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.

A highly stable and scalable remote tool that can be used for remote solutions
LogMeIn is a remote tool that I use for remote solutions The solution’s pricing could be improved. We are a service integrator and have been using LogMeIn Rescue for quite a while now. I rate LogMeIn Rescue ten out of ten for stability. Our customers are mostly medium and enterprise…

Has supported access for thousands of endpoints while reducing communication delays
The software offers compatibility with different versions of Microsoft Windows, ease of use, and features such as file transfer and other capabilities. Screenshot functionality is supported, and it has built-in chat functionality which we use occasionally. The product is seamless, easy to use, easy to implement and configure. We did not require any support whatsoever. It is affordable and allows simultaneous connections, which is beneficial for technical support.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ability to switch between Affinity and non-Affinity enrollment is great."
"Microsoft Intune brings all of my endpoint and security management tools into one place because endpoint management is very vast."
"The security posture is very good. It's very customizable."
"Endpoint Manager has been around the longest, it's survived, it's matured and it's the top dog in general."
"I can control applications, and I can secure applications by using the MAM policy, which is very effective and very helpful in protecting our users' data on mobile devices such as iPhones and Android phones."
"From the user perspective, Microsoft Intune enables access to corporate data and apps even on personal devices, which is convenient."
"Autopilot is the most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune."
"Since the introduction of Microsoft Intune, we have had the problem completely taken care of."
"It works with different operating systems, I can connect to a PC or Mac."
"I will say 100% in five years, I do not think we have had to use technical support for anything."
"I can remote reboot and know I can reconnect automatically without having to have the end user log back in again."
"Has an easy way to remote on to a remote computer without having prior access to it."
"​Our favorite feature is being able to diagnose customers' problems by seeing them on the screen, rather than just over the phone."
"The time it takes to troubleshoot one of our users is cut significantly."
"It is very stable. It adjusts to bandwidth very well."
"I have technicians all over, and not everybody is an expert in all areas. They are able to bring other expertise from different locations with the click of a mouse. They can invite in other technicians, so I can have most of the technicians collaborate on the same question, and that’s really amazing."
"The product is seamless, easy to use, easy to implement and configure; we did not require any support whatsoever."
 

Cons

"We are facing issues with Apple products. With macOS and iOS, there are some difficulties with the updates because we cannot get full control of Apple products. In the case of Windows, it is fine, but in the case of Apple, we have some difficulties. We cannot control everything through Intune."
"Microsoft's technical support is good, but I feel it is quite slow."
"Microsoft Intune is not as fast and extensive as traditional solutions such as SCCM and others."
"The reporting and troubleshooting experience for Microsoft Intune could be more detailed and easier to navigate, especially when diagnosing policy sync or device compliance issues across large environments."
"I would say the interface and dashboard summarizing the devices' status and compliance could be improved."
"Onboarding of endpoint devices is not straightforward. The onboarding process was a little heavier than I thought it would be. That's the key improvement area. Obviously, the more control you have over the devices, the better it is."
"What would make this product better is adding more security policies and features in the next upgrade."
"However, there are some areas that need improvement, such as the troubleshooting part, which could be simpler."
"​The interface is not ​user-friendly. It looks a little outdated.​ I think the options are there. I think just the layout needs improvement.​"
"I do wish there was an application to manage all of the admin properties of the subscription, rather than having to use the web portal."
"The app itself requires so many different updates and it requires us to rebuild it every time, and that's been a bit of a problem, over the last five years, in keeping it up to date for our clients."
"I wish this product was tied to a Help Desk package so I could manage tickets and have an infrastructure, with this being the primary tool to troubleshoot."
"You should be able to remote on an iPhone like you remote on an Android. It is not the same experience. Unless you are very savvy on iOS, you are pretty much lost.​"
"I occasionally need to reboot my computer after using LogMeIn, due to an issue with IE. It stops responding to keyboard input every once in a while, after disconnecting from a session. A reboot resolves it."
"Nothing's perfect but I think it's really a great tool just the way it is. The suggestion that I made to them at their user advisory board is that they combine the two products, Rescue and Central, into one because you really should have both. A bunch of the other people in that meeting very much liked that."
"​The pricing, is a little on the high end but it's proven itself to be worth it for sure."
"Compatibility with other operating systems such as Mac and Linux would be advantageous."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is expensive. The cost depends on the license that we choose."
"Even if they charge a premium, they aim to provide equal value."
"The price could be better."
"The pricing for Microsoft Intune is reasonable. Our clients are satisfied."
"Microsoft Intune is not cost-effective as a standalone product."
"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."
"There is a license required to use this solution. However, it was part of a bundle package. Microsoft Intune is far less expensive than other solutions, such as Workspace ONE."
"Our Office 365 Business Premium license, including Office 365 and Intune Management, offers excellent value."
"The cost of LogMeIn is high... I went with another product that was going to give me savings of 50%. One technician tested it, he gave us the thumbs up. Then once we moved all my technicians to it, but it didn’t work... Trying to move from LogMeIn hindered our performance and productivity and it was not worth the savings."
"The only downside is pricing. I think each technician license is somewhere around $100 or $120 a month now. So if you have a lot of technicians, it can get expensive, for a small business."
"It is ​on the medium to high side. For us, it is worth it. For the amount of time they save us, it pretty much pays for itself.​"
"​The rescue model is licensed by user."
"The pricing is a little on the higher side, though.​"
"The pricing is worth the value."
"Look at the different plans they have. Do not pay for a plan you do not need.​"
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
