Microsoft Intune Reviews

In my career, I have used Microsoft Intune for about four or five months during my internship at my previous company, which is a global organization where I learned about Microsoft Intune and Entra Admin. I was using the cloud-based system all of the time. I am knowledgeable about many aspects and can manage requirements as needed, including device management and application management. I can handle whatever part of the premises needs to be taken care of.

What I appreciate most about Microsoft Intune is that we can manage multiple devices simultaneously in a single frame of time. I can manage everything remotely from anywhere. There are policies I can implement for compliance on several things, such as for sales teams, finance management teams, or tech teams. I can focus on the segment where I'm implementing policies or accessibility and manage it very quickly. Microsoft Intune brings all our endpoint and security management tools into one place, and we can minimize the endpoint and security management aspects. The security doesn't need further development as it already has multi-factor authentication options. If we want to add another option, we can mail a QR code; if the organization has that QR code, any employee can access it similar to multi-factor authentication. By using Microsoft Intune, we can protect our system through security checks, allowing us to define which party can access our system from remote locations. There are various applications being utilized for remote functions, and with our firewall in place, we don't need to worry about security.

The downside of Microsoft Intune is that in a fast-moving world, most people are using AWS or Azure. Specifically, cloud-based technologies nowadays manage this stuff automatically after deployments, particularly for application purposes. For application and device management, I suggest combining them in a mode where managing both things could have shortcuts throughout the system. For instance, when applying anything to a tech team, it should automatically apply to their applications on phones as well. There should be a system already designed, and as a developer, I believe I can design that type of framework.

I have used Microsoft Intune for about four or five months.

I have faced stability issues with Microsoft Intune plenty of times, but I think it's part of the process. It functions adequately sometimes; nothing is 100% perfect.

The scalability of Microsoft Intune is quite good; it won't affect the work environment or struggle with multiple PCs. For large-scale use, there might be timing issues during installations or setups, which requires more time.

I have contacted technical support many times, and they respond quite accessibly, making it easy to reach out to them.

It takes around 45 minutes to set it up for me.

Microsoft Intune doesn't require any maintenance; the only cost involved is paying for the package on a yearly or monthly basis.

I haven't tried using any alternatives to Microsoft Intune. There is a system with Google that has its endpoint system, but I haven't used it. Most people around me are using Microsoft.

On a scale of one to ten, I would give Microsoft Intune a rating of eight out of ten.

We use Microsoft Intune to manage mobile phone devices and laptops to ensure they are synchronized with the company. They are not used for tracking or third-party software, and they comply with company regulations. If devices get tampered with, lost, or stolen, we can track them. The devices are registered to our systems, so if anyone forgets their user IDs or passwords, we can resolve that using the authenticator. We use the Cloud PKI, which is straightforward and easy to learn. Everything is documented, and a self-starter can learn it. It is not highly technical. It requires being comfortable with Microsoft Windows knowledge and knowing how to use a desktop and commands. Someone with basic knowledge can pick it up easily.

We use the Copilot integration in Microsoft Intune which helps protect our environment. We are using the Enterprise Application Management features of Microsoft Intune. These features have improved our abilities in app discovery, deployment, and automatic updating. The Advanced Endpoint Analytics in Microsoft Intune has improved and helps us proactively detect and remediate anomalies in endpoints.

Everything about Microsoft Intune is something that I value the most. It is something that I use for employees, whether for new starters or anyone who makes a request. It is a requirement and a need, and it works great. So far, there have not been any issues. It performs very well.

The documentation and authentication could be improved. Sometimes, there can be issues where you have to restart multiple times. There have been instances where enrolling devices should take 10 minutes but ends up taking an hour due to various issues. Performance is something that needs to be worked on.

I have been using Microsoft Intune for around a year in my career, not necessarily in this job, but overall.

Sometimes there has been instability such as crashing and downtime. This happens as part of business operations.

