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."

    Patch, secure, and automate every endpoint in your hybrid IT environment from the cloud. Device patching and endpoint management can be time-consuming and create vulnerabilities in your IT environment without the right tools.

    KACE Cloud by Quest eliminates infrastructure challenges, saves time, and maximizes resources with automated cloud-based patch management – including third-party application patching. IT Managers can now secure corporate-owned and bring-your-own devices (BYOD) with a wide range of features while easily automating endpoint tasks with KACE Cloud endpoint patch management.

    And when integrated with the KACE Systems Management Appliance (SMA), KACE Cloud MDM helps streamline your transition to unified endpoint management, giving you visibility into your inventory of traditional and mobile devices from the same interface.
