"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The product is easy to use."
"From an end-user perspective, the setup phase is easy."
"The most valuable feature is being able to securely connect and use virtual desktops."
"The most valuable features of Pulse Connect Secure are multi-factor authentications, and VPNs and SSL VPNs we are using."
"The tool's most valuable feature is remote access."
"Autopilot is the most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune."
"We have a BYOD policy, and this solution helps us manage our devices."
"Mobile device management is most valuable."
"It is a helpful tool to manage BYOD policies."
"It is a stable solution."
"Agile and easy to deploy MDM solution that covers the maximum number of policies. Stable, scalable, and with knowledgeable technical support."
"The product has eased the deployment of Microsoft apps to the devices. We can manage it properly. We can control it and push the updates. Another company helped us with the deployment. However, we can do it internally."
"For Windows services, there are multiple options within Intune to modernize it to be more internet-facing and dynamic."
"The stability could be better. There are sometimes bugs in the system."
"Pulse Connect Secure could improve the reporting, it is lacking in detail and should take the report automatically."
"The product's price is an area where improvements are required."
"I don't have any downsides to report about the product at this time."
"An area for improvement in Pulse Connect Secure is the concurrent connections, particularly needing a license if you want to use Pulse Connect Secure with your Microsoft or Windows machine."
"The support team of the product needs improvement. Sometimes we have issues with multiple authentications, but there is no help from the support team."
"Zero test FDP (Fraud Protection and Prevention) should be improved."
"This solution normally works but at times, we have had trouble with connectivity."
"They should improve its compatibility with other operating systems such as iOS and Linux. It supports Linux but they still need to work on the iOS part."
"It would be good if, in addition to the minimal patching and compliance, we could also use Intune for application deployment. For instance, if a device is not patched, Intune should have the ability to push not only a Microsoft patch but also other patches, such as a browser patch."
"The UI also needs improvements because it is complex for end-users. We have had feedback from a few users in our organization who found the UI is not feasible for tracking and analyzing all the processes and monitoring all the devices."
"Intune lags all of its competitors in terms of report generation."
"The documentation about the custom image setup could be better. Although Microsoft provides the steps to configure Intune or set up or deploy Intune, it doesn't have much information related to custom images. If you ask, "how can we deploy the custom image?" There is no information. The steps they mention ask you to connect to your on-premises environment or create your own image on the cloud itself once there is connectivity. But I needed to go to multiple websites to get all this information. I had to figure out how to upload the custom image if you want to use the on-premise custom image for Cloud PC. If you have the proper subscription, you must have the right access, like global admin or owner. Then you can add your custom image to that. There are no steps mentioned over there. Microsoft Intune doesn't have Chrome browser support. I would like to have that support because they will want it if we pitch the product to clients."
"Could benefit from user having more control over devices."
"The solution could improve its flexibility."
"It needs certificate provisioning for S/MIME purposes."
