Anneri Van Der Merwe - PeerSpot reviewer
Impressive scalability and reliability for seamless service management
One area where I believe there's room for improvement in the 4me system is the absence of an asset discovery tool. While it does offer integration options with external tools for this purpose, it would be highly advantageous if it either developed its own asset discovery tool or incorporated an existing one directly into the platform.
PraveenSharma3 - PeerSpot reviewer
Enhanced remote functionality complements intricate admin management
We are using it as co-management, working from SCCM and some from Intune. However, there are dissimilarities between SCCM and Intune, so we use SCCM for specific tasks or policies Currently, with the system, we have some remote tool functionality which is not available with Intune. We are also…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It offers a comprehensive set of features without requiring additional payments for each feature."
"I like their request management as well as their project management."
"The multi-tenancy architecture, both in terms of functionality and reporting, is the best feature. It is a really well-thought, designed, and developed part of this product."
"The solution is highly stable."
"The remote access is one of the features I really enjoy. The pushing of email updates and things like that are very good."
"It is one of the most stable solutions in the market."
"We've been in contact with Microsoft technical support mainly. After doing the research ourselves and troubleshooting, etc., if we can't find a permanent solution, we contact Microsoft to help us fix the issue. Sometimes the issue never gets fixed even by Microsoft. It can sometimes require us to reinstall the solution. However, these are very rare instances."
"This solution is easy to use."
"SCCM provides remote tool functionality, which is not in Intune."
"For our cloud-based deployment of SCSM, the Autopilot is the best feature."
"It is a simple solution that is easy to configure."
"A very convenient package like an all-in-one tool but it is actually five or six products acting well together."
 

Cons

"Asset Discovery is a feature that should be added."
"We would like to be able to customize and brand the solution, or at least the majority of its features and dashboards, particularly those that will be used by a large number of people."
"We're still biased towards our previous, more mature product. 4me still needs to reach that level of maturity."
"One area where I believe there's room for improvement in the 4me system is the absence of an asset discovery tool."
"It would be better if they had a portal for administrators. It would help me use it from anywhere and connect to any device from anywhere. I can administer the solution without a VPN."
"Although some engineers at Microsoft are good, the support often lacks expertise, and response times are slow."
"We would like to see a web-based interface that works on mobile devices."
"One of the disadvantages in this product is that the reporting module is not very easy. It requires SQL development skills, which not all customers or IT professionals have."
"The patch management aspect of the solution should be improved. It's quite complicated and not user-friendly. If your systems are not patched properly, you are unable to pull reports."
"Resources for understanding compliance and relative compliance need to be made available."
"The solution could be more simple. For example, it takes a lot of work to create reports. It runs on Microsoft SQL queries. Creating custom reports on ManageEngine takes less work from the administrator."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing costs on the website are about $60 for pay-as-you-go. And then it decreases based on volume discounts or something."
"It is the most affordable because it is priced per month per user."
"This pricing falls on the lower end of the spectrum, making it a cost-effective option."
"The pricing is expensive."
"Licensing can be complex and confusing."
"I would rate the pricing as two out of five."
"It is an expensive solution."
"The platform is competitively priced."
"The price of the solution could be better. My organization has an enterprise annual license with Microsoft which provides us support."
"It comes free with the enterprise agreement that we have, but the expense really is in having to buy another product to sit on top of it to make it work properly. You wind up having to buy additional support and additional product with their own support and maintenance costs on top of that."
"It is a lower price vs. other things on the market."
"The price should be lower."
