Centralized endpoint security has improved and supports hybrid work and BYOD policies

Regarding what I dislike about Microsoft Intune and its downsides, I would say that more Mac controls are needed because we have limited Mac and Linux control. When comparing controls and policies between Windows, Mac, and Linux, Windows has almost everything you can think of, while Mac and Linux have limited types of control. You cannot implement certain things on Mac and Linux that you can on Windows. The limited controls are a major issue. Additionally, if Microsoft could find a way to embed servers into Microsoft Intune, that would be beneficial. Microsoft Intune is not really designed for servers or Windows servers. It is more tailored towards Windows 11 and Windows 10 operating systems. Windows servers are not fully supported. Enterprise organizations usually have both servers and endpoints, which are users' workstations. For servers, most people look for other solutions such as SCCM, which is Configuration Manager. However, SCCM is what Microsoft Intune is trying to replace. Both SCCM and Microsoft Intune belong to Microsoft. Microsoft is trying to transition organizations into Microsoft Intune, the native cloud solution. However, because this update is still in process, servers are not fully compatible with Microsoft Intune and cannot be managed by it. The current policy that has emerged from issues with clients is what they call co-management, which is relatively new, and I do not know if adoption is significant. Many legacy or older customers who have been using these products for decades still have SCCM. When it is time for them to manage their Windows devices, they use what is called cloud attach. Cloud attach is a term whereby your SCCM is connected to your Microsoft Intune. Most people do not know about it, but I have deployed it for several organizations. Cloud attach and co-management work together so that your device is in SCCM, but some policies are pushed from Microsoft Intune. It is like two different solutions working hand in hand. That is what they call co-management. Microsoft Intune does not bring all of your endpoint and security management tools into one place, which is the goal and how it should be. However, as I mentioned, servers are not included. If we talk about end users, Microsoft Intune does bring all your devices together. In a typical enterprise environment, you have end users with workstations, laptops, company-issued phones, and bring your own devices. You can create policies for all of these. However, for the backend, your servers do not have much coverage. Servers are not really covered by Microsoft Intune in that way.

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.

Able to boot into safe mode or standard mode remotely and reliable performance

I've only had to deal with it once. Because of the custom package we have, a white-label package, I can only think of one issue maybe six or seven years ago. I don't even remember what it was. At that time, I think they were pretty responsive. Very few companies offer phone support anymore; everyone's gone the way of email responses. I'm having that problem with CorelDRAW right now, and I'm waiting three weeks for a technician. So it's a good thing it's not important. Are the customer service and support good? For me, they're as good as anybody else, maybe not as good as some companies, but probably better than most. We deal with HP, IBM, HCL. Some companies only offer email support, and you have to wait for a response. I'm trying to remember the last time I interacted with Splashtop support. They do give you an answer. On a scale of one to ten, they're nine plus. You rarely have to use them, but I'm satisfied when you do.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I really appreciate the features in Microsoft Intune, including the Intune Suite Cloud PKI."

"It is user-friendly, and the performance is also good. It is a convenient product"

"Windows Autopatch is the most valuable because it removes the burden of patch management."

"It is very easy to use. It has a very easy interface."

"Intune enables us to manage our devices from anywhere."

"Third party integrations are very convenient to use with Microsoft Intune."

"The initial setup is easy."

"Intune is a very good product and everything is cloud-based, and it provides a very simple unified platform to manage everything from the single management console."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"The standout feature of NinjaOne is that we do not have to open any ports for access, which is great for security."

"The tool's most valuable feature is third-party application updates."

"Good at managing updates and for remote support."

"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."

"Since NinjaOne was implemented, I would say it represents a huge positive change."

"The policies are probably the most valuable features. They're similar in function to Microsoft group policies where we can have it monitor certain things or push out software on a schedule. I would rate the policies eight out of 10. They're robust, I could monitor most of the things that Windows Performance Monitoring keeps tabs on."

"The customer support at NinjaOne is excellent, rated ten out of ten."

"NinjaOne helped us address our user complaints regarding the system as well as providing us the ability to push software updates directly from NinjaOne to the user's device."

More NinjaOne pros

"The solution is very fast."

"In contrast, Splashtop is a really good product and it's not so expensive."

