Featured Reviews

Joseph Merusi - PeerSpot reviewer
Everything has worked better since we started using it
Sometimes the syncing is inconsistent. I'm confident that the devices are checking in every eight hours, but sometimes the devices aren't picking up the settings as quickly as I would expect. Some features haven't been updated in a while, and Microsoft doesn't seem interested in developing them. Unless you talk to an engineer, you don't know whether there will be an update. There are communication issues, so you might start working with a feature without knowing if it will be deprecated six months from now. Some reporting areas still need development. For example, I noticed that the reporting for driver updates is still confusing.
Todd Blake - PeerSpot reviewer
Simple to set up, reasonable pricing, and useful remote control capabilities
I'm on the latest version of the solution. I just updated it yesterday. While we have the solution on-premises at this time, we'll likely move to the cloud later this year. They have a trial version that you can try. They have a free version that you can try as well. I use it myself to support my family. I would try the free version or the trial version depending on your business. They can set you up and you can get to see all the features. I would also advocate going to the cloud version. Don't bother with the on-prem. It's just easier to jump to the cloud. I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.
Kelsey Braun - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"Microsoft Intune has been a time saver and reduces the time and effort IT admins have to invest."
"Autopilot is the most valuable feature."
"The most important thing for me is the autopilot feature."
"EAM is a godsend."
"Intune's feature that I have found most valuable is its auto-pilot feature."
"Microsoft Intune policies, remote wipe, and using corporate and private profiles are valuable features, but MFA is the most valuable feature as it ensures that the end user is authentic."
"It is more efficient to have one solution rather than having security parts spread across three, four, or five solutions."
"Microsoft Endpoint Manager is not expensive overall, especially for small environments."
"The product is really easy to deploy."
"It's very low maintenance."
"I do love the monitoring page. If you are using ConnectWise Control, which is the on-prem version, when you are logged into the admin panel, there is a status page that checks network connectivity, the status of the license, and so on."
"Being able to flip quickly between however many monitors that I have running, detune the video for black and white, or with fewer colors to make it faster, is amazing."
"You can bring up a command prompt remotely and execute commands without having to disturb the user."
"Unattended access is the most important feature."
"We like the fact that on our website we can have the ConnectWise bit embedded, and it has instructions for the end-user about what they need to do. Previously, on LogMeIn, we used to have to almost talk them through everything... ConnectWise has step-by-step instructions, depending on the browser."
"The remote management piece is the most valuable aspect of the solution for us due to the fact that we can support our clients after hours."
"Being able to remote access my computer means I can work at night from my house."
"User interface."
"I can copy information and put it into a presentation that I may be putting together at another location."
"I can connect to them remotely and do all the functions I would have to do by manually driving to them, so it does make things a lot easier."
"It's even simple to remotely add a computer to our group. We can send a link to that computer and they just follow the prompts on the screen and they are ready to go - we can access it. It's very user-friendly."
"​It must have been straightforward. My IT person set it up for me. It is a friendly program."
"It's the only product I need to be able to get to my office Outlook, to get my emails off that particular computer. Going the other way, sometimes I'll go to my home computer to do adjustments to my accounting system there."
"The remote services feature is definitely the most valuable, along with the capability to print remotely."
 

