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.

It is a complete and competitive solution with excellent OEM support
Matrix42 is a complete solution in terms of functionality. Still, you need to understand whether it's also capable of managing Kubernetes containers to that extent, and this is not very clear in the product fact sheet. It’s possible with Ivanti MobileIron, though, and Matrix42 seems to be one step behind in this aspect. Likewise, in terms of integration, there is still room for improvement in Matrix42 to integrate with more third-party tools compared to Ivanti, which has a larger number of integrations due to its size. MobileIron is an older product that has evolved over time, offering advantages in terms of readily available third-party APIs and integrations.

Enhances remote access and integration with third-party tools
I use NinjaOne for managing smaller clients, specifically their devices and software, for small to medium businesses. I provide remote management services through NinjaOne. It allows clients to use NinjaOne for remote access to their computers for home office purposes. This feature is highly…

Quotes from Members

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

"Its price is reasonable. It is a part of our M365 suite."
"We have found the solution is capable of scaling."
"Matrix42 Enterprise Mobility Management offers on-premises deployment."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the ability to assign a package to a user on a system If you have your software packages set up via SCCM. It automates the process, which is very convenient, especially since most of our people are remote. Additionally, the overall functionality is good."
"NinjaOne has a feature where we can create custom scripts that we can run on devices remotely."
"It helps us to be able to have visibility into the overall performance of the servers, laptops, and desktops that we are managing currently."
"The tool's most valuable feature is third-party application updates."
"NinjaOne's best feature is its monitoring."

"The software's automation tools have solved critical deployment problems for small businesses."
"A significant feature of NinjaOne is its remote access capability, which is essential for my clients’ home office usage."
"The customer support at NinjaOne is excellent, rated ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"It would be good if, in addition to the minimal patching and compliance, we could also use Intune for application deployment. For instance, if a device is not patched, Intune should have the ability to push not only a Microsoft patch but also other patches, such as a browser patch."
"It would be great if Intune offered better data protection controls for BYOD Windows PCs."
"Lacking in features such as Wi-Fi and network security."
"What frustrates me the most is just waiting and tapping my fingers, uncertain about whether my changes will take effect."
"I would like to see the ability to deploy custom packages as a Windows 64-bit package, as opposed to the Windows 32-bit, which is the only one available now."
"There have been instances where enrolling devices should take 10 minutes but ends up taking an hour due to various issues."
"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."
"Once it's configured it is unobtrusive, but it does take some hands-on to configure and deploy it properly."
"In terms of integration, there is still room for improvement in Matrix42."
"Matrix42 Enterprise Mobility Management could improve the user interface, it is not very intuitive."
"The inclusion of XENServer and Proxmox as virtual platforms in NinjaOne is currently missing."
"The reporting is lackluster. NinjaOne is great for maintaining systems, but it's hard to use it to understand the state that systems are in without going in and mining the information myself. I rate the reporting two out of 10."
"NinjaOne's reporting module is cumbersome."
"The solution could improve by optimizing the internet connection being used."
"NinjaOne's dashboard could be easier to use."
"I want NinjaOne to improve the reports."
"The network monitoring needs to be improved."
"Lacks sufficient integrations with other PSAs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the price a four out of ten with ten being the most expensive."
"The Intune license model is costly."
"Any bundle package, such as Security E3, covers multiple things, such as AAP, BitLocker, etc. If you go for them individually, they would be more expensive. Bundling makes the price more attractive and competitive."
"Our enterprise agreement includes Microsoft Intune at no additional cost."
"While I can't provide insights from a business perspective, it's worth noting that the pricing may differ significantly, and the discount we received might not be reflective of standard business rates."
"It's affordable. In comparison to the competitors, the price depends on what features you need from Intune, but it's affordable. There are no hidden costs, but there are some features that go for a premium price. Those are the add-ons for which you have to pay extra."
"Pricing can be improved."
"Intune's pricing is reasonable considering its benefits and the high costs it helps avoid."
"I am not sure the price of this solution but I would imagine it is fairly expensive because of the complexity, you would not use it in a small company."
"Matrix42 is more affordable than Ivanti."
"The product's pricing depends on the number of PCs or devices."
"It roughly costs $400 a month. It provides a good value because of the number of tools that you get in the solution. I would rate it a four out of five in terms of pricing. There are no additional costs other than the standard licensing fees."
"NinjaOne is a little expensive but is still cheaper than competitors like Acronis or Veeam."
"Its pricing is great."
"NinjaRMM uses a subscription model."
"The pricing is reasonable and cheaper than ConnectWise."
"We currently pay $1.20 per device on a monthly basis."
"I rate the solution’s pricing a five out of ten, where one is the lowest and ten is the most expensive."
