"Microsoft Intune lacks the ability to provide seamless remote assistance or remote control."
"The pricing could be improved."

"There needs to be more support for Mac operating systems."
"Could benefit from user having more control over devices."
"The biggest problem we ever have is when something goes out of date after 30 days when nobody has logged into it.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."

"Not many things are needed for improvement, everything seems to be great as it is. One thing that would be good to have would be the ability to add MDM to a tablet running Android 5.0 using the EMM Token Enrollment.
