We performed a comparison between Azure Key Vault and Microsoft Intune based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Microsoft Security Suite solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The initial setup is very straightforward. It only took a few minutes."
"Azure Key Vault is very affordable, with charges of less than a dollar for over ten thousand keys."
"The most valuable feature is that you can retrieve user account details from the cloud."
"It stores sensitive information in an encrypted way. We don't have to worry about data loss or data theft because no one can see our information."
"Among the features that have helped improve our security posture are storing secrets in a secure location to create a trusted situation, trusted resources, and incorporating identity access management so that we know who has access to what."
"I would say it's granular controller who can access them."
"The platform has a valuable feature for seamless integration."
"With Azure Key Vault, we can generate our own keys and then import them inside the system, which provides a higher level of security than provider-managed keys."
"The conditional access policies that we set up are very useful."
"One of the main features of the solution is it allows the management of many devices in different ways."
"The biggest benefits of Intune are the ability to push changes and the added security. When we moved forward with Defender, we onboarded all those machines automatically. That helps dramatically. For a while, we were left with machines that weren't protected. We could see where people had done things they shouldn't have done, and Defender saved our skins a few times. It didn't happen a lot, but it happened enough that it made us glad we made that decision."
"Based on my experience, I find Intune very flexible for managing Windows devices. We can use scripting, and we can make use of the self-service portal or the company portal to publish some of the applications for Windows."
"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 detail 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."
"For Windows services, there are multiple options within Intune to modernize it to be more internet-facing and dynamic."
"By using Microsoft Intune we can control which websites the users can go to and it provides a secure environment for our employees using their laptops that are having access from home. We have installed Intune to control the user's environment minimizing the chances of any hacking."
"The mobile application management, MAM, is the most useful aspect of the solution."
"If you check the capabilities of other key management services across Amazon, HashiCorp, and Google, there are features that Key Vault doesn't have. It could be the case that when you use Key Vault, you might be forced to use a third-party solution to get certain services. If those services could be included in Key Vault, there would be diminished reasons to go for a third-party key management system."
"There's room for improvement in cross-platform compatibility."
"The slow response from the support team is one of the shortcomings of the solution that needs to be improved."
"The solution does not allow you to integrate with XML parties if it is not inside Azure itself."
"We've experienced issues with configuration."
"There are additional charges for data transfers. However, the pricing is mostly reasonable for the licensing overall."
"It needs to offer dynamic secrets management."
"While it's very reliable in terms of stability, there's always room for improvement."
"It would be great to see on-premises mailboxes and for the solution to have geofencing capabilities."
"The reporting needs to be a bit more interactive."
"The solution can have some compliance problems in general and the end-point user can bypass easily the company policies in Intune."
"Onboarding of endpoint devices is not straightforward. The onboarding process was a little heavier than I thought it would be. That's the key improvement area. Obviously, the more control you have over the devices, the better it is."
"Microsoft Intune is not user-friendly to manage and has room for improvement."
"Data leak prevention can be integrated into it. Currently, it does not have data leak prevention."
"The reporting could be improved, as it's pretty poor compared to other products of this type."
"They need to add more group policies. Intune currently does not have many group policies that you can deploy. Its reporting, which is very limited at the moment, also needs improvement. It will be great if they can add report customization. Its stability needs to be improved. Sometimes, when you register a device in Intune, it doesn't show up instantly on the engine portal on the admin side. They need to provide better support for complicated issues. They also have a long turnaround time."
