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

"Intune has significantly benefited our organization by providing comprehensive visibility into our device ecosystem."
"The automatic patch management feature in the Intune Suite is helpful."
"These capabilities have made a significant impact in my work, providing a comprehensive view of all devices and features in a single platform."
"The solution has reduced the risk of security breaches by 30%."
"The most valuable feature for us is the security, including risk analysis and patch management."
"For our clients, the conditional access feature along with different compliance policies that they can set is valuable."
"The user experience with Microsoft Intune is excellent because we can manage users and maintain security and policies anywhere they are."
"Its price is reasonable. It is a part of our M365 suite."
"This is a very secure product."
"The seamless integration of chat, our ITSM management software, and remote viewing/control software makes for a valuable tool."
"One of the great features is that service desk members can work together in a remote session."
"It is a lightweight, reliable solution that gives IT a direct visual of occurring issues."
"We have the ability to securely assist users remotely with a stable product, which allows for reporting capabilities, SAML authentication, and ServiceNow integration."
"Bomgar has allowed our service desk (based in India) and our other support personnel based in the US to seamlessly support our users worldwide."
"I would rate the technical support as a nine out of 10. They are polite, quick, and good with follow-ups."
"This product "just works" (without fail) and is dead-easy for clients to connect with."
"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

"However, with Microsoft, it takes a lot longer, and I’m not getting quick resolutions. Sometimes, I find myself bouncing around between different support groups."
"Historically, Group Policy has simplified the management of various items, such as printer and drive mappings and while Intune offers workarounds, it lacks native support for these functionalities."
"China blocks Google and Google Play Store, which makes installation challenging. Microsoft Intune is a company software, which has to be installed to the app portal or Microsoft Software Center."
"Lacking in features such as Wi-Fi and network security."
"Historically, Group Policy has simplified the management of various items, such as printer and drive mappings and while Intune offers workarounds, it lacks native support for these functionalities. This is an area I believe needs improvement."
"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."
"The initial setup is a little bit complex."
"Sometimes, it takes time to synchronize the policies between the portal and the devices, you don't have a way to estimate how long it will take to deploy. You have some kind of gray area, where it can deploy in 30 minutes or three days."
"There were a few employee devices that failed during the initial deployment, which required a second deployment."
"It needs better Linux support. We have had issues with Ubuntu specifically."
"There are not enough product partners in Turkey, making it difficult for me to get assistance."
"I would have picked an internal team member who was going to stay on the team for more time. Shortly after we went live, we had a change of staff and lost the main implementer."
"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."
"One potential improvement is in the support department."
"​The possibility to integrate a chatbot would take this product to the next level​."
"iOS interactive support would be a cool addition. Right now it's a non-interactive view."
"Support could be more knowledgeable."
"It could be integrated with IT management tools."
"They do have some glitches in the microphone and speaker, especially during remote access."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a license required to use this solution. However, it was part of a bundle package. Microsoft Intune is far less expensive than other solutions, such as Workspace ONE."
"Intune is included with our F3 and E5 licenses."
"Licensing depends on how you are providing support to your enterprise, whether it's device-based or user-based."
"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."
"The pricing is not cheap, especially with inflation. They've had to increase their prices. It's not excessive, but alright."
"It's affordable for the protection it gives. There are no additional costs."
"There is a license needed to use the solution and we are on an annual license."
"This cost is approximately $30 USD per user per month."
"I would prefer that it was more affordable."
"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."
"For a smaller customer, the cloud solution costs around $2300 per user per year."
"Bomgar has a very fair pricing structure."
"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."
"We pay every year for the box, and there are no additional costs."
"We believe for the money, it is worth what you pay."
"This product provides value for money."
"Its scalability depends on the business model we purchase."
