Microsoft Intune
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Microsoft Intune to manage most of the laptops, and a portion of the mobile phones. Through Microsoft Intune we have control and a good overview of how compliant the devices are based on the policy that has been applied. The distribution of software also runs through Microsoft Intune, and receives regular updates.
Pros
- Automated Device Provisioning
- Compliance & Conditional Access Enforcement
- Application Deployment & Management
Cons
- Sometimes it takes a little longer for updates to be implemented properly.
- Installation times vary. Sometimes it's very quick, and sometimes it takes longer.
- Sometimes it is confusing which Microsoft licenses are required for certain functionalities
Likelihood to Recommend
Once the Microsoft Intune environment is set up properly, I definitely recommend Microsoft Intune. Especially from the administrator perspective, you have many options to properly manage and monitor all managed devices. You can easily assign different policy rules specifically for certain users or departments. You can also properly control the rollout of software to the right devices or departments. In addition, you have quite a bit of influence to tighten security to the wishes of an organization so that you meet certain standards.
