NinjaOne enhances productivity and efficiency, showing significant time and cost savings with benefits visible within six months.
Everything we've gained from it makes my job easier day after day, and I see value in it as an engineer.

Sentiment score
7.8
NinjaOne's customer service is praised for expertise and ease of use, despite some slow technical support responses.
When a support ticket is submitted, it directly reaches someone with Intune support expertise.
When I contacted Microsoft, they had the same expertise, if not more, which is phenomenal because I felt heard and my problem was solved.
Sometimes, the support provided is excellent, and the representative is knowledgeable, while other times, the service needs improvement.
Our experience with escalation supports, including auto escalation to third-level or engineering support, has been very positive.
The customer support at NinjaOne is excellent, rated ten out of ten.
I rate customer service and support for NinjaOne at seven out of ten due to slow response times.

Microsoft Intune excels in scalability and adaptability, effectively managing thousands of devices for organizations of all sizes.
Sentiment score
7.9
NinjaOne is highly regarded for its scalability and flexibility, ideal for managing numerous devices and users efficiently.
The scalability of Microsoft Intune is ten out of ten.
Ideally, we want to automatically segregate devices based on user properties like primary use, but currently, dynamic groups seem limited to device properties.
It supports organizations with 200 endpoints and those with more than 15,000 endpoints.
I would rate the scalability of NinjaOne as ten out of ten.
The design suggests it is scalable.
 

Stability Issues

Microsoft Intune is stable with occasional issues; rated highly for reliability, though some improvements are still needed.
Sentiment score
7.9
NinjaOne is praised for stability and consistent performance, with frequent updates addressing occasional server issues and improvements.
We have not experienced downtime, bugs, or glitches.
Microsoft Intune has been very stable.
A couple of years ago, the performance was not as good as it is now, but there are noticeable backend improvements.
I would rate the stability a ten out of ten.
 

Room For Improvement

Microsoft Intune faces challenges in cross-platform support, deployment complexity, feature limitations, and integration, affecting user experience and adoption.
NinjaOne needs to improve integrations, user interface, reporting, pricing, connectivity, patching, automation, dashboard usability, and backup features.
Features like unlocking devices sometimes fail, and the support offered for other operating systems is insufficient.
There are communication issues, so you might start working with a feature without knowing if it will be deprecated six months from now.
Many third-party companies offer single-pane-of-glass reporting that shows you what your update environment looks like, how your patch is doing, application status, etc., but Intune's reporting is not intuitive.
Security and reporting, including business intelligence tools, are adequate.
The inclusion of XENServer and Proxmox as virtual platforms in NinjaOne is currently missing.
The network monitoring needs to be improved.
 

Setup Cost

Microsoft Intune offers cost-effective, flexible licensing options, especially when bundled, providing significant savings compared to alternatives like VMware and IBM.
NinjaOne is valued for its affordable, scalable pricing and cost-effectiveness, especially for small companies and educational institutions.
Introductory professional services, like a fast-track service, were included with our E5 membership, and there have been no additional costs.
The Intune suite and add-ons, such as batch management and remote help, are costly.
It costs approximately forty euros per user per month.
The pricing for NinjaOne is appropriate for small companies.
NinjaOne is reasonably priced, particularly with the inclusion of TeamViewer, SentinelOne, and Bitdefender.
The price or licensing of NinjaOne is a little bit high.
 

Valuable Features

Microsoft Intune offers efficient device management, security, and integration with Microsoft services, enhancing productivity and data protection.
NinjaOne streamlines IT management with remote monitoring, automation, and integration features, boosting efficiency for small businesses.
Intune excels in configuration and compliance management for Windows 10, ensuring devices receive timely updates and adhere to organizational standards.
Dynamic groups allow us to set conditions for automatic membership, eliminating the need for user intervention or manual review and ensuring a seamless workflow.
Windows Autopatch is the most valuable because it removes the burden of patch management.
The software's automation tools have solved critical deployment problems for small businesses.
A significant feature of NinjaOne is its remote access capability, which is essential for my clients’ home office usage.
Every month, every quarter, I see new features, and it is always evolving.

Enables management of multiple operating systems with a single license
The best feature is that it's a Microsoft product, so if anything goes wrong, we get quick support for anything required. Remote system functionality allows us to sit anywhere and take control of any device via remote management. We can enhance security for clients' laptops with built-in Microsoft Defender, which is available with the Microsoft Intune license. We use it for reporting purposes through endpoint analytics. When pushing scripting, there are two types available: remediation script and reservation script. Through endpoint analytics, you can push defender policies to clients. It helps with reporting, inventory updates, and monitoring tenant status health.
