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

"The interface is user-friendly, and the reporting tool works in real-time."
"Intune's security features for Apple iOS and Mac OS are helpful. We can check enrollment, manage public and private settings, and manage the organization's data using security key features."
"It supports end-users who tend to lock their devices quite frequently. Its conditional access policy helps us keep the users logged into their devices."
"Based on my experience, I would recommend Microsoft Intune to organizations looking for management of a large number of devices and enterprise environments."
"The thing I appreciate most about Microsoft Intune is that the management of the devices was very simplified. We have all machines connected to it at all times, whether they are in the office or working from home."
"Previously, we used on-prem SCCM to deploy applications we built manually. After migrating to Intune, we automated and streamlined the process of deploying applications with autopilot. I can do more with my day. I can manage more applications and ensure that they're updated without monitoring and manually starting that process all over again."
"Dynamic groups allow us to set conditions for automatic membership, eliminating the need for user intervention or manual review and ensuring a seamless workflow."
"The main advantage is that Intune performs its intended functions effectively."
"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."
"We have the ability to securely assist users remotely with a stable product, which allows for reporting capabilities, SAML authentication, and ServiceNow integration."
"We are able to be more effectively connected to computers and servers all over the world."
"We like that it records the remote sessions. If a technician is logged into a user remotely to fix any problem, it records the decision."
"The integrated chat service with quick elevation to a full control support session has increased our service desk efficiency."
"It has allowed us to quickly address the needs and issues of our end users."
"It's very secure, and it works very well. I like their remote support feature. It can be used for our clients' desktops or anywhere where the client can be working. I'd have to say the product is very good. It's a strong solution for us."
"Bomgar has allowed our service desk (based in India) and our other support personnel based in the US to seamlessly support our users worldwide."
"By integrating all our connections previously spread across multiple locations, a lot of time has been saved."
"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."
"Devolutions's team is constantly making improvements to their products. If you submit a feature request, they are usually quick to implement it."
""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."
"RDM has enabled me to do most of my work in one place. This helps me be able to have an RDP session open to a server in one tab and an SSH session open to a VMware host in another."
"Initial setup was very straightforward."
"Integration with a third party credential storage, web login, and VPN are the most usable and useful functions at the moment."
"One credential can be used to access VPN, RDS, and more."
 

Cons

"Microsoft Intune could enhance its patch management for various devices, ensuring regular updates and tracking of device privileges."
"One issue that Inutune can improve is password integration with the BitLocker key option. Another issue is assigning licenses. We can assign the licenses for some users on the BPM side, and our BPS users work on Outlook 365 but cannot access it there. A BPS person can go to the company portal and download Outlook 2016. They could improve the NDIS part to assign a license directly to the BPS person that allows them to install the Intune device manager directly on our system."
"You can have a bad day where 80% of the enrollments failed. The next day it's running with the same devices without any changes, and you don't know why."
"There's quite a lot of development that they can do within their Intune dashboard. I think there are too many lines hyperlinked to move you around. Others, in contrast, give you a simple dashboard and an intuitive administrative walkthrough."
"Microsoft Intune has potential for improvement; I would like to see a lot more customization in the reporting tools."
"There can be more logs. I do not have any other requirements."
"Intune could be improved by expanding its third-party patching capabilities for a more comprehensive solution."
"Intune's areas for improvement revolve around security and certificate management."
"I would also like to see better support of Apple devices while using a Windows remote support console."
"Technical support for this region can be improved."
"iOS interactive support would be a cool addition. Right now it's a non-interactive view."
"It lacks voice integration like the other products because they need the compression to support that large amount of concurrent sessions. We've had to sacrifice voice."
"The chat needs to improve. We need to enable set hours for chat support which are separate from the remote support assistance."
"There were a few employee devices that failed during the initial deployment, which required a second deployment."
"Lacks some kind of voice communication option."
"There are not enough product partners in Turkey, making it difficult for me to get assistance."
"Security roles could be improved, especially by enabling renaming of a role."
"Maybe some clipboard functions could be added along with integration of different software."
"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."
"Sometimes when updating, the install window is on top of the prompt to close the application."
"The console is a little bit clunky."
"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."
"Sometimes the manual inventory of some entries hangs, and RDM must be closed via task manager."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The overall pricing of Microsoft Intune is good for companies that have big IT budgets, 3,000 or more users and devices."
"Consider the Microsoft Enterprise Mobility Suite rather than choosing specific sub-components, e.g. only Microsoft Intune."
"Microsoft Intune has been incorporated into our Microsoft E5 licenses."
"Intune is included with our F3 and E5 licenses."
"The pricing for Intune and the competitor products are all within the same range, there is no true advantage when it comes to cost."
"Previously the price was $4 per month per user. Now it's $2.25 per user per month."
"For Microsoft 365 E5 clients, cost is not an issue as this product is one of the benefits."
"It is not expensive."
"The solution is subscription-based and depends on the number of admin users."
"I would like to order more licenses. This would allow us to support more end users concurrently."
"​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.​"
"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."
"This product provides value for money."
"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."
"We believe for the money, it is worth what you pay."
"It is not the most cost effective solution on the market."
"The Free Edition is completely free. You can try also the Enterprise Edition for 30 days for free."
"If you are a Microsoft MVP, VMware vExpert, Cisco Champion, etc., Devolutions offers a free Enterprise License."
"Setup costs for most people is negligible."