The scalability of Microsoft Intune can be good at times and off at others, so it falls somewhere in between.

I have not had to contact their support.

Neutral

My initial introduction to Microsoft Intune was straightforward because everything was written and documented, so it was simply a matter of following their instructions.

We have used an application called Pyrus as an alternative. That is software our company purchased, and it actually helps.

I followed the documentation from my colleagues and have used some documentation from Microsoft. The Microsoft documentation is adequate. I do not know the pricing of Microsoft Intune, as that is not something I manage. When I joined my current company, Microsoft Intune was already in place, so my role was to enroll new devices and distribute them to new people.

On a scale of 1-10, I rate Microsoft Intune a 7.

We deploy Microsoft Intune for clients and give them support for 

The main use cases for Microsoft Intune among our customers currently include migrating a client that was initially with Dell; they were using a Citrix solution along with other solutions. We migrated all the infrastructure on Azure, and they have almost 400 to 500 users. We have registered users' laptops and desktops with Microsoft Intune. I integrated them with Entra ID and Active Directory authentication. We are providing them support with managing all the devices, including their laptops, mobiles, and PCs with Microsoft Intune, along with all the policies and other configurations.

The most useful features of Microsoft Intune for our customers include centralized management; administrators can access all device reports, which devices are expiring MFA, which are not using MFA, device details, and other important information. All details about users and devices can be accessed through a centralized portal and dashboard. That is the main feature.

Regarding user experience, Microsoft Intune is very user-friendly. We need to register the device with Microsoft Intune through the Company Portal. When it's registered with the email, it comes to the management console on Microsoft Intune. We can manage all the devices from the portal, and users are very satisfied with no issues. They only require assistance with daily routine tasks, but otherwise, everything runs smoothly.

It’s already a strong application and management tool, and the team is continuously improving it. Everything is progressing smoothly, and our policy allows for certain configurations to be made easily.

There could be some improvements regarding additional features and integrations in Microsoft Intune. Microsoft Intune works with Entra ID. If there is an option for a client with 100 PCs or laptops that are not on the Entra ID domain, it would be good. It should work without a domain. Microsoft Intune works with the Entra ID domain, with the domain ID, with the email ID. There could be some kind of feature that supports a workgroup environment or a separate environment without the Entra ID.

I've been working with Microsoft Intune for five years.

Our customers have not faced any issues with the stability of Microsoft Intune; it's very stable. When they change devices such as laptops and mobiles, we need to register again and remove from the portal, their MFA, and other configurations. Otherwise, it is fine with no significant issues. It's very reliable and scalable.

In terms of scalability, Microsoft Intune performs exceptionally well. This solution is scalable. 

As technical professionals, we rarely need support. We handle issues ourselves, but whenever there's a need, we raise a ticket with Microsoft to get issues resolved and convey solutions to the client. If we have solved the issue through the Microsoft portal, we raise a ticket and provide the input from Microsoft to the client regarding what the issue was.

Positive

Our customers evaluated other tools before working with Microsoft Intune, as they migrated from ManageEngine and other management devices to Microsoft Intune. They saw advantages that led them to choose Microsoft Intune and Entra ID, so they migrated all the infrastructure and found it better than other management tools.

For tech-savvy individuals, the process is straightforward. You simply need someone with technical expertise to handle the portal, making device registration easy. There’s nothing complicated about it. 

Microsoft Intune is not too expensive; it is bearable for the clients and fits in their budget.

I would recommend Microsoft Intune to others. It is a very good and scalable solution. Every person, client, or company that has infrastructure with more than 100 or 200 devices will find it very easy to manage all their devices, mobiles, laptops, PCs, and network devices from the same dashboard and panel. All the information in the portal and dashboard makes it good for them.

I would rate Microsoft Intune a nine out of ten.

We operate call centers and provide our agents with laptops that they use from their home environment or home offices. We use Microsoft Intune to manage those laptops remotely. This remote management accounts for 99 percent of our use cases.

