Microsoft Intune Reviews

I work for a company as an administrator for Office 365, and I use Microsoft Intune in this capacity.

We implement this solution in conjunction with Microsoft IIS.

It is an enterprise mobility tool that is used for mobile application management and mobile device management.

This product allows us to restrict users who have access to the system, or to Office 365. We have to enroll the devices and give the users rights as directed by our management or security department.

The interface is friendly and well organized.

The security features should be improved.

I have been working with Microsoft Intune for two years.

We have more than 1,000 employees in the company, and there are about 500 users for this solution. Typically, it is used by managers and higher-ups.

We have not yet had to open a support case with Microsoft. To this point, we have solved any problems ourselves. As such, technical support has not been a concern.

We did not use another similar solution prior to Intune.

The initial setup is not complex.

The length of time required for deployment depends on the number of people in the environment. It also depends on how adopted people are with this type of technology. Six months is enough to complete a full deployment.

Some of our deployments are on-premises, whereas others are on the cloud.

Our in-house team was responsible for deployment. Based on our license, we have the option to engage with a partner but we haven't used them.

When it comes to security solutions, it is difficult to calculate the return on investment. This is because it is somewhat like car insurance, where car buyers are protected if something happens. If there are no incidents then you don't see it but you're still protected.

This cost is approximately $30 USD per user per month.

This product is included with our Microsoft 365 E3 subscription.

My advice for anybody who is looking into this product is to try it before they buy it. Microsoft offers a program that allows them to do this.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

We use Microsoft Intune to secure our mobile access when you're assessing your data from your mobile. Additionally, we use the solution to limit people from transferring files to people that are not part of our domain, and secure company data from exposure.

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 detail 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.

We are always working with Microsoft on improvements. Improvement is not something that is static, we are always looking for a dynamic way of working with Microsoft. We have a support and enterprise agreement with Microsoft. Every quarter, we review the performance of all our solutions and then we ask for further improvement.

In the next release, I would like a feature to be able to properly lock down the device. For example, if an attacker or somebody steals the phone, you can be sure that the pin cannot be broken.

I have been using Microsoft Intune for approximately four years.

I have found Microsoft Intune to be stable.

Microsoft Intune is scalable.

The installation is not complex.

I would advise others to ensure that the technical people are well versatile and trained, especially the technical people that will implement Microsoft Intune.

I rate Microsoft Intune a nine out of ten.

The most important part is that they're fast in implementing and integrating with the Windows operating system, as well as how it integrates with other Office 365 products.

There is no option to do end-to-end macOS management. The second thing is that the actions or policies don't get applied immediately, so there should be much faster way of implementing the policies. If you wanted to implement some actions on the device, it doesn't happen very quickly. 

I'd also add more flexibility with the mobile device management part of it. At the moment, it's very limited compared to other MDM providers, so there should be more options.

I've been using it for four or five years.

Intune is quite stable.

Microsoft's technical support isn't very good. They're very slow in responding. You get a response, but the problem is if you have an issue with a feature or a critical bug, the response is very slow.

It is very easy to set up compared to other MDM products.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten. 

We are a system integrator who provides services to a variety of customers. I have provided this solution for a couple of my customers.

Microsoft Intune is primarily used to apply compliance requirements, install updates, and prevent users from sharing data because it is, part of the EMS, not just Intune.

For the price, the features included with Microsoft are appealing.

That is subjective because I haven't used anything other than Intune for MDM and MAM. We were fairly satisfied, I would say, but there are always a few things that our customers mention, such as this was simple.

Compatibility is another point raised by the customer. Microsoft is always a little behind when it comes to compatibility.  For example, Microsoft does not support Linux. or, any other platforms offered by other vendors.

The remote screen support and remote assistance were two features that we greatly missed in Intune. According to our customers who use Workspace ONE, it is available. For example, you can get remote assistance for an iPhone, which is somewhat reliant on a third-party solution, for Microsoft. We were not able to do that for testing purposes, we faced some challenges. We had to purchase an additional subscription from Teams Viewer.

Microsoft Intune lacks the ability to provide seamless remote assistance or remote control.

I have been familiar with Microsoft Intune for approximately three to four years.

Getting assistance from Microsoft is a difficult task, as we have noticed over the last few years that service is deteriorating. 

It's deteriorating in the sense that you don't get the proper resource the first time you call, message, or email. You should wait or inquire first. Normally, the person you are aligned with is usually someone who works on the front lines. On occasion, we may ask the support team to connect us with the appropriate individual or escalate the ticket.

This is my personal experience with Microsoft. I can't compare it to anything else.

Based on my conversation with my customer, they say that VMware Workspace ONE is easier to install.

