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.

Offers scalability and ability to create granular policies

It is a very easy-to-manage and granular policy-based solution. Policies that you can create per device per user behavior are the most valuable feature In future releases, I would like to see more automation or bringing in AI into to understand device behavior. I have been using it for five…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Intune is effective because of the configuration management and endpoint security it provides. The graphical interface makes it easier to configure and deploy devices."

"It is a comprehensive security solution that not only controls access to enterprise resources but also tracks and prevents unauthorized access, ensuring the protection of sensitive data and preventing potential data loss scenarios."

"The biggest thing for us is enforcing logins only from devices that are managed by Intune."

"We already use a lot of Microsoft products in our company, and therefore, it made sense to also use this product."

"The most valuable feature of Intune is the user-friendly portal for end users."

"The mobile device management is very useful."

"It works well if you have a Microsoft environment."

"Based on my experience, I find Intune very flexible for managing Windows devices. We can use scripting, and we can make use of the self-service portal or the company portal to publish some of the applications for Windows."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"The solution is easy to work with. I like its stability and flexibility."

"It is a very easy-to-manage and granular policy-based solution. Policies that you can create per device per user behavior are the most valuable feature."

"The terminal remediation feature is valuable."

"The most valuable features of the Ivanti Avalanche are the remote control and the file transfer."

"Installing the packages remotely and remote control are the most valuable features. There are around 100 pieces or devices, and the only way to send a package to a device is by connecting to the PC and then manually sending the package. By using Avalanche, we can send a package to all devices with one click. It is very stable and easy to use. Their technical support is also very good. We have implemented this solution for our clients, and they are satisfied with this solution. It does what it is meant to do."

"The most useful feature of Avalanche is remote control — especially the ability to remotely install packages to many devices all at once. When the client has, for example, 100 devices needing updates, it would take far too long to update each device individually. But with Avalanche, we just connect to all the devices through the PC and send the updates out with one click."

"The initial setup is straightforward."

"The product provides us with information about the incidents. It helped us block specific devices remotely."

"We use SOTI MobiControl for managing Android device management."

"The most valuable features are remote control and geo-fencing."

"I've really enjoyed the use of the file sync when I'm administrating version control in my program."

"The best feature is its compatibility with various device versions, such as Windows, making it work seamlessly."

"The company's support is the best. That'd be the number one thing."

"The remote control we have helps us a lot."

More SOTI MobiControl pros

Cons

"Intune has all the features enabled for Windows devices but needs to be improved on iOS and Apple devices."

"One drawback of Intune is that we cannot find devices based on a user's region or location."

"A more incisive reporting tool with automated progress updates and graphical representation would be beneficial, as the current manual method lacks efficiency and visual clarity."

"Customer service used to be better. In the last couple of years, support has not been very good, even with Premier and Premium support. It's been very hit-or-miss."

"Microsoft support was not very responsive, and it took approximately one and a half months to get on a call to clear what the problem was."

"Since GMS is unavailable in China, we currently rely on device administrator enrollment for managing Android devices there."

"The solution could be improved by the opportunity to connect third-party application databases, such as Chocolatey or another setup store, to Intune."

"The current Intune reporting functionality could benefit from some improvements."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"The tool's stability could be better."

"Because our clients are all very satisfied with Ivanti from their side, there is little I can say about room for improvement. However, I think that to stay competitive with other solutions offering a similiar solution, Ivanti could look into making their products more affordable."

"In future releases, I would like to see more automation or bringing in AI into to understand device behavior."

"There is a lack of flexibility."

"Its price could be improved. It could be cheaper. I would like to see a better approach for Android and an easy way to send packages and manage devices."

"The solution can improve by adding a kiosk mode option to the devices."

"Most of our devices are Android, they're Google related, so we need access from Google to do certain things. There are ways around that, but that's something that we're really looking for. How can we control the Apple Air? How can we get into that app?... How can we make sure that that app doesn't try to update in the middle of the day when our driver needs it?"

"The remote screen of the solution gets stuck at times. So, that needs to be improved."

"The UI could be improved to be more user-friendly."

"There is room for improvement in the support."

"There are some limitations with the remote control feature, and the interface occasionally experiences issues."

"There could be a feature for user ID management."

"There is room for improvement when it comes to the ability to customize devices and choosing what information goes onto them."

"The previous version, for example, had the networking signal and that feature was great. When we were troubleshooting, we could find the level of the network I/O. If the worker was working in a corner of the warehouse where the signal was not as strong as in another part of the warehouse, we could tell, "Just move a little and you will have coverage for your device." That was great. I don't know why they removed it from the newer version."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its price is fair. It's a normal price. It isn't too expensive or too cheap."

"It's a part of Microsoft 365 and E5 licenses. Microsoft's strategy of making every feature in Microsoft Intune paid needs optimization. Remote control is one of the basic features, not a luxury feature, yet we must pay for it. I"

"Microsoft Intune is pretty reasonable. We have difficulty with Azure, which is probably why we have not put many assets in Azure. Everything we put there is very expensive."

"On a scale of one to ten with one being the cheapest, the cost of Microsoft Intune is a five."

"It's monthly for us, but it's built into the license cost that we pay our IT each month. It's maybe 129 Kroner per head, which translates to £10. There are some additional costs. Our IT had to set up and configure their own server, so there is an extra cost for that, but I'm not sure what that costs."

"It is reasonable for the features it has."

"The pricing needs improvement."

"It's affordable. In comparison to the competitors, the price depends on what features you need from Intune, but it's affordable. There are no hidden costs, but there are some features that go for a premium price. Those are the add-ons for which you have to pay extra."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"Other than the standard licensing fee, there aren't any additional or hidden costs, although I believe Avalanche could be made more affordable in general."

"Although the solution is a bit costly in my opinion, for customers who really need this solution, Ivanti Avalanche is worth it."

"You will need to purchase licenses for each device."

"The license is based on assets. I would rate the pricing a six out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

"It is expensive. Its price could be cheaper."

"Its pricing policy is not stable. The licensing is on a one-yearly, two-yearly, or three-yearly basis. There is no monthly fee."

"It's a little bit expensive."

"You need to secure a license on a per-device basis."

"The price is average. SOTI manages the price according to the type of client they have. I would rate the cost as five out of ten."

"There are solutions that can be more aggressively priced, but they may not provide all that SOTI does. It's a matrix regarding what feature you use. You need to compare the features you use and what you are willing to pay for them... SOTI's pricing is okay. It's in the middle... They can provide more aggressive pricing once you start to have a lot of licenses."

"There are additional costs if you want to use extra features."

"SOTI MobiControl is a budget-friendly solution."

"SOTI's pricing seems to be competitive."
