We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"With on-premises Active Directory, the main challenge was that we had no control when a user was working from home. We didn't know what exactly a user was doing and whether the AV was up to date or not. Intune provides better control of their machines.""The initial setup is not overly complex or difficult.""It is a very stable and scalable cloud-only solution.""We have not experienced any bugs or glitches with this solution.""...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.""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.""We are a remote company, and the product helps us manage the global endpoints. It helps us natively manage the endpoints in the cloud from anywhere.""There has been a noticeable increase in productivity for both my organization and clients."

"The product is centralized and we can use it for security purposes.""The solution is very good at securing files. For example, if I forward a secure document, it's blocked from others, as I can send it with restrictions in relation to who can open it.""Microsoft Mobility and EMS include Intune for Mobility, which provides mobile device management and mobile application management. With mobile device management, you can control the entire device in an organization.""The solution offers excellent documentation that is easily available online.""A good feature that is present is MAM or Mobile Application Management. We can deploy this feature on the device, which is not managed by the organization. If I apply some security configuration on a personal device, the user would be really disappointed. What we do instead is that we give all access to the applications related to corporate and ask the users to use the application. We secure the application by putting the security features on the applications and not on the users' devices. This way, the users are happy, and we also meet our company's compliance standards. Then, everyone is happy.""You can scale the solution up or down by department.""It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution.""Integration between our departments has been the most valuable."

More Microsoft Enterprise Mobility + Security Pros →

"The data collection is excellent and easy to do. It does not require a lot of configuration nor does it require rules to be written like other competitors do.""The most valuable feature is the security, in particular, the One Time Password support.""Roles, connectors for provisioning and re-accreditation or reviews help greatly to govern user access.""With the tool in place, you need to hire fewer people to provide access, and you have control over your processes.""RSA Identity Governance and lifecycles are good for the access certification and auditing sections."

Cons
"Intune's third-party patch management could be better. It should be easier for the average system admin to keep non-Microsoft applications updated.""The installation could be improved to be simplified.""It would be better if they can reduce the cost of the license.""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.""They can improve their MAM policies a little bit more and make them more granular. They should include more granular group policies. They are there, but they need to be more granular. Its stability should also be improved. It is not very stable. Sometimes, it shows some inconsistencies across tenants.""Sometimes, updating a client policy is very difficult. This needs to be improved.""It needs certificate provisioning for S/MIME purposes.""They need to add more group policies. Intune currently does not have many group policies that you can deploy. Its reporting, which is very limited at the moment, also needs improvement. It will be great if they can add report customization. Its stability needs to be improved. Sometimes, when you register a device in Intune, it doesn't show up instantly on the engine portal on the admin side. They need to provide better support for complicated issues. They also have a long turnaround time."

More Microsoft Intune Cons →

"The licensing is quite expensive.""Microsoft Enterprise Mobility + Security is expensive.""Its performance needs enhancement.""There are certain shortcomings in the licensing model of the product where improvements are required.""We did the deployment with the help of Microsoft's consultants. But sometimes, we found it difficult to educate the application developers to integrate.""Technical support could be improved. Sometimes they use a third party that's not so knowledgeable in the product and that can slow down things a bit.""The auditing and reporting could be updated and upgraded. I would like to see light applications because they consume a lot of the device's memory at present.""The licensing can be messy at times."

More Microsoft Enterprise Mobility + Security Cons →

"This product is missing a lot of features which other competitors are providing. One of the key features that are missing right now is risk scoring. Additionally, there is not much scope for customization - everything is hard-coded and predefined, so it does not allow the developers to make many modifications.""Technical support in Pakistan can be improved.""The user interface and workflow need improvement, and more connectors would help.""If you use the appliance version then it won't handle a huge database volume.""There are scalability issues. This product does not scale very well. It is not a good product for load balancing / active–active architecture.""RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle could improve out-of-the-box customization.""Every connector that you have in the product needs to be custom-built, so there are not a lot of standard connectors available in the product, because of which there are a lot of hidden consultancy costs."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Consider the Microsoft Enterprise Mobility Suite rather than choosing specific sub-components, e.g. only Microsoft Intune."
  • "There is a cost benefit of using Microsoft Intune because of the packaging with other Microsoft products."
  • "Microsoft Intune is a cost effective choice. It is less expensive than other products on the market."
  • "The purchase of the product was handled by someone else."
  • "I have no comment on pricing of the solution."
  • "The product is offered as part of a Microsoft standard bundle. The pricing can be competitive to Airwatch, and Maas360."
  • "For Microsoft 365 E5 clients, cost is not an issue as this product is one of the benefits."
  • "The price of Intune is included with the license for Office 365, so we don't have to pay anything extra for it."
  • More Microsoft Intune Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "I would rate pricing at eight out of ten. It is a bit higher because of the security features that Microsoft provides."
  • "We have to pay 10 dollars per user. I would rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten."
  • "The solution is cost-effective."
  • "The increase in the prices of the product might not be the actual problem, but things become complex with some new plans that were introduced by Microsoft recently."
  • More Microsoft Enterprise Mobility + Security Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Pricing varies based on user count/number of modules you need."
  • "We are using the cloud platform, but we don't find it compatible to be served as a multi-tenant platform. This is a large drawback. It becomes expensive because it is then an all-dedicated solution. You have to have a separate tenant for each client, which increases the cost. The overall unit pricing can be less expensive than how it is right now."
  • "I rate the product's price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

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.

    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."

    Microsoft Enterprise Mobility + Security (EMS) is the only comprehensive solution designed to help manage and protect users, devices, apps, and data in a mobile-first, cloud-first world.

    RSA SecurID provides world-leading two-factor authentication, protecting 25,000 organizations and 55 million users. RSA SecurID extends security to bring your own device (BYOD), cloud, and mobile as well as traditional virtual private network (VPN) and web portals. RSA SecurID solutions comprise three primary components: authenticator, platform, and agents.
