Views on Microsoft Intune

[jslate1980]

Hi is anyone using Microsoft Intune as there schools MDM solution? If so what are your views on it, how many devices do you have connected and how much are you paying?

Not in a school now but we are going to start looking at rolling this out for managing our owned mobile devices (Windows Phones) to replace the retro but still functioning Blackberry Enterprise Server so would be interested in hearing if anyone has used it for BYOD style setup as that would be the next phase for us after company owned devices.

@john, you are never going to be able to enforce MDM on student devices; MDM is only ever going to work on school owned devices... I have seen some of the better web security vendors doing stuff like behavioural based tech to detect threats from BYOD student devices

John isn't in education anymore so perhaps different requirements.

@Edu-IT I know that. However BYOD is BYOD and the requirements and challenges are the same whether edu or corporate.
