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.
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

"I rate Intune 10 out of 10."
"The system itself is great."
"Overall, I would rate Microsoft Intune as eight out of ten."
"The central administration con dashboard is very easy to use and provides very good oversight on all that needs to be monitored."
"The biggest benefit for me in Microsoft Intune is control; I can control my users and what they can do and enforce the policies that I want to enforce, and it is a great tool to control and put structure to take the organization to the place I want to take it."
"The conditional access policies that we set up are very useful."
"The Autopilot feature is the most valuable because it saves significant time on managing devices."
"We were able to deploy about 65 computers in under two weeks to a completely remote user base without touching any of the machines."
"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."
"It is a lightweight, reliable solution that gives IT a direct visual of occurring issues."
"Bomgar is used for connecting with our end users and helping them to resolve any issues that they have on their computer."
"I personally like the ability to share files with other machines."
"A key advantage is over Password Safe, allowing third-party vendors access without directly onboarding them into the systems."
"I would rate the technical support as a nine out of 10. They are polite, quick, and good with follow-ups."
"Bomgar has given us the ability to manage the majority of our calls from a remote location making response times quicker and more efficient."
"This product "just works" (without fail) and is dead-easy for clients to connect with."
"By integrating all our connections previously spread across multiple locations, a lot of time has been saved."
"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."
"Setup and installation was simple."
""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."
"Being able to store my credentials makes connecting a breeze."
"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."
"One credential can be used to access VPN, RDS, and more."
"It really helps to have all the data already pre-entered and all I have to do is enter the password."
 

Cons

"The time we have to wait to deploy policies has room for improvement."
"A more incisive reporting tool with automated progress updates and graphical representation would be beneficial, as the current manual method lacks efficiency and visual clarity."
"What frustrates me the most is just waiting and tapping my fingers, uncertain about whether my changes will take effect."
"The solution could improve by having better integration with Apple."
"From a new user's perspective, it may be a little overwhelming because there are quite a few things to look at in the console, however, once you are sort of acclimated and are familiar with your core functions, it's fairly simple and straightforward."
"Sometimes, it takes time to synchronize the policies between the portal and the devices, you don't have a way to estimate how long it will take to deploy. You have some kind of gray area, where it can deploy in 30 minutes or three days."
"Additional application deployment options e.g. MSI deployment with more complex parameters or additional side-by-side files, and non-MSI deployment options."
"Intune's privilege management feature, while beneficial, is less intuitive than other Intune features, making it challenging to use."
"The Remote support solution based on Bomgar has physical appliances deployed and leveraged to serve our multiple customers. Aging appliances are going RMA now and then."
"Lacks remote support and privileged remote access in the one product."
"This product has a lot of features that we do not currently use, so there may be some things that cause bloat and confusion."
"I would also like to see better support of Apple devices while using a Windows remote support console."
"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."
"One potential improvement is in the support department."
"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."
"It could be more compatible with other applications. We had trouble with compatibility when it came to Entrust. This is because we had issues with Windows machines when we installed Entrust."
"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."
"On complex setups, I actually needed to reach out to support to get it working correctly."
"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 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."
"Sometimes when updating, the install window is on top of the prompt to close the application."
"The console is a little bit clunky."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Microsoft Intune has a user-based subscription model. You can go for a monthly or a yearly payment."
"It is not expensive."
"Microsoft's licensing is more flexible and adaptive than its competitors."
"Microsoft Intune is more expensive than other solutions, but it offers a wider range of features and control."
"Its price is quite okay. I wish they provide certain additional features with the same license."
"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."
"For Microsoft 365 E5 clients, cost is not an issue as this product is one of the benefits."
"The price of Intune is often included as part of a bundle with other Microsoft licenses, which makes it somewhat cheaper."
"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."
"This product provides value for money."
"We believe for the money, it is worth what you pay."
"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."
"Although the upfront cost is a bit overwhelming, the appliance will pay for itself in less than two years."
"The solution is subscription-based and depends on the number of admin users."
"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."
"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."
