Featured Reviews

CharlesBrewer - PeerSpot reviewer
Price and reliability need improvement while general tasks are streamlined
The pricing for Microsoft 365 is too high, and quality-wise, it does not meet high standards. The operating system is outdated and inadequate. Microsoft has very poor security, and Defender is ineffective. In terms of collaboration and file sharing, OneDrive is very clunky and has frequent sync issues. It also crashes a lot and is unreliable.
Jijin Joseph - PeerSpot reviewer
An MDM solution for controlling and restricting data on devices
Everyone is using high-end devices, such as mobile devices. If they lose their devices, how about the data copied to other devices? Once the device is lost, you can remotely delete all of the data and block the device, preventing anyone from using or reusing it. This will keep your devices secure.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"When trying to compare other products there are not a lot of product that can even compare with the functionality."
"The platform is stable and easy to use."
"Offers a great load utilization tool."
"Another nice thing is that Microsoft has infrastructure within our borders. From a GDPR point of view, our data needs to reside within South Africa's borders, and they've got data centers here. That helps because our government has stringent regulations that say the data we can't store data in the cloud outside of our borders."
"One of the most valuable features is this solution makes a lot of tasks easier, such as storing files and the maintenance of your infrastructure. additionally, the solution is easy to use."
"The most valuable features are that it is quite robust and is a collaborative model."
"It is easy to use and user-friendly. Its performance is also good."
"You can have conference calls with different parties using video and voice."
"Scalefusion is easy to use, and they have a broad knowledge base, so you can quickly find answers if you're unsure how to do something. The articles on the knowledge base are well-written, with clear steps on what to do for a specific scenario. That part is well documented."
"Its enhanced support for iOS and Windows devices has been particularly beneficial, expanding our service offerings to customers with diverse device environments."
 

Cons

"They should improve the screen sharing feature in Microsoft Teams."
"Outlook doesn't sync with Google Calendar."
"n the future, a dashboard should be included."
"The downside of Microsoft 365 Business stems from the fact that it is a bit of a pricey product."
"I thought that Skype was a part of the product's offering, however, it's my understanding that that is not the case."
"The integration with other platforms could be improved."
"There should be more alignment between Windows solutions, mobile solutions, and web solutions."
"Price is an area for improvement, as spending less money would always be preferable. However, the comprehensive nature of the solution justifies the cost."
"One area for improvement could be streamlining permissions during initial device setup, especially for corporate-owned devices, to reduce manual user interaction and expedite deployment."
"It could be easier to put devices on the blocklist. I would like the ability to block a device with a click of a button. Currently, we have to sift through different groups to block a device. It would be nice if Scalefusion allowed me to block without moving the device to a different profile. Another helpful feature they could add is the ability to migrate from one MDM to another. I'd also appreciate more extensive cloud storage. They give you 1 GB by default, but sometimes that's not enough."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool’s licensing and pricing are interconnected. There are different levels of licensing."
"I think that the price is fair."
"As a customer, I would like the licensing fees should be cheaper."
"There is a licensing cost, but considering the features that it's equipped with, it's not that expensive."
"The licensing of the solution is monthly."
"The solution is expensive. Basic support comes free with the regular subscription but the premier support cost extra."
"Licensing is on a monthly basis."
"The License is on a yearly basis."
