Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, VMware, ManageEngine and others in Unified Endpoint Management (UEM)."It is a very stable and scalable cloud-only solution."
"The solution has reduced the risk of security breaches by 30%."
"The biggest benefits of Intune are the ability to push changes and the added security. When we moved forward with Defender, we onboarded all those machines automatically. That helps dramatically. For a while, we were left with machines that weren't protected. We could see where people had done things they shouldn't have done, and Defender saved our skins a few times. It didn't happen a lot, but it happened enough that it made us glad we made that decision."
"Compliance and the policies that can be set are the most valuable features."
"Intune's most valuable features are the device, compliance, and configuration policies."
"It works well if you have a Microsoft environment."
"One of the main features of the solution is it allows the management of many devices in different ways."
"The ability to block and erase remote devices is valuable to us, especially when those devices are lost."
"We face no challenges in integrating the product with our legacy systems."
"One of the features that I have found to be very valuable is its interoperability and compatibility with all types of resources, whether it's networking, infrastructure, or applications. That is, it is compatible as well as interoperable, as far as the federated authentication is concerned."
"Valuable features include UD, SSO functionality, MFA and Adaptive MFA functionality, ability to link multiple Directory databases with UD."
"Okta has introduced the Universal Directory. It has custom attribute capability and user permissions to read/write on their profiles or hide them. Profile sources and identity profile sourcing are two different components that I haven't seen in other products."
"Having a single sign-on to all our applications."
"This solution has a lot of capabilities and features."
"Workforce Identity offers a comprehensive access management solution with multi-factor authentication, total control, and features like app access management, identity governance, and administration tools such as certification and access request management. These are typically found in identity management solutions, but Okta integrates them seamlessly into its user interface."
"The ease of deployment, ease of use, and speed of delivery is what I like about Okta Workforce Identity. It is very easy to use. For a lot of software, you need to be trained extensively and have a very technical background. Okta Workforce Identity is quite simple. You can integrate any software into Okta. They've got a network of 7,000 applications that easily integrate into it."
"There is still a gap between SCCM and Intune, especially in the reporting, inventory, and software deployment areas."
"The security features should be improved."
"The solution can have some compliance problems in general and the end-point user can bypass easily the company policies in Intune."
"Reporting could be improved. It needs to be more expensive and robust."
"The scalability could be improved, and like most other MDM products, Intune is good but not 100% there yet."
"The pricing can be expensive if you are not combining it with other products."
"There can be delays in the deployment of new policies."
"The product needs to upgrade itself when the server is overloaded."
"SSO and MFA for improved end-user experience, and protection against password spray attacks, account password self-service."
"The integration with third-party tools needs to be improved."
"We experienced some technical glitches that need to be resolved."
"The training is too costly."
"There are some issues with the interface that can be improved."
"On the admin side, we can create our own passwords instead of generating one, which is usually difficult to explain to a user."
"Support could be a bit faster."
"We've not had any problems with Okta."
