Enables management of multiple operating systems with a single license
The best feature is that it's a Microsoft product, so if anything goes wrong, we get quick support for anything required. Remote system functionality allows us to sit anywhere and take control of any device via remote management. We can enhance security for clients' laptops with built-in Microsoft Defender, which is available with the Microsoft Intune license. We use it for reporting purposes through endpoint analytics. When pushing scripting, there are two types available: remediation script and reservation script. Through endpoint analytics, you can push defender policies to clients. It helps with reporting, inventory updates, and monitoring tenant status health.

Solution elevates team collaboration and manages remote support efficiently
For me as a user in the service desk, there is already a lot of functionality in the product. I don't have any specific ideas for improvement on that side. Some technical aspects could be improved, particularly in product management. For the end user, enhancements do not seem necessary at the moment. They could probably give the technician client a more modern interface, but the crucial factor is stable connectivity in a remote session. I see more potential for improvement on the administration side, like better transparency when a patch is installed. It would be useful for administrators to see the version and patch levels of the product easily. BeyondTrust could also enhance their quality control process before releasing a new build to ensure no new bugs are present. This is a common issue among software manufacturers.

Adopting flexible workflows with customized automation delivers measurable benefits
There are things that I would like to see improved in ServiceNow, such as the pricing, as it is a very costly solution compared to other tools. Additionally, its presence in the local market is very limited; in Pakistan, for example, I don't see any vendor or distributor of ServiceNow available. They need to increase their sales spectrum globally so people can easily access them and engage them for client meetings and more. From a functionality perspective, the features in ServiceNow are acceptable as, at the moment, the ITSM modules rank highly, being 13 plus Pink Elephant certified, which is a good aspect to have. When providing advice to users, I would suggest they consider making strategic decisions about their per user pricing since it is very high. In our region, people normally start with 5 to 10 users, but the per user price is quite steep. Moreover, ServiceNow does not charge based on data uploaded or downloaded, so they should reconsider their pricing and data policies to align better with the financial capabilities of the region.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Microsoft Intune is far more efficient and faster than MECM."
"It saves time, money, and resources; when there was a local liaison, managing everything was a significant challenge, but with Microsoft Intune, it has become much easier—around 60% to 70% easier—and in terms of reliability and ease of use, it excels."
"The solution has reduced the risk of security breaches by 30%."
"We have one MDM that works with Windows, iOS, and Android."
"Stable solution at a good price."
"Microsoft Tech Support is good, providing solid support."
"Intune's compliance features are valuable because they allow immediate visibility into ongoing situations."
"The best features in Microsoft Intune that I appreciate most are its centralized features."
"The support team who are interfacing with us, are excellent. They are on time for any response."
"The jump to feature function is the most valuable to us as it allows us to directly remote control customers."
"The remote reboot feature is particularly valuable for rebooting terminal servers that have power controls disabled."
"It is a lightweight, reliable solution that gives IT a direct visual of occurring issues."
"Screen sharing, in general, is pretty important for a service desk. Another thing that I have found to be very helpful is that you can also do screen sharing on a cell phone. When people have an issue with their cell phone, it is ordinarily very difficult to troubleshoot the issue. With BeyondTrust Remote Support, you can share the cell phone screen, and somebody can take a look at it remotely. I am not sure if other competing solutions offer this feature. It is pretty user-friendly. It is also good performance-wise."
"It has allowed us to quickly address the needs and issues of our end users."
"We are able to be more effectively connected to computers and servers all over the world."
"This product "just works" (without fail) and is dead-easy for clients to connect with."
"ServiceNow has been implemented to streamline team workflows across different departments in our company. Users, including traveling leaders, were able to approve requests and authorize additional rights through the mobile platform."
"The solution is stable, scalable and easy to use."
"Great that it's knowledge-based and you can use the flows in ServiceNow."
"Very good incident management, chain management and problem management features."
"I think ServiceNow is highly stable. These kinds of tools are used in a big company, and I haven't seen any issues in terms of the core platform."
"It can scale well if you are managing IT assets."
"The most valuable feature is that this is a Cloud solution."
"There are many expansions available."
 

