Joseph Merusi - PeerSpot reviewer
Everything has worked better since we started using it
Sometimes the syncing is inconsistent. I'm confident that the devices are checking in every eight hours, but sometimes the devices aren't picking up the settings as quickly as I would expect. Some features haven't been updated in a while, and Microsoft doesn't seem interested in developing them. Unless you talk to an engineer, you don't know whether there will be an update. There are communication issues, so you might start working with a feature without knowing if it will be deprecated six months from now. Some reporting areas still need development. For example, I noticed that the reporting for driver updates is still confusing.
Hahn Rolf - PeerSpot reviewer
Solution elevates team collaboration and manages remote support efficiently
For me as a user in the service desk, there is already a lot of functionality in the product. I don't have any specific ideas for improvement on that side. Some technical aspects could be improved, particularly in product management. For the end user, enhancements do not seem necessary at the moment. They could probably give the technician client a more modern interface, but the crucial factor is stable connectivity in a remote session. I see more potential for improvement on the administration side, like better transparency when a patch is installed. It would be useful for administrators to see the version and patch levels of the product easily. BeyondTrust could also enhance their quality control process before releasing a new build to ensure no new bugs are present. This is a common issue among software manufacturers.

Enhances remote access and integration with third-party tools
I use NinjaOne for managing smaller clients, specifically their devices and software, for small to medium businesses. I provide remote management services through NinjaOne. It allows clients to use NinjaOne for remote access to their computers for home office purposes. This feature is highly…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Its price is reasonable. It is a part of our M365 suite."
"One of the most valuable features of Microsoft Intune is the detection and remediation script capability."
"The solution is easy to use and it has good performance."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The solution appears to be stable and scalable."
"Its protection policies are most valuable. It protects mobile devices as well as individual apps. It is pretty scalable, and its documentation is also pretty good. It is also pretty straightforward to deploy."
"It is very easy for me to configure all the things. Once I create policies and applications in Intune, it is very easy for us to enroll users."
"Microsoft Intune simplifies device management by replacing the traditional method of installing OS, joining a domain, and configuring everything manually."
"The most valuable feature of the solution concerns our company's main use case, which is for connection to our remote clients."
"The solution has been very stable. We haven't had issues at all. It doesn't crash or freeze. There aren't bugs or glitches either."
"It is effective. It is a good way of making sure that you're auditing what's going on. It also makes the end-user feel safe that you're not getting into things that you shouldn't be getting into because they're authorizing different areas for you to see. It is a pretty secure tool. It is important as far as security is concerned. It is very effective in terms of the support personnel being able to get the job done when they need to. It is easy for the end-user or the person we're helping out to understand how to allow somebody in to get the work done."
"Offers a secure method of access without having to install agents everywhere."
"Remote sessions are automatically recorded so there is a history of all coding and scripting."
"The seamless integration of chat, our ITSM management software, and remote viewing/control software makes for a valuable tool."
"Solution has a good UI."
"Screen sharing, in general, is pretty important for a service desk. Another thing that I have found to be very helpful is that you can also do screen sharing on a cell phone. When people have an issue with their cell phone, it is ordinarily very difficult to troubleshoot the issue. With BeyondTrust Remote Support, you can share the cell phone screen, and somebody can take a look at it remotely. I am not sure if other competing solutions offer this feature. It is pretty user-friendly. It is also good performance-wise."
"It just works as advertised and serves the purpose for which we got it."
"The installation is easy, it only took two minutes."
"The best feature of NinjaOne is the SLA system. Every IT person can check their performance, how long it takes to resolve an issue, and how many SLAs are breached."
"The software's automation tools have solved critical deployment problems for small businesses."
"It helps us to be able to have visibility into the overall performance of the servers, laptops, and desktops that we are managing currently."
"Good at managing updates and for remote support."
"The most important aspect of this tool is the security it provides our company."
"The tool's most valuable feature is third-party application updates."
 

