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.

General Manager at sPerception IT

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

"Intune has automated the deployment of patches and applications, which is more efficient and easier. It allows us to deploy applications, packages, Windows updates, and security updates like BitLocker encryption more efficiently and easily."

"Stable product that's easy to set up compared to other MDM products."

"The technical support of Microsoft Intune is good."

"The initial setup is not overly complex or difficult."

"It's really easy to access."

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

"It helps implement conditional access policies to restrict mobile users from accessing potentially dangerous emails."

"The solution is easy to use and it has good performance."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"The support team who are interfacing with us, are excellent. They are on time for any response."

"Bomgar has allowed our service desk (based in India) and our other support personnel based in the US to seamlessly support our users worldwide."

"It is effective. It is a good way of making sure that you're auditing what's going on. It also makes the end-user feel safe that you're not getting into things that you shouldn't be getting into because they're authorizing different areas for you to see. It is a pretty secure tool. It is important as far as security is concerned. It is very effective in terms of the support personnel being able to get the job done when they need to. It is easy for the end-user or the person we're helping out to understand how to allow somebody in to get the work done."

"It is a lightweight, reliable solution that gives IT a direct visual of occurring issues."

"This product "just works" (without fail) and is dead-easy for clients to connect with."

"We rarely need support for anything, but when we do, they are on it and always helpful."

"The solution is stable."

"The time savings that we experience from being able to get hands on with a device experiencing trouble, and the time to resolve an issue is substantial."

More BeyondTrust Remote Support pros

"It's more about the ease of use of ServiceNow. Plus, everything is there in a single platform. If you need any additional functionality, you just need to enable the plugins without even installing anything on the servers"

"I like that in ServiceNow creating workflows is simpler than that in HP Service Manager. Also, I really like the customization feature. It allows us to customize the service portal and permits us to do a lot of customization per business needs."

"We have found the service easy to use, although, we have ended up customising a lot of parameters."

"Straightforward tool."

"We always get good support."

"There are a lot of features within ServiceNow. There are plenty of add-ons that go beyond the typical core helpdesk operations, such as HR facilities, BRM functionality, and various compliance and governance capabilities."

"The feature that I have found most valuable from ServiceNow is the ability to assign sub-tasks to different teams, including problem tickets and the regular and chain tasks."

"ServiceNow is a cloud-based platform, so people won't need to worry about investing on hardware to host it. Being on the cloud, it is available 24x7. It's scalable, stable, and multifeatured, with a straightforward setup and good technical support."

More ServiceNow pros

Cons

"Sometimes, customers compare it with AirWatch, but the concept of Intune is different from other solutions. It's an application management app. It gets a bit difficult to explain it to customers, but it's not a product limitation. It takes a presale document or presentation to explain it to customers."

"Customer service is not really good. I would give it a six out of ten. The main issue is the time it takes to get someone involved who truly understands what the product does."

"It needs certificate provisioning for S/MIME purposes."

"The worst aspect is the reporting."

"Reporting needs to be better. Sometimes, it is way too slow, and it is not even accurate."

"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."

"When somebody has a customized application or their own company's application, we cannot deploy that application."

"There is room for improvement in the reporting capabilities, specifically app reporting. It is challenging to report which apps are installed on which device."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"I would like more insight into completed sessions. This would be nice, such as a historical log into the technician client application."

"iOS interactive support would be a cool addition. Right now it's a non-interactive view."

"Static notes for hosts: If I could enter notes on a Jump Client and have them appear every time I connect to that Client, it would be a huge benefit."

"The solution currently is not stable and we gave a road map of our expectations two or three days ago."

"I would like to see more integration with iOS devices along with better connectivity and communication with these devices."

"The chat needs to improve. We need to enable set hours for chat support which are separate from the remote support assistance."

"One potential improvement is in the support department. Customers based in India have to wait for support staff in the UK to start their shifts for assistance on non-urgent matters, even for severity one or two issues."

"In the next release, I would like remote access to Chrome included."

More BeyondTrust Remote Support cons

"Local solutions have lower costs."

"HR Service Management is one module that needs a lot of improvement because it's a pretty new module. It was introduced in the last two years. It's becoming more mature day by day, but there is a lot of scope for improvement in that module."

"Service mapping could be less complicated."

"The pricing of the solution could be better. It's a bit high."

"ServiceNow might need to improve its capabilities to integrate with third-party tools."

"The interface can be a bit more intuitive."

"The customization that we are doing for the needs of our organization are difficult to do and could be improved."

"It's too complicated and there are too many options."

More ServiceNow cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The purchase of the product was handled by someone else."

"Microsoft Intune has been incorporated into our Microsoft E5 licenses."

"It's monthly for us, but it's built into the license cost that we pay our IT each month. It's maybe 129 Kroner per head, which translates to £10. There are some additional costs. Our IT had to set up and configure their own server, so there is an extra cost for that, but I'm not sure what that costs."

"We don't pay for Intune because it is bundled with the premium subscription to Office 365. It includes Intune and Defender. I don't have to buy two extra products to manage my enterprise."

"Microsoft Intune has a user-based subscription model. You can go for a monthly or a yearly payment."

"In terms of the product price and licensing costs, my company finds the product to be reasonably priced."

"The licensing is on a yearly basis."

"The overall pricing of Microsoft Intune is good for companies that have big IT budgets, 3,000 or more users and devices."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"Pricing is reasonable for what the service is offering. If it is looked at from a purely remote control perspective then it might appear expensive, but it is the wider functionality that should be considered too."

"The licensing is concurrent and we spend about $10,000. It's my understanding that there aren't any extra costs beyond just the straight licensing."

"The product maintenance and licensing costs are on the higher end, so I would carefully review how many licenses you need. The concurrent license model is helpful in this manner."

"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."

"I highly recommend using the tech team properly trained by Bomgar. This will help the tool be more useful."

"It is not the most cost effective solution on the market."

"Although the upfront cost is a bit overwhelming, the appliance will pay for itself in less than two years."

"I rate Remote Support eight out of 10 for affordability. It's definitely not the cheapest product, but you get a good return on your investment."

More BeyondTrust Remote Support pricing and cost advice

"The solution is expensive."

"It has a higher cost compared to local/regional solutions."

"I know that it's not too bad because people continue to use it and they are happy to renew up their contract."

"This is a pretty expensive product, so the licensing could be better."

"ServiceNow is a leader and its pricing is quite good, quite competitive... Sometimes some plugins are not priced reasonably but, generally, the platform itself, its modules, are priced reasonably."

"It is fairly expensive."

"The price of the solution is comparable to industry standards. For the features that we received, it is reasonable."

"Certainly, from a product-platform perspective, the price is not too bad."

Reviews from Real Users

Below are some reviews and helpful feedback written by BeyondTrust Remote Support users.

A Cybersecurity Architect at a tech vendor says, “The most valuable features are the ease of deployment, performance, pre and post-sales support, the vast majority of the localization they have done and the solution provider that they support. You can't compete with TeamViewer or any other similar products. It's completely in a class of its own.”

An Enterprise Service Desk Systems Manager at a manufacturing company comments, "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."

PeerSpot user Mark B., Sr VP of Business Operations at Networking Technologies and Support, Inc., explains that he thinks the solution is “Great for delivering end-user support, good at recording sessions, and very stable.
