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."I like its order management feature. It doesn't have the kind of threat intelligence that Palo Alto has, but the order management makes it much simpler to know the difference."
"The solution is very stable. When comparing it to other environments, it's actually quite impressive."
"Among the most valuable features are the DDoS protection that protects your virtual machines, the threat intelligence, and traffic filtering."
"The most valuable feature is threat intelligence. It is based on filtering and can identify multiple threats."
"The solution has many useful features. For example, the solution allows users to create virtual IP addresses."
"Performance and stability are the key features of this product."
"The solution can autoscale."
"We use the solution for application and server deployment."
"Conditional access helps me control uncontrolled access."
"Being able to manage the devices remotely is most valuable. We can push security requirements through Microsoft Intune."
"The many policies available in Microsoft Intune for managing our devices are valuable."
"It provides control over all mobile devices that are being connected to the corporate network."
"One of the biggest advantages of Microsoft Intune is that it brings the management of Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and even Linux under a single pane of glass."
"For the price, the features included with Microsoft are appealing."
"As the solution is a software as a service, the scalability is unlimited."
"The most valuable features in Microsoft Intune for me are application deployment, Defender deployment, and asset management."
"There are a number of things that need to be simplified, but it's mostly costs. It needs to be simplified because it's pretty expensive."
"Azure Firewall should have a free trial version for new users so that they can evaluate it before deploying it."
"This solution is not mature when it comes to handling perimeter traffic like internet browsing."
"They can improve the pricing of Azure Firewall."
"Azure should be able to work better as a balancer also, instead of just being a firewall. It should have a wider mandate."
"The reporting, logging, and monitoring features, as well as the flexibility of the policies, need to be improved."
"An Azure firewall is not a real firewall."
"It would be nice to be able to create groupings for servers and offer groups of IP addresses."
"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."
"They should improve its compatibility with other operating systems such as iOS and Linux. It supports Linux but they still need to work on the iOS part."
"In the next release, I would like a feature to be able to properly lock down the device. For example, if an attacker or somebody steals the phone, you can be sure that the pin cannot be broken."
"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."
"Microsoft Intune lags market leaders, such as Apperian, in its MAM capabilities."
"I know that their AI pieces are at the infancy stage, but allowing users to do more tagging for information would be an interesting thing because Intune also directly integrates with Azure. Because a lot of the devices are hosted with that, you also get a lot of tagging of user data and other things like that."
"It's only good for a Microsoft environment."
"The reporting is subpar. That's the only issue we have with Intune. We use another solution for that purpose."