Cons

"I also hope the cost of Remote Help will decrease because it's a much-needed Intune function."
"There are some issues using the solution with macOS and iOS, and it offers limited granular control with them. Intune works better on Windows and Android."
"What would make this product better is adding more security policies and features in the next upgrade."
"Lacking in features such as Wi-Fi and network security."
"We are facing issues with Apple products. With macOS and iOS, there are some difficulties with the updates because we cannot get full control of Apple products. In the case of Windows, it is fine, but in the case of Apple, we have some difficulties. We cannot control everything through Intune."
"The installation could be improved to be simplified."
"The reporting and cost have room for improvement."
"There is room for improvement in the remediation and detection modules, which are currently about eighty percent fully functional."
"There were a few employee devices that failed during the initial deployment, which required a second deployment."
"The screen annotation tools could be expanded. I would like to see a text/typing annotation tool."
"​The possibility to integrate a chatbot would take this product to the next level​."
"One potential improvement is in the support department. Customers based in India have to wait for support staff in the UK to start their shifts for assistance on non-urgent matters, even for severity one or two issues."
"The ability to connect mobile devices could be improved. Smartphones and tablets are becoming more prevalent throughout corporate environments. From time to time, we have problems connecting to those devices. You can't stage the application to connect without a user's input. You had to guide them through enabling permissions for the app. Then they need to enter the URL and session key. It would be great if they could streamline that process."
"We sometimes have trouble accessing servers because of credentialing and multifactor authentication issues with PAM."
"I would like more insight into completed sessions. This would be nice, such as a historical log into the technician client application."
"iOS interactive support would be a cool addition. Right now it's a non-interactive view."
"The inclusion of XENServer and Proxmox as virtual platforms in NinjaOne is currently missing."
"The inclusion of XENServer and Proxmox as virtual platforms in NinjaOne is currently missing."
"I would like to see more scripts for PowerShell commands."
"I want NinjaOne to improve the reports."
"The ticketing system in NinjaOne is not the best."
"Improvements could be made to reduce NinjaOne's functionalities to focus more on inventory or remote help tools."
"The remote connectivity could be better. It works most of the time, but sometimes, there are issues."
"I wish that they integrated it with more antivirus solutions. Currently, they only push Defender, but it doesn't really have integration with SentinelOne. It also didn't integrate with Trend Micro, which we were using previously. I would also like to have more control from the mobile app. As of now, I am able to see some performance values, but I can't see, for example, disk activity or disk performance values. If they can improve their app a little bit, it would help greatly. They can also improve the tech interface. If I assign certain techs to a bunch of specific machines, they only get those alerts that they're assigned to."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is relatively pricey, but considering its benefits, I'd say it's fair. The benefits outweigh the expensive licensing fees, especially for large organizations, but medium-sized and smaller businesses may be unable to afford it."
"Our Office 365 Business Premium license, including Office 365 and Intune Management, offers excellent value."
"It's reasonable. They're not giving it away, but it's reasonable."
"Microsoft licenses are costly."
"Intune is linked with Microsoft. We can deploy the Microsoft E365 license to users by Intune. There are different types of licenses, such as device administrator licenses, E5 licenses for device enrollment manually, and P1 and p2 licenses for device enrollment automatically. These are the licenses required for the administration."
"It is not expensive."
"For Microsoft 365 E5 clients, cost is not an issue as this product is one of the benefits."
"The cost of the license and the features are justified for myself as a technical person."
"Pricing is reasonable for what the service is offering. If it is looked at from a purely remote control perspective then it might appear expensive, but it is the wider functionality that should be considered too."
"It is pretty pricey. It is not cheap. The licensing structure is not cheap. The tool is not cheap, but in the long run, it is well worth it. It is probably one of the best on the market because it is just so easy to use and easy to deploy. It gave us the ability to see what everybody was doing. It held people accountable. It gave us the accountability that we needed."
"BeyondTrust Remote Support is a very expensive product."
"The solution is subscription-based and depends on the number of admin users."
"I would like to order more licenses. This would allow us to support more end users concurrently."
"We pay every year for the box, and there are no additional costs."
"I would prefer that it was more affordable."
"The setup is complex. Purchase the remote implementation service and make them slow down and work with you."
"It roughly costs $400 a month. It provides a good value because of the number of tools that you get in the solution. I would rate it a four out of five in terms of pricing. There are no additional costs other than the standard licensing fees."
"I rate the solution’s pricing a five out of ten, where one is the lowest and ten is the most expensive."
"NinjaOne is a little expensive but is still cheaper than competitors like Acronis or Veeam."
"NinjaOne's price is fine since my workplace is an educational institution, so we get the product at a really good price considering that we do not pay taxes, making the prices very fair and worth the product."
"The product's pricing depends on the number of PCs or devices."
"NinjaRMM uses a subscription model."
"The pricing is reasonable and cheaper than ConnectWise."
"We got a pretty good deal. It was fairly affordable."
