We performed a comparison between Azure Firewall and Microsoft Intune based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Microsoft Security Suite solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's helped us improve our security posture."
"The feature that I have found the most valuable is the control over the network permissions and the network."
"The solution has many useful features. For example, the solution allows users to create virtual IP addresses."
"All its features are good. That's why we recommend it."
"We secure the entry point to the virtual data center with the firewall."
"The firewall policy control, URL content control, and antivirus are all the most valuable aspects. Threat prevention is as well quite good."
"One of the notable advantages of Azure Firewall is its user-friendly interface, which closely resembles or shares similarities with other Azure components."
"One of the best features is that it natively integrates with Azure Services and tools. When you have a third-party offering, that is not the case. But Azure Firewall provides a comprehensive and seamless security solution for your Azure resources."
"Great for software update needs, operating system version updates, and security policy enforcement."
"The stability of Microsoft Intune is good."
"In terms of technical support, you will get an immediate response."
"If the product works, remote access will be a benefit. To this point we have not had reason to have confidence in achieving that access."
"We are using the mobile feature, and we are also using MDM to lock the devices, to push restrictions, et cetera"
"It's very informative when there is an error. It allows us to backtrace where the error is and resolve that ourselves. It's a bit of a Swiss Army penknife. We find that it fixes most issues."
"While Microsoft Intune boasts a wide range of features, its user-friendliness and bundled licensing cost are key considerations for me."
"The Microsoft Windows Autopilot and Defender policies are the most valuable features of this solution."
"We find it's different implementing it region-to-region. It might help if it was universal across all regions."
"The solution lacks artificial intelligence and machine learning. It might be in the roadmap. However, currently, it's not available."
"There should be better monitoring and logging. Currently, it is put in Sentinel. It should be more seamless and from the interface."
"The threat intelligence part could be better. I don't see why our customers have to get an additional solution with Azure Firewall. It would be great if they made it on par with Palo Alto."
"For larger enterprises, they need to adjust the scalability."
"It would be much easier if the on-premises, firewall rules, had some kind of export-import possibility in place, which is not the case right now."
"There is room for further integration of AI into the system."
"This solution is not mature when it comes to handling perimeter traffic like internet browsing."
"The mobile and tablet-based versions need improvement because they are not completely user-friendly, compared to the web version. Also, data synchronization with our existing asset manager, the synchronization between multiple assets and multiple devices, takes a lot of time due to the security scanning. It should be reduced."
"The product needs to upgrade itself when the server is overloaded."
"Sometimes, customers compare it with AirWatch, but the concept of Intune is different from other solutions. It's an application management app. It gets a bit difficult to explain it to customers, but it's not a product limitation. It takes a presale document or presentation to explain it to customers."
"There can be more logs. I do not have any other requirements."
"Lacks the ability to deploy more ways of management, managing devices and processing the policies."
"Intune has limited integration with non-Microsoft solutions."
"I'd suggest adding more features for macOS in Intune. There should be more functionality for managing macOS. There should be a better capability for pushing things down on macOS. Currently, Intune is not capable of managing macOS at the same level as Windows."
"The main disadvantage seen today is regarding Linux clients. We have a lot of development resources that have Linux on their clients, and we can't manage them on the same platform, as we do with other clients such as macOS and Windows. So, it should have support for Linux clients. It should also have better support for macOS."