Cons

"They can improve their MAM policies a little bit more and make them more granular. They should include more granular group policies. They are there, but they need to be more granular. Its stability should also be improved. It is not very stable. Sometimes, it shows some inconsistencies across tenants."
"The current Intune reporting functionality could benefit from some improvements."
"It would be awesome if Microsoft opened their API so we could filter more properties. If we have to do anything outside of Intune that requires a third-party solution to talk back to it, we're very limited in what we can do."
"It needs incorporation of Knox, ZeroTouch, etc."
"I also hope the cost of Remote Help will decrease because it's a much-needed Intune function."
"Intune's areas for improvement revolve around security and certificate management."
"It would be good if, in addition to the minimal patching and compliance, we could also use Intune for application deployment. For instance, if a device is not patched, Intune should have the ability to push not only a Microsoft patch but also other patches, such as a browser patch."
"The reporting and cost have room for improvement."
"They need to ensure that the remote support is compatible with the other cloud solution providers, like Huawei. Currently it is only compatible with Azure, AWS and KVM."
"Technical support for this region can be improved."
"Customer support was better in the past. About two years ago, the response times became longer."
"The ability to connect mobile devices could be improved. Smartphones and tablets are becoming more prevalent throughout corporate environments. From time to time, we have problems connecting to those devices. You can't stage the application to connect without a user's input. You had to guide them through enabling permissions for the app. Then they need to enter the URL and session key. It would be great if they could streamline that process."
"I would also like to see better support of Apple devices while using a Windows remote support console."
"There are not enough product partners in Turkey, making it difficult for me to get assistance."
"In the next release, I would like remote access to Chrome included."
"I would like to see more integration with iOS devices along with better connectivity and communication with these devices."
"The pricing of the solution could be better. It's a bit high."
"Compared to other products that I have been using, it is not as user-friendly."
"The solution’s pricing is expensive and could be improved."
"In an upcoming release, there should be more administration tools."
"From an HR standpoint, if users can have a very integrated onboarding or offboarding process between ServiceNow and Workday, then it can give a very good employee experience."
"Before implementing this solution, you should have the ITSM model in place for chain management requests. That is a prerequisite because you cannot perform tasks without it."
"I suggest making the cost more affordable for smaller companies."
"When we are using the solution on mobile phones on their networks the performance is reduced with a delay of approximately 8 seconds. There is less delay using the desktop computers connected to the WiFi or to the network directly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"No one can compete with Microsoft when it comes to price, and the features it is offering."
"There is a cost benefit of using Microsoft Intune because of the packaging with other Microsoft products."
"The price of Intune is often included as part of a bundle with other Microsoft licenses, which makes it somewhat cheaper."
"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."
"I rate Intune an eight out of ten for affordability. It's bundled with the 365 licensing, which is competitive overall."
"I liked the tool's pricing until P2 came into effect. I am unsure about the current value versus the cost of the new licensing model."
"I have no comment on pricing of the solution."
"I am satisfied with the pricing."
"Although the upfront cost is a bit overwhelming, the appliance will pay for itself in less than two years."
"Bomgar has a very fair pricing structure."
"The cost currently according to the client is a bit high for them."
"We believe for the money, it is worth what you pay."
"It is expensive. Performance-wise, it is pretty good, but we're less happy with the cost. Its licensing is on a yearly basis. It is also on a per-technician basis. A certain number of concurrent technicians can log in and access all the features."
"The solution is subscription-based and depends on the number of admin users."
"The setup is complex. Purchase the remote implementation service and make them slow down and work with you."
"Their pricing is a little bit high but it's negotiable depending on the type of client. It is approximately R6,000 per year for a user. I would rate the pricing a four out of five."
"It is very expensive because it is a big organization. You have to pay for additional things."
"I would say it is moderately expensive, ranging from six to seven on a scale of ten."
"It's sold as a less expensive solution, but it has to be highly modified. That's where you get into the cost."
"The pricing is reasonable and affordable, making it suitable for businesses ranging from small to large scale."
"The product cost is higher than that of other vendors."
"There are licensing fees."
"I am from Brazil. For Latin American markets, ServiceNow is very expensive as compared to other vendors, such as VMware."
"The CapEx version is great."
