"Stable product that's easy to set up compared to other MDM products."
"There are so many features, but Windows Autopilot is one of the features that are very valuable for most customers."
"It is user-friendly, and the performance is also good. It is a convenient product"
"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."

"It allows our clients to have the confidence to centrally manage policies for security. It helps them in securing the organization from a technology aspect."
"In terms of technical capability, it is doing very well. It is doing better than other industry products. It is at a place where we can compare it with Microsoft products. Its scalability is also good."
"The solution is stable."
"The product works perfectly for patch management and software deployments."
"I like being able to image over the network. That's a nice feature that it has. Patch management is pretty decent on it as well."
"The reporting tool is very good."
"The most important feature we found to be useful in the COVID situation is the secure connection, which gives the IT support staff the ability to seamlessly connect with the users remotely and in a secure way."
"Has good functionality and is user-friendly."
"The stability is very good."
"You can scale the solution up or down by department."
"Integration between our departments has been the most valuable."
"The product is centralized and we can use it for security purposes."

"The solution is scalable."
"The solution offers excellent documentation that is easily available online."

"Microsoft Mobility and EMS include Intune for Mobility, which provides mobile device management and mobile application management. With mobile device management, you can control the entire device in an organization."
"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."
"There is still a gap between SCCM and Intune, especially in the reporting, inventory, and software deployment areas."
"The current Intune reporting functionality could benefit from some improvements."
"The policies we had in SCCM and AD offered features that are missing from Microsoft Intune."
"Regarding mobile devices, Intune is good, but there are other services that I would say are ahead of Intune from an administration and reporting point of view."
"No option to do end-to-en macOS management. Slow implementation of policies."
"The reporting is subpar. That's the only issue we have with Intune. We use another solution for that purpose."
"The technical support could be improved."
"I would like to see more click to complete actions such as - USB lockdown for Mac, the ability to check AV compliance on servers, bit locker controls, printer tracking or print page tracking, self-help for self-healing like "BMC my IT" and more options in the self-service menu other than just software - maybe add integration in ADSelfService at the self-service menu."
"Some difficulties with setup for multiple locations."
"There is a slight delay in customer support, which is something that can be improved."
"The Deployment scheduler needs updating to support various methods for deployment."
"It is compatible with the systems such as Windows and Mac but not with Linux systems."
"Even when it shows Java as up-to-date, it might not be. So, to make it better, they should improve the accuracy of Java patch reporting."
"The reports provided by the product are an area of concern where improvements are required. The visibility provided by the reports is not very attractive."
"ManageEngine could be improved by giving customers an option to perform certain actions proactively. Since I was a consultant, I worked on different products and some had advantages over ManageEngine. For example, proactive remediation—you want to proactively check something on the computers and run the script. In ManageEngine, you have the option to run the script, but Intune has the option to do so proactively. ManageEngine doesn't have this. You should have the option to act proactively, not just going ahead and fixing it once it's done. Proactive remediation should be a feature."
"The licensing can be messy at times."
"Its performance needs enhancement."
"We did the deployment with the help of Microsoft's consultants. But sometimes, we found it difficult to educate the application developers to integrate."
"Microsoft's feature management is based on licenses. Microsoft follows ethical licensing and hence do not restrict the use of it."
"Microsoft Enterprise Mobility + Security is expensive."
"Technical support could be improved. Sometimes they use a third party that's not so knowledgeable in the product and that can slow down things a bit."
"The MDM part of the engine could be better."
"There are certain shortcomings in the licensing model of the product where improvements are required."
