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.

Easy to deploy, stable, scalable and safe
I previously used TeamViewer. ISL Online is definitely the better choice compared to TeamViewer, as it offers a more secure connection that does not involve peer-to-peer transport, and all data is encrypted. A single license for ISL Online costs about the same as TeamViewer but with multiple licenses, ISL Online is cheaper.

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 features of Microsoft Intune that I appreciate the most are its user-friendly interface and robust security options."
"Agile and easy to deploy MDM solution that covers the maximum number of policies. Stable, scalable, and with knowledgeable technical support."
"Intune's integration with Microsoft 365 is exceptional."
"There are no complaints about the stability. It works one hundred percent of the time."
"Stable product that's easy to set up compared to other MDM products."
"Intune's security features for Apple iOS and Mac OS are helpful. We can check enrollment, manage public and private settings, and manage the organization's data using security key features."
"I really appreciate the features in Microsoft Intune, including the Intune Suite Cloud PKI."
"The most useful features in Microsoft Intune are the policy enforcement and conditional access. These features make our operations easier from a company perspective."
"We can also monitor our systems at any time from practically anywhere."
"Setting up the solution is easy and there's no maintenance involved."
"The most valuable feature is safety."
"The solution has a lot of features. It does what it is made to do and that's all we can ask for, really."
"The code can be delivered in multiple ways, including an email with a link for an unattended connection."
"It's much easier to connect with other services, and it's working great. We haven't had any problems."
"ISL Online is easy to use. It provides a single platform on which we can do everything, and it's very low maintenance. After installation, you don't need an IT manager or staff to watch over it. It's secure. It's most important for us."
"We like drawing utilities inside ISL. That helps us mark specific regions on the screen, so that end users know what to focus on."
"The most relevant feature is the monitoring, which provides built-in tools for sending commands."
"The solution's most valuable feature is related to its remote access...I know that NinjaOne's technical support is good."
"The policies are probably the most valuable features. They're similar in function to Microsoft group policies where we can have it monitor certain things or push out software on a schedule. I would rate the policies eight out of 10. They're robust, I could monitor most of the things that Windows Performance Monitoring keeps tabs on."
"The most valuable feature we have found currently is probably patch management."
"The installation is easy, it only took two minutes."
"NinjaOne is a great product. It is working and it is always developing."
"A significant feature of NinjaOne is its remote access capability, which is essential for my clients’ home office usage."
"The most important aspect of this tool is the security it provides our company."
 

Cons

"The time we have to wait to deploy policies has room for improvement."
"Intune has limited integration with non-Microsoft solutions."
"The time we have to wait to deploy policies has room for improvement."
"Microsoft Intune has a latency response time issue. The latency has room for improvement."
"Not all technicians are knowledgeable of the Microsoft solution, so they have to work on that as well."
"We would like to see the ability to use multiple personas on a device, similar to Samsung Knox, included in future updates."
"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 is not as fast and extensive as traditional solutions such as SCCM and others."
"There could be a section in the menu describing the new features and changes."
"They should improve the integrations with other incident management software to be able to send the link directly from these platforms."
"I would like to be able to access and manage all brands of smartphones."
"They need to better advertise the features."
"I would like to have a little bit more information when new features are released. They have added features that I didn't know about in the past. It would be easier for me to implement new features and consolidate them with other systems in our network if I knew beforehand."
"We miss the possibility to communicate via head-set in ISL. At the moment, we combine ISL for visual communication with Skype for verbal communication."
"It would be helpful if they had iSupport for supporting Apple phones."
"There have been times during updates when something wouldn't work quite right, however, they are quick with updates and quick with fixes."
"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."
"NinjaOne's reporting module is cumbersome."
"The remote connectivity could be better. It works most of the time, but sometimes, there are issues."
"The ticketing system in NinjaOne is not the best."
"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."
"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 inclusion of XENServer and Proxmox as virtual platforms in NinjaOne is currently missing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I liked the tool's pricing until P2 came into effect. I am unsure about the current value versus the cost of the new licensing model."
"It's affordable for the protection it gives. There are no additional costs."
"It is cheap, but as compared to Google, it is costly. Google is cheaper, but quality-wise, Microsoft Intune is better."
"The pricing is competitive, but it is not cheap."
"I am not that aware of the pricing, but as compared to other MDM solutions, Microsoft is providing a lot of things at the organizational level. So, it is quite reasonable as compared to other MDM solutions."
"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."
"The pricing for Intune and the competitor products are all within the same range, there is no true advantage when it comes to cost."
"We use Defender ATP and E5 licenses."
"We have a pay-per-use license available for 500 minutes within one year for 95 Euros. However, this option is not popular. Alternatively, we can purchase a one-year license for 339 Euros; if we need two licenses, the cost is double, and for three licenses, the cost is triple with a ten percent discount. For 99 Euros a year, we can open multiple sessions on the same computer with a multi-session subscription."
"NinjaOne is a little expensive but is still cheaper than competitors like Acronis or Veeam."
"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 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."
"Its pricing is great."
"The product's pricing depends on the number of PCs or devices."
"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."
"The pricing is reasonable and cheaper than ConnectWise."
