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.

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

"It helps implement conditional access policies to restrict mobile users from accessing potentially dangerous emails."
"The ability to switch between Affinity and non-Affinity enrollment is great."
"Comparing this to having an endpoint management solution, the efficiency gain may be up to 80%."
"It is quite policy-enabled, so you can build pretty much any policy to manage remote endpoints."
"We can implement a MAM policy in this Intune and protect the device through mobile application development without touching it. The interface is easy to use and understand."
"Conditional access has helped us tailor and enforce our security policies in the mobile space."
"Microsoft Intune's autopilot has been nice to have."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is having all our devices compliant with our policies."
"The policies are probably the most valuable features. They're similar in function to Microsoft group policies where we can have it monitor certain things or push out software on a schedule. I would rate the policies eight out of 10. They're robust, I could monitor most of the things that Windows Performance Monitoring keeps tabs on."
"The tool's most valuable feature is third-party application updates."
"It helps us to be able to have visibility into the overall performance of the servers, laptops, and desktops that we are managing currently."
"Good at managing updates and for remote support."
"The customer support at NinjaOne is excellent, rated ten out of ten."
"It just works as advertised and serves the purpose for which we got it."
"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."
"NinjaOne has a feature where we can create custom scripts that we can run on devices remotely."
"It is quite simple to set up."
"From my perspective, the most important is the login."
"The product allows easy access to any system in case of any issues."
"The pilot feature is what stands out the most. I love the ability to use the pilot feature for remote inspections. The augmented portion of the software comes in handy when I have to assist my inspectors. They use the app in the field, and they show me what they're seeing through their phones."
"The most valuable feature of TeamViewer is user-friendliness."
"TeamViewer has a good interface."
"I don't know of any performance problems with TeamViewer - generally, it's a stable product."
"The most valuable features of TeamViewer are the high performance and it is not complicated to use, neither for me nor for the one I'm helping."
 

Cons

"Improvements can be made by allowing server integrations since it is an area where the product currently has shortcomings."
"The feature that allows us to import the business application from the configuration manager to Intune is not very good at this time."
"Having a dedicated configuration server that assists in modifying the configuration service, and creating personalized structures, interfaces, and web services could enhance usability."
"They should make it easier to order it, however, that's generally true for everything from Microsoft."
"The mobile management is good for iPhone and iPad, but the Apple Mac management needs improvement. That is probably because Microsoft does not have low-level access to Apple Mac hardware. If you are doing basic things, it is okay, but if you want to image Apple Macs and do things like that, then Jamf is much better."
"It would be interesting to integrate the server side of Intune. Some group policy updates we have on the Windows Server side and possibly some on the client side could also be included."
"When we implemented Intune, it would have been helpful if Microsoft had provided some videos or data about Intune."
"It would be great if Intune offered better data protection controls for BYOD Windows PCs."
"The ticketing system in NinjaOne is not the best."
"Improvements could be made to reduce NinjaOne's functionalities to focus more on inventory or remote help tools."
"The remote connectivity could be better. It works most of the time, but sometimes, there are issues."
"I want NinjaOne to improve the reports."
"The network monitoring needs to be improved."
"Lacks sufficient integrations with other PSAs."
"The inclusion of XENServer and Proxmox as virtual platforms in NinjaOne is currently missing."
"NinjaOne's pricing and user interface needs improvement."
"We'd like to be able to work from mobile to desktop and vice versa. We'd like more mobility."
"I am not sure about all the features of TeamViewer, but if they have no voice communication or file transfer features they should add them."
"I would like to see something like a TeamViewer mobile application for iOS or possibly Android. I think this would be fantastic given how technology is evolving today. It would be beneficial to use it with your smartphone."
"There is a paid version of this solution with more features available. However, they should provide more free features to the user, such as factor authentication."
"Considering the earlier versions of the product, I think TeamViewer used to slow down the systems."
"TeamViewer has a legacy and may not be using the latest UI trends."
"TeamViewer is expensive, and you get a limited number of connections for your money."
"The solution could have better scalability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is relatively pricey, but considering its benefits, I'd say it's fair. The benefits outweigh the expensive licensing fees, especially for large organizations, but medium-sized and smaller businesses may be unable to afford it."
"For organizations that are a Microsoft shop, the pricing is compelling."
"Intune's pricing is reasonable considering its benefits and the high costs it helps avoid."
"The cost is somewhat on the higher side, particularly when considering certain price points, especially in markets like India."
"Microsoft Intune is reasonably priced for large organizations that already have Microsoft Enterprise licenses, but it is less affordable for smaller businesses."
"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."
"Microsoft Intune is included in the E5 license at no additional cost."
"It comes as a bundle, so you do not really know what the prices are. Microsoft does not break it down to the user cost for us. It is just bundled with our E5 license."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"We got a pretty good deal. It was fairly affordable."
"NinjaOne is a little expensive but is still cheaper than competitors like Acronis or Veeam."
"We currently pay $1.20 per device on a monthly basis."
"We are using the free version of TeamViewer."
"The cost is in the thousands of dollars per year."
"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."
"It has probably saved us several thousands of dollars because we have quick access anywhere. We don't have to worry about finding people onsite or arranging conference calls. We also save time and money with it because we don't have to send somebody onsite to troubleshoot."
"TeamViewer is $600 or $700 per port per year..."
"TeamViewer's price is cheaper than some other similar solutions. We have licenses for our users."
"The version of the solution we are using is free."
"The cost of the licenses depends on how you buy them. They just had a buy one get one free deal going, and they do that every once in a while. Where you buy one license, and they will give you the second one free, or you can try to get discounts. Most of our licenses that we have we tried to do something like that just to save some money."
