Sr MacOS specialist engineer at Cyber24
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.
Himanshu-Pandey - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Manager at Accenture
Efficient for remote access for third-party vendors
The features are common among systems, including special management, password management, and credential management. A key advantage is over Password Safe, allowing third-party vendors access without directly onboarding them into the systems. With tools like PRA, access can be granted without creating IDs directly on AD, providing access to privileged or target systems very efficiently.
StephenWatson - PeerSpot reviewer
National Sales Manager & Technical Consultant at Secure Networks
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

"Microsoft Intune is easy to use, and it is able to enforce policies towards multiple devices. It is able to bring multiple classes of devices into the same security posture. I found that very useful."
"Microsoft Intune is unique in providing management for all operating systems, including macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS."
"The device profiling which uses the official Outlook email enabled us to control the screenshot feature and prevent copying outside of the organization's application."
"One of our clients migrated the model workplace based on Intune, achieving a 78 percent cost reduction, which is quite a lot."
"The best features include the management, which is quite good, and endpoints."
"The Advanced Endpoint Analytics in Microsoft Intune has improved and helps us proactively detect and remediate anomalies in endpoints."
"Dynamic groups allow us to set conditions for automatic membership, eliminating the need for user intervention or manual review and ensuring a seamless workflow."
"Autopilot is the most valuable feature."
"This is a very secure product."
"A key advantage is over Password Safe, allowing third-party vendors access without directly onboarding them into the systems."
"We have the ability to securely assist users remotely with a stable product, which allows for reporting capabilities, SAML authentication, and ServiceNow integration."
"Bomgar has given us the ability to manage the majority of our calls from a remote location making response times quicker and more efficient."
"Live chat enabled a new support channel into our service desk, integrating with our Service Management toolset. The meet-in-the-middle remote control functionality bypassed a lot of network restrictions that hampered our previous solution, enabling a far wider reach to our end-users."
"This product has drastically improved the speed and ease at which we provide client support from our Solutions Centre (service desk)."
"Bomgar is used for connecting with our end users and helping them to resolve any issues that they have on their computer."
"Remote Support 16.2 introduced Web Interface for Representative Console.with same functions as Desktop Console."
"Integration with a third party credential storage, web login, and VPN are the most usable and useful functions at the moment."
""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."
"Allows us to configure limited access to resources with the security-based role feature (which we use for trainees and new employees)."
"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."
"Documentation per entry, good for device configs or important/special instructions."
"Being able to aggregate all connections (RDP, FTP, SSH, VPN, etc.) in the same interface and make each server readily available in the same way, which lets me focus on the problem regardless of where it is."
"The interface is great to work with as it allows multiple connections in a tabbed interface. It also has the option to automatically start a VPN or an SSH tunnel, if required."
"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."
 

Cons

"The solution could improve by having better integration with Apple."
"The reporting functionality of Microsoft Intune is limited compared to Microsoft System Center, which offers many more reporting options."
"The interoperability or communication with a different platform can be better. It is a two-way street. It is not only about Microsoft. The other platforms also have to be willing to share some information, but that absolutely can be improved."
"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."
"In terms of the admin experience, it is straightforward, but the Windows enrollment experience could be improved. Sometimes, for enrollment, we have to reset devices and re-enroll them. Just configuring Windows, Azure, or Active Directory doesn't enroll the devices. We need easy enrollment for Windows."
"The granular support for other device types in Microsoft Intune could be improved."
"Historically, Group Policy has simplified the management of various items, such as printer and drive mappings and while Intune offers workarounds, it lacks native support for these functionalities."
"However, due to access limitations, we are unable to deploy certain security features on end-user devices."
"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."
"Technical support for this region can be improved."
"Lacks remote support and privileged remote access in the one product."
"It needs better Linux support. We have had issues with Ubuntu specifically."
"There are not enough product partners in Turkey, making it difficult for me to get assistance."
"One potential improvement is in the support department."
"Customer support was better in the past. About two years ago, the response times became longer."
"I would have picked an internal team member who was going to stay on the team for more time. Shortly after we went live, we had a change of staff and lost the main implementer."
"Maybe some clipboard functions could be added along with integration of different software."
"The console is a little bit clunky."
"Sometimes the manual inventory of some entries hangs, and RDM must be closed via task manager."
"The filing system of connections is a little clunky, but is completely functional."
"Security roles could be improved, especially by enabling renaming of a role."
"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 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."
"If there was a way to streamline the process, it would make it nice."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing costs we leave up to the customer and these vary from one to another."
"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."
"Previously the price was $4 per month per user. Now it's $2.25 per user per month."
"While Microsoft charges for actual usage, it lacks discount options."
"There is a cost benefit of using Microsoft Intune because of the packaging with other Microsoft products."
"The clients pay for a license and each can have a different type of license, such as an E3 or E5."
"The Intune license model is costly."
"Consider the Microsoft Enterprise Mobility Suite rather than choosing specific sub-components, e.g. only Microsoft Intune."
"​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.​"
"I highly recommend using the tech team properly trained by Bomgar. This will help the tool be more useful."
"The cost currently according to the client is a bit high for them."
"We pay every year for the box, and there are no additional costs."
"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."
"I would like to order more licenses. This would allow us to support more end users concurrently."
"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 not the most cost effective solution on the market."
"Setup costs for most people is negligible."
"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."
