After reading the post and pricing table I can only guess, that next step is change blog name to "Customers, who left Intune Success Stories".
I've waited 2-3 months waiting for new features like addition to EPM and Certificate Management, but current approuch really shows where this is going.
Microsoft 365 E3 least year was ~34Euro/user/month without any % price off and now we get another 10-11% increase in 2023Q2 + if we wanna continue going with intune we need to spend additional 10 Euro/user/month and pray the price won't increase after you bring more to this play after at 2023Q3 - based on pricing dashboard.
That's just way to greedy, when you consider people already pay +20$ more for E5 and still have to pay the same fee for EPM and Remote support.
Why even release a product that does not compete with neither:
- price range - new 2-4 features for +10Eur/user/month, where this is usually included in the already top model of the line licensing options with other vendor products.
- feature reachness - Remote support is still Windows only, does not allow unattended access, no file transfer option; EPM is still mediocre with application listing and blocklist, only Windows support, even tho we are few months behind adding Linux support and years after adding MacOS support
- platform support - everything is learn on your own and deploy with PoS or pay for partner help, cause MS support lately can't do anything without escalation to L2/L3, which takes 2-3 weeks at best.
Please reconsider those feature placement in current Intune plans, without adding some new things to already overcomplicated licensing.
