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.

Secure remote access has transformed global support and simplified cross-platform collaboration
BeyondTrust Remote Support has good features that are not available in other apps, including rebooting without disconnection and the ALT + CTRL + deletion function. It's easier for data transfer, and multiple people can join a session easily. I think BeyondTrust Remote Support could be improved by being a bit more user-friendly in terms of connecting for a user. I would add that the zoom function allows us to zoom, but you can't particularly move around once you have zoomed in. Additionally, sometimes a remote connection cannot be established for unknown reasons, even if the host machine is clearly online. I have noticed that BeyondTrust ABS can sometimes be challenging to navigate, but it's no more challenging than other competitors.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the policy CSPs."
"The solution is scalable. We currently have tens of thousands of users within our organization using the solution."
"Advanced endpoint analytics provides granular information about devices in Microsoft Intune, facilitating easier troubleshooting at system and application levels."
"For our office workers who are not based in Norway, when we order the PC, we can do some of the settings for them. These are standardized settings. We can set them up exactly as they are in Norway so that they're the same."
"The initial setup is not complex."
"The best features in Microsoft Intune that I appreciate most are its centralized features."
"The Advanced Endpoint Analytics in Microsoft Intune has improved and helps us proactively detect and remediate anomalies in endpoints."
"The solution has significantly improved managing a diverse range of devices. We have observed enhancements across Android, iOS, and Windows devices."
"Remote sessions are automatically recorded so there is a history of all coding and scripting."
"This product has drastically improved the speed and ease at which we provide client support from our Solutions Centre (service desk)."
"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."
"I would rate the technical support as a nine out of 10. They are polite, quick, and good with follow-ups."
"It has allowed us to quickly address the needs and issues of our end users."
"I like Remote Support's ability to connect to a system without end-user interaction. A support engineer can log in to the system if a user is stuck and doesn't know where to go. This is helpful when conference room computers get locked down and the user can't access the guest OS."
"It has a straightforward setup. Bomgar has created a simple, lightweight deployment process."
"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."
"This product is very simple to use and you can connect whether you are behind a firewall or not."
"The most valuable feature of TeamViewer Tensor is the remote access."
"Remote desktop sharing is one valuable feature of the solution."
 

Cons

"I switched away from Microsoft Intune because it cannot manage the MacBook very well."
"The solution could be improved by the opportunity to connect third-party application databases, such as Chocolatey or another setup store, to 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's server management could be better. If it could incorporate more features from System Center into Intune's Configuration Manager, it would be beneficial."
"Intune endpoint analytics can be challenging."
"Intune should improve its software inventory to provide better metering of which software is used throughout the company. This is especially needed for reporting third-party software solutions."
"Manually syncing devices to enforce policies is cumbersome."
"If you wish to block any App Store application, there is no way to do so."
"​The possibility to integrate a chatbot would take this product to the next level​."
"They need to ensure that the remote support is compatible with the other cloud solution providers, like Huawei. Currently it is only compatible with Azure, AWS and KVM."
"The chat needs to improve. We need to enable set hours for chat support which are separate from the remote support assistance."
"We sometimes have trouble accessing servers because of credentialing and multifactor authentication issues with PAM."
"Customer support was better in the past. About two years ago, the response times became longer."
"It is pricey. It would be nice if it weren't so expensive because then you could afford more licenses and have more people involved, but I get it. They do have something that's unique compared to some of their competitors out on the market. It is a very robust and safe tool. If the price could come down, that'd be great."
"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."
"There are not enough product partners in Turkey, making it difficult for me to get assistance."
"Having the ability to create subgroups and delegate permissions to the group members would be a helpful addition."
"The solution could include more AI (Artificial Intelligence)."
"The SSO feature of the solution may sometimes not function perfectly…Pricing might be improved for TeamViewer Tensor."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For organizations that are a Microsoft shop, the pricing is compelling."
"Generally, we get favorable discounts, so it's not too bad. Obviously, we're looking at decreasing those wherever we can to bring value back to the public purse because it's all charity based. It's all publicly funded."
"It is not a cheap solution. The price for a device when you start using it at a large scale can be improved. It is covered under our enterprise agreement. We pay once a year. I am not aware of any additional costs."
"It's affordable for the protection it gives. There are no additional costs."
"Microsoft Intune is not cost-effective as a standalone product."
"It's affordable. It's cheaper if you have an Office 365, E5, or E3 subscription because everything is there."
"I don't have any problem as far as cost is concerned. It is bundled with our license."
"Existing E5 license holders for M365, Intune, and Azure, receive a free license."
"I would prefer that it was more affordable."
"I highly recommend using the tech team properly trained by Bomgar. This will help the tool be more useful."
"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 would like to order more licenses. This would allow us to support more end users concurrently."
"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."
"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."
"​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 pricing a ten on a scale from one to ten, where one is low and ten is high. There are no additional costs attached to the licensing of the solution."
"The pricing is a little bit on the higher side."
