We performed a comparison between Microsoft Defender XDR 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."Advanced hunting is good. I like that. We can drill down to lots of details."
"The Endpoint Manager is incredible; it has a very straightforward interface and is exceedingly easy to use. Pulling out and deploying different tags or resources is a simple task across various departments with different levels of security. The notifications are also simple and satisfying; it's great to see the bubble informing us which devices are compliant and which are waiting to update."
"Within advanced threat hunting, the tables that have already been defined by Microsoft are helpful. In the advanced threat hunting tab, there were different tables, and one of the tables was related to device info, device alert, and device events. That was very helpful. Another feature that I liked but didn't have access to was deep analysis."
"Microsoft Defender XDR is scalable."
"It has great stability."
"The common and advanced security policies for threat hunting and blocking attacks are valuable."
"The threat intelligence is excellent."
"We can automate routine tasks and write scripts to carry out difficult tasks, which makes things easier for us."
"One of the most valuable aspects of Microsoft Intune is its seamless integration with Azure Active Directory, offering capabilities akin to Group Policy Objects."
"The ability to switch between Affinity and non-Affinity enrollment is great."
"It works pretty well for us."
"I believe that the solution is actually in Gartner's top quadrant at the moment for mobile device management."
"Compliance and the policies that can be set are the most valuable features."
"It has a useful device management feature."
"This product works very well for companies already using the full Microsoft suite."
"The solution has reduced the risk of security breaches by 30%."
"At times, when we have an incident email and we click on the link for that incident, it opens a pop-up, but there is nothing. It has happened a couple of times."
"When we do investigations, it would be better if Microsoft could populate the host dashboard more. When we open any host for investigation, we want the entire timeline of what is happening on the host, including all the users logging in, their hardware, Windows version, etc."
"The design of the user interface could use some work. Sometimes it's hard to find the exact information you need."
"The support could be more knowledgable to improve their offering."
"Microsoft frequently changes the names of its products, sometimes even renaming entire portals or features."
"A simple dashboard without having to use MS Sentinel would be a welcome improvement."
"The support from Microsoft could improve. There are times I have to wait for a response from a qualified specialist."
"It would be helpful if the solution could scan faster when it comes to scanning attachments to emails."
"The pricing can be expensive if you are not combining it with other products."
"It would be nice to have a location tracker for the mobile device management tool. I'm not sure if it exists but hasn't been configured or if it's missing, but we've been unable to utilize the location features."
"The pricing could be improved."
"We would like to see support for Chrome and/or devices for Chromebooks."
"I have a lot of Apple products in my environment. It would be nice to have an improved integration of Apple products with Microsoft Intune without Jam."
"They could also make it easier to use because there are some other products that may be easier to use in terms of the look and feel of the dashboard."
"The installation is very easy. However, to be able to configure it you will need special knowledge, such as training or self-studies to have a proper level of security. There are many settings one has to understand before being able to implement Microsoft Intune."
"No option to do end-to-en macOS management. Slow implementation of policies."
