Microsoft Intune Primary Use Case

Gaurav Chandola - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Associate Specialist at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees

Microsoft Intune is used for Mobile Device Management. We enrolled our mobile devices as well as the mobile device solution for corporate devices. We have a lot of policies such as the compliance policy, and the conditional access-based policies for the corporate mobile user and we use the solution to assign their  Outlook Teams and other configurations for the organization. 

We use Intune to design compliance policies that apply to corporate devices and to wipe data from devices when users are terminated. Intune is also used for mobile-based solutions, but we have recently explored its capabilities by using the Autopilot feature. With Autopilot, Windows 10 devices can be reset and new versions of Windows 10 can be deployed from Intune.

We use it for general safety and security for all our data and applications.

Because we are using Microsoft Office 365 on the cloud, it is very critical for us to protect our user data. We have shared files in OneDrive, Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint, and Word. We also have geographically diverse locations across Asia-Pacific, Europe, and America. Microsoft Endpoint Manager protects us from all kinds of security vulnerabilities and threats to our data.

We have it deployed in specific departments and divisions within our organization, including product engineering and DevOps.

Microsoft Intune serves as our central platform for device management, ensuring timely patching and secure access through conditional controls.

We leverage Intune to automate device onboarding, ensure patch deployment and device compliance, and generate compliance reports. We prioritize patching devices identified as non-compliant through these reports.

Intune is a tool for managing configurations and policies for devices. It has additional benefits like monitoring and enforcing security measures. It helps us ensure that the devices we provide to our users are perfectly controlled so that data isn't leaking. For example, I can enable BitLocker to encrypt data on all employee devices. All laptops in the organization require antivirus software. Any laptops without antivirus are non-compliant, so I can block them in Intune

I can also use Intune to lock down specific activities on mobile devices. When people access their email, Microsoft Teams, or OneDrive on their mobile devices, I can enforce a policy that prevents them from copy-pasting data from the corporate email address mailbox to their phones. I can also block screenshots. 

We have nearly 100,000 users across multiple locations. That's one benefit of Intune. We can cover devices at several locations with a single cloud-based solution. 

The great part about Microsoft Intune is that we can target for Android/IOS/Windows devices with full control. We can also enroll Mac and Linux OS and enforce certain configurations and get compliance reporting. This provides us a key criteria for zero trust deployment model.

We were using SCCM to build and manage our machines and to control the AV, and everybody left the offices for the pandemic. We did not have an external management point. Oh. And we realized we lacked a method of control. After hassling Microsoft over a question of semantics, we finally got our answer, and we quickly scrambled over two weeks to push out Defender while everybody was still in the office. The other part was to move toward Intune. 

We started testing that and went in both directions. We tried domain and nondomain. We eventually worked backward, redid it again, and took all of our workstations off the domain. Now, none of our workstations are running on the domain. We build everything from Intune. The company gets a list ahead of time from vendors like Dell or HP, so we can have a laptop sent directly to an individual without ever touching it. They sign in, and it simply asks for their password.

The primary use case for Intune is to enable user access to authorized data and applications like Outlook and Microsoft Teams, whether they are using corporate devices or their personal ones. By enrolling these devices in Microsoft Intune, users gain access to organization data, effectively turning their device into a mobile office laptop.

One plan that we are currently testing for the near future is related to our BYOD fleet. Instead of opting for MDM, we have decided to use Microsoft Intune to manage access to our company through BYOD. Moreover, we plan to use Microsoft Intune to perform autopilot PC deployments in the near future.

We had two distinct issues we needed to resolve with Microsoft Intune for two different use cases. Firstly, for the BYOD scenario, we needed Intune to ensure a sufficient level of security while enabling users to bring their personal mobile devices. Secondly, we aimed to automate PC deployment, even when users are not connected to the network, due to the COVID pandemic and the increase in remote work. Currently, to reimage a machine, users must be on the network. Our goal is to enable them to reimage their machines from home, using autopilot.

I'm an IT manager contracting with a European company. We had to onboard Windows machines to the Azure AD, but they did not have an on-prem AD. I prepped the Azure AD on the cloud, and I started to migrate the laptops to Azure AD. 

