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.

Rapid provisioning has transformed remote access and has reduced onboarding time for staff
Apache Guacamole can be improved in two areas: hosting, which requires a deeper understanding of the system to really set things up, and a definitive guide for setting it up neatly and cleanly, which should be updated regularly. Also, a manual for the rest of the features would help new users walk through it, ensuring better adoption. Additionally, while it is a really useful software, many dismiss it just because it is an Apache product and the UI looks outdated. I would give Apache Guacamole an eight out of ten because there have been moments where I faced some networking issues with it, where connections were a problem, and sometimes the login and logout processes were issues as well. I chose an eight because there are odd moments where Apache Guacamole tends to fail. Sometimes the login or logout systems would not work as well, or even after resetting the password, it would not have accepted it, making me redo the reset. Also, it can get overloaded without any warning, requiring me to debug it myself. It is good, just missing a few quality of life features that would have made it a ten.

Passive scanning excels and support proves invaluable
Regarding the cons of the Claroty Platform, it is not about the deployment, but rather the identification. The Claroty Platform becomes too noisy when it gives numerous CVEs related to vendor match. Sometimes, these CVEs are not actually related to the device in the firmware at the site. The Claroty Platform identifies effectively but sometimes identifies many CVEs which might not be the actual issue in certain scenarios.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Technical support, in general, has been quite helpful."
"It is very easy to use. It has a very easy interface."
"The cloud base is perfect for me."
"The most valuable feature of Intune is the user-friendly portal for end users."
"Intune makes our organization more secure and flexible."
"The Microsoft Windows Autopilot and Defender policies are the most valuable features of this solution."
"I would recommend Microsoft Intune to others; it is a very good and scalable solution."
"EAM is a godsend."
"I'm using Apache Guacamole as a gateway."
"Apache Guacamole is really easy to use."
"Apache Guacamole thus far has been both open source, simple to use, easy to set up, quick, and it makes it easy for me to provision systems as well."
"For those considering using Apache Guacamole, I wholeheartedly support its users since it's a free open-source software that is easy to download and use with no significant issues."
"Apache Guacamole has impacted my organization positively by providing us with a cheap alternative that is very customizable, which we can offer to customers that previously we had to decline because they could not afford Citrix."
"I like how the tool does passive and active discovery and threat detection and shows risks, recommendations, and vulnerabilities. It gives risk scores and gathers everything in one place - IP, device name, etc. We can integrate it with other tools for overall network mapping. It's useful for audits, compliance, and monitoring of all devices in the industry. It provides both monitoring and control. We also have SRA for incident response, which lets us search all alerts if we deploy the Claroty Platform."
"I believe the two main aspects where Claroty stands out are their ability to provide a complete platform and their OT-specific focus."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the map, which shows everything that is connected and communicates with each other."
"The tool's best feature was the UI and the simplicity it offers."
"The solution's asset management is really great compared to Dragos or Nozomi."
"Claroty assigns a score based on how well you are doing in the course. If you skip a video, your score decreases, making it essential to watch the content attentively."
"The main advantage of Claroty, when compared to its competitors, is integrated secure remote access."
"I have had a very good experience with the Claroty Platform."
 

Cons

"At this time, I do not have any areas for improvement. I have heard about some downtime, but I am not in the local IT team."
"There is room for improvement in the remediation and detection modules, which are currently about eighty percent fully functional."
"The reporting dashboard is really limited."
"The user interface should be more user-friendly, as it can sometimes be challenging to navigate. Microsoft often relocates features, making it difficult to consistently find what I need."
"It would be nice to have a location tracker for the mobile device management tool. I'm not sure if it exists but hasn't been configured or if it's missing, but we've been unable to utilize the location features."
"Microsoft Intune is not user-friendly to manage and has room for improvement."
"There is room for improvement in the reporting capabilities, specifically app reporting. It is challenging to report which apps are installed on which device."
"The configuration and pricing can be improved."
"I would give Apache Guacamole an eight out of ten because there have been moments where I faced some networking issues with it, where connections were a problem, and sometimes the login and logout processes were issues as well."
"There should be good documentation regarding GUI customization. Even though I can try customizing the GUI, the documentation is not comprehensive."
"The solution's USB redirection could be improved."
"There should be good documentation regarding GUI customization."
"I gave it a nine because some very advanced features such as session recording and clipboard functionality are still not available on Apache Guacamole, though they are available on Citrix."
"Claroty Platform could improve the pricing to get more acceptability in the market."
"For improvement, I think the training could be more practical. We have external training, but they're mostly theoretical. I want the solution to provide hands-on lab experience to help users learn better."
"Introducing an AI chatbot to assist you when you have doubts could be beneficial."
"There is room for improvement in the user interface to make it more vibrant and interactive, similar to IT tools."
"I've reported four bugs and three feature requests so far. The main area of focus should be on how attacks are detected. The attack vector information needs to be more detailed. For example, it's not enough to state that an SMB v1 version open can lead to a WannaCry attack. A more detailed explanation should help clients understand the various ways an attack could occur."
"The product could be improved in terms of user interface design."
"I think the only issue is that the hardware Claroty uses is expensive."
"If more AI features could be included with the Clarity solution, it would be feasible for everybody."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't have any problem as far as cost is concerned. It is bundled with our license."
"The pricing is not cheap, especially with inflation. They've had to increase their prices. It's not excessive, but alright."
"We are partners, so we receive some discount. However, from the customer's perspective, Microsoft Intune's pricing is competitive with non-Microsoft technology, and the price is good compared to other market competitors."
"The price could be better."
"I rate Intune an eight out of ten for affordability. It's bundled with the 365 licensing, which is competitive overall."
"Cost is not my department, but the product is included in the E5 license that we already pay for every user, so no additional cost is incurred."
"In terms of the product price and licensing costs, my company finds the product to be reasonably priced."
"Microsoft Intune is a cost effective choice. It is less expensive than other products on the market."
Information not available
"The licensing for physical devices is cheap, but the software version is expensive. The software version costs around 26-28 dollars. I was surprised and even double-checked. It was shocking."
"The tool is quite expensive."
"It's a bit expensive compared to other solutions."
