Joseph Merusi - PeerSpot reviewer
Everything has worked better since we started using it
Sometimes the syncing is inconsistent. I'm confident that the devices are checking in every eight hours, but sometimes the devices aren't picking up the settings as quickly as I would expect. Some features haven't been updated in a while, and Microsoft doesn't seem interested in developing them. Unless you talk to an engineer, you don't know whether there will be an update. There are communication issues, so you might start working with a feature without knowing if it will be deprecated six months from now. Some reporting areas still need development. For example, I noticed that the reporting for driver updates is still confusing.
Hahn Rolf - PeerSpot reviewer
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 setup and effective support
I am with the company that sells LogMeIn Rescue. So, we engage with end customers, enterprise customers, manufacturing customers, BFSI customers, and healthcare customers. We try to find their use cases and provision our solution accordingly. For instance, if someone is in manufacturing and wants…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One of the most valuable aspects of Microsoft Intune is its seamless integration with Azure Active Directory, offering capabilities akin to Group Policy Objects."
"Our configuration profiles used to be all over the place. For example, there's a lot of legacy stuff in Active Directory. Going through Intune has helped us enforce settings, which has improved device security and functionality. When you apply something through Intune, you know it works. You don't have to worry about a legacy setting from Active Directory that was uploaded by somebody seven years ago. With Intune, you can see that a device has a setting, and you can be confident that the device is configured how you want."
"If the product works, remote access will be a benefit. To this point we have not had reason to have confidence in achieving that access."
"The main benefit for us with Microsoft Intune is centralized management of all devices, allowing us to apply one policy across the company from one location."
"Conditional access helps me control uncontrolled access."
"I would rate the stability of Microsoft Intune nine out of ten."
"Intune's integration with Microsoft 365 is exceptional."
"The solution is stable."
"I would rate the technical support as a nine out of 10. They are polite, quick, and good with follow-ups."
"Remote Support 16.2 introduced Web Interface for Representative Console.with same functions as Desktop Console."
"The most valuable feature of the solution concerns our company's main use case, which is for connection to our remote clients."
"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."
"We have not encountered any issues with stability. Updates leave us with less than 30 minutes of downtime."
"We have the ability to securely assist users remotely with a stable product, which allows for reporting capabilities, SAML authentication, and ServiceNow integration."
"The solution is stable."
"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."
"Being able to transfer files quickly and easily via the remote file manager."
"Has an easy way to remote on to a remote computer without having prior access to it."
"It is very stable. It adjusts to bandwidth very well."
"The time it takes to troubleshoot one of our users is cut significantly."
"I will say 100% in five years, I do not think we have had to use technical support for anything."
"The tech support person I spoke to was very knowledgeable about the product, and was straightforward with me about its capabilities. There was no fluff about the product. They basically said this is not available now and we're hoping to have it available in the third or fourth quarter. It was nice to talk to someone who was straightforward and knew about the product."
"I can remote reboot and know I can reconnect automatically without having to have the end user log back in again."
"The solution has been in the market for the past 20 years. For us, it is one of the best tools."
 

Cons

"Intune should improve the management of non-Microsoft devices. It would be better to manage Mac, Android, and other non-Microsoft operating system devices within the same Intune interface."
"I'd like some more reporting so that I don't have to delve into PowerShell and I can pull more of the local device information such as memory, apps installed, etc. It would be nice to be able to see the apps that are present there but might not be managed. For example, if they installed 7Zip, it could report that back via an installed program or feature to see what was currently installed."
"They can improve their MAM policies a little bit more and make them more granular. They should include more granular group policies. They are there, but they need to be more granular. Its stability should also be improved. It is not very stable. Sometimes, it shows some inconsistencies across tenants."
"Microsoft needs to enhance device-level security, as sometimes when using Microsoft Intune, the device's operating system becomes stuck and requires a full uninstall to remove the Intune bug."
"An issue we have run into with Microsoft Endpoint Manager is that we cannot patch third-party products like Adobe and Chrome with it."
"It would be beneficial to have a more straightforward understanding of Intune's capabilities, presented in a simplified manner."
"The synchronization could be improved."
"Intune should support platforms other than Windows. We have encountered several limitations, especially when handling iOS devices."
"I would also like to see better support of Apple devices while using a Windows remote support console."
"I would like more insight into completed sessions. This would be nice, such as a historical log into the technician client application."
"It needs better Linux support. We have had issues with Ubuntu specifically."
"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."
"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."
"Lacks some kind of voice communication option."
"There are not enough product partners in Turkey, making it difficult for me to get assistance."
"​The possibility to integrate a chatbot would take this product to the next level​."
"We are currently supporting Linux, but there are certain limitations. We are currently working on improving Linux support and addressing certain limitations in the roadmap."
"They need to combine computer and mobile end-user support to be a more streamlined experience."
"it needs better iOS integration. It's still limited in its functionality when it comes to iOS. Currently, when you do something other than iOS, you're not able to take control of what's going on; instead of having to tell the user, "Click here, click there," I would like to have full control over an iOS device."
"The one big problem that I have with LogMeIn Rescue is, I use a Mac. All my technicians use PCs. I use a Mac, and the Mac agent crashes at least once a day. I have to stop it and start it again. To date, I don’t have a problem with people using PC. I think the Mac app that they have needs to be improved."
"I occasionally need to reboot my computer after using LogMeIn, due to an issue with IE. It stops responding to keyboard input every once in a while, after disconnecting from a session. A reboot resolves it."
"​The pricing, is a little on the high end but it's proven itself to be worth it for sure."
"I would like to see a mobile client that would work on an iPad, so I do not always have to be on a PC or a full-blown Mac operating system."
"Secondly, the product needs improvement on mobile interfaces because on mobile devices it doesn't perform very well. On computers, it is good, with desktops, laptops, it is good. Sometimes iPad is good, but going with other devices, like Android or Windows on smart phones, ​it's always a problem."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price for Intune is fair."
"Our enterprise agreement includes Microsoft Intune at no additional cost."
"It's affordable. It's cheaper if you have an Office 365, E5, or E3 subscription because everything is there."
"The purchase of the product was handled by someone else."
"For organizations that are a Microsoft shop, the pricing is compelling."
"The pricing for Microsoft Intune is reasonable. Our clients are satisfied."
"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."
"The tool is cheaper than our company's other MDM tools."
"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."
"I highly recommend using the tech team properly trained by Bomgar. This will help the tool be more useful."
"This product provides value for money."
"The setup is complex. Purchase the remote implementation service and make them slow down and work with you."
"The solution is subscription-based and depends on the number of admin users."
"Although the upfront cost is a bit overwhelming, the appliance will pay for itself in less than two years."
"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."
"While LogMeIn Rescue is a great product and a leader in the industry, it's way pricey. Price is the most negative thing about LogMeIn Rescue."
"The pricing is a little on the higher side, though.​"
"Look at the different plans they have. Do not pay for a plan you do not need.​"
"The pricing is worth the value."
"I did look into a couple of other products, TeamViewer in particular, at one point. The price point of Rescue, compared to some of the other things that are in the marketplace right now, is high. But it's what I would call the "Cadillac" of the industry."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
"​The rescue model is licensed by user."
"Right now, I'm using ScreenConnect, which is about $45 per technician. Unless I buy LogMeIn with a large license and commit for the long-term and prepay, I will have to pay almost $120 per user a month. It's almost three times the price over the normal price for ScreenConnect, which is very similar in regards to all of the features that LogMeIn Rescue can do."
