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
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

"For our clients, the conditional access feature along with different compliance policies that they can set is valuable."
"The reporting and analytics features in Microsoft Intune have been a lifesaver."
"Stable solution at a good price."
"Microsoft Intune is best for Windows devices and security in Office 365 and Microsoft-related enterprise environments. It's a nice platform for endpoint management."
"The initial setup is not complex."
"The ease of applying security policies to applications we deploy is the most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune."
"Conditional access has helped us tailor and enforce our security policies in the mobile space."
"Intune's most valuable feature is its centralized management capability."
"One of the largest values that we get from Bomgar Remote Support tool is the ability to assist our drivers with their mobile devices. We were unable to do this previously."
"Bomgar has allowed our service desk (based in India) and our other support personnel based in the US to seamlessly support our users worldwide."
"Remote sessions are automatically recorded so there is a history of all coding and scripting."
"This product "just works" (without fail) and is dead-easy for clients to connect with."
"Remote Support 16.2 introduced Web Interface for Representative Console.with same functions as Desktop Console."
"This product has drastically improved the speed and ease at which we provide client support from our Solutions Centre (service desk)."
"Solution has a good UI."
"We are able to be more effectively connected to computers and servers all over the world."
"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."
"Devolutions's team is constantly making improvements to their products. If you submit a feature request, they are usually quick to implement it."
"It really helps to have all the data already pre-entered and all I have to do is enter the password."
""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."
"One credential can be used to access VPN, RDS, and more."
"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."
 

Cons

"There is improvement needed in integrating with the installed Office solutions versions, such as Office 2019. The Office 365 integrates without a problem."
"There is still a gap between SCCM and Intune, especially in the reporting, inventory, and software deployment areas."
"It would be great to see on-premises mailboxes and for the solution to have geofencing capabilities."
"When Microsoft Intune is used with different android devices it does not always work as it is supposed to."
"I assess the stability of the product as low. I have faced downtime crashes and performance issues with Microsoft Intune."
"The reports aren't complete, and it's not easy to build custom reports. For example, Windows Autopilot isn't working well in cases where the computers don't have a good internet connection. Then the option is not good enough."
"Intune has all the features enabled for Windows devices but needs to be improved on iOS and Apple devices."
"The solution can have some compliance problems in general and the end-point user can bypass easily the company policies in Intune."
"Lacks some kind of voice communication option."
"One potential improvement is in the support department. Customers based in India have to wait for support staff in the UK to start their shifts for assistance on non-urgent matters, even for severity one or two issues."
"Non-Windows support capabilities need improvement. They need to expand into Macs, iOS, and Android. It's there now, however, there's room for growth and that's probably the best area to expand."
"Technical support for this region can be improved."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I would also like to see better support of Apple devices while using a Windows remote support console."
"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."
"Maybe some clipboard functions could be added along with integration of different software."
"If there was a way to streamline the process, it would make it nice."
"Sometimes the manual inventory of some entries hangs, and RDM must be closed via task manager."
"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."
"Security roles could be improved, especially by enabling renaming of a role."
"The filing system of connections is a little clunky, but is completely functional."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't have any problem as far as cost is concerned. It is bundled with our license."
"This cost is approximately $30 USD per user per month."
"Its price is quite okay. I wish they provide certain additional features with the same license."
"Most of our clients come to us with licensing already in place. On average, it costs $6 per device per month to add Intune to an Office 365 subscription, but I am not sure."
"Intune is inexpensive. It also comes bundled in some Office 365 licenses, so you can choose to purchase it separately or as a package."
"It's a bit expensive from a licensing perspective, especially as we look to have organizations with tenants across the globe."
"Microsoft Intune's pricing is reasonable."
"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."
"It is expensive. Performance-wise, it is pretty good, but we're less happy with the cost. Its licensing is on a yearly basis. It is also on a per-technician basis. A certain number of concurrent technicians can log in and access all the features."
"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."
"​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 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."
"BeyondTrust Remote Support is a very expensive product."
"It is not the most cost effective solution on the market."
"Bomgar has a very fair pricing structure."
"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."
"If you are a Microsoft MVP, VMware vExpert, Cisco Champion, etc., Devolutions offers a free Enterprise License."
"Setup costs for most people is negligible."
"The Free Edition is completely free. You can try also the Enterprise Edition for 30 days for free."
