Joseph Merusi

Collaborations engineer at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees

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.

Feature-rich, easy to use, and has responsive technical support

We are working on the proof of concept for both MobileIron and Workspace ONE. We are only testing MobileIron and Workspace ONE. After that, we will decide which device to use. Workspace ONE by VMware Similarly, we will use MobileIron as a mobile device management tool, allowing us to manage our endpoints remotely. So far, we have not had any issues with VMware, and we have resolved some, if not all, of the issues. I have been testing with VMware Workspace ONE for the same amount of time as MobileIron UEM, three weeks. We are using the latest version, and it is deployed on a public cloud. The cloud provider is VMware. I have also been working with Google Chrome. Google Workspace is an email production tool provided by Google. We don't have a firewall because we're in the cloud right now. We have no on-premises network and all of our systems are hosted in the cloud.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Mobile device management is most valuable."

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

"What I like most about Intune is its seamless enrollment process, particularly the Autopilot method."

"Intune's integration with Microsoft 365 is exceptional."

"A great solution for anyone wanting a modern endpoint device management solution."

"It's easy to manage."

"Previously, we used on-prem SCCM to deploy applications we built manually. After migrating to Intune, we automated and streamlined the process of deploying applications with autopilot. I can do more with my day. I can manage more applications and ensure that they're updated without monitoring and manually starting that process all over again."

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

More Microsoft Intune pros

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

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

"The company provides great customer service."

"The user interface is user-friendly."

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

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

"The most valuable feature we have found currently is probably patch management."

"The most valuable features of NinjaOne include remote desktop management, support and assistive tools, and screen sharing."

"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 most important aspect of this tool is the security it provides our company."

"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."

"The software's automation tools have solved critical deployment problems for small businesses."

"It helps us to be able to have visibility into the overall performance of the servers, laptops, and desktops that we are managing currently."

"NinjaOne's best feature is its monitoring."

More NinjaOne pros

Cons

"In terms of the admin experience, it is straightforward, but the Windows enrollment experience could be improved. Sometimes, for enrollment, we have to reset devices and re-enroll them. Just configuring Windows, Azure, or Active Directory doesn't enroll the devices. We need easy enrollment for Windows."

"Intune could be improved by organizing different solutions, like Defender and Sentinel, into a single package. This would allow us to focus on security while Microsoft manages other areas. Having a unified solution would drive better management of various sectors. Although the Intune user experience is good, we should continue enhancing it."

"The reports that are generated aren't so great. They don't give a lot of meaning so far, but that could be down to user knowledge than the actual reporting side of things. I'm not a big user of it, but I was a bigger user of MaaS360, and we used to be able to run weekly and monthly reports. In the case of any deviations. we'd get a warning immediately. That's not so easy to do or to get in place for Intune. This could be just a user issue, but when I compare both, that's the only thing that's lacking for me."

"Microsoft Intune has a latency response time issue. The latency has room for improvement."

"Intune needs to incorporate more tools to reduce the number of third-party applications we rely on."

"In the next release, I would like a feature to be able to properly lock down the device. For example, if an attacker or somebody steals the phone, you can be sure that the pin cannot be broken."

"The interface is not as modern as some competitors in terms of single pane of glass visibility across the entire landscape. It has a very Azure vibe and may not be as graphically appealing as other products."

"If we could remote into a device, it would be great. Currently, we cannot directly connect to the user device. We have to use other tools such as VMware for connecting to devices."

More Microsoft Intune cons

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

"MobileIron UEM could improve the monitoring of devices."

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

"UI needs an upgrade, feels very outdated."

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

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

"The release of new versions often goes in the wrong direction with Ivanti. The test team or the testing procedures are flawed because they release new versions with numerous basic issues."

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

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

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

"NinjaOne's dashboard could be easier to use."

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

"I would like to see more scripts for PowerShell commands."

"It can have more integrations with third-party providers, such as Deep Instinct. They do partner with certain antivirus or remote access tool partners, but they can increase their portfolio to have more choices."

"The graphical user interface could be improved."

More NinjaOne cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a license required to use the solution. If you're core users in Office 365, for example, you have Outlook email and E3 license, this is only email. You have to buy an EMS license to have Microsoft Intune. It is expensive."

"The cost is somewhat on the higher side, particularly when considering certain price points, especially in markets like India."

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

"Its price is in the medium range. It is acceptable because you're paying for the features. I am not aware of any additional costs."

"Consider the Microsoft Enterprise Mobility Suite rather than choosing specific sub-components, e.g. only Microsoft Intune."

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

"The pricing for Intune and the competitor products are all within the same range, there is no true advantage when it comes to cost."

"Our Office 365 Business Premium license, including Office 365 and Intune Management, offers excellent value."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"My impression is that MobileIron is very expensive."

"The price of MobileIron UEM is very good."

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

"Its pricing is great."

"We got a pretty good deal. It was fairly affordable."

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

"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."

"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."
