Centralized device management has transformed security and streamlined remote provisioning
One area where Microsoft Intune can improve is the user interface. Sometimes the portal feels a bit complex and not very intuitive, especially for new users, and it can take time to find specific settings. Another point is troubleshooting. While logs are available, the diagnostic policies and sync issues can still be time-consuming and not very straightforward. I also feel that reporting could be more detailed and customizable. The built-in reports are helpful, but for deeper insights, I often need to rely on additional tools. Overall, it is a strong solution, but improving usability and troubleshooting experience would make it even better. While Microsoft Intune works very well within the Microsoft ecosystem, the integration of some third-party tools could be smoother and require less customization. Support is another area that could improve, as sometimes response times can be slow, and resolving complex issues may take longer than expected. In terms of features, I think more advanced automation and built-in remediation options would be helpful since common issues can be fixed automatically without manual intervention.

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.

Secure, reliable, and great for remote access
It makes access very easy. If we have to work at night or after office hours, if customers report a problem, we can solve issues remotely, outside of office hours, from wherever. The initial setup is straightforward. The solution is stable. It is scalable. Technical support is easy to reach.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Intune is flexible. If you want to move a device that was previously on-prem, we can bring it to the cloud and apply all the policies. This is helpful for even those organizations that were on-prem and not on the cloud. They can also come and use these features, which are pretty cool and would be handy to protect the data and manage the devices as well."
"The policy and compliance monitoring of devices and the software deployment are most valuable."
"The best part of Intune is device control. If we need to block a user from opening something in their organization's system, we can do it from Intune. If we want to restrict the movement of an organization's data to prevent users from copying the data into Outlook, WhatsApp, or their personal Gmail, we can limit that via Intune. It secures all corporate data."
"Intune's feature that I have found most valuable is its auto-pilot feature."
"Microsoft Intune has saved me about 30% of my time through streamlined processes and efficient resource management."
"The most valuable feature for us is the security, including risk analysis and patch management."
"I like Intune's ability to manage roles, maintenance tasks, compliance settings, and patch development for all endpoints."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Bomgar has allowed our service desk (based in India) and our other support personnel based in the US to seamlessly support our users worldwide."
"Before Bomgar, we spent 80% of the time running from building to building and to the campus installing the software, also training employees."
"Some of the valuable features are: Non-persistent agent: This is the most valuable feature as there is no permanent client agent on the end user's machine."
"Previously, we tried LogMeIn and we tried TeamViewer as well, and BeyondTrust had much better auditing capabilities and was putting a lot of effort into ensuring that the solution is secure enough."
"Solution has a good UI."
"It has allowed us to quickly address the needs and issues of our end users."
"For five years of using the product, there are no issues; there are no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze."
"Screen monitoring and screen sharing, as well as screen remote control, are all very useful features."
"It is a scalable solution. "
"Technical support is easy to reach."
 

Cons

"The tool's tunnel gateway is not very good, making it an area where improvements are required."
"Intune doesn't provide much control over Windows servers. It's something we struggle with."
"There are a couple of issues with stability."
"There could be more features added. For me, as I mentioned, one area is the reporting. If the reporting became better, I think you would not need to use more RMMs."
"The reports aren't complete, and it's not easy to build custom reports. For example, Windows Autopilot isn't working well in cases where the computers don't have a good internet connection. Then the option is not good enough."
"Improvements can be made by allowing server integrations since it is an area where the product currently has shortcomings."
"The installation is very easy. However, to be able to configure it you will need special knowledge, such as training or self-studies to have a proper level of security. There are many settings one has to understand before being able to implement Microsoft Intune."
"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."
"Mobile. Need more inroads into Apple devices."
"We sometimes have trouble accessing servers because of credentialing and multifactor authentication issues with PAM."
"BeyondTrust Remote Support can be improved in that using this tool when a system is infected with malware is challenging."
"Non-Windows support capabilities need improvement. They need to expand into Macs, iOS, and Android."
"Technical support for this region can be improved."
"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."
"It needs better Linux support. We have had issues with Ubuntu specifically."
"I would like to be able to transfer files between sessions."
"They do have some glitches in the microphone and speaker, especially during remote access."
"Support could be more knowledgeable."
"Support could be more knowledgeable."
"It could be integrated with IT management tools."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Microsoft Intune is moderately priced. There is a monthly license required to use the solution and it is approximately eight dollars per month."
"There is a license needed to use the solution and we are on an annual license."
"It is reasonable for the features it has."
"No one can compete with Microsoft when it comes to price, and the features it is offering."
"The pricing needs improvement."
"Intune's pricing is competitive. For example, the license of Blackberry's Enterprise Mobility Suite was costly, but Intune is affordable. It is included as an additional feature when you buy security enhancements for your organization. For example, let's say I have fifty users in my organization and all of them are using Microsoft cloud services, like Teams, Office 365, and OneDrive."
"In terms of the product price and licensing costs, my company finds the product to be reasonably priced."
"It's monthly for us, but it's built into the license cost that we pay our IT each month. It's maybe 129 Kroner per head, which translates to £10. There are some additional costs. Our IT had to set up and configure their own server, so there is an extra cost for that, but I'm not sure what that costs."
"We believe for the money, it is worth what you pay."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is subscription-based and depends on the number of admin users."
"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."
"The cost currently according to the client is a bit high for them."
"We pay every year for the box, and there are no additional costs."
"Its scalability depends on the business model we purchase."
