Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, VMware, ManageEngine and others in Unified Endpoint Management (UEM)."The central administration con dashboard is very easy to use and provides very good oversight on all that needs to be monitored."
"One of the standout features of Intune is its seamless accessibility to work data, eliminating the need to be tied to an office or a desktop."
"By using Microsoft Intune we can control which websites the users can go to and it provides a secure environment for our employees using their laptops that are having access from home. We have installed Intune to control the user's environment minimizing the chances of any hacking."
"It is a very helpful solution."
"The biggest thing for us is enforcing logins only from devices that are managed by Intune."
"There are so many features, but Windows Autopilot is one of the features that are very valuable for most customers."
"The most valuable feature for us is the security, including risk analysis and patch management."
"The security-related tools are excellent; these features allow us to secure devices, lock them down, and ensure compliance."
"They have good push authentications."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"The most valuable features of Okta Workforce Identity are SSO, MFA, and beneficial feature sets."
"Valuable features include UD, SSO functionality, MFA and Adaptive MFA functionality, ability to link multiple Directory databases with UD."
"Its simplicity and its integration with various vendor-agnostic platforms are the most valuable features."
"The MFA part is the best. MFA provided most of the security that we were looking at with respect to the second level of authentication. Okta Workforce Identity provides a number of options with respect to multifactor authentication, such as the app, phone call, and text. These options provide different ways of logging in for users, and they were a lot more than what we needed. This is certainly a very good feature of Okta Workforce Identity."
"I am able to authenticate my users on cloud and SaaS applications such as Workday through Okta workflows."
"The most valuable features of Okta Workforce Identity are MFA, and SSO, which have high security."
"The Mac integration has room for improvement."
"In future releases, I would like to see better integration with Apple products."
"Intune does not provide real-time visibility."
"The reports that are generated aren't so great. They don't give a lot of meaning so far, but that could be down to user knowledge than the actual reporting side of things. I'm not a big user of it, but I was a bigger user of MaaS360, and we used to be able to run weekly and monthly reports. In the case of any deviations. we'd get a warning immediately. That's not so easy to do or to get in place for Intune. This could be just a user issue, but when I compare both, that's the only thing that's lacking for me."
"The product needs to upgrade itself when the server is overloaded."
"There is still a gap between SCCM and Intune, especially in the reporting, inventory, and software deployment areas."
"Intune lags all of its competitors in terms of report generation."
"The installation is very easy. However, to be able to configure it you will need special knowledge, such as training or self-studies to have a proper level of security. There are many settings one has to understand before being able to implement Microsoft Intune."
"The solution's user interface needs to be improved and made easy."
"We have experienced some challenges in integrating this solution with Scope and Cognito."
"On the admin side, we can create our own passwords instead of generating one, which is usually difficult to explain to a user."
"The only aspect in which it can be improved is that the interface could be cleaner. I found this even when I was trying to do my certification exam because the certification is hands-on. You find yourself fumbling around a little bit to find simple things. This happens even when you start to get familiar with the product."
"In my country, there's a lot of stealing of mobile phones, and mobile phones are the authentication device through the Okta application. If someone should steal my mobile phone, which is very common in my country, he or she might have access to my company account. That's my concern."
"RESTful Web Service calls and their response seem a bit slow."
"The product does not offer enough integration capabilities."
"SSO and MFA for improved end-user experience, and protection against password spray attacks, account password self-service."
