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.

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…

Easy to install and has lots of resources but need to improve performance

It's a remote access solution. We use it for conferences, meetings, and communication. It works just like other communications tools. It also integrates well with Office 365 and Outlook, et cetera. The performance is good. It's got a lot of resources for users. The product is easy to install.…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"I have seen a return on investment right from the start of the tool's usage."

"The solution is easy to use."

"There are so many features, but Windows Autopilot is one of the features that are very valuable for most customers."

"Fortunately, now everything is streamlined into a single, unified platform."

"The ability to send configurations to our systems is valuable, particularly as we don't have a regular Windows AD server. Our current environment doesn't have a Windows AD, which limits our ability to push GPOs. However, this is where the solution can step in and help us push policies."

"The most valuable feature for us is the security, including risk analysis and patch management."

"It works pretty well for us."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"The customer support at NinjaOne is excellent, rated ten out of ten."

"We can use it for remote monitoring, and it also works great as a troubleshooting tool. We are able to open up a command line or a PowerShell session remotely without having to disrupt the user. They have a limited network device monitoring capability, but for workstation servers, we have the event logs. We can do performance monitoring, system changes, software deployment, and patch management. We can also push scripts. It has a very simple web interface. There are no additional things to do there. Security is also pretty good. It does the same things that the other competitor's tools do. One of the advantages of Ninja is that they have a more capable mobile app, which allows you to see the alerts immediately. I get alerted to major critical issues."

"The best feature of NinjaOne is the SLA system. Every IT person can check their performance, how long it takes to resolve an issue, and how many SLAs are breached."

"The solution's most valuable feature is related to its remote access...I know that NinjaOne's technical support is good."

"NinjaOne has a feature where we can create custom scripts that we can run on devices remotely."

"It just works as advertised and serves the purpose for which we got it."

"The installation is easy, it only took two minutes."

"The most relevant feature is the monitoring, which provides built-in tools for sending commands."

More NinjaOne pros

"Ease of use was the number-one thing. It's an industry leader for ease of use, specifically on the client-side, which is the absolutely critical thing. If I want to connect to somebody, how easily can I — without seeing their computer — walk them through the steps to install it to a point where I can key in the code and help them resolve their situation?... TeamViewer is just a dead-solid, easy answer."

"TeamViewer allows us to do multiple controllers on a Host, which is great. We have a lot of Macs in our organization, and TeamViewer being cross-platform is a good thing."

"The most valuable feature of TeamViewer is the remote access connection. Additionally, it is easy to use."

"It's very easy to set up."

"The implementation process is simple."

"TeamViewer is a step ahead of solutions like, for example, AnyDesk."

"The most valuable feature of TeamViewer is the ability to remote control a computer system. Overall it is a complete solution."

"TeamViewer has a lot of options for deploying the Hosts, where you can mass deploy them very easily, and you can pre-configure them."

More TeamViewer pros

Cons

"We had an APNS certificate set to expire last week. We tried to renew it two days before it expired. We logged in to the APNS portal but could not find that certificate. We didn't know where it went. All the iOS devices stopped working. We contacted the Apple and Microsoft teams, and each blamed the other. This is something that Microsoft should take care of. Last week, we had so many escalations from high-profile users who couldn't access corporate data on their devices."

"The backend of Microsoft Intune needs to be improved. We have seen a little bit of delay as compared to other MDM solutions. That needs to be improved. A little bit more granularity should also be added"

"Intune's server management could be better. If it could incorporate more features from System Center into Intune's Configuration Manager, it would be beneficial."

"Customer service used to be better, but as we are nearing the end of the contract, the focus on investing in us as a customer has diminished. It is what one would expect in such a situation."

"Microsoft Intune's app deployment presents challenges for non-MSI and non-store apps, particularly EXEs, requiring the use of a Win32 wrapper tool and adding overhead to the process."

"When we implemented Intune, it would have been helpful if Microsoft had provided some videos or data about Intune."

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

"Sometimes, customers compare it with AirWatch, but the concept of Intune is different from other solutions. It's an application management app. It gets a bit difficult to explain it to customers, but it's not a product limitation. It takes a presale document or presentation to explain it to customers."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"I wish that they integrated it with more antivirus solutions. Currently, they only push Defender, but it doesn't really have integration with SentinelOne. It also didn't integrate with Trend Micro, which we were using previously. I would also like to have more control from the mobile app. As of now, I am able to see some performance values, but I can't see, for example, disk activity or disk performance values. If they can improve their app a little bit, it would help greatly. They can also improve the tech interface. If I assign certain techs to a bunch of specific machines, they only get those alerts that they're assigned to."

