Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Users can make screenshots, and devices only need the minimal version of iOS.""Easy to use.""The stability is good.""It helps implement conditional access policies to restrict mobile users from accessing potentially dangerous emails.""The best feature is that we don't need to worry about downtime. We don't need to worry about the network connections of our office or the virtual private network. Everything is being done through the internet. Using Intune Autopilot, we can configure and deploy everything to the devices.""One of the most valuable aspects of Microsoft Intune is its seamless integration with Azure Active Directory, offering capabilities akin to Group Policy Objects.""There has been a noticeable increase in productivity for both my organization and clients.""Compliance and the policies that can be set are the most valuable features."

More Microsoft Intune Pros →

"It's effective in what it is able to achieve and it's easy to use.""The most valuable feature is that everything is in one place, which makes it easy to manage.""The company provides great customer service.""The most valuable features of MobileIron UEM are tunneling and enterprise integration.""The user interface is user-friendly."

More Ivanti Neurons for MDM Pros →

"The initial setup process is straightforward and fast.""The remote management and cloud-based maintenance features of this solution are very useful for our organization.""The most valuable feature is the mobile device management capability. You can easily manage all of your mobile devices.""The management and enrollment process is great, and with the asset management and instant action menu, we can easily maintain and support the users.""The security features work well.""I like the level of interaction that the product offers with the other products in our company's environment.""The utmost importance lies in mobile security and its performance.""In terms of valuable features, we liked the lock feature, the roll-out white feature, and the find feature.

Cons
"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.""Lacking ability to leverage more iOS device management internally.""I think that there is room for improvement with the reporting. If this is done, it will be a better product.""It would be beneficial to have a more straightforward understanding of Intune's capabilities, presented in a simplified manner.""There is improvement needed in integrating with the installed Office solutions versions, such as Office 2019. The Office 365 integrates without a problem.""Intune's reporting and logging could be improved. When troubleshooting, it's difficult to collect the logs and determine what's happening. If I want to filter out the compliant devices, I can see it from the logs, but I would like the option to drill down further.""I'm still playing around with it and haven't had any issues with the product yet, but support can definitely be improved.""The scalability could be improved, and like most other MDM products, Intune is good but not 100% there yet."

More Microsoft Intune Cons →

"The interface is complicated and not very easy to use.""The integration between the MobileIron and Advanced Neurons isn't completely in sync, and we're still working on that.""We would like the initial setup to be simpler.""MobileIron UEM could improve the monitoring of devices.""UI needs an upgrade, feels very outdated."

More Ivanti Neurons for MDM Cons →

"For Sophos Mobile, it is difficult to get good support.""The product does not work well in iOS.""They continue to work on integration with mobile device management and mobile security. They are improving the protection but I think that the capabilities still need to be enhanced.""The features of Sophos Mobile could improve. The way the system works together could be better. Additionally, the integration with other Sophos products could improve.""The setup should be made easier.""It could be more secure.""We would like to see graphics showing the use of each device.""Our support reps are based in the Philippines, and it's hard to connect with them sometimes. It took me about two months to resolve my issue, so it wasn't a good experience."

    Overview

    Microsoft Intune is a comprehensive cloud-based service that allows you to remotely manage mobile devices and mobile applications without worrying about the security of your organization’s data. Device and app management can be used on company-owned devices as well as personal devices.

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.

    Microsoft Intune Device Management Key Features

    With Microsoft Intune Device Management you can:

    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."
