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.

Inexpensive with useful screen monitoring and screen sharing capabilities
I'm using the latest version of the solution. I'd recommend others switch over to Zoho. It's flexible and highly efficient while being very user-friendly. If users have remote sessions, it's quite useful; however, if there are no remote sessions needed, the solution itself isn't very useful. I'd rate the product nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I would rate the stability of Microsoft Intune nine out of ten."
"The device profiling which uses the official Outlook email enabled us to control the screenshot feature and prevent copying outside of the organization's application."
"Agile and easy to deploy MDM solution that covers the maximum number of policies. Stable, scalable, and with knowledgeable technical support."
"Overall, the best features of Microsoft Intune are its ease of management and robust security protocols, which are what I value most about it and how it stands out."
"Everything has worked better since we started using Intune."
"Intune enables us to manage our devices from anywhere."
"Microsoft Intune is reliable, scalable, and user-friendly."
"Previously, we used on-prem SCCM to deploy applications we built manually. After migrating to Intune, we automated and streamlined the process of deploying applications with autopilot. I can do more with my day. I can manage more applications and ensure that they're updated without monitoring and manually starting that process all over again."
"Remote sessions are automatically recorded so there is a history of all coding and scripting."
"A key advantage is over Password Safe, allowing third-party vendors access without directly onboarding them into the systems."
"We rarely need support for anything, but when we do, they are on it and always helpful."
"We have not encountered any issues with stability. Updates leave us with less than 30 minutes of downtime."
"Bomgar has given us the ability to manage the majority of our calls from a remote location making response times quicker and more efficient."
"We are able to be more effectively connected to computers and servers all over the world."
"This product "just works" (without fail) and is dead-easy for clients to connect with."
"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."
"It is a scalable solution. "
"Technical support is easy to reach."
"Screen monitoring and screen sharing, as well as screen remote control, are all very useful features."
 

Cons

"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."
"Microsoft Intune's app deployment presents challenges for non-MSI and non-store apps, particularly EXEs, requiring the use of a Win32 wrapper tool and adding overhead to the process."
"There can be more logs. I do not have any other requirements."
"Intune could be improved by expanding its third-party patching capabilities for a more comprehensive solution."
"Each feature has a separate license, making logistics and cost management difficult if not strategically bundled together."
"The solution could improve its flexibility."
"Microsoft Intune lacks the ability to provide seamless remote assistance or remote control."
"I wish Microsoft would keep up with their documentation. They make changes so quickly to these platforms that they do not update the documentation properly in a timely manner."
"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."
"Technical support for this region can be improved."
"In the next release, I would like remote access to Chrome included."
"The chat needs to improve. We need to enable set hours for chat support which are separate from the remote support assistance."
"​The possibility to integrate a chatbot would take this product to the next level​."
"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 remote support and privileged remote access in the one product."
"Support could be more knowledgeable."
"They do have some glitches in the microphone and speaker, especially during remote access."
"It could be integrated with IT management tools."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are licenses required for this solution. We enable licenses on the devices we need to manage."
"The purchase of the product was handled by someone else."
"With our standard E5 agreement with Microsoft, there have been no pricing concerns. Introductory professional services, like a fast-track service, were included with our E5 membership, and there have been no additional costs."
"For organizations that are a Microsoft shop, the pricing is compelling."
"I recently got to know that the AD P1 license is compulsory to use Intune Autopilot, which was surprising for me. Earlier, this was not the case. It is the wrong thing to do. We now need to purchase AD P1 licenses for us and for our customers. I would rate it a seven out of ten for pricing."
"On a scale of one to ten with one being the cheapest, the cost of Microsoft Intune is a five."
"The pricing is inherently reasonable, as Microsoft leverages market insights to maintain the total cost of ownership at around ninety to ninety-five percent of what would be incurred in an on-premise scenario."
"It's a bit expensive from a licensing perspective, especially as we look to have organizations with tenants across the globe."
"The cost currently according to the client is a bit high for them."
"I would prefer that it was more affordable."
"The solution is subscription-based and depends on the number of admin users."
"It is pretty pricey. It is not cheap. The licensing structure is not cheap. The tool is not cheap, but in the long run, it is well worth it. It is probably one of the best on the market because it is just so easy to use and easy to deploy. It gave us the ability to see what everybody was doing. It held people accountable. It gave us the accountability that we needed."
"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."
"Bomgar has a very fair pricing structure."
"For a smaller customer, the cloud solution costs around $2300 per user per year."
"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."
"Its scalability depends on the business model we purchase."
