Centralized device management has transformed security and streamlined remote provisioning
One area where Microsoft Intune can improve is the user interface. Sometimes the portal feels a bit complex and not very intuitive, especially for new users, and it can take time to find specific settings. Another point is troubleshooting. While logs are available, the diagnostic policies and sync issues can still be time-consuming and not very straightforward. I also feel that reporting could be more detailed and customizable. The built-in reports are helpful, but for deeper insights, I often need to rely on additional tools. Overall, it is a strong solution, but improving usability and troubleshooting experience would make it even better. While Microsoft Intune works very well within the Microsoft ecosystem, the integration of some third-party tools could be smoother and require less customization. Support is another area that could improve, as sometimes response times can be slow, and resolving complex issues may take longer than expected. In terms of features, I think more advanced automation and built-in remediation options would be helpful since common issues can be fixed automatically without manual intervention.

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.

Proactive analytics have improved device performance and optimized disk space and support workflows
Nexthink offers many features, with the best being Flow, which encompasses almost everything. We have Nexthink Workspace and Spark, allowing integration with Teams so users can find solutions without going to the service desk, rectifying issues in chat. Nexthink Infinity has brought a lot of benefits to us. There has been a very good change from integration. Integrating ServiceNow with Nexthink automates problem ticket and incident generation, enabling the team to proactively know the kinds of problem statements we are receiving. For the integration with Teams, we have not completed it yet, but we are in the planning phase, and once done, we will observe the results. Nexthink has the capability of integrating with most third-party applications, which is a great feature. With the remediation actions we have in Nexthink, it has provided great self-heal capabilities along with proactiveness. By looking at the dashboards and identifying problem statements, we can share this information with the end-user computing teams to fix issues. Nexthink has significantly helped us enhance our DEX score from 74 to 80. When I talk about features that led to the improvement of our score from 74 to 80, there were earlier issues with device performance and reliability not being addressed. Noting these, we identified devices lacking free disk space and low RAM capacity contributing to high memory usage or excessive CPU usage. Disabling unnecessary startup applications brought us to a new DEX score of almost 80.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The biggest thing for us is enforcing logins only from devices that are managed by Intune."
"The Autopilot feature is fantastic. It is a Microsoft product, so it deals best with Microsoft operating systems, but it can integrate with iOS, Mac OS, Linux, and Android."
"Microsoft Intune is cost-effective and easy to use, so I can recommend it."
"The initial setup is not complex."
"Microsoft Intune has never crashed for me; it always works without fail."
"The device profiling which uses the official Outlook email enabled us to control the screenshot feature and prevent copying outside of the organization's application."
"Users can make screenshots, and devices only need the minimal version of iOS."
"Compliance and the policies that can be set are the most valuable features."
"Adaptiva is really good in terms of content delivery and network bandwidth optimization."
"The solution is stable."
"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."
"Real-time analytics is effective as it involves real-time monitoring for proactive issue identification."
"It is useful for managing end-user devices. The insights and the data that you get from end-user devices are most valuable."
"Nexthink allows our customers to have visibility into their whole environment and security. And it lets you install the agent as a package for selected users instead of every user. This helps cut down on the delay involved in a bulk installation."
"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."
"Nexthink's best features are Engage and Act, which we use in combination for self-healing use cases."
"Nexthink has impacted my organization positively by helping us to a great extent, improving the end user experience in terms of enhancing device performance, reducing system crashes, and improving device reliability."
 

Cons

"The solution requires Mac support."
"I would like more clarity on how Intune is migrating control from Active Directory group policies, especially as we move over to Windows 11. It seems inefficient to manage some settings in Active Directory and others in Intune."
"Microsoft Intune lags market leaders, such as Apperian, in its MAM capabilities."
"Technical support is not great. If you open up a case, it may remain there for a long time."
"They need to integrate more with security options."
"There is room for improvement, particularly in terms of compatibility, extending beyond the well-known major brands."
"Sometimes, it takes time to synchronize the policies between the portal and the devices, you don't have a way to estimate how long it will take to deploy. You have some kind of gray area, where it can deploy in 30 minutes or three days."
"Microsoft documentation is a bit hard to get around, so having more control over devices would be good."
"It would be good if Adaptiva had everything on the cloud rather than having one server on-premises."
"There could be improvements in monitoring user sentiments."
"The solution could provide more training. There should be proper documentation on the solution because even for small issues we have needed to reach out to the support team."
"The product detections could be better."
"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."
"It would be good to have a more controlled way to access their cloud environment."
"Customer support for Nexthink is a pain point due to unclear SLAs and requests for logs that are not needed. We have checked things from our end, but sometimes simple solutions are made overly complex."
"They were having some limitations on the number of alerts that you can generate; this definitely needs to be increased."
"We have provided them feedback on a few changes we would like to see with how alerting can work."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Licensing depends on how you are providing support to your enterprise, whether it's device-based or user-based."
"Previously the price was $4 per month per user. Now it's $2.25 per user per month."
"I liked the tool's pricing until P2 came into effect. I am unsure about the current value versus the cost of the new licensing model."
"If you're subscribing to Premium or E3, there are no additional costs for Intune, it's included."
"It comes with the E5 plan. We bought the E5 plan from Microsoft."
"Its pricing seems reasonable."
"Intune's pricing is reasonable considering its benefits and the high costs it helps avoid."
Information not available
"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."
"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."
"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."
