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

"What I like the most about Microsoft Intune is its ability to manage mobile devices. Through integration with System Center, it can also manage desktops and laptops."
"For our office workers who are not based in Norway, when we order the PC, we can do some of the settings for them. These are standardized settings. We can set them up exactly as they are in Norway so that they're the same."
"It's easy to manage."
"It is more efficient to have one solution rather than having security parts spread across three, four, or five solutions."
"We are a remote company, and the product helps us manage the global endpoints. It helps us natively manage the endpoints in the cloud from anywhere."
"The ability to block and erase remote devices is valuable to us, especially when those devices are lost."
"I appreciate Intune's autopilot feature, which allows us to enroll devices and install applications to meet corporate requirements seamlessly."
"It is a cloud-based service. It is easy to use and offers privacy."
"Adaptiva is really good in terms of content delivery and network bandwidth optimization."
"Nexthink's best features are Engage and Act, which we use in combination for self-healing use cases."
"The solution is stable."
"This is a proactive management tool and we make use of the metrics, dashboard creation and complete remote actions on end user machines."
"We have found the combination of analytics and automation in this solution to be very valuable to our organization, as it allows for us to perform auto-resolution on customer issues."
"Number of service incidents dropped by more than 20%."
"Real-time analytics is effective as it involves real-time monitoring for proactive issue identification."
"All the features of Nexthink are really useful when it comes to providing visibility into the endpoints and the services that we are monitoring, but the most interesting and useful features are the campaign and remote actions."
"The solution's most valuable features are its cloud capabilities, particularly the dashboards and metrics."
 

Cons

"Due to the abundance of features, there's a lot to organize, which makes managing and setting up the solution challenging. The setup is immense, and it would be good to see improvement in this area."
"I have not been satisfied with it, and I am planning to change it soon. There are a lot of updates coming from Microsoft that suddenly affect our security policies."
"I wish Microsoft would keep up with their documentation. They make changes so quickly to these platforms that they do not update the documentation properly in a timely manner."
"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."
"One big problem with Microsoft is that they're changing the names of the products quite often, or they're quite consistently doing so. Intune is now Endpoint administration. Constantly switching the user interface or the administrative interface makes it quite hard to keep pace. If you are on a two-week holiday and you come back and look at the same screen you have looked at for the last couple of months, it looks different, which is annoying. Changing things around all the time doesn't make it easy."
"It would be interesting to integrate the server side of Intune. Some group policy updates we have on the Windows Server side and possibly some on the client side could also be included."
"Intune endpoint analytics can be challenging."
"There is still a gap between SCCM and Intune, especially in the reporting, inventory, and software deployment areas."
"It would be good if Adaptiva had everything on the cloud rather than having one server on-premises."
"We've had some issues integrating Nexthink with the cloud, so there are some delays in bandwidth, causing it to slow down a little. If they added better integration with the public cloud, I would be more likely to recommend it to customers."
"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."
"We need some guidance from the Nexthink team on some of the new features they are releasing and how best to use them."
"The solution could use better automation and less coding. Since I am part of the administrative background, I'm not completely into the development side. I'm not well versed in coding."
"The initial setup needs technical knowledge."
"We have provided them feedback on a few changes we would like to see with how alerting can work. Rather than have somebody looking at the network, if network utilization goes above a certain point, it would be helpful if the solution issued an alert to the right people."
"There are many limitations. If I'm using a Windows 10 system and Windows has certain restrictions, Nexthink won't be able to penetrate into the Windows OS due to those restrictions."
"We would like better connectivity with SCCM for on-premises infrastructure and autopilot for cloud deployment."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing costs we leave up to the customer and these vary from one to another."
"I don't have any problem as far as cost is concerned. It is bundled with our license."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis."
"Intune is included with our F3 and E5 licenses."
"It's affordable. In comparison to the competitors, the price depends on what features you need from Intune, but it's affordable. There are no hidden costs, but there are some features that go for a premium price. Those are the add-ons for which you have to pay extra."
"There is a license needed to use the solution and we are on an annual license."
"The pricing needs improvement."
"On a scale of one to ten with one being the cheapest, the cost of Microsoft Intune is a five."

"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."
"I would rate the tool's pricing a nine out of ten. The tool's pricing model is pay-as-you-use."
"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."
