Reviews of Microsoft Intune

Awesome User Experience
Pros:
This product is awesome specially when you talked about security & user experience. It helps people to do their job remotely
Cons:
Little complication during setup it takes that user doesn't like
Microsoft Intune for seamless device deployment and management
Comments: Our overall experience with Microsoft Intune is extremely positive. We have been a user for four years and have no plans to even consider any other option for deployment and management of our Windows devices. I love that Intune is included in our educational licensing and is not another separate subscription that I have to keep track of.
Pros:
When we realized that we needed a powerful and efficient way to deploy and manage devices amid the Covid crisis with all of our faculty and staff working from home, Intune was the clear winner! We looked at a few other MdM options but they fell short on either price or functionality or both. I love that you can manage everything through the Microsoft Admin portal and deploying devices through Autopilot is a great time saving feature that allows us to put a lot of the mundane tasks back on the user without fear that something will go wrong configuration or security wise. The user also knows they are getting a brand new device because it ships directly to them and they run through the OOBE.
Cons:
We decided to use the Fastrack option for initial deployment of Intune. I did not have the best experience with the Fastrack vendor because of the latency with communication. I can't rate whether or not the Fastrack option would have helped us with the deployment because I went ahead and jumped in on my own.
An expensive product that is a nightmare to setup and support
Pros:
Built-in integration with Microsoft Azure AD.
Cons:
Documentation isn't kept up to date. The support experience is excruciating and not responsive at all. Very few pre-built solutions - almost everything needs to be built from scratch
Alternatives Considered:
MDM&UEM using Intune
Comments: We can manage device and apply policies through intune.
Pros:
it is used to easily handle MDM and UEM device platform such as Android windows ios and mac os
Cons:
license cost and price model are high but if we have E3 and E5 user license we can use no need extra user license.
Alternatives Considered:
Intune the generalized all in one MDM solution
Comments: I've deployed Android Tablets for Warehouse management purposes, and iphones/ipads to Windows computers with minimal frustration.
Pros:
I like the fact it's not operating system/device specific. You can manage Windows/Apple/Android/Chromebooks. Desktops/Laptops/Tablets.
Cons:
There's a bit of a learning curve, and enrollment is different depending on which platform you're trying to manage. Tracking license use is not simple.
