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

"Microsoft Intune is brilliant for scalability and is excellent for scaling purposes."
"There are no complaints about the stability. It works one hundred percent of the time."
"Based on my experience, I would recommend Microsoft Intune to organizations looking for management of a large number of devices and enterprise environments."
"The feature I like the most is that we can perform remote tasks. If we want to retire or wipe out personal data or corporate data from a device, we can use Microsoft Intune remotely, and with the click of a button, data is removed automatically. Nothing needs to be done from the end-user side."
"The interface is user-friendly, and the reporting tool works in real-time."
"Microsoft Intune's autopilot has been nice to have."
"I have been using the Enterprise Application Management feature of Microsoft Intune, which enhances abilities when it comes to app discovery, deployment, and automatic updating."
"I like Intune's ability to manage roles, maintenance tasks, compliance settings, and patch development for all endpoints."
"We have the ability to securely assist users remotely with a stable product, which allows for reporting capabilities, SAML authentication, and ServiceNow integration."
"It is a lightweight, reliable solution that gives IT a direct visual of occurring issues."
"I would rate the technical support as a nine out of 10. They are polite, quick, and good with follow-ups."
"The jump to feature function is the most valuable to us as it allows us to directly remote control customers."
"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."
"This product has drastically improved the speed and ease at which we provide client support from our Solutions Centre (service desk)."
"Remote Support 16.2 introduced Web Interface for Representative Console.with same functions as Desktop Console."
"We like that it records the remote sessions. If a technician is logged into a user remotely to fix any problem, it records the decision."
"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'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."
"What I dislike about Microsoft Intune is the time it takes Microsoft to develop a feature."
"Since GMS is unavailable in China, we currently rely on device administrator enrollment for managing Android devices there."
"An issue we have run into with Microsoft Endpoint Manager is that we cannot patch third-party products like Adobe and Chrome with it."
"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."
"In the next release, I would like a feature to be able to properly lock down the device. For example, if an attacker or somebody steals the phone, you can be sure that the pin cannot be broken."
"While the ability to deploy applications at startup is reliable, the policy-based application deployment method has not reached the same level of consistency."
"The reporting causes problems because we're trying to gather data to present to the management, but we can't get the data they request. If a user has removed an application from his device, but it won't report it at exactly the right time. It takes time to sync from the device to the portal. Let's say we are preparing a list or deck for the number of compliant devices that meet all of the organization's requirements. In a real-time scenario, that device could be compliant, but it is showing as non-compliant on the portal. It sometimes hampers the overall decisions that we make on our end."
"Lacks remote support and privileged remote access in the one product."
"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."
"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 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."
"The chat needs to improve. We need to enable set hours for chat support which are separate from the remote support assistance."
"The screen annotation tools could be expanded. I would like to see a text/typing annotation tool."
"There were a few employee devices that failed during the initial deployment, which required a second deployment."
"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."
"Having the ability to create subgroups and delegate permissions to the group members would be a helpful addition."
"The SSO feature of the solution may sometimes not function perfectly…Pricing might be improved for TeamViewer Tensor."
"The solution could include more AI (Artificial Intelligence)."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They have categorized the licenses according to the size of the business. So, if it's a smaller organization, we can choose the license accordingly. If it's a big organization, then we can choose accordingly. Everything is clearly mentioned, and we can decide. It's suitable for all kinds of infrastructure, and that's very goo"
"The price of Microsoft Intune is reasonable."
"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."
"We spend a lot of money on Intune licensing, and some of our users have to be double licensed just because of how our dev and corporate environments are segmented."
"Its price is fair. It's a normal price. It isn't too expensive or too cheap."
"Microsoft Intune is available for individual purchase at a low per-device cost."
"I don't have any problem as far as cost is concerned. It is bundled with our license."
"Although the upfront cost is a bit overwhelming, the appliance will pay for itself in less than two years."
"I highly recommend using the tech team properly trained by Bomgar. This will help the tool be more useful."
"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."
"BeyondTrust Remote Support is a very expensive product."
"For a smaller customer, the cloud solution costs around $2300 per user per year."
"​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.​"
"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 prefer that it was more affordable."
"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."
