Dynamic groups enhance security while cumbersome deployment process needs refinement
Pros and Cons
- "Dynamic groups allow us to set conditions for automatic membership, eliminating the need for user intervention or manual review and ensuring a seamless workflow."
- "Dynamic groups allow us to set conditions for automatic membership, eliminating the need for user intervention or manual review and ensuring a seamless workflow."
- "Microsoft Intune's app deployment presents challenges for non-MSI and non-store apps, particularly EXEs, requiring the use of a Win32 wrapper tool and adding overhead to the process."
- "Microsoft Intune's app deployment presents challenges for non-MSI and non-store apps, particularly EXEs, requiring the use of a Win32 wrapper tool and adding overhead to the process."
What is our primary use case?
We use Microsoft Intune to manage mobile devices for our parent company and our independent subsidiaries. These devices are not directly corporate-owned but belong to individuals or subsidiaries with whom we work. We enroll both their and our corporate devices in Intune to manage policies, ensure optimal security settings through compliance reviews, and deploy a VPN client for secure access to our internal network resources.
How has it helped my organization?
Microsoft Intune has provided valuable insight into the status of our independent computers, which previously lacked a management agent and had no standardized security policies. We could not enforce password expiration policies, hardened passwords, or even minimum password requirements, with some users relying on six-character passwords. By enrolling these devices in Intune, we have enforced more robust security measures, such as a minimum eight-character password length, and gained visibility into device compliance to ensure adherence to best security practices for data protection.
The Intune user experience is good, especially with the many improvements made to the web interface over the years. It has always been designed as a simpler interface than Configuration Manager, and Microsoft has done a good job in achieving this goal.
What is most valuable?
Dynamic groups are more efficient than static groups, which require manually adding members. This was cumbersome, especially when onboarding new people, as it necessitated manually adding them to the appropriate groups. Dynamic groups allow us to set conditions for automatic membership, eliminating the need for user intervention or manual review and ensuring a seamless workflow.
What needs improvement?
Microsoft Intune's app deployment presents challenges for non-MSI and non-store apps, particularly EXEs, requiring the use of a Win32 wrapper tool and adding overhead to the process. Additionally, deploying device-specific installers, such as VPN clients, is complicated by the inability to target users directly, necessitating knowledge of device names that may not be readily available. Furthermore, the web interface lacks detailed information for MDM-enrolled devices, such as the user's UPN, requiring the use of Graph Explorer API and necessitating Global Admin consent to access device properties. Enhancing app deployment, enabling user-targeted device application deployment, and improving the web interface, particularly for MDM-enrolled devices, by providing comprehensive device information and customizable columns, would significantly streamline Intune's usability.
Microsoft Intune should enhance flexibility and features to better match the granularity available in systems like SCCM.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Microsoft Intune for over five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Microsoft Intune has been stable, and I have not noticed any specific stability issues. While we've encountered problems with other services like Exchange, Intune has remained unaffected.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Scaling Intune is challenging due to the various device types we manage. Our parent company's mobile devices were already enrolled, and we've added our independent Windows devices, with plans to include corporate devices soon. A key hurdle is the lack of visibility into user attributes in Intune, hindering our ability to create dynamic groups effectively. Ideally, we want to automatically segregate devices based on user properties like primary use, but currently, dynamic groups seem limited to device properties. This forces manual group assignment after user enrollment, which is inefficient and reliant on user notification. Improved dynamic group functionality, particularly the ability to leverage user attributes, would significantly streamline device management.
How are customer service and support?
Customer support has been reasonable overall. However, there have been cases, such as issues with BitLocker recovery keys, where support was less effective, leading to multiple hand-offs and delays.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Before Intune, the independent devices were unmanaged without any agent. For corporate devices, we previously used SCCM.
How was the initial setup?
The initial deployment of Microsoft Intune was fairly straightforward, despite a few challenges due to our unusual configuration of two on-premise domains syncing to our Azure tenant. This dual user sync caused issues because some users remained on the older domain, leading to conflicts when automated systems modified on-premise account attributes. These modifications triggered Azure to switch the sync to the other account, resulting in login failures for users with cached credentials from the old account. While we've mostly identified the cause and the fix, we still encounter this issue occasionally.
What about the implementation team?
The deployment was handled in-house. Our organization benefited from having skilled personnel and guidance from our parent company.
What was our ROI?
The return on investment includes successfully distributing applications like a VPN client and Office 365. As a result, independent devices now have better application access, encouraging even non-enrolled entities to request Intune enrollment.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We considered Tanium for managing independent devices, but it's a comprehensive endpoint management tool with more functionality than we needed. Management felt it would introduce unnecessary overhead. Since all our corporate devices are currently managed with Intune, adding independent devices would require segregation. Ultimately, we opted for Intune due to its ease of use, allowing us to create targeted policies from scratch.
