Centralized device management has automated onboarding and improves remote security compliance
One thing I feel Microsoft Intune could improve is troubleshooting visibility. In many cases, when a policy or application deployment fails, the error messages are a bit generic. So, admins still spend time checking logs manually or testing on devices one by one. Compared to the simplicity of deployment, troubleshooting sometimes feels less mature. I also think reporting and real-time monitoring could be stronger. The dashboard gives useful information, but in large environments, many teams still depend on additional tools or scripts for deeper reporting and analytics. If I had to focus on one area first, I would probably choose troubleshooting and reporting. Deployment through Microsoft Intune is generally straightforward, but when something fails, identifying the exact root cause can still take more time than expected. Error messages are sometimes too generic, and admins often have to dig through logs, sync status, or multiple portals to understand what actually happened. I think user experience and policy management could also improve further. Microsoft Intune has become much better over the years, but sometimes the admin portal still feels fragmented because certain configurations open in different sections or redirect to older interfaces. For new admins, especially, it can take time to understand where everything is located. Another thing is policy conflict handling. In larger organizations, multiple device policies, compliance rules, and configuration profiles can overlap. When conflicts happen, the visibility is not always very clear, so admins spend time figuring out which policy actually won or caused the issue.

Good remote services feature and easy to setup
With LogMeIn Pro, we could connect up to 10 computers, and having an option for something in between would be good. Like, we went from 10 to the next level, which was around 50 or so. If there was a tier, perhaps around 20, that I would have probably purchased, and it would have been a better fit for what I needed.

It covers you for HIPAA and PCI certification
Take Control is a way to remotely take over the console of a managed machine, but it also gives you other abilities. You can take over the console, access the registry, throw commands at it in the background, and manipulate the file system Take Control enables you to collaborate with end users.…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features are that users can make screenshots, and devices only need the minimal version of iOS."
"The valuable feature of this solution is its ease of use."
"Microsoft Intune is a good solution and it is purely based on Azure cloud, so I can use all the benefits of Azure cloud in Microsoft Intune and several good features in Microsoft Intune to manage devices."
"The Microsoft Windows Autopilot and Defender policies are the most valuable features of this solution."
"If the product works, remote access will be a benefit. To this point we have not had reason to have confidence in achieving that access."
"Intune device restriction policies enable me to enforce limitations on the device, like blocking the mobile camera or restricting the employees from using and inserting USB devices, including thumb drives and flash drives."
"One valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is the enrollment process, which is user-based, making it easier to manage compared to AirWatch."
"The interface is user-friendly, and the reporting tool works in real-time."
"Customer support was great because any issues I encountered were responded to in a timely manner and they were able to resolve any issues that I had."
"The biggest thing is the flexibility, you can use it as long as you can get an internet connection. You can use it pretty much anywhere you're at. It just makes it a lot easier. We are a small staff, and if nobody is in the office, LogMeIn gives us secure access to get in there."
"I would recommend LogMeIn."
"In our experience, we haven't had any issues; it's been stable, we're able to get to it, and it helps us run our business and service our employees better."
"I can connect to them remotely and do all the functions I would have to do by manually driving to them, so it does make things a lot easier."
"The setup was pretty simple."
"I would tell others who are looking into this solution that I feel that it's a secure solution. I never had any issues with its security element. I think that it's very simple to use. I think it is user-friendly, and you can work between computers pretty well on it."
"We are using LogMeIn for our IT Management."
"Take Control enables you to collaborate with end users. It's for supporting a workstation where you want the person on the other side to see you moving their mouse, and you can work with them."
"The most valuable part of N-able Take Control is being able to remotely access your customer's site. You are able to view their network. Once you have it set up, it's always available. N-able Take Control can be used even when other remote access controls have been made."
"N-able Take Control has saved me a lot of time driving back and forth to the customer's site."
 

Cons

"It would be better if I could integrate it with my core group policy. I would like to have a group policy in my current environment, which has strict control, but those things are still missing. Although it has maximum compliance and security, it's not available on-premise."
"I would say the interface and dashboard summarizing the devices' status and compliance could be improved."
"They should improve its compatibility with other operating systems such as iOS and Linux. It supports Linux but they still need to work on the iOS part."
"Reporting can be better. Only global administrators can see detailed reports at the moment, and I don't want to use the global admin."
"There are areas that have room for improvement in Microsoft Intune, particularly regarding integrations."
"When you have a pressing issue, there is a lack of response. I believe Microsoft support needs to work on the response aspect."
"There is room for improvement in integration and security as well."
"I would like to see micro VPN. I like the way that some of the other providers have done something similar where, as you open that app on an end-point device, it creates a micro VPN straight into your device, which is quite a nice little feature. Also, Microsoft Intune relies heavily on its fellow products in the suite. It would be nice if Microsoft Intune could stand on its own two feet."
"With our recent Windows 10 rollout, there was a rough patch, but that has been corrected."
"The high pricing of the product is its only shortcoming that needs improvement."
"Remote Access for external and internal customers."
"The user interface needs improvement. Mostly, it's pretty intuitive for what I need to do, but the extra elements to it seem very complex, so I don't really try to even use those. For example, document sharing, file stuff. I can do the log-in part, but the additional features are kind of complex."
"Would like for the client to be searchable."
"Lower the price for an individual user. The company does not scale the price based upon use."
"The only drawback with LogMeIn is that the pricing structure has been increasing so rapidly, that's a turnoff."
"I would enhance the product, so if I had two screens in front of me, it could connect to two computers simultaneously with the program. For example, if I had a computer at location A and a computer at location B and I am sitting at location C, it might be nice for me to be able to be connected to all three of those computers and move data between those three during one session. ​"
"We've seen some latency problems in AWS environments. Aside from that, it's a pretty solid service."
"The dashboards I do not use because there are issues. The solution monitors your antivirus and other programs but it does not seem to work well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is expensive."
"Microsoft Intune is a cost effective choice. It is less expensive than other products on the market."
"The price of Intune is included with the license for Office 365, so we don't have to pay anything extra for it."
"Microsoft Intune has a user-based subscription model. You can go for a monthly or a yearly payment."
"Intune's pricing is reasonable considering its benefits and the high costs it helps avoid."
"Its price is quite okay. I wish they provide certain additional features with the same license."
"The clients pay for a license and each can have a different type of license, such as an E3 or E5."
"If you're subscribing to Premium or E3, there are no additional costs for Intune, it's included."
"I have a tiered pricing. If I wanted to subscribe for three years, I will get a discount for that.​"
"We're paying $839 a year, so we're paying about $70 a month. We're using the smallest version of Pro."
"The price point has gone up significantly. We used to have a lot of other customers. I used to sell it to other customer sites. But they've moved to TeamViewer, SiteSecure, and several others. There are four or five others that they went to because they're being more competitive on their pricing."
"The company does not scale the price based upon use."
"I did not deal with the financial aspect but my impression is that they are more expensive."
"It's pretty fair for up to five computers I think (it might be three - it's either three or five). After that, it gets a little expensive, so if they could get a little bit more aggressive on how many computers you can add in, that would be great."
"I think it's competitively priced. I haven't priced it out since we started with it, but the yearly subscription fee is worth it. It's not outrageous, and I believe that it's worth it for our company to pay the fees for the use of the product."
"It is pricey. When they renew me, they always boost it up, I call them and they cut it back a little bit."
"N-able Take Control charges you a monthly fee for every customer that you have booked in, and it used to be inexpensive but it's a little bit more expensive now."