Cons

"Technical support is not that great."
"For autopilot, there should be more granularity on the settings that they offer at this stage."
"A more incisive reporting tool with automated progress updates and graphical representation would be beneficial, as the current manual method lacks efficiency and visual clarity."
"Intune's reporting and logging could be improved. When troubleshooting, it's difficult to collect the logs and determine what's happening. If I want to filter out the compliant devices, I can see it from the logs, but I would like the option to drill down further."
"I rate Microsoft support four out of 10. Support is one area where Microsoft needs to improve a lot. I recently raised a ticket for a Microsoft Azure issue, and it took two and a half weeks for support to reply. They need to improve support across their entire catalog of products."
"Intune is not the most user-friendly mobile device management platform available."
"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."
"We face multiple scenarios where IT decision-makers request specific policy implementations, however, due to product limitations, we cannot fulfill these requests."
"The solution is a little bit complicated when you want to implement it."
"I would like to see more overlap, meaning, I would like to be able to see what processes are running on a computer, for example, or what services are running."
"Mobile interface."
"There can be some complexities when running patches or when building up all the profiles, making them areas where improvements are required."
"Support for PAC files on the guest's side and support for proxy on the host's side. Currently, there is no support for guest-side PAC files or for the host-side proxy (which uses authentication)."
"At the moment, there's absolutely no specific feature that we actually need additionally since all the features that we need are available."
"Something that I would like to see in the future is mobile video streaming. They do provide audio conferencing, but seeing the problem makes it easier to solve the problem. If they had video streaming, if a client had a physical problem with something and I couldn't get remote access, the client could use his mobile phone to show me the problem. In these cases, even if a client's systems were down, I could help, so long as I had a mobile phone environment."
"There is an issue which is pretty rare, but I find it at least when connecting from my mobile device. I am forced to refresh the screen by changing the screen quality to get screen updates. This only happens sometimes."
"It's never cheap enough. If we got it for free, that would be perfect. But I know it's not and won't be free. It's always going to be too expensive for me because we're a small company."
"Unfortunately, LogMeIn is a long ways from being perfect. It has a lot of really great features, though they don't always work well."
"The only issue is that they could have a tier between 10 seats and 50."
"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."
"Remote Access for external and internal customers."
"The high pricing of the product is its only shortcoming that needs improvement."
"With Windows 10 we've had some issues with it crashing, and certain antivirus products cause it to fail. For the most part it's stable, but we do have an occasional crash mainly related to new operating systems. The new Microsoft Server and the new Windows operating systems sometimes have issues with it. But for the most part, in anything under, say, Windows 7, Windows 8, those seem to be pretty stable, and with the Microsoft Server 2012 and below, it's all stable. And I don't necessarily think it's LogMeIn. I think it may be Microsoft, to be honest with you."
"It does go down sometimes. You try to login, it tells you the workdesk computer is not available. It does kick you off a lot."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Microsoft Intune's pricing is reasonable."
"The E5 license is expensive."
"The cost of the license and the features are justified for myself as a technical person."
"It's affordable. It's cheaper if you have an Office 365, E5, or E3 subscription because everything is there."
"I have no comment on pricing of the solution."
"Microsoft Intune is a cost effective choice. It is less expensive than other products on the market."
"I recently got to know that the AD P1 license is compulsory to use Intune Autopilot, which was surprising for me. Earlier, this was not the case. It is the wrong thing to do. We now need to purchase AD P1 licenses for us and for our customers. I would rate it a seven out of ten for pricing."
"There is a license required to use this solution. However, it was part of a bundle package. Microsoft Intune is far less expensive than other solutions, such as Workspace ONE."
"ConnectWise Control is not an overly expensive tool. Its pricing is reasonable."
"Make sure you have enough licensing for all the techs that you have."
"Good price and works well."
"We pay $3,000 USD for the service, yearly upfront."
"We pay an annual licensing fee."
"We pay $85 per month for each user for a ConnectWise package with multiple solutions."
"I download the product for free with ConnectWise RMM's license."
"Pricing is fair for Control and the licensing is simple."
"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."
"I have a tiered pricing. If I wanted to subscribe for three years, I will get a discount for that.​"
"It is pricey. When they renew me, they always boost it up, I call them and they cut it back a little bit."
"It is very good."
"It's pretty fair for up to five computers I think (it might be three - it's either three or five). After that, it gets a little expensive, so if they could get a little bit more aggressive on how many computers you can add in, that would be great."
"We're paying $839 a year, so we're paying about $70 a month. We're using the smallest version of Pro."
"Pricing is what I'm upset with. Now, that they bought everybody up, the price doubled."
"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."
