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.

Accessing multiple PCs from remote locations is easy and reliable with this solution

The solution works very well, I do not have any problem with it at all. The only problem is they have more than tripled their price in the last three years over what they used to charge. A price reduction would probably be warranted as I am not getting three times the service. My husband uses it too and he agrees that a price reduction would be the only thing he would be looking for. The vendor more than tripled the price in the last three years — so it has doubled and then doubled again. They have just kind of gone through the roof when it comes to pricing and I think that they are justifying that because of the demand.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Our bank's most valuable Intune features are centered around the dedicated device concept."

"Their price is really good, which is the reason customers move here, because as part of the Office 365 package, they always get the E365 as well, which makes it easy for them to manage their devices without having additional licenses for Intune."

"The conditional access policies that we set up are very useful."

"On the cloud, you can manage everything; you can push policies, maintain patches, and maintain security because everything interacts on the cloud and a VPN is not required."

"We have used conditional access policies to prevent users from copying internal resources or internal data to external devices, which has helped protect our organizations from being compromised."

"Based on my experience, I find Intune very flexible for managing Windows devices. We can use scripting, and we can make use of the self-service portal or the company portal to publish some of the applications for Windows."

"Microsoft Intune has positively impacted our organization by improving our overall security posture through enforcing compliance policies and reducing access from unmanaged devices."

"Autopilot is a feature I really like."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"The technical support is good."

"This solution has allowed us to have a highly flexible remote access solution in DR/BC situations."

"Technical support is very good and very fast; we find them to be very knowledgeable."

"The installation is almost instant."

"The solution is very quick to set up."

"I can do anything from a remote desktop as if I were sitting at my own PC."

"One of the most convenient features is that I can print from it and do everything as I would if I were sitting at my own desktop."

"It is a great product; it will save you money and time, and it probably pays for itself in the first 60 days of use every year."

"Has an easy way to remote on to a remote computer without having prior access to it."

"Being able to transfer files quickly and easily via the remote file manager."

"It will save them a ton of man-hours and downtime if they invest in this software, because again, it's very easy to use, it's very efficient."

"Instead of trying to walk-through a user on how to fix their computer, we just log in, do it, and move on to the next case."

"It works, it's the best product out there for support."

"The desktop sharing allows our clients to demonstrate the issue they are having, and then allows us to provide remediation directly."

"The ability to run it as a console when I log in. It thinks I'm there. It allows me to do file transfers. It allows me to see event logs through the utility, as opposed to having to open them on the client machine, so I can help troubleshoot unobtrusively."

More LogMeIn Rescue pros

Cons

"There are a lot of updates happening on Microsoft."

"Microsoft Intune can be improved by making it even more seamless for users to download their certificates."

"Microsoft Intune could be faster with client to server communication. Whenever I push something, it takes time; sometimes it takes more than one hour to deploy on the Windows side."

"There could be more wizard-driven policy development or creation. Some of the policies can get quite complex. If they have a wizard that assists the administrators in creating the policy, that will be a great job."

"They should improve its compatibility with other operating systems such as iOS and Linux. It supports Linux but they still need to work on the iOS part."

"It doesn't economize when you scale up. We have over 14,000 employees, and we have between 7,500 and 8,000 city-owned or personal devices being used to conduct city business. Its price can be improved. It is not a cheap solution."

"In the past, I raised some tickets for the enhancement feature, which was missing in Intune."

"One area for improvement is app deployment. Another is the Windows update rollout. If you're rolling out an object to a device that's offline, Intune stops trying to reach this device after it sits idle for a bit. We are forced to find a workaround that could help manage that."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"Integration could be improved. I'd prefer if the solution could integrate with our support and report tools as well as our timesheet reporting."

"The only problem is they have more than tripled their price in the last three years over what they used to charge."

"The pricing has tripled in a small amount of time and there is not three times better service."

"This solution requires that the PC is "on" in order to reach it remotely. If the PC is hung then it requires a reboot."

"The pricing, is a little on the high end but it's proven itself to be worth it for sure."

"Nothing's perfect but I think it's really a great tool just the way it is. The suggestion that I made to them at their user advisory board is that they combine the two products, Rescue and Central, into one because you really should have both. A bunch of the other people in that meeting very much liked that."

"Their ability to support mobile has been really problematic. I've seen other products that have done a better job in supporting mobile products. LogMeIn has just never been able to come up to par there, and that would be a detractor. They've been talking about supporting mobile for 10-plus years, and I really haven't seen any improvement on that."

"The solution’s pricing could be improved."

"As a whole, I am still a little disappointed with the mobile side of it."

"For our company, great features, but too expensive."

"I do wish there was an application to manage all of the admin properties of the subscription, rather than having to use the web portal."

"The iPhone support has been the Achilles heel for the longest time, because all of my users are on iPhones."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Existing E5 license holders for M365, Intune, and Azure, receive a free license."

"Intune is inexpensive. It also comes bundled in some Office 365 licenses, so you can choose to purchase it separately or as a package."

"With one user base license, we can use Intune for up to five devices. However, with Soti MobiControl, each license is tied to a single device, meaning one license is dedicated to one device only."

"With our standard E5 agreement with Microsoft, there have been no pricing concerns. Introductory professional services, like a fast-track service, were included with our E5 membership, and there have been no additional costs."

"The tool is cheaper than our company's other MDM tools."

"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."

"Most of our clients come to us with licensing already in place. On average, it costs $6 per device per month to add Intune to an Office 365 subscription, but I am not sure."

"The product is offered as part of a Microsoft standard bundle. The pricing can be competitive to Airwatch, and Maas360."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"We pay approximately 2,000 Euros a year for the solution. The licensing is all-inclusive; you don't have to pay for extra add-ons or services."

"It was cheap and now it is comparably expensive. It costs me $484 to use the solution with just two physical PCs."

"While LogMeIn Rescue is a great product and a leader in the industry, it's way pricey. Price is the most negative thing about LogMeIn Rescue."

"It is on the medium to high side. For us, it is worth it. For the amount of time they save us, it pretty much pays for itself."

"The pricing is a little on the higher side, though."

"Right now, I'm using ScreenConnect, which is about $45 per technician. Unless I buy LogMeIn with a large license and commit for the long-term and prepay, I will have to pay almost $120 per user a month. It's almost three times the price over the normal price for ScreenConnect, which is very similar in regards to all of the features that LogMeIn Rescue can do."

"The only downside is pricing. I think each technician license is somewhere around $100 or $120 a month now. So if you have a lot of technicians, it can get expensive, for a small business."

"It's definitely worth the value."

"The rescue model is licensed by user."

"Look at the different plans they have. Do not pay for a plan you do not need."