Microsoft Intune has effectively managed our patching needs, resulting in very few system-wide issues. While a small number of laptops occasionally fail to receive updates, the vast majority are patched successfully without manual intervention.

Microsoft Intune has enabled us to effectively manage our laptops, which is crucial for our involvement in civilian federal projects. The platform allows us to maintain a necessary security patch level and address any bugs that may arise, ensuring our devices are always secure and functional. Implementing Intune provides a cost-effective solution that would otherwise be prohibitively expensive.

Our Intune users, the IT group and system administrators, are happy with the system and have not reported any complaints.

The most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is patching-related capabilities. This is because patches are constantly being released, and it requires us to stay current with bug-related and security-related patches, which is critical for our day-to-day operations. Intune's support in this area is crucial for us to maintain our laptops at a certain security patch level.

A more incisive reporting tool with automated progress updates and graphical representation would be beneficial, as the current manual method lacks efficiency and visual clarity.

I have been using the solution for about a year.

The stability of Microsoft Intune is ten out of ten. It has been very stable for us.

The scalability of Microsoft Intune is ten out of ten. Although we are not the largest company, it has never presented any scalability issues for us.

The customer service is above average. We have an Azure engineer on staff who handles troubleshooting. Although we have not had any major issues.

Positive

The initial setup is straightforward. We manage everything in-house with just a few commands needed before deploying laptops, never having to reconsider our processes.

We do everything ourselves without using a reseller or consultant.

We have never operated without Microsoft Intune, but it is apparent that it offers significant cost reductions. Operating without it would likely be prohibitively expensive, indicating a ninety-nine percent reduction in cost with Intune.

The alternative to Intune, sending out replacements for every issue, is prohibitively expensive. In contrast, Intune's pricing is reasonable considering its benefits and the high costs it helps avoid.

We evaluated other options that are tool-specific. For instance, our call center platform from NICE's CXone, has built-in Copilot-like capabilities. Nevertheless, Copilot remains our primary focus as it covers our entire spectrum of needs.

I rate Microsoft Intune nine out of ten.

We recently started using Copilot and find its support features very attractive. Our call center agents are internal customers who, like any customer, need occasional assistance with various issues. Copilot could benefit both IT and non-IT departments by providing faster service, self-guided troubleshooting, and access to relevant resources. For example, if an agent has an HR question, needs help with benefits, or experiences a technical issue like audio problems with their laptop, Copilot could guide them with self-service options or provide helpful files. This would empower our agents to resolve issues independently and efficiently. Our initial analysis suggests Copilot may have the potential to protect our environment, though our assessment is ongoing and we haven't begun implementation. Preliminary findings indicate it will be a valuable tool.

Microsoft Intune is used for mobile device management, specifically for MDM. The implementation was done in-house without working directly with Microsoft or local partners.

Microsoft Intune offers almost everything that an MDM solution has to offer, and recently the gap between Mac computers and other devices has been closed. The ability to push software to end devices is particularly valuable.

I am using the Enterprise Application Management features of Microsoft Intune Suite, which includes software deployment and related functionality. Since Microsoft Intune is used predominantly for MDM, when anybody enrolls through the company portal, their mobile device automatically goes through a BYOD process and enforces all required app and security settings at a very fine granular level. For example, users cannot copy content from Outlook or Edge to WhatsApp or other third-party tools.

Microsoft Intune needs to support out of the box Apple Managed Device and Apple Business Managed Device with zero-touch deployment capabilities, which is something competitors provide.

I would appreciate a blueprint feature for company-owned devices, not BYOD, where the blueprint would automatically configure everything from scratch. This could be modeled similarly to what exists for Apple business enterprise solutions, allowing for a copy-paste approach.

I have been working with Microsoft Intune for the past seven to eight years.

I have not noticed any issues with the stability and reliability of Microsoft Intune, though this does not mean there has not been any downtime. There could have been downtime, but it has not been noticeable.

