Joseph Merusi

Collaborations engineer at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees

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.

Feature-rich, easy to use, and has responsive technical support

We are working on the proof of concept for both MobileIron and Workspace ONE. We are only testing MobileIron and Workspace ONE. After that, we will decide which device to use. Workspace ONE by VMware Similarly, we will use MobileIron as a mobile device management tool, allowing us to manage our endpoints remotely. So far, we have not had any issues with VMware, and we have resolved some, if not all, of the issues. I have been testing with VMware Workspace ONE for the same amount of time as MobileIron UEM, three weeks. We are using the latest version, and it is deployed on a public cloud. The cloud provider is VMware. I have also been working with Google Chrome. Google Workspace is an email production tool provided by Google. We don't have a firewall because we're in the cloud right now. We have no on-premises network and all of our systems are hosted in the cloud.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I would say the biggest benefit is the single-pane view. There's no jumping around multiple UI's to do your overall management."

"One of the standout features of Intune is its seamless accessibility to work data, eliminating the need to be tied to an office or a desktop."

"Intune device restriction policies enable me to enforce limitations on the device, like blocking the mobile camera or restricting the employees from using and inserting USB devices, including thumb drives and flash drives."

"There has been a noticeable increase in productivity for both my organization and clients."

"The stability is good."

"It is a very stable and scalable cloud-only solution."

"I believe that the solution is actually in Gartner's top quadrant at the moment for mobile device management."

"We are a remote company, and the product helps us manage the global endpoints. It helps us natively manage the endpoints in the cloud from anywhere."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"The company provides great customer service."

"The products are quite good when they are operational."

"The user interface is user-friendly."

"The most valuable feature is that everything is in one place, which makes it easy to manage."

"It's effective in what it is able to achieve and it's easy to use."

"The most valuable features of MobileIron UEM are tunneling and enterprise integration."

"The products are quite good when they are operational."

"The tool's most valuable feature is third-party application updates."

"NinjaOne helps us view the status of software patching, whether the PC is locked or unlocked."

"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."

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

"The software's automation tools have solved critical deployment problems for small businesses."

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

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

"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."

More NinjaOne pros

Cons

"China blocks Google and Google Play Store, which makes installation challenging. Microsoft Intune is a company software, which has to be installed to the app portal or Microsoft Software Center."

"We haven't really gone through all the features of Intune. We are just discovering them. Every day, we see a new feature that we want to apply, but what will be great for Intune is to be able to deploy apps in a simple fashion. We should be able to easily install various apps on the Windows platform, iOS, and Android. Currently, we have to write some scripts. It's not as straightforward as we would like it to be. It should be simplified so that we can do it just with three clicks—next, next, finish—without needing to write a script."

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

"I know that their AI pieces are at the infancy stage, but allowing users to do more tagging for information would be an interesting thing because Intune also directly integrates with Azure. Because a lot of the devices are hosted with that, you also get a lot of tagging of user data and other things like that."

"I rate Microsoft customer service six out of 10. While some technicians go above and beyond, there is inconsistency, and connecting with the most helpful representatives is occasionally challenging."

"There is no catalog for mobile access management (MAM) security."

"Lacks the ability to deploy more ways of management, managing devices and processing the policies."

"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."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"The interface is complicated and not very easy to use."

"MobileIron UEM could improve the monitoring of devices."

"UI needs an upgrade, feels very outdated."

"We would like the initial setup to be simpler."

"The integration between the MobileIron and Advanced Neurons isn't completely in sync, and we're still working on that."

"The release of new versions often goes in the wrong direction with Ivanti."

"The release of new versions often goes in the wrong direction with Ivanti. The test team or the testing procedures are flawed because they release new versions with numerous basic issues."

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

"I would like to see the software reduced to focus on inventory or remote help tools since many of its current functionalities are not needed."

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

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

"NinjaOne's reporting module is cumbersome."

"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."

"I want NinjaOne to improve the reports."

"The NinjaOne distribution server is highly dependent on an active directory."

More NinjaOne cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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."

"On a scale of one to ten with one being the cheapest, the cost of Microsoft Intune is a five."

"We spend a lot of money on Intune licensing, and some of our users have to be double licensed just because of how our dev and corporate environments are segmented."

"The price is reasonable, but they should lower it a bit to make it more competitive. It's cheaper than AirWatch and other products, but I still feel like Microsoft can make a base version or with Exchange online or a la carte only Intune version which will be useful. A customer who doesn't want to go full-fledged E3 or E5 can take out or consume an Intune solution only for their purpose, and we want to target that customer."

"The licensing is on a yearly basis."

"We have a limited budget for security investments, so Microsoft should consider reducing pricing in our region. This would make investment more viable, especially since larger businesses in other countries can afford it easily."

"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

"The price of MobileIron UEM is very good."

"My impression is that MobileIron is very expensive."

"NinjaRMM uses a subscription model."

"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."

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

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

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

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

"Its pricing is great."

"NinjaOne's price is fine since my workplace is an educational institution, so we get the product at a really good price considering that we do not pay taxes, making the prices very fair and worth the product."
