Microsoft Intune Reviews

Microsoft Intune serves as a crucial tool to safeguard against unauthorized access and protect sensitive data. By implementing Intune, we can control and monitor device usage, acting as a gateway to enterprise services. Access to corporate resources, including email and sensitive information, is restricted to devices enrolled in Intune. 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.

It acts as a central integration point for endpoint and security management tools, simplifying the connection process. However, considerations such as privacy laws may impact the integration of certain devices, like partner devices, emphasizing the flexibility of Intune in adapting to various organizational needs. Given that Microsoft Intune operates on a policy-driven model, connecting all staff devices becomes a matter of duty. This is because the platform excels in efficiently managing endpoints by enforcing policies that govern device security, access, and compliance.

When it comes to the user experience, integrating and onboarding with Microsoft Intune is a seamless process for the majority of devices, such as those from well-known brands like Android and iOS, where compatibility stands at a high success rate of around ninety-four percent. However, it's important to acknowledge that there might be challenges with certain lesser-known or non-mainstream brands, where compatibility may not reach a hundred percent.

The implementation of Intune hasn't significantly impacted IT productivity within our organization. Instead, its primary function is to enhance security for remote connections.

Intune has played a vital role in minimizing the risk of security breaches. Its effectiveness lies in restricting unauthorized access, particularly in scenarios such as conferences where secure connectivity is crucial. This reinforces the overall security posture, especially concerning mobile devices.

Implementing this product has resulted in cost savings for our organization. In the event of data loss, the expenses associated with investigations and remediation are significantly reduced. The product adds value by mitigating the financial impacts related to security incidents.

Intune plays a crucial role in ensuring the security of hybrid work environments and safeguarding data on both company-owned and BYO devices. While it functions seamlessly for mainstream devices, including Dimensional and others, there might be some challenges with certain brands of personal devices. However, overall, Intune provides a comprehensive platform where both corporate and partner devices can coexist securely.

The utilization of Microsoft security signals, coupled with the impact of Intune on our organization's security, is a pivotal aspect of our strategy. While there may be some limitations in the user interface when dealing with BYOD scenarios, the synergy with Microsoft Defender solutions is noteworthy. The seamless integration within the Microsoft suite ensures a cohesive security approach. Additionally, the incorporation of phishing information and tracking numbers further enhances our security posture, especially when dealing with partner devices atop the Microsoft Defender platform.

The integration of Intune suite capabilities with Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Security for both cloud and on-premises managed devices is highly valuable. The suitability depends on the specific requirements and the number of users in a given scenario.

There is room for improvement, particularly in terms of compatibility, extending beyond the well-known major brands.

Microsoft Intune doesn't require any maintenance from our end.

I recommend Microsoft Intune because it can be easily integrated with other Microsoft products into a single suite, making it a plug-and-play solution that can be set up with ease.

We are rolling out the product to manage cloud-based devices. We heavily use it for iOS and Windows devices.

Microsoft Intune improves our organization’s response time. We are supporting an older population of users. It is a key advantage to be able to support users who lock devices quite frequently.

The product’s biggest advantage is its ability to unlock a large number of devices remotely. It supports end-users who tend to lock their devices quite frequently. Its conditional access policy helps us keep the users logged in to their devices.

Microsoft Intune fails a lot when it comes to device compliance. The devices fall out of compliance a little too easily. If the users don't check in within a certain amount of time, they become non-compliant, even after having up-to-date standard settings.

I have been using Microsoft Intune for three years, personally. Our organization was using it for one or two years before I joined.

I haven’t encountered any stability issues for the product.

Microsoft Intune supports over 10,000 devices for our customers, primarily using iOS and Windows. We have a large number of managed apps in the aerospace industry.

Positive

I can see a good return on investment in terms of the areas it can automate to summarize day-to-day tasks, making them less time-intensive.

Intune has helped us greatly by rolling out conditional access policies with the RBAC settings. It helps us create a security posture for devices.

The product is critical for our organization to keep devices safe. We have a large number of around 300-400 IT executives. It is crucial to be able to limit any one user or group of users within the IT field from a zero-trust standpoint.

