We performed a comparison between Google Cloud Identity and Microsoft Intune based on our users’ reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Microsoft Intune has a slight edge over Google Cloud Identity in this comparison, mainly because it is the more user-friendly solution.
"I think the first thing that is great is that it gives you a lot of features, like login, and then vaulted passwords and secure LDAP. It becomes easier for the end customer to leverage all those features without going to a higher SKU of G Suite."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"Google is always on its own. Google Cloud Identity is pretty good on every point."
"The most valuable feature is that you can manage users from one central location."
"The most valuable feature of Google Cloud Identity is group access. You are able to assign policies to groups instead of users individually."
"Cloud Identity is scalable enough for our needs. It's serving more than 3,000 users in our organization."
"The tool provides a free service that you can integrate for laptop authentication. You also don’t need a separate Active Directory."
"I like the fact that it's integrated with the rest of the Microsoft products, so customers can manage it from their Office 365 portal or Azure portal."
"As the solution is a software as a service, the scalability is unlimited."
"Microsoft's cloud comes with a lot of extra features that are free of charge."
"Intune's security features for Apple iOS and Mac OS are helpful. We can check enrollment, manage public and private settings, and manage the organization's data using security key features."
"The dashboards, the security, and the customization capabilities work very well for us."
"Autopilot is the most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune."
"Autopilot is the most valuable feature."
"This product offers an alternative solution to other UEM (Unified Endpoint Management) solutions."
"Technical support is slow."
"The integration should be made easier."
"Google Cloud Identify could make the technology used easier to understand as a layman making it more user-friendly."
"We cannot manage the attributes of SSPR."
"Google Cloud Identity the UI could improve."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"The pricing for this solution is a little bit higher than AWS and others, which is something that should be improved."
"The solution's storage capacity could be increased."
"I would like to see the ability to deploy custom packages as a Windows 64-bit package, as opposed to the Windows 32-bit, which is the only one available now."
"It would be great if Intune offered better data protection controls for BYOD Windows PCs."
"I would like some integration with the Microsoft reporting platform Power BI."
"It would be good if, in addition to the minimal patching and compliance, we could also use Intune for application deployment. For instance, if a device is not patched, Intune should have the ability to push not only a Microsoft patch but also other patches, such as a browser patch."
"I expect Microsoft Intune to have more features in the cloud because there are two major functionalities that we need to be added. This is software metering and license management. These functionalities, for now, must be on-premise. For this purpose, we have set up a SQL Server and I hope that in near future this option will be in the cloud in Microsoft Intune."
"The configuration could be better by consolidating options and making it simpler."
"In future releases, I would like to see better integration with Apple products."
"The solution requires Mac support."
