We are a shop that are primary Intune, but for function devices we use WS1.

Why:

WS1 is faster when troubleshooting and sending new settings

You can upload apk files directly

Tunnel (microvpn for shared devices)

 

If these or other special cases do not apply to you, Intune should work fine as your MDM. You get used to the UX, since you probably have your windows and macs there already.

    I am not sure what you mean by function devices but if you're referring to dedicated or line of business devices use cases then I completely agree. I would never use Intune for mission critical devices given it's limitations from both a speed of application of settings as well as the inability to install APKs directly on devices for precise version control. Intune may be Android Enterprise Recommended but I consider AER to be the baseline bare minimum set of definitions and standards an EMM must provide. You need a lot more than the bare minimum to support line of business devices. WS1 is a solid choice for that situation, along with SOTI and 42Gears.
