Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Intune

We use Microsoft Intune to manage our Windows, Android, iOS, and macOS devices. It provides a single admin console for all device types, ensuring they stay compliant with our configurations and app requirements. Additionally, Microsoft Intune gives us a streamlined way to deploy apps and configure device settings. We've also intgrated Windows Autopilot, Apple Business Manger, and Android enterprise to make onboarding new devices easy.

Pros

  • Deploy device settings and policies
  • Deploy apps and app settings
  • Checks device compliance
  • Streamlines onboarding of devices
  • Deploy device update policies

Cons

  • It should integrate with BeyondTrust and other remote access tools, not just TeamViewer.
  • App deployments should have a pre-install script option, not just requirement script options.
  • Sync now doesn't always update everything, should be an easy way to push and app, script, or settings instantly so you don't have to wait 24 hours
  • Provides major security improvements by ensuring device compliance along with conditional access.
  • Onboarding devices is now smoother which saves time.
  • Resetting and reassigning devices with autopilot is quicker and takes less steps than it used to.
Easy once you get it set up. Lots of options when getting things set up the first time with autopilot and apple business manager so prepare for lots of testing.
A few of our apps get deployed during enrollment, the important ones that are required. For other apps, PDQ makes things a bit quicker as you can hit deploy and it happens instantly. So we use a mix of the two products. If you have a lot of macOS devices, another tool to manage apple apps might be helpful too.

PDQ Connect, PDQ Deploy & Inventory, PDQ Detect
It's the best tool to have for managing many devices with multiple os types, especially if you're already using MS Office products. I recommend bypassing hybrid join and opting for Entra ID joined instead. Once devices are enrolled, you'll be able to manage them remotely, ensuring seamless off-site management.
