Do take into account that WP8.1 is not as manageable as iOS is. When it comes to mobile devices and MDM, this is always something to remember: you can only manage the device to the extent the vendor allows and per the capabilities that they built in. We're all spoiled by Windows because it has a very rich management capability that has built up over the last 20 years. Mobile Devices don't. Also, mobile devices are designed for the consumer first so manageability is always an after-thought. Thus, you not only need to ask about how well an MDM solution works but how well can the device itself be managed. And as mentioned, in this case, iOS is actually much better. I expect that gap to close with Win10 though (maybe even go away now that the code base is the same as the desktop).

Asking around policies that can be pushed to devices, app blocking/whitelisting, wiping the device, just normal MDM stuff. We are currently an iPhone department, but we are a Microsoft department everywhere else. I figured if Intune does a good job of managing Windows phones, that I could possibly start nudging in that direction. I'm not a big Apple fan...
