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.

We're able to see issues from the users' perspectives, but there are issues when connecting over VPN.
The ability to see issue from users perspective and installation of software. Worked well for awhile but issues with it connecting over VPN was a major drawback. We've been using it since 2009. We also utilize GoToAssist which has more features and runs smoother. It also allows us to send…

Good remote services feature and easy to setup
With LogMeIn Pro, we could connect up to 10 computers, and having an option for something in between would be good. Like, we went from 10 to the next level, which was around 50 or so. If there was a tier, perhaps around 20, that I would have probably purchased, and it would have been a better fit for what I needed.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Intune reduces the load on our on-prem Active Directory by having everything go to one Intune panel, so we can configure group policies, deploy applications, and manage devices, and it has really improved our operations."
"The synchronization of Intune with other Microsoft solutions is a valuable feature."
"The best features in Microsoft Intune that I appreciate most are its centralized features."
"Implementing Microsoft Intune has provided a more streamlined and consistent method for device management across our multiple domains, effectively consolidating our administrative efforts."
"The biggest asset is the range of device management options available with Intune, whether it is a Windows device, a Linux device, a Mac device, or mobile devices."
"Dynamic groups allow us to set conditions for automatic membership, eliminating the need for user intervention or manual review and ensuring a seamless workflow."
"The automatic patch management feature in the Intune Suite is helpful."
"The stability of Microsoft Intune is ten out of ten."
"It was very easy to install."
"The ability to control admin rights through AD groups allows the techs to have all of the rights that they would normally without adjustments on the backend of the product."
"Using DameWare has made the troubleshooting process faster."
"In our experience, we haven't had any issues; it's been stable, we're able to get to it, and it helps us run our business and service our employees better."
"LogMeIn allows me to quickly and efficiently assist my users across the United States."
"Being able to remote access my computer means I can work at night from my house, so I can catch up and get stuff done."
"It saves me time, it saves me headaches, it saves me a lot of problems, and I'm able to fix things quickly and move on."
"Customer support was great because any issues I encountered were responded to in a timely manner and they were able to resolve any issues that I had."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The ability to easily connect back and retrieve data from the computer systems that I have."
"User interface."
 

Cons

"Reporting needs to be better. Sometimes, it is way too slow, and it is not even accurate."
"There can be some added features, such as an improved dashboard."
"I'm still playing around with it and haven't had any issues with the product yet, but support can definitely be improved."
"It just doesn't handle software updates well at all by itself. You need to be a scripting wizard to make those happen properly, or you use third-party tools. The Windows feature updates are very difficult to implement. I would like to see a proprietary built-in remote control tool. I know that they have Team Viewer integrated, but it is not seamless. It would be nice if they had a seamless remote desktop capability directly from the Intune console."
"It would be helpful if there was proactive remediation."
"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."
"Intune could be enhanced by automating application upgrades, similar to how it automates operating system upgrades."
"In the past, I raised some tickets for the enhancement feature, which was missing in Intune."
"Worked well for awhile but issues with it connecting over VPN was a major drawback."
"SolarWinds has a great KB but many of the articles are lacking updated information and the keyword search is lacking if you don't have previous experience with the product and encounter issues."
"If I had to point out one thing, it would be that it is expensive."
"It's never cheap enough. If we got it for free, that would be perfect."
"It would be helpful if there were more things that you could do outside of having to log into the machine, such as being able to raise a command line and reboot the computer if, for whatever reason, it doesn't want to let me in."
"At certain times of the day, during the "rush hour," it's very slow. I don't know if it's the latency of the internet or the amount of people on it in the afternoon at 4:00, 5:00pm. Getting data transferred takes a longer time than other times of the day."
"Remote Access for external and internal customers."
"Unfortunately, LogMeIn is a long ways from being perfect. It has a lot of really great features, though they don't always work well."
"Would like for the client to be searchable."
"LogMeIn is a great product, and unfortunately, is a necessary evil."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Microsoft Intune is not cost-effective as a standalone product."
"There is a license required to use the solution. If you're core users in Office 365, for example, you have Outlook email and E3 license, this is only email. You have to buy an EMS license to have Microsoft Intune. It is expensive."
"For Microsoft 365 E5 clients, cost is not an issue as this product is one of the benefits."
"Our enterprise agreement includes Microsoft Intune at no additional cost."
"It comes as a bundle, so you do not really know what the prices are. Microsoft does not break it down to the user cost for us. It is just bundled with our E5 license."
"Microsoft Intune is expensive."
"Generally, we get favorable discounts, so it's not too bad. Obviously, we're looking at decreasing those wherever we can to bring value back to the public purse because it's all charity based. It's all publicly funded."
"The pricing for Intune and the competitor products are all within the same range, there is no true advantage when it comes to cost."
Information not available
"The company does not scale the price based upon use."
"If you subscribe the package of 100 Agents, but install 5, you are still paying for the 100 agent package."
"I did not deal with the financial aspect but my impression is that they are more expensive."
"Pricing has been going up for just going back and forth between two computers. Last year I called and complained, they gave me a deal. This year, it's gone up to $350. I'm looking for a new source. It seems to be getting expensive for me to look back and forth. Come up with a different level of service for just communicating with two computers; I use it, maybe, five minutes a day."
"To be honest with you, I use it just for login and the prices are getting too high so we're going to look for an alternative solution. It used to be a couple of hundred dollars a year, now it's like $600 a year. We're definitely going to be switching shortly. Every year they have significant increases."
"We're paying $839 a year, so we're paying about $70 a month. We're using the smallest version of Pro."
"It is pricey. When they renew me, they always boost it up, I call them and they cut it back a little bit."
"I think it's competitively priced. I haven't priced it out since we started with it, but the yearly subscription fee is worth it. It's not outrageous, and I believe that it's worth it for our company to pay the fees for the use of the product."
