Featured Reviews

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.
Stephen Yarrow - PeerSpot reviewer
Great for remote support sessions with no maintenance and excellent technical support
The remote support session is great. We really like ISL Light. That's what we use all the time. We use it almost every day. Some people use other solutions like Splashtop, for instance, where you can do unattended support. Personally, I don't like unattended support. I would worry if it would be secure. There's no way I'd want someone logging onto my machine when I'm not here. With this, I log to ISL, I give them a pin number, and they have to physically type in the pin number and physically agree to them sharing their screen. It's much more secure than some of the other solutions like TeamViewer and Splashtop where you can do unattended support. It's more secure than any of the other products out there, available at the moment. The stability is great. It's got very good uptime. The technical support is great. Setting up the solution is easy and there's no maintenance involved.

Secure, reliable, and great for remote access
It makes access very easy. If we have to work at night or after office hours, if customers report a problem, we can solve issues remotely, outside of office hours, from wherever. The initial setup is straightforward. The solution is stable. It is scalable. Technical support is easy to reach.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product has eased the deployment of Microsoft apps to the devices. We can manage it properly. We can control it and push the updates. Another company helped us with the deployment. However, we can do it internally."
"The ability to push applications on devices is valuable. You do not have to manually install applications one by one. If you like to use ten different applications, you do not have to manually go and download them one by one. Intune can compile a package for you, and then you can just push them from the admin center."
"It works well if you have a Microsoft environment."
"While Microsoft Intune boasts a wide range of features, its user-friendliness and bundled licensing cost are key considerations for me."
"It's not working perfectly, but Microsoft's Autopilot offers great visibility into automated deployment solutions."
"Conditional access has helped us tailor and enforce our security policies in the mobile space."
"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."
"Comparing this to having an endpoint management solution, the efficiency gain may be up to 80%."
"We can also monitor our systems at any time from practically anywhere."
"The most valuable feature is safety."
"We like drawing utilities inside ISL. That helps us mark specific regions on the screen, so that end users know what to focus on."
"I personally really appreciate the file transfer feature as it is really easy to use."
"The code can be delivered in multiple ways, including an email with a link for an unattended connection."
"Setting up the solution is easy and there's no maintenance involved."
"The solution has a lot of features. It does what it is made to do and that's all we can ask for, really."
"It's much easier to connect with other services, and it's working great. We haven't had any problems."
"Technical support is easy to reach."
"It is a scalable solution. "
"Screen monitoring and screen sharing, as well as screen remote control, are all very useful features."
 

Cons

"The UI is not user-friendly and has room for improvement."
"Customer service is not really good. I would give it a six out of ten. The main issue is the time it takes to get someone involved who truly understands what the product does."
"Microsoft Intune could enhance its patch management for various devices, ensuring regular updates and tracking of device privileges."
"Reporting needs to be better. Sometimes, it is way too slow, and it is not even accurate."
"If you wish to block any App Store application, there is no way to do so."
"Due to the abundance of features, there's a lot to organize, which makes managing and setting up the solution challenging. The setup is immense, and it would be good to see improvement in this area."
"Microsoft Intune is not user-friendly to manage and has room for improvement."
"It would be nice to have a location tracker for the mobile device management tool. I'm not sure if it exists but hasn't been configured or if it's missing, but we've been unable to utilize the location features."
"They should improve the integrations with other incident management software to be able to send the link directly from these platforms."
"There could be a section in the menu describing the new features and changes."
"If there is an update or new feature on ISL Online, I don't know about it. I would be happy to receive a newsletter or notification of new features or updates."
"It would be helpful if they had iSupport for supporting Apple phones."
"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."
"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."
"There have been times during updates when something wouldn't work quite right, however, they are quick with updates and quick with fixes."
"They need to better advertise the features."
"Support could be more knowledgeable."
"It could be integrated with IT management tools."
"They do have some glitches in the microphone and speaker, especially during remote access."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Microsoft Intune is available for individual purchase at a low per-device cost."
"Microsoft Intune is a cost effective choice. It is less expensive than other products on the market."
"It is reasonable for the features it has."
"For Microsoft 365 E5 clients, cost is not an issue as this product is one of the benefits."
"Microsoft Intune's costliness stems from licensing fees and the overhead associated with its management, user experience, and device remediation."
"The price could be better."
"Previously the price was $4 per month per user. Now it's $2.25 per user per month."
"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."
"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."
"Its scalability depends on the business model we purchase."
