Jitender Singh - PeerSpot reviewer

Comprehensive cloud tools have unified identity security and device management for my clients
I would suggest a lower cost for my clients because Microsoft 365 has many other licenses that provide different types of features. Microsoft 365 Business covers most of their requirements, and for the other parts, they use other third-party tools for cybersecurity. Although Microsoft 365 Business offers some cybersecurity features, it does not offer everything, such as endpoint detection response and mitigation. For those, clients need to buy a higher version of a license, such as Enterprise E1 or E5. I think Microsoft 365 Business can be improved if it adds more features such as endpoint detection or more features from Microsoft Defender, including cloud app security. With cloud app security, the application status or application logs can be monitored. Currently, cloud app security is not part of Microsoft 365 Business. You have to purchase a standalone license for that. If that can be added, it can increase the volume of purchases for Microsoft 365 Business.

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

"It is easy to use and the features are good."
"The installation and deployment are easy to undertake, as we already have a Microsoft package."
"The product's most valuable features are quick integration and video calls."
"I would like to use different tools than Microsoft 365 Business but I am working in the IT industry and it is quite easy to use some of the editors. For my wife and sons, it is more comfortable and easier to use Office 365. I encourage them to use some kind of editor directory in the browser."
"Office products such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint are strong points of this solution."
"There isn't any other solution on the market currently that can compare to it or compete with it."
"The solution is easy to use."
"With Office 365, that's no longer a problem."
"Scalefusion has significantly increased the amount of work we can perform and has made it much easier to achieve our goals efficiently by eliminating tedious work and cumbersome processes."
"Its enhanced support for iOS and Windows devices has been particularly beneficial, expanding our service offerings to customers with diverse device environments."
"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."
 

Cons

"Microsoft 365 Business can be improved because sometimes the admin portal can be confusing, especially for a new user, and policies are spread across multiple dashboards."
"It could be flexible in terms of working with other cloud-based solutions."
"Microsoft needs to offer better technical support. We are not fully satisfied with the level of service we get."
"The solution's licensing framework needs improvement."
"It should be more affordable."
"The price could be better."
"Sometimes, it tries to be a little bit too clever in preempting things that you want to do. The settings can be pretty complicated."
"Occasionally, it does go down, however, for the most part, it's fine."
"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."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay a monthly subscription fee for the license."
"The base price is reasonable, but when it comes to the specialized tools for servers, the cost can become quite high."
"I have one of the business licenses, and then I have a few of the lower-cost ones at six bucks a month. We're a small organization of half a dozen people."
"Microsoft 365 Business could be cheaper."
"The product is expensive."
"I think it is expensive."
"There is a license for this solution and it is priced based on the users using it."
"As a customer, I would like the licensing fees should be cheaper."
