We performed a comparison between Google Cloud Identity and Microsoft Intune based on our users’ reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Microsoft Intune has a slight edge over Google Cloud Identity in this comparison, mainly because it is the more user-friendly solution.
"The solution is user-friendly."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Google Cloud Identity uses what they call organizational units (OUs) instead of the security groups you'd find in Microsoft's Entra."
"It's easy to set up."
"One of the most useful features was the single sign-on. You can use it as an identity provider or service provider. And you can use their organization unit feature to enable or disable some of the features for a specific group of users."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The Cloud Identity is well advanced in terms of features, applications, and the components that it is offering."
"The most valuable feature is that you can manage users from one central location."
"The solution appears to be stable and scalable."
"Remote Wipe and Autopilot is one of the best features."
"Its direct integration with all the other products that we have from Microsoft is valuable. We're using the E5 license, and we have a whole wealth of different products available. It just makes it easier to have everything from one provider."
"The solution is easy to use and it has good performance."
"I like the group policy management feature, which performs application monitoring and device enrollment."
"One of the most valuable aspects of Microsoft Intune is its seamless integration with Azure Active Directory, offering capabilities akin to Group Policy Objects."
"Autopilot is the most valuable feature."
"It is a helpful tool to manage BYOD policies."
"Google Cloud Identify could make the technology used easier to understand as a layman making it more user-friendly."
"They are going ahead and adding a few more things to the Google Cloud premium edition. Their stock management and remote computer management can be improved."
"To improve the product, the integration with third-party products could always be smoother."
"The management of external users needs to be introduced in the tool as it is an area of concern in the tool presently."
"The solution's storage capacity could be increased."
"The solution needs to better integrate with Mac's OS."
"If I were to suggest enhancements, it would mainly revolve around ensuring compatibility and maximizing integration options with various services."
"Technical support is slow."
"Sometimes, customers compare it with AirWatch, but the concept of Intune is different from other solutions. It's an application management app. It gets a bit difficult to explain it to customers, but it's not a product limitation. It takes a presale document or presentation to explain it to customers."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in integration and security as well."
"Integration with Mac devices requires some improvement."
"A new Intune feature allows application packaging, but it incurs additional licensing costs for a significant number of applications."
"Lacks the ability to deploy more ways of management, managing devices and processing the policies."
"Intune should be much more granular in terms of supporting more Android cellular devices."
"It would help if administrators could pinpoint the exact location of a stolen device to help law enforcement retrieve it and apprehend the suspect."
