Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Edge

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Microsoft Edge as our Mandatory browser. We need to be able to browse the internet, and Edge provides the necessary functionality. Other than that, Edge integrates well with the Windows OS we use, and Microsoft Intune manages the policies.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Browsing the internet.
Synchronising settings through work profile.
Being managed by Intune.

Cons

Sometimes, some functions don't seem to work while browsing Incognito.
I'm not sure if this is an Edge issue, but if you set up the Passwordless Experience in Windows and don't have Windows Hello configured, when you attempt to view a password, it displays a prompt that doesn't work.

Return on Investment

It's easily manageable, so that's a plus for the administrators.
It's easy to use, so a good user experience.

Usability

It does what it needs to do, and it is both easy to use and manage.

Alternatives Considered

Google Chrome

Both run on Chromium, so it's the same browser, but in terms of manageability, Edge has the edge!

Key Insights

Likelihood to Recommend

I honestly think it is perfectly usable in almost every scenario, unless you have an odd job that requires a browser with specific functionalities. I can imagine a hacker of some sort would need to be able to hide certain things that Edge probably cannot hide.
