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.
"I think the first thing that is great is that it gives you a lot of features, like login, and then vaulted passwords and secure LDAP. It becomes easier for the end customer to leverage all those features without going to a higher SKU of G Suite."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of Google Cloud Identity is its stability."
"It's easy to set up."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The most valuable feature is the performance."
"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."
"The tool provides a free service that you can integrate for laptop authentication. You also don’t need a separate Active Directory."
"It works well if you have a Microsoft environment."
"The features I found most valuable in Intune are its user visibility and troubleshooting options."
"We are a remote company, and the product helps us manage the global endpoints. It helps us natively manage the endpoints in the cloud from anywhere."
"Microsoft's cloud comes with a lot of extra features that are free of charge."
"The most valuable includes managing everything from a single console."
"The stability of Microsoft Intune is good."
"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."
"The interface could be improved by simplifying it further."
"The solution needs to better integrate with Mac's OS."
"Google Cloud Identify could make the technology used easier to understand as a layman making it more user-friendly."
"There is room for improvement in the configuration of their security policies. It seems quite basic."
"I would like to see more integration in future releases."
"If you want to set up some alerts, you don't have much control over the configuration. You have to use their default alerts. And they only provide alerts for certain activities, so you cannot customize those. Monitoring isn't very helpful either."
"The pricing for this solution is a little bit higher than AWS and others, which is something that should be improved."
"Technical support is slow."
"They should make it easier to order it, however, that's generally true for everything from Microsoft."
"The product needs to upgrade itself when the server is overloaded."
"The solution can have some compliance problems in general and the end-point user can bypass easily the company policies in Intune."
"Enhancements for managing MacOS more comprehensively would be beneficial."
"Reporting and troubleshooting for the application deployment could be better. It's very difficult to understand."
"Technical support is not that great."
"China blocks Google and Google Play Store, which makes installation challenging. Microsoft Intune is a company software, which has to be installed to the app portal or Microsoft Software Center."
"I would like the ability to install the agent on devices from suppliers, which would enable us to implement a zero-trust strategy for guest devices."