In the time aspect, the product helps users get the right tools whenever required. It saves a couple of work hours per month by letting the right IT executives know how to access the devices.

We heavily use iOS space with iPads. I advise others to decide to buy the product depending on the operating systems their environment supports. They should make sure it is the right product for their devices. 

I rate Microsoft Intune an eight out of ten.

We use Microsoft Intune to manage desktop, mobile, Apple, and Windows devices.

Before Microsoft Intune, we were unable to manage devices because everyone was working from home, even though they were still part of our group. This meant that we could not control the devices, such as installing software, deploying tools, or setting up laptops for remote users. After Microsoft Intune was implemented, we were able to manage devices remotely. We can now push policies and applications to devices from a central console. This has made it much easier to keep devices up-to-date and secure, even when employees are working from home.

Device management allows us to control devices remotely, push applications from the cloud, and use autopilot. Autopilot is the most valuable feature.

When somebody has a customized application or their own company's application, we cannot deploy that application. For that, Microsoft has to change some tools, such as the launch tools, so that we can deploy those applications as well.

I have been using Microsoft Intune for two years.

Microsoft Intune is stable.

Microsoft Intune is scalable. We have 300 end users.

The technical support is good.

Positive

We previously used TeamViewer Remote Management. However, we switched to Microsoft Intune because TeamViewer did not offer application deployment or vulnerability management. Microsoft Intune offers both of these features, as well as integration with Office 365 Defender.

Intune's initial setup is straightforward. Microsoft provided us with some documentation on how to implement the basic setup, and we went through that. There is also a lot of documentation available on the Microsoft portal. We can easily find whatever we are looking for by searching. The Microsoft support team is also very helpful.

The implementation was completed in-house.

We have seen a return on investment with Microsoft Intune.

Microsoft Intune is more expensive than other solutions, but it offers a wider range of features and control. It is definitely worth the cost for organizations that need a comprehensive mobile device management solution.

I give Microsoft Intune an eight out of ten. It solves all of the problems that we were previously logging into other products to handle. Now, we can do everything from a single console, including security, management, encryption, device vulnerability, and anything else we want to do with the device. We can even run any script.

There is no maintenance required from our end for Microsoft Intune.

To use Microsoft Intune, we must have an active domain. We can then purchase Intune directly from Microsoft or from a partner.

If I had the opportunity to choose a configuration management tool again, I would choose Microsoft Intune.

We use Microsoft Intune to deploy devices with Autopilot, manage apps, autopatch, device and application management, and enroll security policies.

The solution is fully integrated with the Microsoft platform and the Autopilot feature, which is a unique feature.

The user experience with Microsoft Intune is not so good. Sometimes, you see an error saying policies or configurations are not applied, but you don't get enough insights to know why.

The solution's app deployment needs to be improved. It now has advanced app management as a feature, and you have an app marketplace.

I have been using Microsoft Intune for two years.

Microsoft Intune is a stable solution.

Microsoft Intune is a scalable solution.

My experience with the solution's technical support has been mostly bad. We have a high skill set, and we test most things. When we call support, we normally need second-level or third-level support, and the first level is not very useful.

I rate the solution’s technical support a five or six out of ten.

Neutral

I have also worked with other tools like MobileIron. Compared to its competitors, Microsoft Intune is fully integrated with Microsoft.

Although the onboarding for hybrid devices can sometimes be a bit complex, most setup tasks are very easy.

Microsoft Intune is not cost-effective as a standalone product. It provides good value in an integrated Microsoft solution.

We implemented the solution because we wanted to have a zero-touch deployment. Microsoft Intune brings all our endpoint and security management tools in one place. Microsoft Intune is the base for everything because we use Zero Trust. You don't have Zero Trust if you cannot manage the device.

The solution's app discovery and app automatic updating features are very important. The App Catalog is not currently implemented, but I hope it will be on the roadmap. The solution's advanced endpoint analytics help a lot to proactively detect and remediate anomalies in endpoints. When you have issues with boot time or login time, you can see what the processes are.

