We performed a comparison between Google Cloud Identity and Microsoft Intune based on our users’ reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Microsoft Intune has a slight edge over Google Cloud Identity in this comparison, mainly because it is the more user-friendly solution.
"Cloud Identity is scalable enough for our needs. It's serving more than 3,000 users in our organization."
"The tool provides a free service that you can integrate for laptop authentication. You also don’t need a separate Active Directory."
"I think the first thing that is great is that it gives you a lot of features, like login, and then vaulted passwords and secure LDAP. It becomes easier for the end customer to leverage all those features without going to a higher SKU of G Suite."
"Google is always on its own. Google Cloud Identity is pretty good on every point."
"I used it as an administrator without implementing it myself. As for valuable aspects or benefits, the significant point is that it's a straightforward, single solution that just works."
"The most valuable feature is the performance."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"The main control page and the ability to manage all our users from a web-based portal are the most valuable aspects of the solution. That's particularly useful because we're a heterogeneous network."
"Being able to manage the devices remotely is most valuable. We can push security requirements through Microsoft Intune."
"Intune provides full visibility into all active mobile device users. If their devices are noncompliant with our security policies, I have the flexibility to update them remotely."
"Maturity makes it a stable 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."
"Intune enables us to manage our devices from anywhere."
"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 detail 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."
"The aspects I find most valuable are the managing the data and applications. I can also restrict the users to install any applications. I can also wipe the data if the phone was missplaced or stolen. These are the basics for me."
"It allows our clients to have the confidence to centrally manage policies for security. It helps them in securing the organization from a technology aspect."
"I want the tool to improve its support. It should also incorporate some functionalities. Currently, preparing presentations in Google is a pain point. The tool’s certain features like user provisioning are not intuitive as well. The product’s LDAP support is very poor. Clients do not trust the product due to the spam."
"We cannot manage the attributes of SSPR."
"The integration should be made easier."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"Google Cloud Identify could make the technology used easier to understand as a layman making it more user-friendly."
"The pricing for this solution is a little bit higher than AWS and others, which is something that should be improved."
"The management of external users needs to be introduced in the tool as it is an area of concern in the tool presently."
"The solution's storage capacity could be increased."
"The solution could improve by having better integration with Apple."
"The product needs to upgrade itself when the server is overloaded."
"The UI is not user-friendly and has room for improvement."
"Intune's third-party patch management could be better. It should be easier for the average system admin to keep non-Microsoft applications updated."
"There is room for improvement in integrating additional features such as Purview and SharePoint activities into Intune."
"The solution can have some compliance problems in general and the end-point user can bypass easily the company policies in Intune."
"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 solution could improve its flexibility."
