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.

Efficient for remote access for third-party vendors
The features are common among systems, including special management, password management, and credential management. A key advantage is over Password Safe, allowing third-party vendors access without directly onboarding them into the systems. With tools like PRA, access can be granted without creating IDs directly on AD, providing access to privileged or target systems very efficiently.

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

"Intune's most valuable feature is its centralized management capability."
"Intune makes our organization more secure and flexible."
"Intune's integration with Microsoft 365 is exceptional."
"The solution has reduced the risk of security breaches by 30%."
"Within Intune, managing policies and having a consistent way to manage devices is valuable."
"A great solution for anyone wanting a modern endpoint device management solution."
"The Autopilot feature is the most valuable because it saves significant time on managing devices."
"It is a comprehensive security solution that not only controls access to enterprise resources but also tracks and prevents unauthorized access, ensuring the protection of sensitive data and preventing potential data loss scenarios."
"We have the ability to securely assist users remotely with a stable product, which allows for reporting capabilities, SAML authentication, and ServiceNow integration."
"The jump to feature function is the most valuable to us as it allows us to directly remote control customers."
"I would rate the technical support as a nine out of 10. They are polite, quick, and good with follow-ups."
"The integrated chat service with quick elevation to a full control support session has increased our service desk efficiency."
"The most valuable feature of the solution concerns our company's main use case, which is for connection to our remote clients."
"The most valuable feature of BeyondTrust Remote Support is the ability to control screens remotely."
"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 rarely need support for anything, but when we do, they are on it and always helpful."
"Technical support is easy to reach."
"It is a scalable solution. "
"Screen monitoring and screen sharing, as well as screen remote control, are all very useful features."
 

Cons

"Automatic updating is pretty rough. It doesn't give me as much control as I had in the past."
"Having a dedicated configuration server that assists in modifying the configuration service, and creating personalized structures, interfaces, and web services could enhance usability."
"The synchronization of devices takes a significant amount of time, between 15 minutes and two hours. Microsoft should work on reducing this sync time to improve efficiency."
"It would be interesting to integrate the server side of Intune. Some group policy updates we have on the Windows Server side and possibly some on the client side could also be included."
"There should be more support for macOS. Even though macOS is supported by Intune and Microsoft is working very hard to get more features into Intune to manage macOS, that's one thing they can give a lot more attention to."
"In terms of the admin experience, it is straightforward, but the Windows enrollment experience could be improved. Sometimes, for enrollment, we have to reset devices and re-enroll them. Just configuring Windows, Azure, or Active Directory doesn't enroll the devices. We need easy enrollment for Windows."
"An area for improvement is the absence of seamless integration, particularly with external dashboards."
"Cost is the biggest factor for us right now. Microsoft Intune and AD P1 together in a bundle is a good thing to have, but it is very costly compared to other products in the market. Otherwise, Microsoft Intune is the best."
"This product has a lot of features that we do not currently use, so there may be some things that cause bloat and confusion."
"There were a few employee devices that failed during the initial deployment, which required a second deployment."
"I would also like to see better support of Apple devices while using a Windows remote support console."
"Technical support for this region can be improved."
"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​."
"I would like more insight into completed sessions. This would be nice, such as a historical log into the technician client application."
"Customer support was better in the past. About two years ago, the response times became longer."
"It could be integrated with IT management tools."
"They do have some glitches in the microphone and speaker, especially during remote access."
"Support could be more knowledgeable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Microsoft Intune has a user-based subscription model. You can go for a monthly or a yearly payment."
"The price of Microsoft Intune is reasonable."
"Microsoft Intune is pretty reasonable. We have difficulty with Azure, which is probably why we have not put many assets in Azure. Everything we put there is very expensive."
"It is not expensive."
"It's a bit expensive from a licensing perspective, especially as we look to have organizations with tenants across the globe."
"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."
"Microsoft licenses are costly."
"There are licenses required for this solution. We enable licenses on the devices we need to manage."
"Although the upfront cost is a bit overwhelming, the appliance will pay for itself in less than two years."
"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."
"We believe for the money, it is worth what you pay."
"The solution is subscription-based and depends on the number of admin users."
"We pay every year for the box, and there are no additional costs."
"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."
"It is not the most cost effective solution on the market."
"For a smaller customer, the cloud solution costs around $2300 per user per year."
"Its scalability depends on the business model we purchase."