What other advice do I have?
I would rate Microsoft Intune a seven out of ten.

It helps consolidate our endpoints, simplifies mobile device management, and provides a smooth user experience
Pros and Cons
- "Intune significantly simplifies application deployment, mobile application management, and policy enforcement, such as restricting user access to specific applications, thereby enhancing overall environment security."
- "Since GMS is unavailable in China, we currently rely on device administrator enrollment for managing Android devices there."
What is our primary use case?
We use Microsoft Intune to manage mobile devices across almost all platforms, including Android, Windows, and Linux, which was recently added just a few months ago.
Previously, we relied on on-premises infrastructure using SCCM to manage mobile devices alongside other tools. Intune is a cloud-based solution that empowers administrators to manage cloud devices, implement policies, and deploy applications. While other MDM platforms exist, Intune is a top choice due to its feature set.
How has it helped my organization?
Microsoft Intune consolidates our endpoint and security management tools into a single platform. While still under development with new security features on the horizon, the current capabilities offer administrators ample tools to fortify the environment.
Intune simplifies mobile device management by consolidating endpoint and security tools into a single platform. This centralized approach enables IT administrators to efficiently manage various aspects, including Windows updates, Wi-Fi and VPN policies, application restrictions, and user account creation, all within the Intune interface, significantly streamlining the overall management process.
The user experience is quite smooth for most users because administrators handle all necessary configurations. Options like Windows Autopilot and zero-touch deployment enrollment significantly simplify the process, minimizing user intervention and effort required to set up and use devices.
I currently support Microsoft admins and have handled numerous cases related to Enterprise Application Management. Many companies utilize this tool to manage their in-house applications. While not all companies employ this method, most larger organizations do. These companies often deploy their enterprise applications using Intune, which offers a feature that allows admins to protect application data through mobile application management policies. To enable MAM, applications must be wrapped with the Intune Software Development Kit to communicate with Intune services. This process is valuable as it empowers admins to safeguard sensitive data. Intune provides SDK options for both iOS and Windows applications.
There are two methods for automatically updating the application: independent updates within the application itself or updates to the application package managed through Intune. The chosen method depends on the enterprise application's configuration. Recently introduced Azure application registration simplifies the process by requiring registration before deployment, enhancing security through authentication.
We utilize advanced endpoint analytics within the Intune suite, and the recent release of Windows Autopilot's version has expanded the range of analytics tools available to administrators. While Intune provides data on devices and users under its management, more in-depth reports can be accessed through Log Analytics or Azure Monitor. However, Intune's analytics are sufficient for gathering reports on managed devices.
The advanced endpoint analytics feature within the Intune suite allows us to access detailed information about our devices. This includes data on device counts, specific settings for bulk administration or devices, and the ability to filter devices based on our needs.
I have experience with several MDM solutions. While Microsoft Intune is excellent for managing thousands of user devices, it may not be ideal for specific use cases like bulk printer or Jabra device management, which could present challenges. However, Intune shines in organizations with large numbers of users, especially when integrated with existing on-premises infrastructure or SCCM. This integration can streamline operations and reduce staffing needs. For example, a ten-person IT team might only require two to five people dedicated to Intune management with on-premises support. While I cannot provide a full sales pitch, I confidently recommend Intune to anyone seeking a robust MDM solution.
Copilot in Intune is valuable when integrated with back-end data, such as our existing tools and libraries. This integration empowers administrators to assess information effectively. However, the tool's effectiveness hinges on the quality of data input and query formulation. As users are still familiarizing themselves with Copilot, its adoption varies across environments, with some users enabling it and others disabling it.
Copilot in Intune simplifies IT operations by quickly responding to inquiries about integrated systems. Users won't need to search for specific details as Copilot offers a variety of solutions.
Intune offers more than device management; it also aids in user management. Regardless of the platform, Intune provides various options for device enrollment. Intune prevents mixing personal and corporate data, whether using a corporate or personal device. It also offers robust security features, enabling granular control over user access to applications, resources, and other tools.
In a hybrid environment, security management depends on whether devices are co-managed and how policies are configured in Intune. Intune offers various features, including remote actions, to address these scenarios. However, I discovered an issue with BYOD devices on iOS: wiping an enrolled device deletes all data, not just corporate data. This is a problem that needs to be addressed internally.
With the endpoint privilege management feature, the admin can create an EPM policy. If a user tries to access a resource, the admin will be prompted to grant or deny access based on the policy.
