I've worked with various cloud platforms and usually find them responsive and efficient, but I'm struggling with Intune. Specifically, I'm seeing significant delays with syncing, last check-ins, app deployments, diagnostics collections, and policy updates. I'm often left waiting anywhere from half an hour to hours for these actions to complete with devices that are online. It makes it really tough to implement changes or diagnose issues. I know rebooting the Intune Management Extension service can help sync things, but that negates the benefit of remote management. I'm just venting here, but I'm curious to know if anyone else shares similar frustrations, success stories, or if anyone knows if Microsoft plans to address these issues.

I've been diving into Intune, and I can relate—it can take its sweet time for changes to take effect. However, I’ve been experimenting with Jamf Pro and it’s such a breath of fresh air! Changes happen instantly—no more endless waiting. If you need to make things happen faster, consider looking at tools like that for everyday tasks.
Yeah, just being able to see live updates would make a world of difference. Waiting without any updates insight is pretty painful.
Intune is designed to be 'eventually consistent,' which means waiting 1-2 hours for changes like app deployments is actually pretty normal. It’s frustrating, I know, but that's just how it works. Learning to grab a coffee during those wait times might be the best strategy!
Yeah, Intune can be really slow and frustrating—definitely not the best user experience. It's pretty much to be expected at this point.
Honestly, the way we use Intune is mostly for baseline configurations. For urgent changes, we rely on a Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) tool. If it’s something that needs immediate action, RMM is the way to go. Intune is just too slow for anything urgent.
The worst part? Trying to initiate a remote wipe. Sometimes it never even registers on the device or takes ages to kick off. The management console can be super unhelpful, too.
I hear you! We've had some issues with that too—some devices wipe, others just sit there. It’s frustrating when speed is critical, and we just want it to work as intended.
Totally agree! Watching a device wipe can feel like forever, even if the end user says it’s done.
Same here! We’re integrating Action1 with Intune, which makes a big difference for deployment speed. Instant feedback is so helpful compared to Intune's cryptic errors.
