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.

Useful tunneling, beneficial enterprise integration, and priced well

The scalability of MobileIron UEM is good for on-premise and cloud deployments. MobileIron UEM has given the customer the ability to manage how many devices they have. If they have more than 10,000 devices, they need to upgrade the server. For example, they might need to upgrade the CPU or memory, et cetera. We have approximately 5,000 to 10,000 users using this solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The mobile device management is very useful."

"It has helped with compliance. It has helped to ensure that devices comply with the organization's policy. If they are not compliant and secure, they cannot access the resources."

"One of the most valuable features of Microsoft Intune is the detection and remediation script capability."

"The main advantage is that Intune performs its intended functions effectively."

"It is more efficient to have one solution rather than having security parts spread across three, four, or five solutions."

"The best feature is that we don't need to worry about downtime. We don't need to worry about the network connections of our office or the virtual private network. Everything is being done through the internet. Using Intune Autopilot, we can configure and deploy everything to the devices."

"The ability to (somewhat) manage full Windows 10 computers including EXE-based or MSI-based application deployments using Azure Active Directory as Identity."

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

More Microsoft Intune pros

"The company provides great customer service."

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

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

"The user interface is user-friendly."

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

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

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

"NinjaOne has a feature where we can create custom scripts that we can run on devices remotely."

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

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

"Good at managing updates and for remote support."

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

"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."

"A significant feature of NinjaOne is its remote access capability, which is essential for my clients’ home office usage."

"The installation is easy, it only took two minutes."

More NinjaOne pros

Cons

"We had an APNS certificate set to expire last week. We tried to renew it two days before it expired. We logged in to the APNS portal but could not find that certificate. We didn't know where it went. All the iOS devices stopped working. We contacted the Apple and Microsoft teams, and each blamed the other. This is something that Microsoft should take care of. Last week, we had so many escalations from high-profile users who couldn't access corporate data on their devices."

"I would like the ability to install the agent on devices from suppliers, which would enable us to implement a zero-trust strategy for guest devices."

"While no specific feature requires immediate improvement, the ongoing expansion of reporting and inventory capabilities promises to enhance its utility."

"Sometimes, the process is unsuccessful when we attempt to reset a device and wipe the data using Intune."

"The time we have to wait to deploy policies has room for improvement."

"The reporting needs to be a bit more interactive."

"I heard some pain points. The main thing is the learning curve. It took time to implement. It was not the best product starting out of the gate."

"Microsoft Intune is not user-friendly to manage and has room for improvement."

More Microsoft Intune cons

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

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

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

"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 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."

"MobileIron UEM could improve the monitoring of devices."

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

"The ticketing system in NinjaOne is not the best."

"I want NinjaOne to improve the reports."

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

"The remote connectivity could be better. It works most of the time, but sometimes, there are issues."

"Lacks sufficient integrations with other PSAs."

"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."

"The network monitoring needs to be improved."

More NinjaOne cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a license needed to use the solution and we are on an annual license."

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

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

"The price is reasonable, but they should lower it a bit to make it more competitive. It's cheaper than AirWatch and other products, but I still feel like Microsoft can make a base version or with Exchange online or a la carte only Intune version which will be useful. A customer who doesn't want to go full-fledged E3 or E5 can take out or consume an Intune solution only for their purpose, and we want to target that customer."

"It is not expensive."

"The overall pricing of Microsoft Intune is good for companies that have big IT budgets, 3,000 or more users and devices."

"Our enterprise agreement includes Microsoft Intune at no additional cost."

"Its price is quite okay. I wish they provide certain additional features with the same license."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"My impression is that MobileIron is very expensive."

"The price of MobileIron UEM is very good."

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

"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."

"We currently pay $1.20 per device on a monthly basis."

"NinjaRMM uses a subscription model."

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

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

"Its pricing is great."

"The pricing is reasonable and cheaper than ConnectWise."