"The tool's most valuable features are pricing and easy management."

"Splashtop Remote Support is my main product, and I use it daily. Its main function is to control systems, which is essential remotely. Additionally, it has useful features such as chat functionality, file transfer, and the ability to add notes with information about a computer or server. Despite being simple software, it is very useful and valuable."

"The initial setup is simple."

"The file transfers work well, the remote support and hosted solution work well."

"With the extended license, it's easy to be remote."

"The ability to use mobile devices is helpful because we can support our clients from anywhere."

More Splashtop Remote Support pros

Cons

"I rate Microsoft support between six to eight. The support often involves third parties hired by Microsoft who are knowledgeable, but sometimes the help I receive is not adequate."

"The interface can be a bit complex to set up initially, so a simpler interface would really help."

"It would be great to see on-premises mailboxes and for the solution to have geofencing capabilities."

"Technical support is not that great."

"If you wish to block any App Store application, there is no way to do so."

"The reports aren't complete, and it's not easy to build custom reports. For example, Windows Autopilot isn't working well in cases where the computers don't have a good internet connection. Then the option is not good enough."

"The initial setup of Microsoft Intune could be more simplified, but apart from this, everything is outstanding and performs well as per our expectations."

"The pricing could be improved."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"One challenge I face with NinjaOne is that when remoting in, sometimes the end user has a resolution with very tiny text, making it necessary to zoom in to see what the other computer is displaying."

"The network monitoring needs to be improved."

"I would like to see more scripts for PowerShell commands."

"The inclusion of XENServer and Proxmox as virtual platforms in NinjaOne is currently missing."

"There was a lot of delay with NinjaOne's ticketing system. For example, when a user creates a ticket and raises an issue, it would take 30 to 40 minutes to appear on the IT side. So the time delay issue is the main point."

"The one feature that I believe needs improvement is the software patching."

"NinjaOne can be improved by making mobile usage on the system cheaper because it becomes an expensive commodity."

"The ticketing system in NinjaOne is not the best."

More NinjaOne cons

"I'm not sure if I can recommend the solution as I'm not sure if it's a fit for me."

"The phone's a little tricky to work with due to the small screen."

"The solution should be able to make an inventory of computers automatically."

"The solution should add more options and tools for shortcuts, administration, etc."

"The packages that Splashtop has, tend to be a little bit confusing and should be simplified."

"Splashtop Remote Support needs to improve customization."

"The integration features could be better."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is not cheap, especially with inflation. They've had to increase their prices. It's not excessive, but alright."

"Microsoft Intune has a user-based subscription model. You can go for a monthly or a yearly payment."

"There is a cost benefit of using Microsoft Intune because of the packaging with other Microsoft products."

"Microsoft Intune is more expensive than other solutions, but it offers a wider range of features and control."

"Intune is linked with Microsoft. We can deploy the Microsoft E365 license to users by Intune. There are different types of licenses, such as device administrator licenses, E5 licenses for device enrollment manually, and P1 and p2 licenses for device enrollment automatically. These are the licenses required for the administration."

"It's affordable for the protection it gives. There are no additional costs."

"We work in the charity sector, so a lot of our clients get Microsoft Premium licenses or Business Premium for free. They get ten licenses free, and a lot of our clients do not have more than ten staff members. They are getting the tool for free, so its cost is not an issue."

"It is not a cheap solution. The price for a device when you start using it at a large scale can be improved. It is covered under our enterprise agreement. We pay once a year. I am not aware of any additional costs."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"I rate the solution’s pricing a five out of ten, where one is the lowest and ten is the most expensive."

"NinjaRMM uses a subscription model."

"NinjaOne is a little expensive but is still cheaper than competitors like Acronis or Veeam."

"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."

"The product's pricing depends on the number of PCs or devices."

"Its pricing is great."

"The pricing is reasonable and cheaper than ConnectWise."

"NinjaOne's price is fine since my workplace is an educational institution, so we get the product at a really good price considering that we do not pay taxes, making the prices very fair and worth the product."

More NinjaOne pricing and cost advice

"The licensing fees are less than $400 per year."

"Splashtop Remote Support is not too expensive. It costs around 800 euros per year."

"The price of the solution is mid-ranged, although it is more cost effective than that of TeamViewer."
