Find out in this report how the two Remote Access solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Maturity makes it a stable product."
"The Autopilot feature is fantastic. It is a Microsoft product, so it deals best with Microsoft operating systems, but it can integrate with iOS, Mac OS, Linux, and Android."
"It is a helpful tool to manage BYOD policies."
"The ability to wipe data from and reset devices is one of the most important and valuable features. If a device is reported stolen, we can freeze it or wipe the data from it, preventing data leakage."
"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."
"Fortunately, now everything is streamlined into a single, unified platform."
"It is a very helpful solution."
"The key benefit of Intune is its integration with the Microsoft ecosystem."
"We have scaled the solution and find this easy to do."

"The solution is really fast."

"There are a lot of small use cases where we realized that some technical solution was missing in Microsoft in comparison to other products. For example, it lacks something similar to sensing or location-based rules and configurations."
"Once it's configured it is unobtrusive, but it does take some hands-on to configure and deploy it properly."
"An area for improvement is the absence of seamless integration, particularly with external dashboards."
"Data leak prevention can be integrated into it. Currently, it does not have data leak prevention."
"They need to integrate more with security options."
"I know that their AI pieces are at the infancy stage, but allowing users to do more tagging for information would be an interesting thing because Intune also directly integrates with Azure. Because a lot of the devices are hosted with that, you also get a lot of tagging of user data and other things like that."

"The stability could be improved."
"The product is not very scalable."
"Microsoft Desktop Services is stable but it takes up a lot of resources in the CPU. It's a bit heavier than some solutions."
