Microsoft Intune

PRODUCT SUMMARY

Microsoft InTune offers cloud-based endpoint management with comprehensive support for Microsoft product integration. Intune allows managed service providers (MSPs) and IT teams to set up laptops and mobile devices, manage corporate devices, and enforce security policies. It offers features such as app management, data protection, device configuration, and software updates, all from a single cloud-based platform. With Intune, customers can remotely secure their data and ensure device compliance with company security policies.

USE CASES

  • Centralized device management:
    Streamlines device onboarding, configuration, and administration for highly homogenous environments and device configurations.
  • Application management:
    Intune is commonly used to deploy applications, push updates, and manage user permission for multiple device types.
  • Easy integration with Microsoft products:
    Built for seamless integration with Azure Active Directory and other Microsoft products such as Office and Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager.

SHORTCOMINGS

  • Inefficient speed:
    From deploying and assigning configuration profiles to applications and showing the status of items, Intune can be frustratingly slow.
  • Lack of support for non-Windows devices:
    Users have reported that configuring macOS devices is difficult, and fewer functionalities are available for these devices.
  • Pricing: Full functionality is locked behind higher-priced licenses, limiting what Intune can do for users.

NinjaOne

Why your peers choose us over Microsoft Intune

Microsoft Intune, while a robust solution, could improve its configuration and deployment processes. According to some G2 users, configuration changes could take time, which may lead to some production delays. NinjaOne, on the other hand, is proven to improve operational efficiency from day one – remaining fast and reliable regardless of how many endpoints you manage even during patching. 

This, combined with the fact that NinjaOne is a powerful all-in-one solution that supports Windows, macOS, and Linux devices from a single pane of glass, makes NinjaOne an excellent alternative to Intune. Designed by IT for IT, all Ninja products are proven to increase productivity, reduce security risk, and lower IT costs from day one. As the #1 on G2 for endpoint management, remote monitoring and management, and patch management, it is no wonder why 20,000+ clients worldwide trust NinjaOne as their go-to software solution.

NinjaOne vs. Microsoft Intune FAQs

NinjaOne remains the top Intune alternative because of its ease of use and fast deployment. With a proven track record of driving radical efficiency from the get-go, Ninja’s platform automates the hardest parts of IT to deliver visibility, security, and control over all endpoints.

Microsoft Intune could improve its support for non-Windows devices. NinjaOne, on the other hand, is praised for its superior customer support. It boasts one of the fastest first-response times, under 30 minutes from receiving an IT ticket, and a market-leading CSAT (customer satisfaction score) of 97%. This is why Ninja is consistently rated as the #1 in customer support.  

Intune supports Linux devices, including Ubuntu LTS desktops. Alternatively, NinjaOne has established itself as an experienced cloud-native management software solution for Linux devices.

Currently, Intune only supports Microsoft Defender. Comparatively, NinjaOne offers single-pane antivirus integration with leading software providers to keep your endpoints safe against even the most sophisticated cyber threats.
