We're using Microsoft Intune for MDM (mobile device management). It's also used for securing devices. This solution also lets you access your corporate data on mobile devices. You can secure and ensure that whatever data you're accessing and using from mobile devices is in a secure channel, that the data is between your end user and your cloud provider. There are certain policies you can set up, that can go on both the device level and application level.

Our main use cases with Microsoft Intune are about how we automate the deployment. Auto-pilot is a feature that we normally recommend. Another piece is about the package deployment, where we recommend, or have helped, customers in deploying and converting their Win32 application. These are the two main areas in terms of automating the enrollment and Win32. Another use case in terms of the Apple, which is being used more by the customers, is where we recommend them to go for the zero touch process by using the AD.

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.

We primarily use the solution for device management. There are a lot of use cases, however, the base is the mobile security for our corporate devices and deployment of applications. We are a worldwide organization and in many countries. There are also country-based use cases, or areas that incorporate these use cases for some specific business units such as healthcare and similar SAP solutions. We have a lot of small areas where we use this, however, the main driver is improving the security of the devices and providing some automation configuration for the users including VPN solutions and corporate WiFi connections, applications, et cetera.

Generally, we use it with banking, finance, or government entities, usually medium to large customers. We also have smaller customers who are dealing with sensitive private data and therefore are interested in running Intune on top of their Office 365 licensing.

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.

I work for Mastersystem Infotama who is a Microsoft partner. I am an engineer, and I deploy Microsoft Intune in several companies. Our customers use Intune for their mobile device management. We also use Intune to protect devices accessing the application's corporate data. First, you must be compliant with the same criteria. If users connect with the corporate IP address, they only connect with username and password. But if they connect from a coffee shop IP address or IP addresses that aren't corporate, they will have to engage in multi-factor authentication.

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.

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.

We are a consulting agency and we help people make technology and business decisions. Our environment is fully online and we're a Microsoft 365 shop. We are using Intune for security. It is their MDM for mobile devices, but it is also their application ADM and it works on desktops as well. We primarily use it to maintain compliance for our customers. They require that we use it to enforce compliance with the same level that they do internally, so we're following the compliance guidelines of several Fortune 100 companies. Intune is what we use to meet those requirements.

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.

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.
