Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"For the price, the features included with Microsoft are appealing.""...Intune itself integrates with that entire Microsoft ecosystem. As an individual product itself, it's okay. It holds up. But when you start saying "I've bought this as part of a wider solution, as a company we are going Microsoft throughout," then it makes more sense to have Microsoft Intune... so you have that single dashboard.""We already use a lot of Microsoft products in our company, and therefore, it made sense to also use this product.""The best feature is that we don't need to worry about downtime. We don't need to worry about the network connections of our office or the virtual private network. Everything is being done through the internet. Using Intune Autopilot, we can configure and deploy everything to the devices.""One of the most valuable aspects of Microsoft Intune is its seamless integration with Azure Active Directory, offering capabilities akin to Group Policy Objects.""I can reach devices or computers over the internet. I don't need to worry about the network connectivity between the offices. I can manage any device. That is the most important part.""I like the group policy management feature, which performs application monitoring and device enrollment.""The product has eased the deployment of Microsoft apps to the devices. We can manage it properly. We can control it and push the updates. Another company helped us with the deployment. However, we can do it internally."

More Microsoft Intune Pros →

"The cloud dashboard's analytics data is particularly valuable, giving me insights into user activities and making it easy to track and manage devices.""It's very easy to just keep adding devices as needed.""The solution is easy to use and support.""It's extremely competitive and very good for a product in this sphere.""The central management console on the cloud is fast and is the solution's most valuable feature.""The cloud manager is user-friendly, and I can manage everything from one dashboard.""The most valuable features of Cisco Meraki Systems Manager (MDM+EMM) are its ability to do geofencing for devices, manage thousands of devices with only a push of a button, and quick application deployment in seconds. It's amazing. For example, in an education scenario, you can deploy an application update for thousands of iPads in two clicks.""The best features of Cisco Meraki Systems Manager include its simplicity and ease of use. It is straightforward to set up and manage devices compared to other products."

More Cisco Meraki Systems Manager (MDM+EMM) Pros →

"It's effective in what it is able to achieve and it's easy to use.""The user interface is user-friendly.""The most valuable features of MobileIron UEM are tunneling and enterprise integration.""The most valuable feature is that everything is in one place, which makes it easy to manage.""The company provides great customer service."

Cons
"It's the granularity: 'Is your firewall on? Is BitLocker on?' It's not amazing granularity. But I've looked into other products, like Duo, and they're all similar.""Some enrollment features could be improved.""The feature that allows us to import the business application from the configuration manager to Intune is not very good at this time.""While Intune works perfectly well, the only potential downside is that the deployment could be a bit complex for some users.""There are a few security features that are not available in Microsoft Intune, when compared to other products.""The synchronization could be improved.""It would be better if I could integrate it with my core group policy. I would like to have a group policy in my current environment, which has strict control, but those things are still missing. Although it has maximum compliance and security, it's not available on-premise.""The main disadvantage seen today is regarding Linux clients. We have a lot of development resources that have Linux on their clients, and we can't manage them on the same platform, as we do with other clients such as macOS and Windows. So, it should have support for Linux clients. It should also have better support for macOS."

More Microsoft Intune Cons →

"The price could be better.""I would rate my experience with the initial setup a four out of ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy. It is more difficult.""Because Cisco has improved a lot and is competing with other technologies that are innovative and brand new to the market, the only improvements they have to make are to keep up with the current competition and remain competitive with other solutions.""The cost of installing this solution can be more expensive depending on who is doing the installation. Cisco is very expensive, and I'd like to see a reduction in cost.""In my opinion, the equipment availabilities and competitive pricings could be improved.""Meraki is limiting our connections.""Sometimes, the integrations are a bit tough.""It would be beneficial to have better integration with other OS."

More Cisco Meraki Systems Manager (MDM+EMM) Cons →

"The interface is complicated and not very easy to use.""UI needs an upgrade, feels very outdated.""We would like the initial setup to be simpler.""The integration between the MobileIron and Advanced Neurons isn't completely in sync, and we're still working on that.""MobileIron UEM could improve the monitoring of devices."

Microsoft Intune makes it possible for your team members to work anywhere using their mobile devices. Microsoft Intune provides both the flexibility and the control needed for securing all your data on the cloud, no matter where the device with the data is located.

    Microsoft Intune Device Management Key Features

    With Microsoft Intune Device Management you can:

    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."

    Every user is unique. Every device, a bit different. Systems Manager keeps the network in the loop about constantly changing devices, automatically tracking device posture and adjusting security policies to match.