While I have not tried to install VMware Workspace ONE myself, I don't find Microsoft Intune to be difficult to install.

No one can compete with Microsoft when it comes to price, and the features it is offering.

They bundle different things with EMS. 

EMS, which is a suite that includes Intune, along with some other products is still extremely competitive with other competitors. 

At the moment, I'm comparing it to VMware Workspace ONE.

I was comparing Microsoft Intune to VMware Workspace ONE, or EMS as it is more commonly known.

I would rate Microsoft Intune an eight out of ten, but when you add in the rest of the products, such as AIP and Azure Premium, I would say nine.

We switched to Office 365 applications and we already had an Office 365 license that covers Microsoft Intune. We decided to use Intune for our Mobile Application Management solution.

I only use Microsoft Intune for Mobile Application Management for the management of Office 365 apps. Additionally, we have Microsoft Intune integrated with Workspace ONE.

We have used conditional access policies to prevent users from copying internal resources or internal data to external devices. This has helped protect our organizations from being compromised.

The conditional access policies that we set up are very useful.

Microsoft Intune could improve by being more user-friendly and having it geared toward device management. The graphic interface is not very good.

The VPN option within Intune is not as intuitive as the one available in Workspace ONE. We're trying to implement a VPN tunnel for SharePoint sites. This will allow users trying to access internal resources, such as SharePoint, and other Office 365 data, but it doesn't work as well as Workspace ONE. 

We are in the POC stage of the VPN tunnel. We only have a development tenant for the tunnel. We plan is to implement that in production and get rid of Workspace ONE, if it meets our needs.

I have used Microsoft Intune within the past 12 months.

The solution is stable.

I have found Microsoft Intune to be scalable.

We have over 5,500 users using this solution.

The technical support from Microsoft could improve, it is not as good as the Workspace ONE support. It is difficult to contact Microsoft support.

I have used Workspace ONE, and I would highly recommend it over Microsoft Intune.

The initial setup was complex, and the full deployment took us one year.

We did the deployment ourselves. There is little maintenance required, we have to only update policies. We have a mobility architect that set up most of the backend and we did work with a Microsoft resource for this process.

I have received a return on investment, the solution is inexpensive.

There is a license required to use this solution. However, it was part of a bundle package. 

Microsoft Intune is far less expensive than other solutions, such as Workspace ONE.

We are only using Microsoft Intune because it came with our Office 365 license.

I rate Microsoft Intune a five out of ten.

We use Microsoft Intune for match management for the more than 1,000 computers we have in our organization.

Before using Microsoft Intune we were having trouble when people were not coming to the office and they were working from remote locations. We did not have any control over their devices. Since the introduction of Microsoft Intune, we have had the problem completely taken care of. 

Right after we started using Microsoft Intune we were stuck with this pandemic of COVID-19, and 100% of the users were working from home. It was a good thing we started using it at that time, we were able to do the patch management even though 100% of the workforce were sitting at home.

We have a lot of on-premise server policies which we were struggling with because users get authenticated on the company network, but some elements would not take effect. However, with the implementation of Microsoft Intune, we do not have that problem anymore because the user only needs to be connected to the internet. They will get all the policies that we configure on a global scale.

These are the main areas that have changed the way we do administration tasks on the devices. Additionally, we have control over the applications, such as Mobile Application Management (MAM), we can control how the user can share the company data which we did not before. They could previously install a certain email application on their phone and then they could share it with anyone, but now we have the control; we can restrict it and we can even restrict the applications that they can use. We can stop them from sharing things on WhatsApp. We can only apply limits to the Microsoft platforms, such as Teams and Outlook.

The solution is easy to use.

The solution could improve its flexibility.

I have been using Microsoft Intune for one year.

Microsoft Intune is stable.

The solution is scalable.

We have approximately 1,200 users using the solution and for the operators or managers using the solution, we have approximately 15.

The support is satisfactory.

I have used ManageEngine Desktop Central and SCCM. When comparing SCCM to Microsoft Intune, when we used SCCM we had more control and visibility on what we deployed. There are certain cases where you do not want to deploy something. For example, there are security updates or quality updates that could have bugs or glitches that you see around the world. Another example is, every second Tuesday Microsoft patches will be released and you hear that some of them can have bugs or glitches, we can take them off the list and not proceed with that particular patch. This was possible in SCCM because you can select whatever patch you want before deployment. However, in Microsoft Intune that is not possible because Microsoft releases it across the world as one data piece. You do not have control over whether to select it or not, we have to accept it.

ManageEngine Desktop Central is very similar to SCCM, you can select what updates or patches you want. If you do not want one patch you do not have to select it. 