Suppose I need to access data, logs, or files on a Windows device that a global administrator restricts or requires approval for. In that case, I can configure an EPM policy to remind users that additional authorization is necessary. For instance, I encountered cases where users frequently mistakenly assigned test applications to production environments. To prevent this without restricting access or privileges, we configured an EPM policy to prompt users specifically when assigning that application to a production environment. This approach demonstrates how EPM policies can be tailored to address various requirements.
EPM provides an additional layer of authentication for accessing a resource, application, or permission. For ASR, we can define rules by which users can access the resources.
Intune has significantly improved productivity by simplifying tasks like certificate authority restoration. For example, using a deployed CA server certificate, I've set up a Wi-Fi profile with auto-authentication. Previously, expiring certificates required manual reissuance, but Intune automates this process by revoking certificates when they approach their expiration threshold. This threshold, configurable within the certificate profile, can be set as a percentage of the certificate's lifespan. A revocation request is triggered when the threshold is reached, ensuring a new certificate is issued for the device or user profile before the old one expires.
Intune's integration with Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Security for both cloud and co-managed devices is beneficial because it offers a centralized platform. We can directly assign licenses within Intune instead of using the separate M365 admin portal to create users, simplifying the process. Intune synchronizes features and functions from M365, streamlining management. However, purchasing new licenses still requires accessing the admin center. Despite this, Intune effectively synchronizes information to endpoints.
What is most valuable?
While conditional access isn't solely limited to Intune, we can also effectively implement and manage conditional access policies through Azure. However, Intune significantly simplifies application deployment, mobile application management, and policy enforcement, such as restricting user access to specific applications, thereby enhancing overall environment security. Furthermore, Intune automates numerous tasks previously requiring manual configuration by administrators, streamlining the process by creating simple policies for desired outcomes.
What needs improvement?
There are specific devices we can focus on. For example, due to GMS restrictions in China, we face limitations. However, BlackBerry UEM can enroll Android devices as Android Enterprise, though the exact method is unclear. We could explore whether Intune can replicate this functionality. Since GMS is unavailable in China, we currently rely on device administrator enrollment for managing Android devices there. This suggests potential opportunities to develop solutions or collaborate with Chinese partners to create new features within Intune for managing Android devices in the Chinese market.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Microsoft Intune for three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
While some specific tenants experience occasional outages and bugs, our monitoring team is actively tracking an upcoming issue affecting certain tenants in specific regions. Both the support and broader teams are diligently working to resolve this. Aside from this, Microsoft Intune is demonstrating overall stability.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
If an organization has the budget, they can easily scale Microsoft Intune.
How are customer service and support?
Microsoft's technical support for Microsoft Intune and the broader Microsoft environment consists of several tiers. Customers can choose between broad commercial support, Pro support, or Premier support, the latter including dedicated Customer Success Account Managers and Incident Managers to facilitate access to specialized engineers. Support engineers are categorized into levels one, two, and three. We collaborate weekly with global subject matter experts to address ongoing issues and cases. For complex or backend problems, we engage the product group using a specific request form. While Microsoft previously employed support staff primarily in the US and Canada, they now utilize vendors in India and the Philippines, offering varying levels of expertise. To enhance support quality, Microsoft should invest in training these engineers and consider opportunities for full-time employment, rather than incurring the costs of recruiting and training new staff.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
How was the initial setup?
An organization migrating to the cloud typically requires an Azure subscription as a starting point. While our FastTrack Team offers full migration solutions, IT administrators can also independently move operations to the cloud by purchasing an Azure subscription, tenant, and licenses and configuring policies, privileges, and workloads. Existing on-premises infrastructure can be synced to the cloud using Azure AD Connect, enabling management within a hybrid or pure Azure AD environment. The ease of migration depends on the administrator's experience, and Microsoft support is available for those requiring assistance.
One to two solution architects are enough for the deployment.
Several factors influence the time required for deployment. For instance, with a user base of 100, deployment can be achieved within a week. However, environments with thousands of users and devices, especially on-premises setups, present greater challenges. Customers or administrators migrating to the cloud and adopting Intune often follow a phased approach. They typically start by deploying and testing a subset of policies to assess manageability and feasibility before proceeding with application deployment. As a result, the overall deployment timeline varies significantly across organizations and can extend to several weeks.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Microsoft services are slightly more expensive than competitors but offer advantages and disadvantages. Even if they charge a premium, they aim to provide equal value.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I have experience with SOTI MobiControl, Jamf Pro, and AirWatch. SOTI MobiControl excels at managing specific devices, offering a list of compatible models upon request. Intune, however, struggles with printer management and Zebra device compatibility. Its network security features are limited due to ongoing development, and it lacks in-built policies for third-party applications, hindering compatibility and communication with external devices and manufacturers. While custom policies can be implemented, comprehensive built-in options would be beneficial.
