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."The solution has many useful features. For example, the solution allows users to create virtual IP addresses."
"The solution is stable."
"It's auto-scalable, which is a great feature."
"I think that one of the best features is definitely the premium version, along with the IDPs in terms of the intrusion detection and prevention system."
"It provided ease of maintenance. If a new firewall was needed, we only had to run the pipelines for this. So, the maintenance was very easy."
"It is easy for me to protect certain ports or even the IP addresses, as well as do whitelisting, blacklisting, and the FQDN when we want virtual machines connected and to protect certain websites."
"I can easily configure it."
"The solution should be capable of self-scaling, which is one of the features we like about it."
"Autopilot is the most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune."
"There has been a noticeable increase in productivity for both my organization and clients."
"It is a helpful tool to manage BYOD policies."
"One of the best features is Windows Autopilot because if you change any of your devices, whatever security policies and compliance policies that applied can be easily migrated to the new devices. Windows Autopilot gives you that flexibility."
"The solution is stable."
"The biggest thing for us is enforcing logins only from devices that are managed by Intune."
"It's not working perfectly, but Microsoft's Autopilot offers great visibility into automated deployment solutions."
"It's really easy to access."
"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."
"The threat intelligence aspect of this particular firewall is not at par with other providers."
"The reporting, logging, and monitoring features, as well as the flexibility of the policies, need to be improved."
"We find it's different implementing it region-to-region. It might help if it was universal across all regions."
"Azure has new versions including a premium firewall. But I would like to see them not put the premium features on Azure Firewall Premium alone because it is quite expensive."
"There is room for further integration of AI into the system."
"The product could be made more customizable."
"The solution doesn't offer the same capabilities of Fortinet. It should offer intrusion prevention and advance filtering. These are two very useful features offered on Fortinet that Azure lacks."
"Sometimes, updating a client policy is very difficult. This needs to be improved."
"We only have major classifications for iOS and Android, but there are different brands that have different cycles of updates. If they can fine-tune it to make it more brand-specific, that would be even better."
"I think there should be a better tracking of the cell phones used on the Intune."
"There is room for improvement, particularly in terms of compatibility, extending beyond the well-known major brands."
"Its configuration is fairly complicated. You have to do quite a bit of discovery to be able to deploy it for a customer. You have to ask them a lot of questions. So, its initial deployment is the biggest challenge. They should make it easier to deploy with the use of Wizards or something else. During the deployment stage, there could be profiles for the customers who are particularly wanting to use certain feature sets of Intune."
"We haven't really gone through all the features of Intune. We are just discovering them. Every day, we see a new feature that we want to apply, but what will be great for Intune is to be able to deploy apps in a simple fashion. We should be able to easily install various apps on the Windows platform, iOS, and Android. Currently, we have to write some scripts. It's not as straightforward as we would like it to be. It should be simplified so that we can do it just with three clicks—next, next, finish—without needing to write a script."
"Intune's areas for improvement revolve around security and certificate management."
"We faced issues with macOS support. The product should have better inventory and asset management."