I would recommend the solution to other users. In my opinion, Microsoft Intune has a good feature set and good value, but the price for the stand-alone solution is very high. I recommend including it in other license bundles, not as a stand-alone product.

We had Copilot for a testing period, and we used it to better understand or gain insights into problems and to get recommendations. We use Copilot very intensively, and it has been of help to us. However, we don't use Copilot for security in Microsoft Intune because the costs are too high.

I am satisfied with Microsoft Intune's ability to secure hybrid work and protect data on the company (BYOD) bring-your-own devices. The endpoint privilege management feature in Microsoft Intune has some limitations, but in general, it provides better security. Microsoft Intune has impacted our organization's attack surface. There is no need to have local admins.

Microsoft Intune affects our organization's productivity. It is not difficult to maintain the solution. I work with the cloud version of Microsoft Intune.

Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

I worked with Microsoft Intune in my level two support role. My tasks included license assignment and assisting users with configuration issues, especially in mobile device management for iOS and Android devices.

The features I found most valuable in Intune are its user visibility and troubleshooting options. With Intune, I can easily search for a user and see details about their devices and real-time activity. The advanced audit log is especially helpful for diagnosing login and communication issues. Another standout feature is Autopilot, which simplifies machine integration by automatically adding devices to the domain when they are logged in.

Areas for improvement in Intune include expanding support beyond Samsung devices to accommodate other Android manufacturers like Redmi and Motorola. Additionally, there is a need for better support for Linux operating systems, as patch management for Linux is currently not managed by Intune, unlike for Windows devices.

I have worked with Microsoft Intune for three years.

In terms of stability, Intune generally performs well, but there may be occasional bugs like the issue with Redmi devices. While bugs are addressed, the resolution process can be time-consuming.

Intune is a scalable tool with long-term viability. I think it is likely to remain stable and relevant in the market for at least the next decade, even as competition evolves.

I would rate the technical support team for Intune as a five out of ten. It could be improved a bit.

Neutral

The implementation of Intune follows a structured process, starting with a change activity managed by a dedicated team. This involves creating a ServiceNow ticket detailing the implementation plan, rollback options, and involvement of various teams. After approval, testing is conducted, followed by deployment in a phased manner, typically at the beginning of the month to avoid interfering with critical month-end activities.

In comparison to other vendors, Intune is reasonably priced because it offers a comprehensive package that includes email access, Outlook, Office, and OneDrive storage, with storage increasing based on the license. Other service providers may have limitations and additional storage charges, whereas Intune provides services within a single cost, making it attractive to many companies for its flexibility and included features.

We used Microsoft Intune to solve problems, such as ensuring device security and compliance. For instance, some Redmi devices weren't meeting encryption requirements. We addressed this by enabling developer options on those devices, specifically, Redmi models 5 and above. We documented this solution for reference and future troubleshooting.

The most effective feature for managing and securing our mobile workforce is multifactor authentication. It adds an extra layer of security by requiring additional authentication steps when logging into devices. Additionally, conditional access policies allow us to set specific rules, such as blocking downloads or file transfers from personal devices to company resources, ensuring compliance with security policies.

It took about six months to start seeing the benefits of Intune deployment, especially regarding application deployment and user machine management.

Intune integration with other Microsoft products has strengthened our device management strategy by incorporating in-house applications like Outlook, Wi-Fi, and others. Additionally, it provides a mechanism similar to the Google Play Store for adding required applications internally, including Microsoft products like Dropbox, Google Chrome, and others.

Intune is deployed across various locations and departments within our organization. Licenses are allocated based on department and employee roles by our Office 365 team. Users are added to Active Directory groups, and ServiceNow automates configuration and support requests.

Intune requires regular maintenance, typically provided by the IT team or architects. Microsoft releases service updates approximately every three to four months, during which maintenance downtime may occur. 

I would recommend Microsoft Intune to others, especially those working in the field of technology. Staying updated with new technologies is crucial, and Intune offers valuable features for device management and security. However, the decision to use Intune depends on individual needs and preferences, as well as company requirements.

