Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It provides control over all mobile devices that are being connected to the corporate network.""Remote Wipe and Autopilot is one of the best features.""I can see that the patch management process is much improved with the bundled patch management option available in Microsoft Intune compared to the KPI deployment required by the other deployment solutions.""The synchronization of Intune with other Microsoft solutions is a valuable feature.""It is quite policy-enabled, so you can build pretty much any policy to manage remote endpoints.""It works well if you have a Microsoft environment.""It is user-friendly, and the performance is also good. It is a convenient product""Among the most valuable features are the Company Portal that is built into Intune, and the update rings so that we can manage what types of future updates the devices get."

More Microsoft Intune Pros →

"The initial setup is super easy, it takes like two minutes. Literally a one-click deployment.""The solution is scalable and provides over 100 rules.""Installing the instances and performing upgrades is smooth and clean."

More AWS Config Pros →

"The solution's initial setup is straightforward. The deployment process took me around ten minutes to fifteen minutes.""It offers excellent scalability.""Spring Cloud integrates well."

More Spring Cloud Pros →

Cons
"The configuration and pricing can be improved.""I'd like some more reporting so that I don't have to delve into PowerShell and I can pull more of the local device information such as memory, apps installed, etc. It would be nice to be able to see the apps that are present there but might not be managed. For example, if they installed 7Zip, it could report that back via an installed program or feature to see what was currently installed.""They need to add more group policies. Intune currently does not have many group policies that you can deploy. Its reporting, which is very limited at the moment, also needs improvement. It will be great if they can add report customization. Its stability needs to be improved. Sometimes, when you register a device in Intune, it doesn't show up instantly on the engine portal on the admin side. They need to provide better support for complicated issues. They also have a long turnaround time.""They can improve their MAM policies a little bit more and make them more granular. They should include more granular group policies. They are there, but they need to be more granular. Its stability should also be improved. It is not very stable. Sometimes, it shows some inconsistencies across tenants.""The biggest problem we ever have is when something goes out of date after 30 days when nobody has logged into it. We do have a problem trying to get those back online. We've been working with Microsoft to resolve that problem, but that's been the only issue that we've had in the last few years.""It would be beneficial to have a more straightforward understanding of Intune's capabilities, presented in a simplified manner.""Lacking in features such as Wi-Fi and network security.""The installation could be improved to be simplified."

More Microsoft Intune Cons →

"There is room for improvement in built-in tools, they are not up to the mark.""The reboot process for AWS instances could be improved. Microsoft Azure does not have this problem, so AWS could consider making their instances more robust. You would not need to reboot your instances frequently to replace the hardware and stuff. They can look for a better approach or mechanism to improve in the future. The concern is that you need to plan for the outage when you reboot an instance. You need to have a maintenance window where you can properly reboot the instance without affecting your application. When Amazon announces that you need to reboot an instance and are not ready, this becomes a problem.""The solution is missing a configuration that can assist us when writing our programming languages."

More AWS Config Cons →

"If there's a dashboard like the ones provided by Apigee or Kong, that will be useful.""It would be beneficial for the framework to become more lightweight and efficient when transitioning to the cloud.""Stability is one area in the solution that needs to improve."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Microsoft Intune stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Two major ones are its ability to secure all devices under its management and the flexibility that the solution offers its users.

    A computing services manager notes, "Its security is most valuable. It gives us a way to secure devices, not only those that are steady. We do have a few tablets and other devices, and it is a way for us to secure these devices and manage them. We know they're out there and what's their status. We can manage their life cycle and verify that they're updated properly."

    The head of IT engineering at a financial services company writes, "The one feature we find most useful is the Mobile Application Manager. There are two types: we have the complete MDM and the Mobile Application Manager (MAM). We don't give our users phones, it is their own personal phone, and we need to allow them to have access to the company details on their phone. We need to create a balance between their own personal data and the company data. We deploy the Mobile Application Manager for them so that we won't be able to interfere with their own personal data."
