Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, VMware, ManageEngine and others in Unified Endpoint Management (UEM)."The central administration con dashboard is very easy to use and provides very good oversight on all that needs to be monitored."
"The ability to push applications on devices is valuable. You do not have to manually install applications one by one. If you like to use ten different applications, you do not have to manually go and download them one by one. Intune can compile a package for you, and then you can just push them from the admin center."
"There has been a noticeable increase in productivity for both my organization and clients."
"It's easy to manage."
"Agile and easy to deploy MDM solution that covers the maximum number of policies. Stable, scalable, and with knowledgeable technical support."
"It is a stable solution."
"I like the fact that it's integrated with the rest of the Microsoft products, so customers can manage it from their Office 365 portal or Azure portal."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is having all our devices compliant with our policies."
"The most valuable features depend on a customer's needs. Our customers generally find multi-factor authentication very useful."
"I find the provisioning features and the integration with other applications useful."
"It has a wide range of MFA options. I prefer "Okta Verify" out of them all."
"It is dependent on the evolution of your user base. It depends on usage per user, so the more sign-ins there are, the more expensive it becomes, so it works best for smaller companies from a financial perspective."
"We find the solution to be stable."
"The provisioning functionality has been the most valuable. This solution has good performance, fast integration and is very responsive."
"The most valuable features are ease of operation and visibility."
"The product’s most valuable feature is multifactor authentication."
"We haven't really gone through all the features of Intune. We are just discovering them. Every day, we see a new feature that we want to apply, but what will be great for Intune is to be able to deploy apps in a simple fashion. We should be able to easily install various apps on the Windows platform, iOS, and Android. Currently, we have to write some scripts. It's not as straightforward as we would like it to be. It should be simplified so that we can do it just with three clicks—next, next, finish—without needing to write a script."
"Microsoft Intune's support for Mac devices is lacking and could be improved."
"Could benefit from user having more control over devices."
"Intune lags all of its competitors in terms of report generation."
"The main disadvantage seen today is regarding Linux clients. We have a lot of development resources that have Linux on their clients, and we can't manage them on the same platform, as we do with other clients such as macOS and Windows. So, it should have support for Linux clients. It should also have better support for macOS."
"The product needs to upgrade itself when the server is overloaded."
"Microsoft Intune has a latency response time issue. The latency has room for improvement."
"When somebody has a customized application or their own company's application, we cannot deploy that application."
"In my country, there's a lot of stealing of mobile phones, and mobile phones are the authentication device through the Okta application. If someone should steal my mobile phone, which is very common in my country, he or she might have access to my company account. That's my concern."
"We still had to write several internal programs/scripts to complete the user-provisioning process. Okta does not have the ability to provision mailbox accounts for on-premise Exchange or in a hybrid O365 environment. The Group Push function from Okta to AD did not work reliably in our environment."
"The lifecycle management part can be improved. It should also have identity governance and the ability to choose a specific factor authentication at the application level. Its licensing and pricing can also be improved."
"Okta Workforce Identity could improve provisioning it can be made simpler."
"The training is too costly."
"Okta Workforce Identity could improve the way passwords are reset and how it interfaces with Microsoft."
"The only area of concern in the solution stems from the fact that my company needs some help regarding the setup phase from a partner."
"Therefore, if you have 10 million users, that's almost 100 million, so it is costly."
