Find out what your peers are saying about Red Hat, Microsoft, HCLTech and others in Configuration Management."It provides control over all mobile devices that are being connected to the corporate network."
"A valuable feature is user enrollment, where users can enroll their devices in their organizations themselves."
"The central administration con dashboard is very easy to use and provides very good oversight on all that needs to be monitored."
"Intune is effective because of the configuration management and endpoint security it provides. The graphical interface makes it easier to configure and deploy devices."
"While I don't think you can ever have full visibility and control, Intune certainly allows us to see the applications being used and tells us if things like Windows patches aren't applied to machines. It does a good job. That visibility makes life a little easier."
"Stable solution at a good price."
"Autopilot is the most valuable feature."
"Users can make screenshots, and devices only need the minimal version of iOS."
"The most valuable feature is the impact analysis."
"Helps me perform changes in connected infrastructure thanks to the discovery features."
"Deploying an app can be a complex process due to dependencies."
"The most important thing is reporting. They should improve their reporting. They should give a free hand to users. In SCCM, I can create my own reports. For example, in SCCM, I can create an inventory report for my PC or for all PCs, but in Intune, we don't have an option to create any report. Microsoft claims that Intune is a successor of SCCM, but SCCM is more powerful than Intune. So, they should develop Intune more and make it equivalent to SCCM. Then, their product will be great in the market."
"The reporting is subpar. That's the only issue we have with Intune. We use another solution for that purpose."
"They need to integrate more with security options."
"The pricing can be expensive if you are not combining it with other products."
"What would make this product better is adding more security policies and features in the next upgrade."
"Reporting and troubleshooting for the application deployment could be better. It's very difficult to understand."
"I wanted to check if there is any provision at the Intune level to restrict certain things, such as a website, but unfortunately, that feature is available only in Microsoft Defender. Intune has web filtering capabilities, but they are only useful for protection from malicious websites, whereas we would like to be able to restrict a website. For example, YouTube is a clean website. No one would identify it as a malicious website, but if we want to stop the end-users from going to that website, we have to go for another product, such as Microsoft Defender or another third-party proxy solution. It would be great if this capability is included in Intune."
"The native UI should be simplified because it is outdated and a little bit over-complicated."
