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

  • 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.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Microsoft Edge is actually the default browser on my personal laptop, it came pre-installed. At work it is the secondary browser, used for navigating the web and accessing and searching page links etc. In my opinion it holds up equally well against the others in terms of speed, visibility and functionality.

Pros

  • Speed
  • Search
  • Visibility
  • Functionality

Cons

  • Honestly I can't think of any improvements at this time, it works pretty great as is

Return on Investment

  • It was pre-installed on my laptop so cost factor was $0
