Enables management of multiple operating systems with a single license
The best feature is that it's a Microsoft product, so if anything goes wrong, we get quick support for anything required. Remote system functionality allows us to sit anywhere and take control of any device via remote management. We can enhance security for clients' laptops with built-in Microsoft Defender, which is available with the Microsoft Intune license. We use it for reporting purposes through endpoint analytics. When pushing scripting, there are two types available: remediation script and reservation script. Through endpoint analytics, you can push defender policies to clients. It helps with reporting, inventory updates, and monitoring tenant status health.

Tier1 - IT Support Technician at a comms service provider with 501-1,000 employees
We're able to see issues from the users' perspectives, but there are issues when connecting over VPN.
The ability to see issue from users perspective and installation of software. Worked well for awhile but issues with it connecting over VPN was a major drawback. We've been using it since 2009. We also utilize GoToAssist which has more features and runs smoother. It also allows us to send…

Good remote services feature and easy to setup
With LogMeIn Pro, we could connect up to 10 computers, and having an option for something in between would be good. Like, we went from 10 to the next level, which was around 50 or so. If there was a tier, perhaps around 20, that I would have probably purchased, and it would have been a better fit for what I needed.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Our bank's most valuable Intune features are centered around the dedicated device concept."
"I like Intune's ability to install software to a device remotely and push policy through the Azure portal."
"Intune helps the organization manage access to its internal apps, data, and resources."
"Microsoft's cloud comes with a lot of extra features that are free of charge."
"Microsoft Intune does help me save time in terms of management of various devices—I don't have to go to those locations to manage the devices at those locations, I can do it remotely, which is very helpful."
"Intune's feature that I have found most valuable is its auto-pilot feature."
"It is a helpful tool to manage BYOD policies."
"I like the group policy management feature, which performs application monitoring and device enrollment."
"Using DameWare has made the troubleshooting process faster."
"It was very easy to install."
"The ability to control admin rights through AD groups allows the techs to have all of the rights that they would normally without adjustments on the backend of the product."
"The ability to easily connect back and retrieve data from the computer systems that I have."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"You don't have to remember the password and the login all the time. Once you get it in there, it's in there, and you can go about your business."
"The most valuable feature is having it in a central location, all the different groups, and being able to ad-hoc or at will log on to whichever computer system I need to get to from a central spot."
"Customer support was great because any issues I encountered were responded to in a timely manner and they were able to resolve any issues that I had."
"We are using LogMeIn for our IT Management."
"It's even simple to remotely add a computer to our group. We can send a link to that computer and they just follow the prompts on the screen and they are ready to go - we can access it. It's very user-friendly."
"The remote connection is the most valuable, but we also use it for file transfer, that would be probably the second most valuable. The remote connection is a major time saver, it saves us from having to drive to each location."
 

Cons

"It would be awesome if Microsoft opened their API so we could filter more properties. If we have to do anything outside of Intune that requires a third-party solution to talk back to it, we're very limited in what we can do. Trust your people. We promise not to break your stuff. Open it up just a tiny bit wider."
"At the moment, we need more flexibility. We have some offices migrating to Windows 11 remotely. Sometimes, it is difficult to manage image installation because we have to collect some information before starting image deployment. Currently, Intune cannot collect the information needed for deploying new images."
"Intune endpoint analytics can be challenging."
"Intune's areas for improvement revolve around security and certificate management."
"Intune doesn't provide much control over Windows servers. It's something we struggle with."
"Reporting can be better. Only global administrators can see detailed reports at the moment, and I don't want to use the global admin."
"I would like to see Intune improve its handling of hybrid domain joins. We continue to experience issues with machines losing their hybrid domain join status."
"I think there should be a better tracking of the cell phones used on the Intune."
"SolarWinds has a great KB but many of the articles are lacking updated information and the keyword search is lacking if you don't have previous experience with the product and encounter issues."
"Worked well for awhile but issues with it connecting over VPN was a major drawback."
"Remote Access for external and internal customers."
"With Windows 10 we've had some issues with it crashing, and certain antivirus products cause it to fail. For the most part it's stable, but we do have an occasional crash mainly related to new operating systems. The new Microsoft Server and the new Windows operating systems sometimes have issues with it. But for the most part, in anything under, say, Windows 7, Windows 8, those seem to be pretty stable, and with the Microsoft Server 2012 and below, it's all stable. And I don't necessarily think it's LogMeIn. I think it may be Microsoft, to be honest with you."
"As far as the usability of it, I'd like to see if printing could be enabled in the basic version or the medium version. Some of the remote printing isn't available unless you go to the premium versions, and that's disappointing."
"Maybe they can come up with a plan if you only use it for login and, occasionally, printing. Maybe you can charge what you used to charge and then if we want to use it for files or things that are more sophisticated, charge a little more."
"LogMeIn is a great product, and unfortunately, is a necessary evil."
"It would be helpful if there were more things that you could do outside of having to log into the machine, such as being able to raise a command line and reboot the computer if, for whatever reason, it doesn't want to let me in."
"Would like for the client to be searchable."
"The only issue is that they could have a tier between 10 seats and 50."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its licensing model is not complex, but it is very expensive compared to other solutions. They can bring more models and reduce the pricing. They should allow customers to select the features they want and price it accordingly."
"I don't have any problem as far as cost is concerned. It is bundled with our license."
"Microsoft Intune is available for individual purchase at a low per-device cost."
"It's affordable. It's cheaper if you have an Office 365, E5, or E3 subscription because everything is there."
"Its price is in the medium range. It is acceptable because you're paying for the features. I am not aware of any additional costs."
"My team members bundled it together with their Microsoft solutions, including Microsoft 365 and related products."
"Based on the features that it gives, it is cost-efficient. It is not necessarily on the expensive side of the scale. It provides a hefty number of features that any organization would want. It is in a good price range."
"Intune is cost-effective as it is included in some of the Office 365 packages."
Information not available
"Pricing has been going up for just going back and forth between two computers. Last year I called and complained, they gave me a deal. This year, it's gone up to $350. I'm looking for a new source. It seems to be getting expensive for me to look back and forth. Come up with a different level of service for just communicating with two computers; I use it, maybe, five minutes a day."
"It is very good."
"It is pricey. When they renew me, they always boost it up, I call them and they cut it back a little bit."
"I am very happy to say that I have been very satisfied with the LogMeIn product, except for the escalation of the price. ​"
"To be honest with you, I use it just for login and the prices are getting too high so we're going to look for an alternative solution. It used to be a couple of hundred dollars a year, now it's like $600 a year. We're definitely going to be switching shortly. Every year they have significant increases."
"The company does not scale the price based upon use."
"Pricing is what I'm upset with. Now, that they bought everybody up, the price doubled."
"I did not deal with the financial aspect but my impression is that they are more expensive."
