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

"Intune has automated the deployment of patches and applications, which is more efficient and easier."
"A great solution for anyone wanting a modern endpoint device management solution."
"We were able to deploy about 65 computers in under two weeks to a completely remote user base without touching any of the machines."
"Intune enables us to manage our devices from anywhere."
"One of the biggest advantages of Microsoft Intune is that it brings the management of Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and even Linux under a single pane of glass."
"One of the most valuable aspects of Microsoft Intune is its seamless integration with Azure Active Directory, offering capabilities akin to Group Policy Objects."
"The best feature of Microsoft Intune is that it managed the endpoints."
"The solution’s most valuable feature is its ease of use."
"This is a very secure product."
"We have not encountered any issues with stability. Updates leave us with less than 30 minutes of downtime."
"You can't compete with TeamViewer or any other similar products. It's completely in a class of its own."
"The most valuable feature of BeyondTrust Remote Support is the ability to control screens remotely."
"Offers a secure method of access without having to install agents everywhere."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of the solution concerns our company's main use case, which is for connection to our remote clients."
"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

"At this time, I do not have any areas for improvement. I have heard about some downtime, but I am not in the local IT team."
"I rate Microsoft support between six to eight. The support often involves third parties hired by Microsoft who are knowledgeable, but sometimes the help I receive is not adequate."
"It would be awesome if Microsoft opened their API so we could filter more properties. If we have to do anything outside of Intune that requires a third-party solution to talk back to it, we're very limited in what we can do."
"The granular support for other device types in Microsoft Intune could be improved."
"Microsoft Intune is currently overpriced."
"The technical support by Microsoft is not so good. We have to manage many things by ourselves and do not receive responses in a timely manner."
"The solution could improve by having better integration with Apple."
"Enhancements for managing MacOS more comprehensively would be beneficial."
"It is expensive. Its initial setup was also a little bit involved, but it was nothing that we couldn't eventually handle. Currently, it has the ability to share screens. Somebody having an issue with their phone can share their screen with a technician sitting at a computer. It would be nice to also be able to control phones remotely, but this could be a limitation of a phone's operating system."
"Static notes for hosts: If I could enter notes on a Jump Client and have them appear every time I connect to that Client, it would be a huge benefit."
"Some technical aspects could be improved, particularly in product management."
"Non-Windows support capabilities need improvement. They need to expand into Macs, iOS, and Android. It's there now, however, there's room for growth and that's probably the best area to expand."
"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."
"This product has a lot of features that we do not currently use, so there may be some things that cause bloat and confusion."
"The chat needs to improve. We need to enable set hours for chat support which are separate from the remote support assistance."
"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

"I am satisfied with the pricing."
"It is cheap, but as compared to Google, it is costly. Google is cheaper, but quality-wise, Microsoft Intune is better."
"It's reasonable. They're not giving it away, but it's reasonable."
"The price is very reasonable."
"The E5 license is expensive."
"While Microsoft Intune boasts a wide range of features, its user-friendliness and bundled licensing cost are key considerations for me."
"The cost is handled through our Office 365 license, so I have yet to be able to compare it directly with other tools in its class."
"While I don't have access to high-level financial information, I believe we have achieved lower costs with this implementation."
"I highly recommend using the tech team properly trained by Bomgar. This will help the tool be more useful."
"Pricing is reasonable for what the service is offering. If it is looked at from a purely remote control perspective then it might appear expensive, but it is the wider functionality that should be considered too."
"The cost currently according to the client is a bit high for them."
"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."
"The setup is complex. Purchase the remote implementation service and make them slow down and work with you."
"I would like to order more licenses. This would allow us to support more end users concurrently."
"Although the upfront cost is a bit overwhelming, the appliance will pay for itself in less than two years."
"Its scalability depends on the business model we purchase."
