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.

Secure access is simplified with easy login for virtual machines
I am provisioning virtual machines for educational institutions such as schools and colleges. The access to these virtual machines is provided via Apache Guacamole Apache Guacamole is really easy to use. If I have ten virtual machines provisioned under my name, I can access them with a single…

Graphical interface improves diagnostics, but external integration and support team knowledge need enhancement
I am working with SOTI XSight for some customers. Mainly in Hong Kong, we primarily have government customers The graphical user interface within SOTI XSight is intuitive and much more beautiful than traditional SOTI MobiControl. The user interface is a critical component of the diagnostic tools.…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The device profiling which uses the official Outlook email enabled us to control the screenshot feature and prevent copying outside of the organization's application."
"I particularly appreciate the administration and security features, which can be deployed easily."
"The conditional access policies that we set up are very useful."
"One of the most valuable aspects of Microsoft Intune is its seamless integration with Azure Active Directory, offering capabilities akin to Group Policy Objects."
"The product has eased the deployment of Microsoft apps to the devices. We can manage it properly. We can control it and push the updates. Another company helped us with the deployment. However, we can do it internally."
"This product offers an alternative solution to other UEM (Unified Endpoint Management) solutions."
"I would say the biggest benefit is the single-pane view. There's no jumping around multiple UI's to do your overall management."
"As the solution is a software as a service, the scalability is unlimited."
"I'm using Apache Guacamole as a gateway."
"For those considering using Apache Guacamole, I wholeheartedly support its users since it's a free open-source software that is easy to download and use with no significant issues."
"Apache Guacamole is really easy to use."
"The graphical user interface within SOTI XSight is intuitive and much more beautiful than traditional SOTI MobiControl."
"I recommend SOTI XSight to other businesses because it ensures device availability and helps avoid operational delays that could impact revenue."
 

Cons

"The reporting is subpar. That's the only issue we have with Intune. We use another solution for that purpose."
"It would be better if I could integrate it with my core group policy. I would like to have a group policy in my current environment, which has strict control, but those things are still missing. Although it has maximum compliance and security, it's not available on-premise."
"It would be better if they can reduce the cost of the license."
"I also hope the cost of Remote Help will decrease because it's a much-needed Intune function."
"Technical support is not that great."
"There are some issues using the solution with macOS and iOS, and it offers limited granular control with them. Intune works better on Windows and Android."
"In the past, I raised some tickets for the enhancement feature, which was missing in Intune."
"Microsoft Intune lags market leaders, such as Apperian, in its MAM capabilities."
"There should be good documentation regarding GUI customization. Even though I can try customizing the GUI, the documentation is not comprehensive."
"There should be good documentation regarding GUI customization."
"The solution's USB redirection could be improved."
"The technical support by SOTI is only average."
"The subscription model could be improved, as it is not familiar in the Southeast Asian regions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a license required to use the solution. If you're core users in Office 365, for example, you have Outlook email and E3 license, this is only email. You have to buy an EMS license to have Microsoft Intune. It is expensive."
"While Microsoft charges for actual usage, it lacks discount options."
"If you're ever going to buy an Office 365 environment, then pricing is reasonable given all that it does, but if you're not, then you might find the pricing 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."
"I rate Intune an eight out of ten for affordability. It's bundled with the 365 licensing, which is competitive overall."
"Our enterprise agreement includes Microsoft Intune at no additional cost."
"We have the business premium licenses for the solution."
"The price for Intune is fair."
