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.

Allows us to revert to an optimal system state. I would like to see a faster Google Drive Sync.
* Deep Freeze: Ensures that I can maintain a baseline of an optimal system state where performance and system security are guaranteed. No matter how long a computer is in use, it will always revert to that same condition. * Data Igloo: Has been an important feature for me because on a frozen computer, the user's files and folders would have been redirected to the ThawSpace, thereby avoiding data loss upon a system restart. Users no longer have to worry when saving their files naturally to the Documents, Pictures, Music, Video, or Downloads folders or when manually saving their files to other locations. Data Igloo has been configured to handle all that.

Has simplified remote software delivery and script management but needs improved reporting flexibility and better Mac support
NinjaOne's best features include ease of use regarding enablement and deployment, a broad selection and ability of software enablement, and API deliveries. Using CrowdStrike, we are able to tie in NinjaOne's API to have these automatically deliver to endpoints upon addition of those devices to a group with that policy deployed to it. NinjaOne has positively impacted our organization by making delivery easier for our end users and improving the ability to create scripts, manage scripts, and check status of devices and their compliance. This easier delivery with NinjaOne gives us oversight on devices without having to be on the call or remoted in directly to a device.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Intune reduces the load on our on-prem Active Directory by having everything go to one Intune panel, so we can configure group policies, deploy applications, and manage devices, and it has really improved our operations."
"I would say that Microsoft Intune is absolutely the right choice for any organization that is already invested in the Microsoft 365 ecosystem and wants a unified cloud-native endpoint management approach."
"The most valuable aspect of the product is data loss prevention, which is really a benefit of the platform in general."
"For our office workers who are not based in Norway, when we order the PC, we can do some of the settings for them, with standardized settings, so we can set them up exactly as they are in Norway so that they're the same."
"I am easily able to manage devices and assets, especially laptops and desktops."
"We have seen a clear ROI with Microsoft Intune; time saved has reduced device setup from three to five hours to thirty minutes, and there is a workload reduction of around twenty to thirty percent less manual effort from the IT team."
"Intune significantly simplifies application deployment, mobile application management, and policy enforcement, such as restricting user access to specific applications, thereby enhancing overall environment security."
"The best feature of Microsoft Intune is that it managed the endpoints."
"The technical support is excellent, as they are persistent and thorough with their investigations, extremely polite and patient, and they keep me regularly updated on progress and tentative resolution schedules."
"NinjaOne's best feature is its monitoring."
"It just works as advertised and serves the purpose for which we got it."
"NinjaOne saves me time and improves my troubleshooting process by providing information automatically so I don't have to search for it."
"A significant feature of NinjaOne is its remote access capability, which is essential for my clients’ home office usage."
"NinjaOne helps us view the status of software patching, whether the PC is locked or unlocked."
"The best features NinjaOne offers are that I can see every device across the network regardless of location, and it is fantastic at being able to really control everything we have."
"We can use it for remote monitoring, and it also works great as a troubleshooting tool; we are able to open up a command line or a PowerShell session remotely without having to disrupt the user, and for workstation servers we have event logs, performance monitoring, system changes, software deployment, patch management, and the ability to push scripts, all through a very simple web interface with pretty good security and a more capable mobile app that allows you to see major critical alerts immediately."
"NinjaOne has positively impacted our organization by making delivery easier for our end users and improving the ability to create scripts, manage scripts, and check status of devices and their compliance."
 

Cons

"The configuration and pricing can be improved."
"The security features should be improved."
"Intune should improve the management of non-Microsoft devices. It would be better to manage Mac, Android, and other non-Microsoft operating system devices within the same Intune interface."
"I have one remark about the application management for the Android version. Often, the Play Store opens and leaves the possibility to download to the user, which is not good."
"I would like the ability to install the agent on devices from suppliers, which would enable us to implement a zero-trust strategy for guest devices."
"Enrollment into the Microsoft Intune service can still get easier, especially for legacy-managed systems, such as how we get it from a GPO or an SCCM configuration into Intune."
"The UI is not user-friendly and has room for improvement."
"In the next release, I would like a feature to be able to properly lock down the device."
"There were infinite reboot loops on some computers, especially during maintenance updates."
"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."
"The remote connectivity could be better. It works most of the time, but sometimes, there are issues."
"The reporting is lackluster. NinjaOne is great for maintaining systems, but it's hard to use it to understand the state that systems are in without going in and mining the information myself. I rate the reporting two out of 10."
"The solution could improve by optimizing the internet connection being used."
"The one feature that I believe needs improvement is the software patching."
"Lacks sufficient integrations with other PSAs."
"I want NinjaOne to improve the reports."
"I would like to see the software reduced to focus on inventory or remote help tools since many of its current functionalities are not needed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Microsoft Intune is moderately priced. There is a monthly license required to use the solution and it is approximately eight dollars per month."
"In terms of the product price and licensing costs, my company finds the product to be reasonably priced."
"The price is reasonable, but they should lower it a bit to make it more competitive. It's cheaper than AirWatch and other products, but I still feel like Microsoft can make a base version or with Exchange online or a la carte only Intune version which will be useful. A customer who doesn't want to go full-fledged E3 or E5 can take out or consume an Intune solution only for their purpose, and we want to target that customer."
"I would rate the price a four out of ten with ten being the most expensive."
"Microsoft licenses are costly."
"Most of our clients come to us with licensing already in place. On average, it costs $6 per device per month to add Intune to an Office 365 subscription, but I am not sure."
"While Microsoft charges for actual usage, it lacks discount options."
"Previously the price was $4 per month per user. Now it's $2.25 per user per month."
Information not available
"We currently pay $1.20 per device on a monthly basis."
"I rate the solution’s pricing a five out of ten, where one is the lowest and ten is the most expensive."
"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."
"NinjaOne is a little expensive but is still cheaper than competitors like Acronis or Veeam."
"Its pricing is great."
"The product's pricing depends on the number of PCs or devices."
"NinjaRMM uses a subscription model."
"We got a pretty good deal. It was fairly affordable."