Overall, I would give Microsoft Intune a seven out of ten. While it is a solid tool, there are other competitors in the market like AirWatch and BlackBerry UEM that offer similar functionalities.

We use Microsoft Intune for managing mobile devices. We considered purchasing another solution but ultimately decided to leverage the tools already available within our Microsoft product portfolio.

Microsoft Intune helps us achieve better predictability and a more secure mobile device environment.

Intune consolidates all our endpoint management tools into a single platform. This simplifies our software footprint. We began with mobile devices and are now expanding to personal computers and beyond. While the process may seem ongoing, it reflects the continuous growth of our endpoint management needs.

Intune is user-friendly. Supporting users doesn't require a huge effort. We've even created a self-service portal and instructions to help them install and manage their devices independently. We centrally manage policies and other configurations. This approach eliminates the need for users to bring their devices to service for initial setup, even for mobile devices. It's all about centralized management. When we provide company devices, everything is managed in one place with consistent policies. Software updates are also streamlined. Compared to older Microsoft tools, Intune offers a significant improvement. Updating software and maintaining the system is much easier with Intune.

Our overall security posture is good. We have implemented all of Microsoft's recommended security baselines. As a result, we use Microsoft Defender for Endpoint to protect both our desktops and mobile devices.

Overall, Microsoft Intune has positively impacted productivity within our organization. Several routine tasks that previously required manual intervention are now automated. This includes administrative functions, monitoring processes for functionality, and even interacting with processes that previously demanded significant manual effort.

By integrating Azure Active Directory Conditional Access with Microsoft Intune, we achieved full visibility of our devices, even when disconnected from the company network. This enhanced security posture is particularly beneficial for our remote workforce.

We can securely manage both company-owned devices and personal devices enrolled in our BYOD program. Intune allows us to create different profiles with varying security settings. This enables us to enforce strong security policies while maintaining flexibility. In case of a compromised device, Intune allows us to remotely wipe it, ensuring our data remains secure.

Intune does not provide real-time visibility. Since it's an online tool, it can take a few hours for the records to update.

I have been using Microsoft Intune for two years.

Microsoft Intune is stable.

Intune reduces the number of people needed for routine tasks, freeing them up for higher-value projects. This reallocation of resources delivers a clear return on investment.

Our enterprise agreement includes Microsoft Intune at no additional cost. To add advanced endpoint protection, we need a separate, but relatively inexpensive plan. This makes it a much more cost-effective solution compared to buying these capabilities as separate products.

We considered other mobile device management solutions, such as Davenport and a VMware product, but ultimately chose to stay with Intune due to its rapid development pace.

I would rate Microsoft Intune 8 out of 10. Microsoft Intune excels in environments with standardized devices, but organizations with a mix of models and devices may require significant manual configuration to ensure functionality.

In the past, I wouldn't have recommended Intune. However, with its integration into the Microsoft product line, it has become a valuable tool for any organization's IT portfolio.

We are using it for software deployment. I am able to push any software within minutes. For example, if I want to install Google Chrome for all the users, I can push Google Chrome through Microsoft Intune. Within five to ten minutes, all the users will have Google Chrome. 

We also use it for device management. We can easily register a device. It is very easy. It is helpful for BYOD.

I am happy with Microsoft Intune because Windows updates are easy. There is no need for SCCM. You can push an update, and wherever a system is available, it gets updated. Windows updates are very easy with Microsoft Intune. For Windows systems, endpoint management is very easy with Microsoft Intune as compared to other technologies.

It is user-friendly, and the performance is also good. It is a convenient product.

Sometimes, updating a client policy is very difficult. This needs to be improved.

Their support also needs improvement.

I have been using Microsoft Intune for about three years.

It is very difficult to get support from Microsoft. They are not able to troubleshoot some of the issues. They have support, but it is very difficult to get support.

We were using the SCCM server. It is a Microsoft product.

It is easy. It is not difficult.

It is cheap, but as compared to Google, it is costly. Google is cheaper, but quality-wise, Microsoft Intune is better.

I would recommend Microsoft Intune. It is a good product. 

I would rate Microsoft Intune a seven out of ten.
