Joseph Merusi - PeerSpot reviewer
Everything has worked better since we started using it
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. Some features haven't been updated in a while, and Microsoft doesn't seem interested in developing them. Unless you talk to an engineer, you don't know whether there will be an update. There are communication issues, so you might start working with a feature without knowing if it will be deprecated six months from now. Some reporting areas still need development. For example, I noticed that the reporting for driver updates is still confusing.

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.

Enhances remote access and integration with third-party tools
I use NinjaOne for managing smaller clients, specifically their devices and software, for small to medium businesses. I provide remote management services through NinjaOne. It allows clients to use NinjaOne for remote access to their computers for home office purposes. This feature is highly…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The central administration con dashboard is very easy to use and provides very good oversight on all that needs to be monitored."
"The stability of Microsoft Intune is good."
"Everything has worked better since we started using Intune."
"Intune provides a centralized management solution, although its suitability depends on specific needs and comparisons with alternatives like Jamf, Kandji, or ManageEngine."
"Autopilot is the most valuable feature."
"The stability is good."
"The standout features of Intune are its excellent mobile device management and highly effective application management capabilities."
"What I like most about the tool is that it's now very easy to set up a device for someone to use. It also helps us tremendously in managing security. Before, we used on-premise management with a domain controller. It was difficult to manage security comprehensively. For example, it was hard to know which computers were updated. We weren't able to do that easily with our previous solution."
"I can do anything from a remote desktop as if I were sitting at my own PC."
"The technical support is good."
"This solution has allowed us to have a highly flexible remote access solution in DR/BC situations."
"The solution is very quick to set up."
"The installation is almost instant."
"A significant feature of NinjaOne is its remote access capability, which is essential for my clients’ home office usage."
"The customer support at NinjaOne is excellent, rated ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature we have found currently is probably patch management."
"The most relevant feature is the monitoring, which provides built-in tools for sending commands."
"The best feature of NinjaOne is the SLA system. Every IT person can check their performance, how long it takes to resolve an issue, and how many SLAs are breached."
"It just works as advertised and serves the purpose for which we got it."
"NinjaOne helps us view the status of software patching, whether the PC is locked or unlocked."
"The solution's most valuable feature is related to its remote access...I know that NinjaOne's technical support is good."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement, particularly in terms of compatibility, extending beyond the well-known major brands."
"Lacks the ability to deploy more ways of management, managing devices and processing the policies."
"Intune's reporting and logging could be improved. When troubleshooting, it's difficult to collect the logs and determine what's happening. If I want to filter out the compliant devices, I can see it from the logs, but I would like the option to drill down further."
"From my level of analysis, the feature I would prefer to see added to Microsoft Intune is extensive support. Anything that helps to diagnose the problem and solve it would be useful."
"The installation is very easy. However, to be able to configure it you will need special knowledge, such as training or self-studies to have a proper level of security. There are many settings one has to understand before being able to implement Microsoft Intune."
"Microsoft Intune lags market leaders, such as Apperian, in its MAM capabilities."
"Additional application deployment options e.g. MSI deployment with more complex parameters or additional side-by-side files, and non-MSI deployment options."
"The documentation about the custom image setup could be better. Although Microsoft provides the steps to configure Intune or set up or deploy Intune, it doesn't have much information related to custom images. If you ask, "how can we deploy the custom image?" There is no information. The steps they mention ask you to connect to your on-premises environment or create your own image on the cloud itself once there is connectivity. But I needed to go to multiple websites to get all this information. I had to figure out how to upload the custom image if you want to use the on-premise custom image for Cloud PC. If you have the proper subscription, you must have the right access, like global admin or owner. Then you can add your custom image to that. There are no steps mentioned over there. Microsoft Intune doesn't have Chrome browser support. I would like to have that support because they will want it if we pitch the product to clients."
"The pricing has tripled in a small amount of time and there is not three times better service."
"Integration could be improved. I'd prefer if the solution could integrate with our support and report tools as well as our timesheet reporting."
"If the PC is hung then it requires a reboot."
"The graphical user interface could be improved."
"NinjaOne's reporting module is cumbersome."
"NinjaOne's dashboard could be easier to use."
"There was a lot of delay with NinjaOne's ticketing system. For example, when a user creates a ticket and raises an issue, it would take 30 to 40 minutes to appear on the IT side. So the time delay issue is the main point."
"The network monitoring needs to be improved."
"Lacks sufficient integrations with other PSAs."
"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."
"The NinjaOne distribution server is highly dependent on an active directory."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For organizations that are a Microsoft shop, the pricing is compelling."
"The price of Intune is included with the license for Office 365, so we don't have to pay anything extra for it."
"It comes as a bundle, so you do not really know what the prices are. Microsoft does not break it down to the user cost for us. It is just bundled with our E5 license."
"It's affordable. It's cheaper if you have an Office 365, E5, or E3 subscription because everything is there."
"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 comes with the licensing that is common for large organizations. However, Microsoft has recently released many add-ons that are very expensive, especially for large organizations or corporations."
"There is a license required to use this solution. However, it was part of a bundle package. Microsoft Intune is far less expensive than other solutions, such as Workspace ONE."
"If you're subscribing to Premium or E3, there are no additional costs for Intune, it's included."
"It was cheap and now it is comparably expensive. It costs me $484 to use the solution with just two physical PCs."
"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."
"The pricing is reasonable and cheaper than ConnectWise."
"NinjaOne's price is fine since my workplace is an educational institution, so we get the product at a really good price considering that we do not pay taxes, making the prices very fair and worth the product."
"We got a pretty good deal. It was fairly affordable."
"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."
"I rate the solution’s pricing a five out of ten, where one is the lowest and ten is the most expensive."
"Its pricing is great."
"We currently pay $1.20 per device on a monthly basis."
"NinjaOne is a little expensive but is still cheaper than competitors like Acronis or Veeam."