Microsoft Intune is brilliant for scalability and is excellent for scaling purposes. While my organization has a relatively fixed user base, I am aware from experience that this product scales effectively.

The technical support and customer service team of Microsoft are really good. With premier support from Microsoft, my experience has been brilliant.

For mobile management, I have used BlackBerry in the past.

There are significant differences between Microsoft Intune and BlackBerry products, both in terms of cons and pros. From a security perspective, Microsoft Intune is brilliant, and while BlackBerry is very good with security, Microsoft Intune offers operating system based containerization provided by iOS, whereas BlackBerry has its own proprietary containerization. This proprietary approach gives security teams a sense of safety. These are some of many differences, though my knowledge of BlackBerry is dated and I cannot provide extensive detail.

The deployment of Microsoft Intune eight years ago was pretty straightforward. Enabling it provided instant access, and I did not face any problems. The setup was very intuitive.

Microsoft Intune is definitely cost-effective because I have an E5 license that includes this product. If I were not using it, it would not be cost-effective, but since we are actively using it, it is becoming cost-effective.

Microsoft Intune comes along with the E5 license package.

Microsoft Intune Suite's cloud PKI for certificates is not being used.

Copilot in Microsoft Intune is not being used, though Copilot is used generally as an interface with Office applications, including the Office extension with Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. For example, I can tell Copilot to create a presentation and it will generate something for me. Copilot is not being used for security purposes.

Microsoft Intune is used with Azure cloud, and there is also an integration with SCCM.

Microsoft Intune has only an administrator experience rather than a user experience interface, and it is pretty adequate. Microsoft Intune is user-friendly.

There are a couple of aspects that Microsoft Intune could make easier. I would appreciate a blueprint feature for company-owned devices, not BYOD, where the blueprint would automatically configure everything from scratch. This could be modeled similarly to what exists for Apple business enterprise solutions, allowing for a copy-paste approach.

The decision to implement Microsoft Intune was made because of the E5 license. The overall review rating for this solution is 6.

We use it to manage our mobile devices. It is being used for security, compliance, and deployment.

The user experience is good; we could work and deploy many controls through Microsoft Intune. It is easy to handle.

Compliance and security policy setup comes with the tool itself. Co-management allows us to have a single platform to handle different devices such as domain-joined endpoints.

We need more granular level control on on-premise resources management. If we have more control on device-level configuration policy setup, it would be beneficial. Since the devices are configured over the Internet, whatever policy we apply from the compliance portal does not reflect immediately on the endpoint. The Azure AD joined endpoints take considerable time to see the policy. We need to implement some controls immediately, but it takes time to sync the endpoints and get the policy applied. That is one of the concerns. 

I have been using Microsoft Intune for the past four years.

It is stable. We do face challenges from the downtime, but it is manageable with the support service agreement. 

Microsoft Intune scales with the growing needs of my organization.

We do get support, but we struggle in conveying the issues to the right support team to address our concerns.

Positive

Before Microsoft Intune, we did not use another solution. This is the only solution we have used for Windows. Since we are using Windows devices, it makes sense for us to use Microsoft Intune to manage our Windows devices and control and apply the baseline policies set by the organization.

I participated in the deployment of Microsoft Intune. We didn't have any challenges.

We manage our MDM devices through our top direct configuration, which is the only option we have with our environment for managing all Windows MDM devices through Microsoft Intune.

Every module has a different pricing model based on the license and the options we choose. The controls are available, but the pricing varies for each module. If you want to have complete control, you have to spend more on Microsoft Intune with different licensing modules.

I have not explored any alternate solutions so far.

I am using Microsoft Copilot in Microsoft Intune along with other office products such as Teams and email. I have not used Copilot in Intune, but it can be leveraged for technology-related troubleshooting.

We have endpoint protection with EDR solution and detection and prevention. We are utilizing the Microsoft E5 license. 