Once that is done, we need to apply policies, but group policies will not run from Azure AD because there's no on-prem AD to derive the policy from. Intune comes in handy there. It has multiple capabilities. You can create your configuration profiles in Intune that apply to Windows and Mac. You can create security profiles and configuration profiles, and you can apply browser settings to some extent. It isn't a small tool in terms of size or breadth of capabilities. It's very capable. Anybody who has used SCCM will see a lot of similarities.

We use Intune to manage mobile devices and applications. I'm not solely using Intune for the agents installed on each machine. I use the Microsoft Endpoint Manager solution primarily for device configuration, device compliance, and mobile application management.

I have 80 different clients, and their environments vary. We have people that work in offices across multiple foreign countries and domestically. Most have a strictly cloud-based deployment, but a few have a private cloud that we host ourselves. Some have their own data centers. I've got a couple of clients with hybrid environments. None of them are entirely on-prem. Everybody is using a hybrid cloud or completely on the cloud.

Pratik Dave - PeerSpot reviewer

Our primary use of Microsoft Intune is for device management and improve security. Initially, it focused on management for Windows devices. However, over time, its capabilities have expanded to encompass mobile device management in general, as well as management for other platforms like iPO, Android and Mac OS devices.

To ensure our devices are manageable regardless of location, we transitioned from an on-premises device management solution to Microsoft Intune. This cloud-based approach allows us to manage devices from anywhere, eliminating the need for them to be on our company network or VPN. Intune empowers us to remotely take actions on devices, including software installation, user identification, performance checks, and even triggering a remote lock if a device is compromised.

We are still launching it. We have about 85% of our PCs in Intune. We have only got two or three conditional access policies and compliance policies in place.

We are using it for endpoint management for basically getting control. Our next step will be to launch Autopilot. We will use Intune Autopilot and then also security policy management and group policy management. We will also use it for updates and patching compliance.

During the pandemic, there were devices that we couldn't control. For example, we wanted to manage BYOD and make sure that they are secured so that when they access our corporate resources, our data, computers, users, and mobile devices are protected. We use Intune to publish some of our company applications and at the same time push down our restriction policy and configuration profiles, such as VPN.

Enterprise Computing Services Manager at a government with 10,001+ employees

We use it to a small extent for approximately 1,100 devices. The biggest portion of it is used in the Aviation department, which is one of our departments. They have invested heavily in some customized software that they've developed in-house. It is put on the devices, and the devices are primarily used by field staff. It's basically a mixture of work order assignment and work order management, as well as record keeping. For example, I could have a technician who is assigned to go and do a preventive maintenance inspection on an HVAC component in one of the terminals. That request or work order is submitted to his device. When he gets there, he scans barcodes for the room he is in and for the piece of equipment that he is working on. So, they track their actual work order, work order status, workloads, and equipment life cycle, and that's all done through Intune.

They can set up their devices anywhere with an internet connection, whether at home or another location.

Security is also enhanced. By using Intune as a mobile device management solution, we can implement security controls and restrictions on endpoints. Intune helps us achieve a balance between user experience and security.

We are going to use Intune for registration and then we're going to use some kind of condition policies for resource access for unmanaged devices. With on-prem AD-based access, when the users are working from home or somewhere else, they need to connect to the VPN or something to access the corporate network, whereas, with Azure and Intune, we are going to provide the resources for application access. We can directly provide them access by using conditional policies.

It has been only three months since we took the Azure subscription and migrated all the users to it. We are running it in the production environment. We are not running it in the testing environment. We are not implementing everything in one go because if any issues happen, it's not easy to roll everything back in minutes. For this reason, we're implementing them one by one.

Microsoft Endpoint Manager is simply a desktop, a laptop, a smartphone, or a tablet. An endpoint is exactly what it sounds like. Microsoft, on the other hand, makes use of that tool.

Endpoint allows you to deploy the operating system level. It enables the packaging and deployment of applications. It enables you to secure systems with BitLocker and incorporate things with Active Directory.

We are a consulting firm.

Our clients use it to simplify desktop builds and to maintain the patch management on their servers and desktops, as well as to have an easy mechanism for both rolling out BitLocker, which is a Microsoft tool and publishing new updates for their various software packages.

System Engineer at a tech services company with 201-500 employees

When using Microsoft Intune our main focus was on Office 365. Our Azure Active Directory was only held up for users. When we had implemented the endpoint user management in our workstations in a cloud environment, then we started to use Microsoft Intune on an everyday basis, such as remote connection, deploying workstations, Autopilot, and deploying applications. It is a great tool.

