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.

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.…
Norman Chan - PeerSpot reviewer
Graphical interface improves diagnostics, but external integration and support team knowledge need enhancement
I am working with SOTI XSight for some customers. Mainly in Hong Kong, we primarily have government customers The graphical user interface within SOTI XSight is intuitive and much more beautiful than traditional SOTI MobiControl. The user interface is a critical component of the diagnostic tools.…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Autopilot is the most valuable feature."
"The solution is easy to use."
"We can implement a MAM policy in this Intune and protect the device through mobile application development without touching it. The interface is easy to use and understand."
"There are no complaints about the stability. It works one hundred percent of the time."
"It is a cloud solution, and you can easily scale as your needs grow."
"The overall user experience is quite nice. I have no complaints from end users regarding their devices enrolled in Intune."
"Microsoft Intune has been a time saver and reduces the time and effort IT admins have to invest."
"I rate Intune 10 out of 10."
"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."
"The graphical user interface within SOTI XSight is intuitive and much more beautiful than traditional SOTI MobiControl."
"I recommend SOTI XSight to other businesses because it ensures device availability and helps avoid operational delays that could impact revenue."
 

Cons

"It could offer more attributes for authentication."
"Sometimes, updating a client policy is very difficult. This needs to be improved."
"Sometimes the syncing is inconsistent. I'm confident that the devices are checking in every eight hours, but sometimes the devices aren't picking up the settings as quickly as I would expect. Some features haven't been updated in a while, and Microsoft doesn't seem interested in developing them. Unless you talk to an engineer, you don't know whether there will be an update."
"A major challenge is making all the products work within device management solutions like Intune. It would be beneficial if Microsoft removed support for older products much earlier in the process."
"Deploying an app can be a complex process due to dependencies."
"Additional application deployment options e.g. MSI deployment with more complex parameters or additional side-by-side files, and non-MSI deployment options."
"Some customers have reported experiencing slowness when using lower versions of the Android system."
"One thing that could be better in Microsoft Intune is the file size, as it is quite large at times."
"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."
"We've seen some latency problems in AWS environments. Aside from that, it's a pretty solid service."
"The subscription model could be improved, as it is not familiar in the Southeast Asian regions."
"The technical support by SOTI is only average."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Microsoft Intune has a user-based subscription model. You can go for a monthly or a yearly payment."
"It's affordable for the protection it gives. There are no additional costs."
"It is average. Some of the costs are quite high depending on what the customer currently uses, but overall, it is not bad. I would not say that I would not recommend Intune based on the cost. I definitely would, but they can definitely improve on the cost. So overall, its cost is not bad."
"Microsoft Intune is moderately priced. There is a monthly license required to use the solution and it is approximately eight dollars per month."
"The pricing is good because customers are not complaining about it."
"Generally, we get favorable discounts, so it's not too bad. Obviously, we're looking at decreasing those wherever we can to bring value back to the public purse because it's all charity based. It's all publicly funded."
"We work with the subscription rather than a server license. I think it's economical this way because we don't have to have a server license for that, and I think that works in our favor."
"The price of Intune is often included as part of a bundle with other Microsoft licenses, which makes it somewhat cheaper."
"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."
