"Its protection policies are most valuable. It protects mobile devices as well as individual apps. It is pretty scalable, and its documentation is also pretty good. It is also pretty straightforward to deploy."
"I like the tool's integration with Apple. Anyone who creates an ID in Intune will get an Apple ID."
"Mobile device management is most valuable."
"Autopilot is a great feature. Most users are looking for a zero-touch deployment."
"The most valuable feature for us is the security, including risk analysis and patch management."
"The mobile application management, MAM, is the most useful aspect of the solution."
"Has a variety of automation options."
"AWS provides Auto Scaling groups."
"Systems Manager has a feature where it analyzes the logs and gives us a performance overview in the form of a graph. We know when it's taking up more resources and when there are spikes, so we can predict the usability."
"When we do the automation in the cloud, we use the SSM agent. This helps us to test our automation and documents, and monitor the cloud."
"The solution's ability to scale is good."
"With AWS Systems Manager, our company can patch our systems directly from it, so we don't need to patch our systems manually."
"The solution is user-friendly"

"The most valuable feature is the impact analysis."
"There is no catalog for mobile access management (MAM) security."
"The synchronization could be improved."
"The reporting could be improved, as it's pretty poor compared to other products of this type."
"It would be better if I could integrate it with my core group policy. I would like to have a group policy in my current environment, which has strict control, but those things are still missing. Although it has maximum compliance and security, it's not available on-premise."
"The scalability could be improved, and like most other MDM products, Intune is good but not 100% there yet."
"Microsoft Intune has a latency response time issue. The latency has room for improvement."
"Microsoft Intune could enhance its patch management for various devices, ensuring regular updates and tracking of device privileges."
"There is room for improvement in integration and security as well."
"The AWS UIs are not the most intuitive. Also, the usability needs room for improvement."

"Lacks sufficient integrations."
"The fact that AWS Systems Manager takes time to complete the patching process, makes it an area where improvements are required."
"AWS does not have EKS cluster backup."
"Additional features can be added as per customer requirements."
"The current challenge is that we can't pull any incidents from other accounts."
