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.

Associate Network Engineer at a computer software company with 11-50 employees

Offers remote access control, good GUI and easy to configure

I'd suggest improved documentation integration directly within the GUI. Right now, finding comprehensive documentation often requires going to external websites like the community portal. In the APM interface itself, they could add direct hyperlinks to relevant online documentation. This would provide easy access to admin guides and other resources when working within the GUI.

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

"I believe that the solution is actually in Gartner's top quadrant at the moment for mobile device management."

"Microsoft Intune is easy to use, and it is able to enforce policies towards multiple devices. It is able to bring multiple classes of devices into the same security posture. I found that very useful."

"Being able to manage the devices remotely is most valuable. We can push security requirements through Microsoft Intune."

"Intune provides full visibility into all active mobile device users. If their devices are noncompliant with our security policies, I have the flexibility to update them remotely."

"The most useful features in Microsoft Intune are the policy enforcement and conditional access. These features make our operations easier from a company perspective."

"I like how Microsoft Intune lets me lock down the email profile and make it accessible only on certain devices."

"It works pretty well for us."

"I can see that the patch management process is much improved with the bundled patch management option available in Microsoft Intune compared to the KPI deployment required by the other deployment solutions."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"The tool is reliable and easy to configure."

"Our organization is small - a college with about 3,500 students. We use F5 BIG-IP Access Policy Manager to protect our site, especially from the Iranian attacks we faced last year. We restrict access to only inside the country."

"This is a product that is easy to install and integrate, and it is simple to use."

"F5 BIG-IP APM is relatively easy to use."

"The portal access was very good."

"Our customers have never complained about the stability"

"A lot of features are useful to me, including mostly the authentication, SAML, or SSO, with no sign-on."

"The load balancing features are valuable."

More F5 BIG-IP Access Policy Manager (APM) pros

"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 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."

"It's the only product I need to be able to get to my office Outlook, to get my emails off that particular computer. Going the other way, sometimes I'll go to my home computer to do adjustments to my accounting system there."

"The remote services feature is definitely the most valuable, along with the capability to print remotely."

"Technical support was able to address everything that I asked in a timely, responsible, satisfactory manner."

"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."

"Being able to remote access my computer means I can work at night from my house."

"User interface."

More LogMeIn Pro pros

Cons

"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."

"Microsoft Intune could enhance its patch management for various devices, ensuring regular updates and tracking of device privileges."

"It would really be helpful to have the option to manage server operating systems as well, like Windows Server, at least. That way, we could scrap the use of SCCM, which requires a lot of on-premises infrastructure."

"I'd suggest adding more features for macOS in Intune. There should be more functionality for managing macOS. There should be a better capability for pushing things down on macOS. Currently, Intune is not capable of managing macOS at the same level as Windows."

"One big problem with Microsoft is that they're changing the names of the products quite often, or they're quite consistently doing so. Intune is now Endpoint administration. Constantly switching the user interface or the administrative interface makes it quite hard to keep pace. If you are on a two-week holiday and you come back and look at the same screen you have looked at for the last couple of months, it looks different, which is annoying. Changing things around all the time doesn't make it easy."

"Currently, Microsoft Intune's focus is mainly on Windows, but they can make much more improvement in terms of other platforms."

"Historically, Group Policy has simplified the management of various items, such as printer and drive mappings and while Intune offers workarounds, it lacks native support for these functionalities."

"They could also make it easier to use because there are some other products that may be easier to use in terms of the look and feel of the dashboard."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"I have had a lot of issues in the past few months with the agents, which was disappointing."

"The technical support’s response time must be improved."

"The operational deployment is not great."

"F5 BIG-IP Access Policy Manager has room for improvement in integration with other products."

"The price of this product can be improved."

"The solution is quite costly."

"The solution’s GUI looks very old."

"We do not have knowledgeable support teams locally."

More F5 BIG-IP Access Policy Manager (APM) cons

"Unfortunately, LogMeIn is a long ways from being perfect. It has a lot of really great features, though they don't always work well."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Everything has to be done over the web, via email, or something like that. You can't talk to a human being. That bothers me a lot."

"The only issue is that they could have a tier between 10 seats and 50."

"It does go down sometimes. You try to login, it tells you the workdesk computer is not available. It does kick you off a lot."

"The user interface needs improvement. Mostly, it's pretty intuitive for what I need to do, but the extra elements to it seem very complex, so I don't really try to even use those. For example, document sharing, file stuff. I can do the log-in part, but the additional features are kind of complex."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Intune's pricing is reasonable considering its benefits and the high costs it helps avoid."

"It is reasonable. When you have Microsoft 365 E3 or E5 license, it is already licensed in that license. So, you could say it is free."

"The price for Intune is fair."

"The licensing is on a yearly basis."

"I rate Intune five out of 10 for pricing. It's expensive."

"The purchase of the product was handled by someone else."

"The pricing is good because customers are not complaining about it."

"We have the business premium licenses for the solution."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."

"The product is very expensive."

"Recently, they have simplified the licensing"

"The tool is a little bit expensive."

"I did not deal with the financial aspect but my impression is that they are more expensive."

"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 is pricey. When they renew me, they always boost it up, I call them and they cut it back a little bit."

"I have a tiered pricing. If I wanted to subscribe for three years, I will get a discount for that."

"Lower the price for an individual user. "

"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."

Ease of use
Flexibility
Ability to integrate with other systems
Security features
Granular access control
Responsive and helpful support team

BIG-IP APM Features:

Support for Identity Aware Proxy (IAP) enabling Zero Trust application access
