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.

Accessing multiple PCs from remote locations is easy and reliable with this solution
The solution works very well, I do not have any problem with it at all. The only problem is they have more than tripled their price in the last three years over what they used to charge. A price reduction would probably be warranted as I am not getting three times the service. My husband uses it too and he agrees that a price reduction would be the only thing he would be looking for. The vendor more than tripled the price in the last three years — so it has doubled and then doubled again. They have just kind of gone through the roof when it comes to pricing and I think that they are justifying that because of the demand.

Has good stability and an easy initial setup process
We use the solution for remote access control and endpoint protection features The solution has the best remote access control and protection features. They should provide intermediate device limit options. It would be helpful for users who require more remote control capabilities than the lower…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like the tool's integration with Apple. Anyone who creates an ID in Intune will get an Apple ID."
"It is a helpful tool to manage BYOD policies."
"When comparing Microsoft Intune to Jamf, Microsoft Intune is superior."
"The user experience is good; we could work and deploy many controls through Microsoft Intune."
"The most valuable feature is the UEM capabilities."
"Intune's compliance features are valuable because they allow immediate visibility into ongoing situations."
"The most valuable aspect of the product is that we are able to send application deployments and certifications for conditional access."
"The dashboards, the security, and the customization capabilities work very well for us."
"I can do anything from a remote desktop as if I were sitting at my own PC."
"This solution has allowed us to have a highly flexible remote access solution in DR/BC situations."
"One of the most convenient features is that I can print from it and do everything as I would if I were sitting at my own desktop."
"The technical support is good."
"This solution has allowed us to have a highly flexible remote access solution in DR/BC situations."
"Technical support is very good and very fast; we find them to be very knowledgeable."
"The solution is very quick to set up."
"The installation is almost instant."
"If you have a small footprint in the IT department, it's a very efficient tool to give a very well-rounded perspective of remote access and security control on devices, and in an environment where it's geographically disbursed."
"The ability to remotely access machines with no user intervention required at the remote terminal. Other software we used needed someone to click a link and do a download for me to provide support. Now, with LogMeIn Central, I can get in and fix things while they are away from their desks."
"I like being able to dial in and transfer files for updates."
"I function through LogMeIn, because it gives me everything I need."
"LogMeIn Central allows numerous active clients, say... 50, to use licenses for remotely accessing a computer from home, taking advantage of all the solution's built-in security features."
"The biggest thing is remote access, to be able to get inside our network to be able to fix problems."
"Provides remote access, allows me to get inside our network to be able to fix problems."
"I have called for help to their technical support, and they have been extremely helpful."
 

Cons

"The reports that are generated aren't so great; they don't give a lot of meaning so far."
"Microsoft Intune needs to support out of the box Apple Managed Device and Apple Business Managed Device with zero-touch deployment capabilities, which is something competitors provide."
"We faced issues with macOS support. The product should have better inventory and asset management."
"Technical support can be challenging when resources shift, requiring repeated explanations. Support from India sometimes provides information without the right solution."
"Some customers have reported experiencing slowness when using lower versions of the Android system."
"There are a few security features that are not available in Microsoft Intune, when compared to other products."
"I know that their AI pieces are at the infancy stage, but allowing users to do more tagging for information would be an interesting thing because Intune also directly integrates with Azure. Because a lot of the devices are hosted with that, you also get a lot of tagging of user data and other things like that."
"The most important thing is reporting. They should improve their reporting. They should give a free hand to users. In SCCM, I can create my own reports. For example, in SCCM, I can create an inventory report for my PC or for all PCs, but in Intune, we don't have an option to create any report. Microsoft claims that Intune is a successor of SCCM, but SCCM is more powerful than Intune. So, they should develop Intune more and make it equivalent to SCCM. Then, their product will be great in the market."
"Integration could be improved. I'd prefer if the solution could integrate with our support and report tools as well as our timesheet reporting."
"The only problem is they have more than tripled their price in the last three years over what they used to charge."
"If the PC is hung then it requires a reboot."
"The pricing has tripled in a small amount of time and there is not three times better service."
"This solution requires that the PC is "on" in order to reach it remotely. If the PC is hung then it requires a reboot."
"Integration could be improved. I'd prefer if the solution could integrate with our support and report tools as well as our timesheet reporting."
"The solution is expensive as hell."
"I do not like the antivirus."
"It's not really a true RMM product but more of just a remote access."
"The initial load is terribly slow and often has delays with the login page loading."
"Compared to other products, I feel that their biggest weakness has been customer service. They are very nice, but things take forever to resolve."
"It needs backwards compatibility for non-Microsoft-supported operating systems, for example, XP and 2003. In situations where I have no options but to run older operating systems, I would like for it to be backwards compatible."
"​File transfer on the free version needs improvement. Allow file transfer with drag and drop to and from Remote Desktop. ​"
"I recall that there was something about the pricing structure that wasn't ideal, but I cannot recall the exact details."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Intune is included with our F3 and E5 licenses."
"Every customer used to purchase licenses based on their needs."
"They have categorized the licenses according to the size of the business. So, if it's a smaller organization, we can choose the license accordingly. If it's a big organization, then we can choose accordingly. Everything is clearly mentioned, and we can decide. It's suitable for all kinds of infrastructure, and that's very goo"
"Pricing can be improved."
"Intune is cost-effective as it is included in some of the Office 365 packages."
"Microsoft licenses are costly."
"Microsoft's licensing is more flexible and adaptive than its competitors."
"Microsoft Intune is not cost-effective as a standalone product."
"We pay approximately 2,000 Euros a year for the solution. The licensing is all-inclusive; you don't have to pay for extra add-ons or services."
"It was cheap and now it is comparably expensive. It costs me $484 to use the solution with just two physical PCs."
"It used to be a lot cheaper but then the price shot up (doubled over the span of two years), but it's hard to switch, and most competing products are similarly priced anyway."
"It really is an expensive product for me.​"
"We went with it for pricing reasons, that it was the biggest bang for our buck, by combining the ability to have a central security console, as well as a central point for user administration."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"I complain about the price all the time. It's gone up from relatively inexpensively to, right now, about $2000 a year for me, based upon the number of machines I have. You say $2000 is not that bad, but the price has jumped up significantly over the past few years. They went three or four years without any price increases, and then they did a dramatic increase, three or four times the annual fee, two years in a row. But last year and this year it has been pretty stable."
"The price needs improvement. It is ridiculously expensive now, and no features have really changed."
"It sucks that I am paying for LogMeIn Central, LogMeIn Pro, and LogMeIn Rescue, plus LogMeIn Ignition, which is the mobile app​. It costs me a lot of money every month at LogMeIn. ​"
"Having to spend so much money on remote access is what I feel to be a necessary evil."
