Featured Reviews

AkashKamble - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Joseph Pearson - PeerSpot reviewer
Has simplified remote software delivery and script management but needs improved reporting flexibility and better Mac support
NinjaOne's best features include ease of use regarding enablement and deployment, a broad selection and ability of software enablement, and API deliveries. Using CrowdStrike, we are able to tie in NinjaOne's API to have these automatically deliver to endpoints upon addition of those devices to a group with that policy deployed to it. NinjaOne has positively impacted our organization by making delivery easier for our end users and improving the ability to create scripts, manage scripts, and check status of devices and their compliance. This easier delivery with NinjaOne gives us oversight on devices without having to be on the call or remoted in directly to a device.
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

"The most valuable features of Microsoft Intune include remote updates. The update runs in the background, so there's no need in most cases to go on-site to do it."
"It is very easy to use. It has a very easy interface."
"The ability to manage devices over the cloud is a big benefit, as devices now receive updates regardless of location."
"What I like most about Intune is its seamless enrollment process, particularly the Autopilot method."
"The key benefit of Intune is its integration with the Microsoft ecosystem."
"There are no complaints about the stability. It works one hundred percent of the time."
"If I assess Intune's user experience, I would say it is perfect and simple."
"Overall, I would rate Microsoft Intune as eight out of ten."
"The software's automation tools have solved critical deployment problems for small businesses."
"We can use it for remote monitoring, and it also works great as a troubleshooting tool. We are able to open up a command line or a PowerShell session remotely without having to disrupt the user. They have a limited network device monitoring capability, but for workstation servers, we have the event logs. We can do performance monitoring, system changes, software deployment, and patch management. We can also push scripts. It has a very simple web interface. There are no additional things to do there. Security is also pretty good. It does the same things that the other competitor's tools do. One of the advantages of Ninja is that they have a more capable mobile app, which allows you to see the alerts immediately. I get alerted to major critical issues."
"It helps us to be able to have visibility into the overall performance of the servers, laptops, and desktops that we are managing currently."
"The customer support at NinjaOne is excellent, rated ten out of ten."
"The tool's most valuable feature is third-party application updates."
"NinjaOne is a great product. It is working and it is always developing."
"A significant feature of NinjaOne is its remote access capability, which is essential for my clients’ home office usage."
"NinjaOne helps us view the status of software patching, whether the PC is locked or unlocked."
"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

"There are a couple of issues with stability."
"Customer service is not really good. I would give it a six out of ten. The main issue is the time it takes to get someone involved who truly understands what the product does."
"There is improvement needed in integrating with the installed Office solutions versions, such as Office 2019. The Office 365 integrates without a problem."
"The installation could be improved to be simplified."
"Microsoft Intune fails a lot when it comes to device compliance."
"Reporting needs to be better. Sometimes, it is way too slow, and it is not even accurate."
"What frustrates me the most is just waiting and tapping my fingers, uncertain about whether my changes will take effect."
"Intune could be improved by organizing different solutions, like Defender and Sentinel, into a single package. This would allow us to focus on security while Microsoft manages other areas. Having a unified solution would drive better management of various sectors. Although the Intune user experience is good, we should continue enhancing it."
"The inclusion of XENServer and Proxmox as virtual platforms in NinjaOne is currently missing."
"The NinjaOne distribution server is highly dependent on an active directory."
"The reporting is lackluster. NinjaOne is great for maintaining systems, but it's hard to use it to understand the state that systems are in without going in and mining the information myself. I rate the reporting two out of 10."
"The ability to not have a NinjaOne agent or multiple NinjaOne agents on a singular device is a big pain point for the device, and secondly, the macOS support is also what keeps it from being a higher score."
"I want NinjaOne to improve the reports."
"NinjaOne's reporting module is cumbersome."
"The inclusion of XENServer and Proxmox as virtual platforms in NinjaOne is currently missing."
"I would like to see the software reduced to focus on inventory or remote help tools since many of its current functionalities are not needed."
"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

"Its licensing model is not complex, but it is very expensive compared to other solutions. They can bring more models and reduce the pricing. They should allow customers to select the features they want and price it accordingly."
"Consider the Microsoft Enterprise Mobility Suite rather than choosing specific sub-components, e.g. only Microsoft Intune."
"With our standard E5 agreement with Microsoft, there have been no pricing concerns. Introductory professional services, like a fast-track service, were included with our E5 membership, and there have been no additional costs."
"Intune is included in the Microsoft 365 licensing package that we have."
"If you ask the accountant or the finance department, they'll tell you that it is way too expensive, but when I look at the cost and compare it with the value you actually get, it's more than fair."
"Our Office 365 Business Premium license, including Office 365 and Intune Management, offers excellent value."
"The pricing is good because customers are not complaining about it."
"The product is expensive."
"It roughly costs $400 a month. It provides a good value because of the number of tools that you get in the solution. I would rate it a four out of five in terms of pricing. There are no additional costs other than the standard licensing fees."
"I rate the solution’s pricing a five out of ten, where one is the lowest and ten is the most expensive."
"The pricing is reasonable and cheaper than ConnectWise."
"NinjaRMM uses a subscription model."
"We currently pay $1.20 per device on a monthly basis."
"NinjaOne is a little expensive but is still cheaper than competitors like Acronis or Veeam."
"The product's pricing depends on the number of PCs or devices."
"We got a pretty good deal. It was fairly affordable."
