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.

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 appreciate Intune's autopilot feature, which allows us to enroll devices and install applications to meet corporate requirements seamlessly."
"The most valuable feature of Intune is the ability to reset a lost device and remove all the data."
"It has helped with compliance. It has helped to ensure that devices comply with the organization's policy. If they are not compliant and secure, they cannot access the resources."
"Microsoft integrated BitLocker and Active Directory into Intune, simplifying management."
"I like the fact that it's integrated with the rest of the Microsoft products, so customers can manage it from their Office 365 portal or Azure portal."
"This product offers an alternative solution to other UEM (Unified Endpoint Management) solutions."
"Conditional access helps me control uncontrolled access."
"The mobile application management, MAM, is the most useful aspect of the solution."
"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."
"I would rate the product ten out of ten."
"The solution is stable."
"You can't compete with TeamViewer or any other similar products. It's completely in a class of its own."
"A key advantage is over Password Safe, allowing third-party vendors access without directly onboarding them into the systems."
"Offers a secure method of access without having to install agents everywhere."
"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."
"I personally like the ability to share files with other machines."
"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

"Microsoft Intune lacks live location tracking capabilities. Improvements should be made in terms of MDM platforms for other devices."
"The initial setup is a little bit complex."
"Currently, BitLocker does not support BYOD enrollment, which is a product limitation."
"No option to do end-to-en macOS management. Slow implementation of policies."
"Microsoft Intune lacks live location tracking capabilities."
"When pushing anything from Microsoft Intune, the sync timing is 48 hours. While sometimes it takes 5 to 10 minutes, the official period given by Microsoft is within 48 hours, which can be time-consuming for policies, applications, or patches."
"I assess the stability of the product as low. I have faced downtime crashes and performance issues with Microsoft Intune."
"Intune could add more features that are relevant to the core application control functions. For example, it would be helpful if it had more control over the on-prem environment from the cloud platform. Greater Teams availability in the Saudi market would also be helpful."
"I would also like to see better support of Apple devices while using a Windows remote support console."
"One potential improvement is in the support department."
"In the next release, I would like remote access to Chrome included."
"This product has a lot of features that we do not currently use, so there may be some things that cause bloat and confusion."
"I would like more insight into completed sessions. This would be nice, such as a historical log into the technician client application."
"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."
"The screen annotation tools could be expanded. I would like to see a text/typing annotation tool."
"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."
"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

"I would rate the price a four out of ten with ten being the most expensive."
"Intune is available as an individual product, but it also comes with Office 365 Premium or an Enterprise license, and the price varies for each version."
"Every customer used to purchase licenses based on their needs."
"The overall pricing of Microsoft Intune is good for companies that have big IT budgets, 3,000 or more users and devices."
"While I don't have access to high-level financial information, I believe we have achieved lower costs with this implementation."
"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."
"There are licenses required for this solution. We enable licenses on the devices we need to manage."
"We use Defender ATP and E5 licenses."
"The solution is subscription-based and depends on the number of admin users."
"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."
"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."
"I would prefer that it was more affordable."
"We pay every year for the box, and there are no additional costs."
"Bomgar has a very fair pricing structure."
"It is not the most cost effective solution on the market."
"The cost currently according to the client is a bit high for them."
"Its scalability depends on the business model we purchase."
