately 100 clients in three countries. We implemented it in many locations, such as Germany in three cities, Croatia, and Bosnia, there is a total of 50 locations. Microsoft Intune is easy to work with.

The initial setup is not simple, you need a specialist to be involved that has the appropriate experience. This is not a solution where out of the box you run the executable file on your system and hit next, next, to finish the installation.

Microsoft Intune requires specialists to implement the solution. We used an external team of two engineer specialists that was dedicated to the project. I helped too because I have experience in plant management.

There is a license required to use the solution. If you're core users in Office 365, for example, you have Outlook email and E3 license, this is only email. You have to buy an EMS license to have Microsoft Intune. It is expensive.

I would recommend the solution to others.

I rate Microsoft Intune a nine out of ten.

We are using it to protect our devices. We are using it for protecting our corporate data on the phone and for GDPR compliance. 

We are using its latest version.

It is helpful for protecting our corporate data on the phone. In the event a phone is stolen, we can remotely wipe the phone or destroy the data on it.

It also helps us with our GDPR compliance. We also have the GDPR module on the cloud that links to all the endpoints, laptops, mobile phones, and tablets. So, we can also remotely protect the data on the phones, wherever they are.

Intune makes it possible for us to reach all the endpoints and have them protected at all times. We have what is called Defender now, but it used to be called Advanced Threat Protection.

The ability to manage devices with different sets of policies is most valuable.

We haven't really gone through all the features of Intune. We are just discovering them. Every day, we see a new feature that we want to apply, but what will be great for Intune is to be able to deploy apps in a simple fashion. We should be able to easily install various apps on the Windows platform, iOS, and Android. Currently, we have to write some scripts. It's not as straightforward as we would like it to be. It should be simplified so that we can do it just with three clicks—next, next, finish—without needing to write a script.

I have been using this solution for about six years.

So far, it has been good because what we tend to do is get high-end phones with lots of processing power, RAM, and storage. That way, its capacity is never an issue.

It is scalable. It is a multi-user license, and because there are templates for policies, it's easy to just assign what you have set up for executives, for ordinary users, for marketers, etc.

We have about 150 users who use this solution. I work with this on a daily basis.

I would rate them a 10 out of 10 because they knew what the problem was, and they walked us through resolving it. I am satisfied with their support.

Positive

The first one we used was VMware AirWatch. The reseller overestimated our requirements, and we got a very expensive package. It was about $57,000 every year, and eventually, we found out they had a package for $6,000 every year that did exactly what we wanted, so we had to drop it. We had spent two years on VMware AirWatch with the expensive module.

We switched to Intune because we were already on a Microsoft subscription for Office 365, and the add-on wasn't that expensive.

It was simple. I would rate it a four out of five in terms of the setup. It took about a week.

It is a cloud product. It doesn't require any maintenance from our side. We get an update every time they upgrade a feature.

We did it internally. We just went through the documentation.

It's affordable for the protection it gives. There are no additional costs.

I would advise getting a Microsoft partner to deploy it for you. It's a lot quicker. 

I would definitely recommend this product. I would rate it a 10 out of 10.

We use the solution for endpoint management, which includes security and compliance. 

We are a remote company, and the product helps us manage the global endpoints. It helps us natively manage the endpoints in the cloud from anywhere. 

Microsoft Intune's most valuable feature is Autopilot. 

We faced issues with macOS support. The product should have better inventory and asset management. 

I have been using the product for four to five years. 

Microsoft Intune is stable. 

My company has 200 users. 

Microsoft Intune's deployment is straightforward. 

We did the deployment in-house. 

I liked the tool's pricing until P2 came into effect. I am unsure about the current value versus the cost of the new licensing model. 

Microsoft Intune has improved access to devices for remote wipes. We can act quickly whenever someone leaves a company or a device gets stolen. It offers more visibility into our IT group. 

The tool's cloud-focused availability has improved the organizational security posture. It has helped to save time. We can do a lot more with a smaller team.

I rate the product a nine out of ten.