We migrated all the services to Microsoft platform cloud architecture. We went with Intune for the patch management, but we do have ManageEngine Desktop Central, which is capable of doing patch management.

The installation of Microsoft Intune was not difficult, it was smooth. Once it was set up it was up and running, we only had to configure the policies. Integrating was easy with Active Directory.

I did the implementation of the solution myself. We have a team of four to five that do the deployment of the solution.

There is a license needed to use the solution and we are on an annual license.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Microsoft Intune an eight out of ten.

Microsoft Intune is a cloud-based solution, but it is installed on local desktops. It is part of Office 365 and because people are working from home it enables us to make the desktops more secure.

By using Microsoft Intune we can control which websites the users can go to and it provides a secure environment for our employees using their laptops that are having access from home.  We have installed Intune to control the user's environment minimizing the chances of any hacking.

Microsoft Intune is secure and integrates well with other Microsoft solutions.

I have been using Microsoft Intune for a couple of months.

Microsoft Intune is stable.

The solution is scalable since it is part of Office 365. Additionally, it is very scalable in the sense that you can have millions of users who are using it and check all the alerts that have been sent to the central system online. There you can check if any event of concern has occurred on any desktop on the online portal from Microsoft.

We have approximately 400 users and 500 devices using this solution.

We have not used technical support because we have a lot of employees with technical skills. However, if we do need to use technical support there is Microsoft partner support available.

The installation is very easy. However, to be able to configure it you will need special knowledge, such as training or self-studies to have a proper level of security. There are many settings one has to understand before being able to implement Microsoft Intune.

Microsoft Intune is very simple to install on a local desktop. You can use remote access and install the software. The configuring of the solution is done online on a portal and the policies are pushed to the desktop where Microsoft Intune is installed.

Microsoft Intune is moderately priced. There is a monthly license required to use the solution and it is approximately eight dollars per month.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Microsoft Intune an eight out of ten.

I am an IT support engineer. I take care of all IT projects in my organization. I have implemented Intune and onboarded thousands of devices over Intune. I'm not an end-user. I am supporting our employees with IT policies.

I can reach devices or computers over the internet. I don't need to worry about the network connectivity between the offices. I can manage any device. That is the most important part. 

The Mobile Application Management (MAM) policy is also valuable. I can control applications, and I can secure applications by using the MAM policy. It is very effective and very helpful in protecting our users' data on mobile devices such as iPhones, Android phones, etc. I can apply policies, and I can protect user data.

I can also deploy the software and applications and do configurations. Windows autopilot is there. It is like self-provisioning on employees' computers. That is also an important part.

The most important thing is reporting. They should improve their reporting. They should give a free hand to users. In SCCM, I can create my own reports. For example, in SCCM, I can create an inventory report for my PC or for all PCs, but in Intune, we don't have an option to create any report. Microsoft claims that Intune is a successor of SCCM, but SCCM is more powerful than Intune. So, they should develop Intune more and make it equivalent to SCCM. Then, their product will be great in the market.

If I want to deploy an application, I cannot add multiple schedules. I can add only one schedule, and I need to rely on that. Adding multiple schedules over a period of time is not possible at this time.

I cannot evaluate any setting before deploying anything. In SCCM, we have the Compliance Baseline feature. If I want to check any service or anything else, I can do that, but in Intune, that is not available. There are very few compliance policies. They say whether your device is compliant or not, but if they don't provide enough and better compliance policies, why should I be compliant with those policies? They should give more options for the compliance policies so that we can choose something better, and we can make our devices comply with those policies. 

It lacks in terms of analytics. Analytics and all such things are not good, which again comes down to the reporting part. It should be better in terms of analytics and reporting. 

It also lacks in terms of automation. If we want to automate some of the things, we need to spend more time on automation. Other tools in the market are giving better automation graphically. So, they can work on that part.

Their support should also be improved. They don't know about their own product.

I have been using this solution for the last six months.

It is very stable. So, whatever features they provide are working great. There are no problems with those features.

My experience with them was very bad. They don't know about their own product. I know better than them by going through their articles and other resources. When I ask them anything, they come up with silly answers. They are making me feel frustrated. I have had a very bad experience with their support.

Its initial setup is very easy. We don't need to deploy any servers anywhere. With just a few clicks, we can set up Intune. We just need to set the MDM authority, and we need to set the automatic enrollment. That's it.

Most of the mobile device management tools are giving the same facility. I don't have experience with VMware Workspace ONE, but I have been reading about it. VMware Workspace ONE also gives similar features in a slightly different way, but the objective of all such tools is the same. 

I would rate Microsoft Intune a five out of 10 because they are still developing it.
