We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | |
It helps implement conditional access policies to restrict mobile users from accessing potentially dangerous emails. The aspects I find most valuable are the managing the data and applications. I can also restrict the users to install any applications. I can also wipe the data if the phone was missplaced or stolen. These are the basics for me. It is a very helpful solution. We have a BYOD policy, and this solution helps us manage our devices. It is a helpful tool to manage BYOD policies. In terms of technical support, you will get an immediate response. It's really easy to access. ...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. | The management and enrollment process is great, and with the asset management and instant action menu, we can easily maintain and support the users. |
Cons | |
Intune should be much more granular in terms of supporting more Android cellular devices. I think there should be a better tracking of the cell phones used on the Intune. I think that there is room for improvement with the reporting. If this is done, it will be a better product. There are a few security features that are not available in Microsoft Intune, when compared to other products. There are a couple of issues with stability. I would like to see micro VPN. I like the way that some of the other providers have done something similar where, as you open that app on an end-point device, it creates a micro VPN straight into your device, which is quite a nice little feature. Also, Microsoft Intune relies heavily on its fellow products in the suite. It would be nice if Microsoft Intune could stand on its own two feet. It needs incorporation of Knox, ZeroTouch, etc. It needs certificate provisioning for S/MIME purposes. | We would like to see graphics showing the use of each device. |
Pricing and Cost Advice | |
The product is offered as part of a Microsoft standard bundle. The pricing can be competitive to Airwatch, and Maas360. I have no comment on pricing of the solution. The purchase of the product was handled by someone else. Microsoft Intune is a cost effective choice. It is less expensive than other products on the market. There is a cost benefit of using Microsoft Intune because of the packaging with other Microsoft products. | Information Not Available |