"The graphical user interface could be improved."

"NinjaOne's dashboard could be easier to use."

"The inclusion of XENServer and Proxmox as virtual platforms in NinjaOne is currently missing."

"Improvements could be made to reduce NinjaOne's functionalities to focus more on inventory or remote help tools."

"I would like to see more scripts for PowerShell commands."

"The remote connectivity could be better. It works most of the time, but sometimes, there are issues."

"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."

More NinjaOne cons

"We'd like to be able to work from mobile to desktop and vice versa. We'd like more mobility."

"TeamViewer could improve by having support for other operating systems, such as Linux."

"I didn't like the fact that you had to install a client for remote support. If you didn't install the client, you were very limited in terms of what you could do. For a whole enterprise, it is just not an easy task to install a client on everything. Even if you're using SCCM, it is an undertaking. For transient clients that you don't necessarily support a hundred percent of the time, it would be nice to be able to connect to them and support their issues without having to install something on their machines. In my previous company, we were looking at this solution as being a collaborative tool for the enterprise in terms of video conferencing, calling, and scheduling. They were working on bringing a bunch of products together to make their suite a little more integrated, but it really wasn't at the point where we wanted it to be in terms of integration. We looked at it, reviewed it, and tested it out a bit. We then decided to go with Microsoft Teams. It has the clunkiness of having separate modules that aren't totally integrated. There are different methods for doing different things, which makes it a little bit more complicated. There should be the same way whether you are doing remote support or just calls."

"TeamViewer can improve connectivity. I had some problems connecting to my clients and now I use AnyDesk."

"I have noticed that when I access another person's computer, sometimes the tab is visible, and sometimes it is not, which can be difficult."

"TeamViewer has a legacy and may not be using the latest UI trends."

"It would be useful if the solution could facilitate more than one remote user accessing my desktop at a time."

"I would like it if the trial version of TeamViewer allowed you to have a connection for much longer."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If you're subscribing to Premium or E3, there are no additional costs for Intune, it's included."

"The E5 license is expensive."

"Pricing depends on the features. Microsoft offers special packages if there are more than 10,000 users, and you may be able to get a reduced rate."

"Licensing depends on how you are providing support to your enterprise, whether it's device-based or user-based."

"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."

"The pricing is inherently reasonable, as Microsoft leverages market insights to maintain the total cost of ownership at around ninety to ninety-five percent of what would be incurred in an on-premise scenario."

"Our enterprise agreement includes Microsoft Intune at no additional cost."

"Microsoft offers some licensing where it's included at no extra cost when customers are already using the licenses. In such a case, it's a really good value. If you have to buy the licensing for it, it's probably on par with other solutions. It isn't substantially more or less expensive. The great thing is that it is included in some of Microsoft's licensed packages. So, some customers don't have to spend additional money for it. Typically, most providers that support Intune do charge a management fee of some sort or some fee. Certainly, we're no exception."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"NinjaOne is a little expensive but is still cheaper than competitors like Acronis or Veeam."

"The product's pricing depends on the number of PCs or devices."

"We currently pay $1.20 per device on a monthly basis."

"The pricing is reasonable and cheaper than ConnectWise."

"I rate the solution’s pricing a five out of ten, where one is the lowest and ten is the most expensive."

"We got a pretty good deal. It was fairly affordable."

"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."

"NinjaRMM uses a subscription model."

More NinjaOne pricing and cost advice

"We have an annual subscription that is just under $1,900 with no additional costs. We get these promotions about upgrades and stuff like that, but we haven't had a need to add more seats. Users can also use TeamViewer for home use with a non-commercial free license."

"TeamViewer's price is cheaper than some other similar solutions. We have licenses for our users."

"The solution's pricing is reasonable."

"TeamViewer offers a free version to try. Download and give it a shot. See what it's like and if you like it, then buy the license for it."

"I used the free version of TeamViewer."

"It would be nice if it is cheaper."

"We are not using the solution for commercial use therefore it is free to use."

"We have a corporate license. The maximum amount number of users changes based on the amount you pay. E.g., with our license, there is a maximum amount of users who can use the solution at the same time (10 users)."