What other advice do I have?
I would rate Microsoft Intune eight out of ten.
Intune requires no maintenance after initial deployment, but ongoing subscriptions are necessary for each user as individual licenses are needed monthly. Microsoft continually updates the service to support the latest operating systems and applications, so ensuring our environment is up-to-date is crucial for optimal performance.
Microsoft Intune is a good tool, and to simplify operations, I recommend a full cloud environment over a hybrid environment.

Pros and Cons
- "I would recommend Microsoft Intune to others; it is a very good and scalable solution."
- "There could be some kind of feature that supports a workgroup environment or a separate environment without the Entra ID."
What is our primary use case?
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.
What is most valuable?
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.
What needs improvement?
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.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been working with Microsoft Intune for five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
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.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
In terms of scalability, Microsoft Intune performs exceptionally well. This solution is scalable.
How are customer service and support?
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.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
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.
How was the initial setup?
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.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Microsoft Intune is not too expensive; it is bearable for the clients and fits in their budget.
What other advice do I have?
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.

Microsoft Intune has helped by making additional access based on corporate owned devices or managed devices, which prevents our IT admins from accessing specific organizational resources unless using these secure devices.
Intune enables us to deploy applications to devices remotely without touching or interacting with the end user. We can also configure some profiles, like Wi-Fi profiles, for specific branches without additional configuration from the end user. It's easy for end-users to adopt changes or merge branches. Also, you can predefine the applications so they automatically download when the user joins that branch.
What is most valuable?
Microsoft Intune offers features such as mobile application management and always-on VPN for Windows, which are valuable for managing customer devices and ensuring efficiency. It also aids in application deployment and configuration without requiring direct user interaction, simplifying the integration of new devices and systems.
We use endpoint analytics to analyze the user performance on their machines or app crashes. We can also evaluate Windows startups to detect if there are some user problems or if it's their workstation performance. We can be more proactive about improving our user's work infrastructure.
We use enterprise application management for app patching, but it needs to include more applications. Some important applications are not part of the enterprise app management, but we hope they will be added soon. We appreciate the automatic updates and discovery of installed applications and older devices. Automatic patching will help us keep the devices and applications up to date to detect newly discovered vulnerabilities. Copilot helps us generate reports about compliant devices and software installed on specific devices. We can also track the device's compliance state.
What needs improvement?
Improvements are needed in Microsoft Intune's enterprise app management, including support for more applications in app patching, boot batching, and discovery. I also hope the cost of Remote Help will decrease because it's a much-needed Intune function. Our customers need that capability, or they will buy it from a third party at a premium.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have used Microsoft Intune for around three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Microsoft Intune is very stable due to its cloud-based infrastructure and its reliability in performance.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Microsoft Intune's cloud-based nature ensures it is highly scalable, supporting a large number of devices without performance issues.
How are customer service and support?
We do not often rely on Microsoft Support. Sometimes response times can be long, but generally, they are helpful in resolving issues.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Previously, we used solutions like ManageEngine and Endpoint Central. We switched to Microsoft Intune to better support enterprise customers needing fully managed devices like iPads for secure environments.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup of Microsoft Intune was straightforward, thanks to its various enrollment methods.
What about the implementation team?
We are a consulting partner, providing implementation services for Microsoft Intune.
What was our ROI?
We've seen a return on investment through enhanced security, as Intune allows access to critical systems only through corporate-owned devices, integrating well with Microsoft’s ecosystem to protect company assets.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The default capabilities of Microsoft Intune are reasonably priced, but the Intune suite and add-ons, such as batch management and remote help, are costly, leading customers to consider third-party options.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Before switching to Microsoft Intune, we considered ManagerEngine. Eventually, the decision focused on Intune specifically to meet enterprise requirements.
What other advice do I have?
I rate Microsoft Intune eight out of 10. I deduct a couple of points because key features like application patching and Remote Help need to be purchased separately.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Hybrid Cloud

Pros and Cons
- "The most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is patching-related capabilities."
- "The stability of Microsoft Intune is ten out of ten."
- "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."
- "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."
What is our primary use case?
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.
How has it helped my organization?
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.
What is most valuable?
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.
What needs improvement?
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.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for about a year.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The stability of Microsoft Intune is ten out of ten. It has been very stable for us.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
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.
How are customer service and support?
The customer service is above average. We have an Azure engineer on staff who handles troubleshooting. Although we have not had any major issues.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
How was the initial setup?
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.
What about the implementation team?
We do everything ourselves without using a reseller or consultant.
What was our ROI?
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.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
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.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
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.
What other advice do I have?
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.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
