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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Microsoft Intune scales very effectively with our growing needs."

"Intune can wipe devices. For example, if a disgruntled employee wants to leak the data on their company phone, Intune can terminate their access and wipe the entire device with a click."

"While Microsoft Intune boasts a wide range of features, its user-friendliness and bundled licensing cost are key considerations for me."

"The best feature of Microsoft Intune is that it managed the endpoints."

"I appreciate Intune's autopilot feature, which allows us to enroll devices and install applications to meet corporate requirements seamlessly."

"It has helped with compliance. It has helped to ensure that devices comply with the organization's policy. If they are not compliant and secure, they cannot access the resources."

"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is that it is more of a one-stop shop, providing an easier experience."

"We work completely in a Microsoft environment. Its interface is similar to other Microsoft solutions that we are using such as Microsoft Defender. So far, for our administrators, it is easy to use."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"It works with different operating systems, I can connect to a PC or Mac."

"The time it takes to troubleshoot one of our users is cut significantly."

"Our favorite feature is being able to diagnose customers' problems by seeing them on the screen, rather than just over the phone."

"I tried different software out there and LogMeIn Rescue has the best compatibility. Something else might work, but you have conflict with so many networks. LogMeIn has the best ratio of almost 99% connection. Whereas, with some other software, you are lucky if you get 80%."

"The initial setup is easy. If you want the desktop program, you just download and install it."

"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's very easy to use, it's very efficient."

"Customer satisfaction went up by 40 percent and productivity for my staff went up by 30 percent."

More LogMeIn Rescue pros

"Take Control enables you to collaborate with end users. It's for supporting a workstation where you want the person on the other side to see you moving their mouse, and you can work with them."

"The most valuable part of N-able Take Control is being able to remotely access your customer's site. You are able to view their network. Once you have it set up, it's always available. N-able Take Control can be used even when other remote access controls have been made."

Cons

"A detailed device diagnostic feature is missing. Also, operating system deployment and imaging are missing."

"While the ability to deploy applications at startup is reliable, the policy-based application deployment method has not reached the same level of consistency."

"The feature that allows us to import the business application from the configuration manager to Intune is not very good at this time."

"I think that there is room for improvement with the reporting. If this is done, it will be a better product."

"The solution could be improved by the opportunity to connect third-party application databases, such as Chocolatey or another setup store, to Intune."

"Each feature has a separate license, making logistics and cost management difficult if not strategically bundled together."

"Microsoft Intune needs to support out of the box Apple Managed Device and Apple Business Managed Device with zero-touch deployment capabilities, which is something competitors provide."

"The synchronization could be improved."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"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."

"I would like to see a mobile client that would work on an iPad, so I do not always have to be on a PC or a full-blown Mac operating system."

"The one big problem that I have with LogMeIn Rescue is, I use a Mac. All my technicians use PCs. I use a Mac, and the Mac agent crashes at least once a day. I have to stop it and start it again. To date, I don’t have a problem with people using PC. I think the Mac app that they have needs to be improved."

"Secondly, the product needs improvement on mobile interfaces because on mobile devices it doesn't perform very well. On computers, it is good, with desktops, laptops, it is good. Sometimes iPad is good, but going with other devices, like Android or Windows on smart phones, it's always a problem."

"I would like a single sign on for all of our (five) accounts so that I can immediately use an available seat. Right now, I have to try to log in with each account separately, in an attempt to find an available license that is not currently in use."

"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."

"Network browsing and connecting on the LAN, because if you can't see the computers on your network, what good is the product?"

"We are currently supporting Linux, but there are certain limitations. We are currently working on improving Linux support and addressing certain limitations in the roadmap."

More LogMeIn Rescue cons

"The dashboards I do not use because there are issues. The solution monitors your antivirus and other programs but it does not seem to work well."

"We've seen some latency problems in AWS environments. Aside from that, it's a pretty solid service."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"Its price is in the medium range. It is acceptable because you're paying for the features. I am not aware of any additional costs."

"Based on the features that it gives, it is cost-efficient. It is not necessarily on the expensive side of the scale. It provides a hefty number of features that any organization would want. It is in a good price range."

"I rate Intune an eight out of ten for affordability. It's bundled with the 365 licensing, which is competitive overall."

"Intune is moderately expensive. You can get the license bundled with Office 365 E3 or E5 licenses. The E5s are a bit expensive, but you get some cheaper solutions with Intune."

"Previously the price was $4 per month per user. Now it's $2.25 per user per month."

"Its price is fair. It's a normal price. It isn't too expensive or too cheap."

"For Microsoft 365 E5 clients, cost is not an issue as this product is one of the benefits."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"I did look into a couple of other products, TeamViewer in particular, at one point. The price point of Rescue, compared to some of the other things that are in the marketplace right now, is high. But it's what I would call the "Cadillac" of the industry."

"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."

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

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

"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."

"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."

"Pricing is reasonable and easily offsets other costs, while resolving issues in a much quicker timeframe."

"It's definitely worth the value."

More LogMeIn Rescue pricing and cost advice

"N-able Take Control charges you a monthly fee for every customer that you have booked in, and it used to be inexpensive but it's a little bit more expensive now."
