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.

Really good in terms of content delivery and network bandwidth optimization
Using Adaptiva is really straightforward. Users need to have some end-user computing and networking knowledge to use the solution. The project or implementation team we worked with had good technical knowledge. I really liked the solution's performance. Adaptiva helped us with network bandwidth optimization and content delivery. Overall, I rate the solution eight and a half out of ten.

Real-time monitoring enhances proactive issue identification and boosts productivity
The most valuable feature of Nexthink is its proactive issue identification, which is part of its unique selling proposition. It includes ITSM processes by identifying and resolving issues, thereby improving user experience and productivity enhancements. Real-time analytics is also effective as it involves real-time monitoring for proactive issue identification. Self-healing capabilities within the tool further enhance its value.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The automatic patch management feature in the Intune Suite is helpful."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is its scalability."
"If you need only to load a specific profile and you don't have deep security functionalities, et cetera, Intune is very nice and good."
"We use a local Active Directory, but we weren't able to manage all our on-site systems without a solution like Intune, and we needed to deploy software like VPNs and other things. It's seamless now to to this through Intune."
"While Microsoft Intune boasts a wide range of features, its user-friendliness and bundled licensing cost are key considerations for me."
"Intune's most valuable features are its device management capabilities, particularly its centralized integration with other Microsoft stack components."
"I have been using the Enterprise Application Management feature of Microsoft Intune, which enhances abilities when it comes to app discovery, deployment, and automatic updating."
"I like the tool's integration with Apple. Anyone who creates an ID in Intune will get an Apple ID."
"Adaptiva is really good in terms of content delivery and network bandwidth optimization."
"Performance-wise, Nexthink is very good, and with each version, it is improved."
"Nexthink's best features are Engage and Act, which we use in combination for self-healing use cases."
"In the past two years, the biggest benefit is that we have been able to identify 57,000-plus defects. These are possible tickets that we are preventing by using Nexthink."
"Nexthink is valuable for showing real-time data."
"With this solution we are able to link issues to automatic actions that will solve the problem."
"Real-time analytics is effective as it involves real-time monitoring for proactive issue identification."
"Overall, I would recommend Nexthink as a first priority and rate it ten out of ten."
"Although limited to 100,000,000 events per engine, it is suffice to do investigations for more than 30 days."
 

Cons

"Technical support can be challenging when resources shift, requiring repeated explanations. Support from India sometimes provides information without the right solution."
"There are challenges with Intune, specifically in reporting. 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. You can connect to Azure, monitoring, and the workbooks, but it's not streamlined."
"Microsoft Intune could improve by being more user-friendly and having it geared toward device management. The graphic interface is not very good."
"Enrollment into the Microsoft Intune service can still get easier, especially for legacy-managed systems, such as how we get it from a GPO or an SCCM configuration into Intune."
"To make it a perfect ten, it would be helpful if there was a better way to troubleshoot user issues, as I've had a few users with corrupt files before and had to redeploy it without knowing the root cause."
"Intune should improve the management of non-Microsoft devices. It would be better to manage Mac, Android, and other non-Microsoft operating system devices within the same Intune interface."
"I expect Microsoft Intune to have more features in the cloud because there are two major functionalities that we need to be added. This is software metering and license management. These functionalities, for now, must be on-premise. For this purpose, we have set up a SQL Server and I hope that in near future this option will be in the cloud in Microsoft Intune."
"For additional functionality, I suggest that Microsoft could expand on asset management. Since the platform is there, they could develop it into a full-fledged asset management system."
"It would be good if Adaptiva had everything on the cloud rather than having one server on-premises."
"There could be a streamlined NQL and SQL query functionality, as it can be complex. An easier way to modify queries would be beneficial for the product."
"There could be improvements in monitoring user sentiments."
"It would be good to have a more controlled way to access their cloud environment."
"The next release could use some improvement in the tools that are provided."
"It lacks a library for standard EXEs to be named automatically."
"The initial setup needs technical knowledge."
"Deployment and user interface need improvement."
"They can improve the Nexthink action module."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In terms of the product price and licensing costs, my company finds the product to be reasonably priced."
"My team members bundled it together with their Microsoft solutions, including Microsoft 365 and related products."
"Intune's pricing is reasonable considering its benefits and the high costs it helps avoid."
"The Intune license model is costly."
"It's affordable for the protection it gives. There are no additional costs."
"The price could be better."
"While Microsoft charges for actual usage, it lacks discount options."
"Microsoft licenses are costly."
Information not available
"There are certain layers when it comes to pricing. The product has three layers and these layers are associated with certain sources. For example, the top layer have the premium services and the bottom layer has the basic services."
"I would rate the tool's pricing a nine out of ten. The tool's pricing model is pay-as-you-use."
"With this implementation of the Act and Engage module, I believe that there is a one-time fee for a two-month period, which is for the support team to make additional customizations."
"I have seen it help improve the user experience scores. This helped clients to save costs on another tool that they were trying to deploy in order to improve the user experience by just deploying some scripts. We were able to identify the issues and help them remediate those using our help. The process does not take much time and it provided background on end user performance. Therefore, they were able to save a lot, e.g., for approximately 50,000 endpoints at two dollars per machine per year, that is about $100,000 in savings."
"Nexthink can pay for itself quickly if you identify and complete the most valuable use cases. The tool can do so much that to purely compare the price in a static way to other tools in your arsenal would be a mistake. If you do a more dynamic comparison that’s based on the overall functionality and use cases possible then it comes out cheaper. You need to consider it a relative measurement against potential use cases, size of the organization, maturity of organization, etc."
