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.

Easy to deploy with great security and responsive support
The security on offer is the most valuable aspect of the solution. It offers, for example, two-factor authentification. The remote connection across platforms is great. You can deploy it on anything, including Windows, Mac, iOS, your iPhone, et cetera. It offers multi-platform utility. This makes it great for enterprise. Users can use it for PAM access as well. The feature of Devolutions that has improved our customer's efficiency the most is probably the security side. It's gotten a lot tighter. Authentication and secure connections are helpful. They use encryption between them, which is just standard for them. The company has so many regulatory controls that they must ensure their security is very tight. There's a lot of potential cybercrime around casinos, and this solution ensures they are well-protected. Devolutions is a great product that can be safely used between China, Australia, or the Philippines, and it remains a good, safe product.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Intune is effective because of the configuration management and endpoint security it provides. The graphical interface makes it easier to configure and deploy devices."
"Stable product that's easy to set up compared to other MDM products."
"It allows our clients to have the confidence to centrally manage policies for security. It helps them in securing the organization from a technology aspect."
"Intune provides full endpoint visibility and IT control across device platforms. You can individualize it for your company with the Intune Company Portal app."
"When a user receives the machine, sets it up, and turns it on, it connects to the domain and begins installing software, becoming ready within approximately half an hour, which represents a significant time savings for IT departments."
"First of all, the integration with the rest of Microsoft's products is a major win."
"With on-premises Active Directory, the main challenge was that we had no control when a user was working from home. We didn't know what exactly a user was doing and whether the AV was up to date or not. Intune provides better control of their machines."
"It helps us manage user certificates."
"I would rate the technical support as a nine out of 10. They are polite, quick, and good with follow-ups."
"The solution has been very stable. We haven't had issues at all. It doesn't crash or freeze. There aren't bugs or glitches either."
"The remote reboot feature is particularly valuable for rebooting terminal servers that have power controls disabled."
"One of the great features is that service desk members can work together in a remote session."
"The file transfer feature allows IT to provide needed drivers and files without interfering with the employee's workflow."
"This is a very secure product."
"This product "just works" (without fail) and is dead-easy for clients to connect with."
"We have not encountered any issues with stability. Updates leave us with less than 30 minutes of downtime."
""Inherited" function for credentials - Configure the desired credential at one (top) location, and use the Inherited function on all sub-connections that should use this credential."
"Documentation per entry, good for device configs or important/special instructions."
"Integration with a third party credential storage, web login, and VPN are the most usable and useful functions at the moment."
"The remote connection across platforms is great."
"Initial setup was very straightforward."
"Devolutions's team is constantly making improvements to their products. If you submit a feature request, they are usually quick to implement it."
"It saves a lot of time for all of our IT staff from having to just use the RDP Windows client and reenter each server every time we access a different system."
"The ability to have all the connection information in one location saves so much time from trying to manage the same information across different applications."
 

Cons

"It would be beneficial to have a more straightforward understanding of Intune's capabilities, presented in a simplified manner."
"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."
"Certificate management within Microsoft Intune's Suite is still under development. It's not very reliable compared to other certificate tools, though it has made good progress within a couple of years."
"The reporting could be improved, as it's pretty poor compared to other products of this type."
"Reporting needs improvement."
"The time we have to wait to deploy policies has room for improvement."
"Reporting in Microsoft solutions is pathetic. With Intune, I'm getting a free inventory tool, but I don't get a reporting tool. When I go to Intune, I can see one machine's entire data in terms of the hardware and the software running on it, but I cannot generate a report for all the machines in the organization. The reporting is the only feature holding back the functionality that is already there."
"The solution could be improved by the opportunity to connect third-party application databases, such as Chocolatey or another setup store, to Intune."
"Some technical aspects could be improved, particularly in product management."
"iOS interactive support would be a cool addition. Right now it's a non-interactive view."
"Technical support for this region can be improved."
"This product has a lot of features that we do not currently use, so there may be some things that cause bloat and confusion."
"The Bomgar representative console could do with modernising. The Web rep console introduced is a marked improvement, but is currently not at feature parity with the thick client. This is being worked on."
"I would also like to see better support of Apple devices while using a Windows remote support console."
"We sometimes have trouble accessing servers because of credentialing and multifactor authentication issues with PAM."
"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 console is a little bit clunky."
"Sometimes the manual inventory of some entries hangs, and RDM must be closed via task manager."
"If there was a way to streamline the process, it would make it nice."
"Maybe some clipboard functions could be added along with integration of different software."
"There are always bugs to squash, beyond that, it is really kind of difficult for new users to discover and use many of the features due to the bewildering array of choices and ways to do things."
"The RDM client (.NET issue, actually) can stall or lock up while it clears communication threads to the server."
"The filing system of connections is a little clunky, but is completely functional."
"The only complaint I have heard is there are too many updates. Each time there is an update (the app prompts to upgrade), it can be time consuming, especially when sometimes there are multiple updates per week."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"All security solutions worldwide are expensive. Microsoft has allowed a small scale of features within Microsoft Intune for cost-efficient solutions. If you want the full suite, you need to invest more to gain better security features."
"I am satisfied with the pricing."
"Microsoft Intune costs about $7 per user per month, which is somewhat on the pricier end. That said, it's a reliable product, so it's fair."
"Microsoft Intune's pricing is reasonable."
"The purchase of the product was handled by someone else."
"The solution is cost-efficient."
"We use Defender ATP and E5 licenses."
"No one can compete with Microsoft when it comes to price, and the features it is offering."
"I highly recommend using the tech team properly trained by Bomgar. This will help the tool be more useful."
"For a smaller customer, the cloud solution costs around $2300 per user per year."
"We believe for the money, it is worth what you pay."
"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."
"This product provides value for money."
"It is pretty pricey. It is not cheap. The licensing structure is not cheap. The tool is not cheap, but in the long run, it is well worth it. It is probably one of the best on the market because it is just so easy to use and easy to deploy. It gave us the ability to see what everybody was doing. It held people accountable. It gave us the accountability that we needed."
"I would like to order more licenses. This would allow us to support more end users concurrently."
"If you are a Microsoft MVP, VMware vExpert, Cisco Champion, etc., Devolutions offers a free Enterprise License."
"The Free Edition is completely free. You can try also the Enterprise Edition for 30 days for free."
"Setup costs for most people is negligible."