Microsoft Intune is a cloud solution. For an on-premise solution, you have SCCM from Microsoft. However, it is old and it will be an obsolete tool soon. There are other solutions such as ManageEngine. Microsoft Intune tool is in the cloud and we can manage everything. You can manage Azure AD, Intune, and not only mobile hand devices, such as iOS or Android, the main focus is on workstations. This is what makes the solution powerful.

Chief Technology Officer at a tech services company with 51-200 employees

We're an MSP, and our primary use case is for fleet management; our entire fleet is handled through Intune, so all our mobile devices are logged in through the Azure portal, and we can manage our apps that way. We've been able to lock down our devices and control our field of frontline workers.

Solution Architect at a computer software company with 10,001+ employees

We use Microsoft Intune to manage mobile devices or tablets, or Windows devices from anywhere. Intune is the best solution through which we can completely manage mobile devices and Windows devices. There are two options for that. We can manage or directly control the whole mobile device and provide security at the application level—for example, MDM and MAM.

We primarily use the solution for remote workforce systems that are not connected to the VPN, to flexibility deploy software, and operate system upgrades and policies, as well as pushing scripts to the devices. Pretty much just about anything that we can do in Intune, we're going to be doing. If we're not doing it already, we will be doing it.

System Engineer II at a financial services firm with 201-500 employees

I use Microsoft Intune to manage iPhone devices that we currently deploy to the end-users, and I manage all that. Right now, we're running close to about 60 devices. 

But eventually, what we want to do is go ahead and enroll the Windows platform on that as well because there's only one license per user that can deploy up to five devices. That is going to be my next migration roadmap. We're going to be managing laptops through it as well. So it would be Windows 10 platform along with the iPhones.

Typically, for customers that tend to come from a transportation logistics background, it's essentially free or the TCO is literally non-existent. It's a good fit for our resume offerings. Anywhere between 50 to 200 users is a typical use case that we see, where they're leveraging the product for low subscription costs.

It helps me to safeguard my identities in terms of conditional access. If a person is using it from outside the office, there would be MFAs that are mandatory. However, the moment they're inside the office, they're probably not using it. There are MDM features, which are my corporate-owned devices. It can be used for MA features and for BYOD scenarios. I have tested it on VPN certification authentication and it works in those areas as well.

The solution affords data protection on mobile device management. It also provides functionality for data protection on one's laptop and desktop. But, this requires a different ecosystem for the provision of full data protection. A person can utilize this if he has a cloud proxy and something in his infrastructure.

SK
Associate Architect-Information Security at a tech services company with 51-200 employees

We are VMware and Microsoft partners, so we offer services around their products.  

We are using Intune internally but we are leveraging it for our customers as well. That is a different story. One part of Intune is within our company, but we are also providing services around Intune and Workspace One for our customers.  

For us, Intune is on the public cloud. For our clients, it depends on the requirements and it varies from customer to customer. Some clients' requirements are deployed in private cloud mode or the hybrid setup. It depends. Requirements differ from industry to industry. If a company is BFSI (Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance), then they will be looking for a private cloud solution. If it is something which is not BFSI or maybe some industrial interest, they might go with the public cloud.  

In the end, most of our instances are in the public cloud unless there is some compliance requirement. Otherwise, the accounts are mostly in the public cloud to conform to regulations.  

Intune is used essentially to facilitate the ability of enterprise organizations to manage their endpoints. It is for end-user computing or UEM (Unified Endpoint Management) solutions.

We use Microsoft Intune for application deployment and for some of their security policies and end-devices policies. We also use it for patching. Patches for Windows 10 devices and MacOs, we're still figuring out what to do because we don't have many options on Intune for Mac operating systems. Patching and looking for OS deployment as well. Operating system deployment.

Within our organization, there are roughly 150 users, using this solution.

We use Microsoft Intune on a daily basis. What Microsoft does, is it releases patches every month. The device hash reports to Microsoft Azure Intune. If you want it to receive patches or policies, which you have created on Intune and you have deployed, then the device will receive the policies and patches only if it's online and connected to the internet. Whenever the device is online and connected to the internet, it's connected to Intune. You don't have to worry about having an additional agent or anything on your devices.
