Centralized device management has transformed security and streamlined remote provisioning
One area where Microsoft Intune can improve is the user interface. Sometimes the portal feels a bit complex and not very intuitive, especially for new users, and it can take time to find specific settings. Another point is troubleshooting. While logs are available, the diagnostic policies and sync issues can still be time-consuming and not very straightforward. I also feel that reporting could be more detailed and customizable. The built-in reports are helpful, but for deeper insights, I often need to rely on additional tools. Overall, it is a strong solution, but improving usability and troubleshooting experience would make it even better. While Microsoft Intune works very well within the Microsoft ecosystem, the integration of some third-party tools could be smoother and require less customization. Support is another area that could improve, as sometimes response times can be slow, and resolving complex issues may take longer than expected. In terms of features, I think more advanced automation and built-in remediation options would be helpful since common issues can be fixed automatically without manual intervention.

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

"It's easy to manage and easy to configure."
"The user experience of Microsoft Intune is quite good because there's not much disturbance in the background; it's just running in the background."
"Mobile device management is most valuable."
"One of the main features of the solution is it allows the management of many devices in different ways."
"Microsoft Intune positively impacts our organization by reducing licensing costs and data center management."
"The security posture is very good. It's very customizable."
"Intune provides a centralized management solution, although its suitability depends on specific needs and comparisons with alternatives like Jamf, Kandji, or ManageEngine."
"Dynamic groups allow us to set conditions for automatic membership, eliminating the need for user intervention or manual review and ensuring a seamless workflow."
"It was very easy to install."
"Using DameWare has made the troubleshooting process faster."
"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 ROI is almost instantaneous, in that it aggregates multiple functions into one, and allows for proactive actions that could otherwise cause some downtime or inconvenience."
"Technical support was able to address everything that I asked in a timely, responsible, satisfactory manner."
"It gives you a lot of flexibility when it comes to travel; it doesn't matter where you're at, I traveled overseas to Vietnam and was able to log in, and you can log in from anywhere in the world, so from that standpoint, it gives you access 24/7 no matter where you're at."
"This is a scalable solution and we use it amongst a bunch of clients; we'd use it on one computer for one person, and we would use it on 50 computers for one company."
"The biggest thing is the flexibility, you can use it as long as you can get an internet connection. You can use it pretty much anywhere you're at. It just makes it a lot easier. We are a small staff, and if nobody is in the office, LogMeIn gives us secure access to get in there."
"Once I landed on LogMeIn, they were so reliable, and they fitted my needs so well, that I have been satisfied ever since."
"The remote services feature is definitely the most valuable, along with the capability to print remotely."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to seamlessly launch a Calling Card on a user’s desktop to quickly and securely access their computer with reboot integration and data transfer."
 

Cons

"Customer service used to be better. In the last couple of years, support has not been very good, even with Premier and Premium support. It's been very hit-or-miss."
"It would be great if Intune offered better data protection controls for BYOD Windows PCs."
"I expect Microsoft Intune to have more features in the cloud because there are two major functionalities that we need to be added. This is software metering and license management. These functionalities, for now, must be on-premise. For this purpose, we have set up a SQL Server and I hope that in near future this option will be in the cloud in Microsoft Intune."
"It needs certificate provisioning for S/MIME purposes."
"There have been instances where enrolling devices should take 10 minutes but ends up taking an hour due to various issues."
"Improvements can be made by allowing server integrations since it is an area where the product currently has shortcomings."
"Microsoft Intune has a few areas where it could improve, such as faster policy and app deployment, a better user interface, stronger support for non-Windows devices, improved reporting and visibility, easier troubleshooting tools, and more transparent pricing."
"Lacking in features such as Wi-Fi and network security."
"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."
"LogMeIn is a great product, and unfortunately, is a necessary evil."
"At certain times of the day, during the "rush hour," it's very slow. I don't know if it's the latency of the internet or the amount of people on it in the afternoon at 4:00, 5:00pm. Getting data transferred takes a longer time than other times of the day."
"Would like for the client to be searchable."
"It's never cheap enough. If we got it for free, that would be perfect. But I know it's not and won't be free. It's always going to be too expensive for me because we're a small company."
"The only issue is that they could have a tier between 10 seats and 50."
"Remote Access for external and internal customers."
"The UI could be a little bit more robust."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is reasonable for the features it has."
"Previously the price was $4 per month per user. Now it's $2.25 per user per month."
"The overall pricing of Microsoft Intune is good for companies that have big IT budgets, 3,000 or more users and devices."
"Microsoft Intune is included in the E5 license at no additional cost."
"I don't have any problem as far as cost is concerned. It is bundled with our license."
"The cost is handled through our Office 365 license, so I have yet to be able to compare it directly with other tools in its class."
"Microsoft licenses are costly."
"The pricing needs improvement."
Information not available
"Pricing is what I'm upset with. Now, that they bought everybody up, the price doubled."
"My company needs to make annual payments toward the licensing cost of the product. There are no extra costs in addition to the standard license fees of the product."
"We're paying $839 a year, so we're paying about $70 a month. We're using the smallest version of Pro."
"It's pretty fair for up to five computers I think (it might be three - it's either three or five). After that, it gets a little expensive, so if they could get a little bit more aggressive on how many computers you can add in, that would be great."
"I think it's competitively priced. I haven't priced it out since we started with it, but the yearly subscription fee is worth it. It's not outrageous, and I believe that it's worth it for our company to pay the fees for the use of the product."
"It is expensive, but in the long run we still come out ahead, because it saves us so much labor and downtime driving from one location to the other. In the end it's well worth the expense."
"It is very good."
"I did not deal with the financial aspect but my impression is that they are more expensive."
