Transitioning from an AD managed environment, there are a number of incongruencies to work through to have the same policies and capabilities, a number of which now require paid licensing for features taken for granted in a purely AD environment. Many features, such as the ability to push scripts, have multiple ways to go about implementing them, usually with one or two included in the base package. If you're clever about it, there are usually ways to work around these limitations, but in a cost-challenged environment, Intune may not be the best option. The actual web interface is often slow, the placement of settings and views changes or has multiple ways to get to them, and it often just feels clunky to use. Pushing settings or apps to devices can also be inconsistent, with it sometimes taking hours or failing with little details to go off of for troubleshooting.
