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.

Seamless provisioning and application deployment enhance workflow, yet enhancements in asset and software spend management roles are acknowledged

The zero-touch capability where you can install all the business applications and deliver the laptop to the user, who just needs to log on to complete everything without any human intervention, are the best features in Ivanti Neurons for MDM. We have security features, patch management, compliance reports, and dashboards integrated within Ivanti.

Assistant Vice President, Tech Solutions at LPL Financials

Has simplified remote software delivery and script management but needs improved reporting flexibility and better Mac support

NinjaOne's best features include ease of use regarding enablement and deployment, a broad selection and ability of software enablement, and API deliveries. Using CrowdStrike, we are able to tie in NinjaOne's API to have these automatically deliver to endpoints upon addition of those devices to a group with that policy deployed to it. NinjaOne has positively impacted our organization by making delivery easier for our end users and improving the ability to create scripts, manage scripts, and check status of devices and their compliance. This easier delivery with NinjaOne gives us oversight on devices without having to be on the call or remoted in directly to a device.

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."

"For Windows services, there are multiple options within Intune to modernize it to be more internet-facing and dynamic."

"The solution is easy to use and it has good performance."

"The reporting and analytics features in Microsoft Intune have been a lifesaver."

"For our clients, the conditional access feature along with different compliance policies that they can set is valuable."

"Overall, the stability is good."

"Intune does consolidate all endpoint and security management tools into one place, making everything easier to manage."

"It's not working perfectly, but Microsoft's Autopilot offers great visibility into automated deployment solutions."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"The most valuable features of MobileIron UEM are tunneling and enterprise integration."

"The company provides great customer service."

"The most valuable feature is that everything is in one place, which makes it easy to manage."

"The user interface is user-friendly."

"It's effective in what it is able to achieve and it's easy to use."

"The security features in Ivanti Neurons for MDM are very effective, which is why we have been distributing it for the past 15 years."

"The products are quite good when they are operational."

"We can use it for remote monitoring, and it also works great as a troubleshooting tool. We are able to open up a command line or a PowerShell session remotely without having to disrupt the user. They have a limited network device monitoring capability, but for workstation servers, we have the event logs. We can do performance monitoring, system changes, software deployment, and patch management. We can also push scripts. It has a very simple web interface. There are no additional things to do there. Security is also pretty good. It does the same things that the other competitor's tools do. One of the advantages of Ninja is that they have a more capable mobile app, which allows you to see the alerts immediately. I get alerted to major critical issues."

"The tool's most valuable feature is third-party application updates."

"NinjaOne is a great product. It is working and it is always developing."

"The most relevant feature is the monitoring, which provides built-in tools for sending commands."

"NinjaOne's best feature is its monitoring."

"NinjaOne saves me time and improves my troubleshooting process by providing information automatically so I don't have to search for it."

"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 customer support at NinjaOne is excellent, rated ten out of ten."

More NinjaOne pros

Cons

"A feature I would want to see added in Microsoft Intune is the ability to manage other non-Microsoft devices."

"An area for improvement is the absence of seamless integration, particularly with external dashboards."

"I have a lot of Apple products in my environment. It would be nice to have an improved integration of Apple products with Microsoft Intune without Jam."

"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."

"There are challenges with Intune, specifically in reporting. Many third-party companies offer single-pane-of-glass reporting that shows you what your update environment looks like, how your patch is doing, application status, etc., but Intune's reporting is not intuitive. You can connect to Azure, monitoring, and the workbooks, but it's not streamlined."

"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."

"The installation could be improved to be simplified."

"Currently, BitLocker does not support BYOD enrollment, which is a product limitation."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"The interface is complicated and not very easy to use."

"MobileIron UEM could improve the monitoring of devices."

"The release of new versions often goes in the wrong direction with Ivanti."

"The integration between the MobileIron and Advanced Neurons isn't completely in sync, and we're still working on that."

"The MDM, asset management, and software spend management are areas that could have more improvement in Ivanti Neurons for MDM."

"The disadvantage in connection with Windows devices is that the pushing of policies takes some time."

"UI needs an upgrade, feels very outdated."

"We would like the initial setup to be simpler."

More Ivanti Neurons for MDM cons

"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 reporting is lackluster. NinjaOne is great for maintaining systems, but it's hard to use it to understand the state that systems are in without going in and mining the information myself. I rate the reporting two out of 10."

"The inclusion of XENServer and Proxmox as virtual platforms in NinjaOne is currently missing."

"The solution could improve by optimizing the internet connection being used."

"The NinjaOne distribution server is highly dependent on an active directory."

"One challenge I face with NinjaOne is that when remoting in, sometimes the end user has a resolution with very tiny text, making it necessary to zoom in to see what the other computer is displaying."

"I want NinjaOne to improve the reports."

"NinjaOne's pricing and user interface needs improvement."

More NinjaOne cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Intune is included in the Microsoft 365 licensing package that we have."

"Intune is cost-effective as it is included in some of the Office 365 packages."

"We work with the subscription rather than a server license. I think it's economical this way because we don't have to have a server license for that, and I think that works in our favor."

"It's a bit expensive from a licensing perspective, especially as we look to have organizations with tenants across the globe."

"Microsoft offers some licensing where it's included at no extra cost when customers are already using the licenses. In such a case, it's a really good value. If you have to buy the licensing for it, it's probably on par with other solutions. It isn't substantially more or less expensive. The great thing is that it is included in some of Microsoft's licensed packages. So, some customers don't have to spend additional money for it. Typically, most providers that support Intune do charge a management fee of some sort or some fee. Certainly, we're no exception."

"It's affordable for the protection it gives. There are no additional costs."

"The cost is handled through our Office 365 license, so I have yet to be able to compare it directly with other tools in its class."

"While Microsoft charges for actual usage, it lacks discount options."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"My impression is that MobileIron is very expensive."

"The price of MobileIron UEM is very good."

"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."

"Its pricing is great."

"I rate the solution’s pricing a five out of ten, where one is the lowest and ten is the most expensive."

"NinjaRMM uses a subscription model."

"NinjaOne is a little expensive but is still cheaper than competitors like Acronis or Veeam."

"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 product's pricing depends on the number of PCs or devices."

"The pricing is reasonable and cheaper than ConnectWise."