I would rate Microsoft Intune an eight out of ten.

My use cases for Microsoft Intune are to secure our mobile license and our platform.

What I appreciate the most about Microsoft Intune is that it's quick and easy to use from an authenticator perspective. There is simplicity in securing our platform. Microsoft Intune benefits my company because of its simplicity of use and cross-functional integration.

The user experience of Microsoft Intune is good because of its cross-functionality and simplicity of use.

Automatic updating is pretty rough. It doesn't give me as much control as I had in the past. With no ability to control release cycles, it's been more difficult for major IT organizations. They can give comfort to those who are using the utilities with predictability on when new releases are coming. There should be more predictability in the release cycle.

We don't feel we have any control over when new updates come out, and whether there are changes to the backend functionality or to the user interface. Updates just happen. When updates are visible to end users, organizations get the call, not Microsoft. Since we don't have a good amount of communication about when those come out or what the new features are before they're deployed, we're caught flat-footed. We have to get to our reps to see what the updates were. A much more proactive communication cycle, aside from just putting it out on Twitter, would be fantastic.

They can continue to improve security. Factoring in all the compatibility pieces and security components, there's more improvement to be done outside of Microsoft-specific products themselves. There are multiple operating systems out there. It has gotten better in the last couple of years. However, the reason that RSA and this big conference exist is that we need to have some cybersecurity capabilities above and beyond the standard that comes with the operating system, so an industry has formed around it, and with that, we can get more focused on that part of the product specifically.

I have been using Microsoft Intune for approximately six years.

The reliability and stability of the Microsoft Intune platform are pretty good. I can't say the same thing about Teams, but Microsoft Intune is really good.

Microsoft Intune scales absolutely with the growing needs of my company. When scaling, it's great.

The technical support for Microsoft Intune is really good. I would rate them a ten out of ten.

Positive

We migrated from a mobile and endpoint solution to Microsoft Intune.

Deployment of Microsoft Intune was pretty straightforward and easy.

The biggest return on investment when using Microsoft Intune for me is inter-compatibility with everybody.

It's a bit expensive from a licensing perspective, especially as we look to have organizations with tenants across the globe. Whether in multiple commercial environments or as a clear defense contractor, there are times when we have multiple different user accounts, and we have to pay per seat. It would be great in the future if we were able to automatically associate those types of things within the licensing model.

Before choosing Microsoft Intune, we considered other solutions about six years ago.

I would rate Microsoft Intune overall a seven out of ten. They could continue to improve on the security aspects. 

The main use case for Microsoft Intune is for approximately 150 end users in a nonprofit organization where I have implemented it.

The best feature of Microsoft Intune is that it managed the endpoints. Microsoft Intune is the endpoint management tool that allows us to keep the apps updated, push the app to the endpoint, and manage them. Management became easier with Microsoft Intune.

I switched away from Microsoft Intune because it cannot manage the MacBook very well.

I have used Microsoft Intune for approximately five years.

Microsoft Intune is stable.

Microsoft Intune is a scalable solution.

Microsoft has no support available. There are only two or three support options, and Microsoft never has support for that. They only provide documents.

Negative

We are not using Microsoft Intune anymore. I used Microsoft Intune last year, and then we changed to something else.

My experience with the deployment of Microsoft Intune is easy. Microsoft has very detailed instructions, and everything is on the cloud, which makes the deployment easy.

Good documentation was available.

The pricing for Microsoft Intune is cheap with no additional cost.

We moved to Enable. Enable can manage all the devices really well, including the MacBooks.

I did not use the cloud PKI with Microsoft Intune. I used Copilot but not Copilot for Microsoft Intune last year. Copilot did not help at all with Microsoft Intune for us. The main benefit of Microsoft Intune is that it comes with Microsoft, which was the major reason we tried it. Microsoft Intune was reliable for us mostly. I gave this review a rating of 5.
