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 like the group policy management feature, which performs application monitoring and device enrollment."
"For our office workers who are not based in Norway, when we order the PC, we can do some of the settings for them. These are standardized settings. We can set them up exactly as they are in Norway so that they're the same."
"We were trying to solve many issues, mainly the lack of centralized management. Before Microsoft Intune, we had to manually support devices one by one, installing applications and configuring policies individually. When we implemented the tool, it became much easier to manage our devices. We enroll them in Microsoft Intune and can manage all devices with a few clicks. For application management, it's the same process. If we want to deploy applications to hundreds or thousands of devices, we can do it easily with just a few clicks. This also applies to policies."
"Microsoft Intune has never crashed for me; it always works without fail."
"I particularly appreciate the administration and security features, which can be deployed easily."
"I would rate the overall solution as a 10."
"The solution is fully integrated with the Microsoft platform and the Autopilot feature, which is a unique feature."
"Microsoft Intune is far more efficient and faster than MECM."
"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 the solution concerns our company's main use case, which is for connection to our remote clients."
"I personally like the ability to share files with other machines."
"Bomgar has allowed our service desk (based in India) and our other support personnel based in the US to seamlessly support our users worldwide."
"A key advantage is over Password Safe, allowing third-party vendors access without directly onboarding them into the systems."
"The seamless integration of chat, our ITSM management software, and remote viewing/control software makes for a valuable tool."
"I would rate the product ten out of ten."
"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."
"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

"The solution could improve by having better integration with Apple."
"There's a significant discrepancy in Intune pricing between tenants."
"The configuration and pricing can be improved."
"What I dislike about Microsoft Intune is the time it takes Microsoft to develop a feature."
"It would be great if Intune offered better data protection controls for BYOD Windows PCs."
"There needs to be more support for Mac operating systems."
"Microsoft support was not very responsive, and it took approximately one and a half months to get on a call to clear what the problem was."
"I assess the stability of the product as low. I have faced downtime crashes and performance issues with Microsoft Intune."
"The Bomgar representative console could do with modernising. The Web rep console introduced is a marked improvement, but is currently not at feature parity with the thick client. This is being worked on."
"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."
"​The possibility to integrate a chatbot would take this product to the next level​."
"It could be more compatible with other applications. We had trouble with compatibility when it came to Entrust. This is because we had issues with Windows machines when we installed Entrust."
"The solution currently is not stable and we gave a road map of our expectations two or three days ago."
"Lacks some kind of voice communication option."
"One potential improvement is in the support department."
"This product has a lot of features that we do not currently use, so there may be some things that cause bloat and confusion."
"They do have some glitches in the microphone and speaker, especially during remote access."
"It could be integrated with IT management tools."
"Support could be more knowledgeable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate Intune five out of 10 for pricing. It's expensive."
"The price of Intune is included with the license for Office 365, so we don't have to pay anything extra for it."
"The pricing is good because customers are not complaining about it."
"The overall pricing of Microsoft Intune is good for companies that have big IT budgets, 3,000 or more users and devices."
"Our enterprise agreement includes Microsoft Intune at no additional cost."
"While I don't have access to high-level financial information, I believe we have achieved lower costs with this implementation."
"They have categorized the licenses according to the size of the business. So, if it's a smaller organization, we can choose the license accordingly. If it's a big organization, then we can choose accordingly. Everything is clearly mentioned, and we can decide. It's suitable for all kinds of infrastructure, and that's very goo"
"If you ask the accountant or the finance department, they'll tell you that it is way too expensive, but when I look at the cost and compare it with the value you actually get, it's more than fair."
"​The product maintenance and licensing costs are on the higher end, so I would carefully review how many licenses you need. The concurrent license model is helpful in this manner.​"
"BeyondTrust Remote Support is a very expensive product."
"The solution is subscription-based and depends on the number of admin users."
"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."
"We believe for the money, it is worth what you pay."
"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."
"It is expensive. Performance-wise, it is pretty good, but we're less happy with the cost. Its licensing is on a yearly basis. It is also on a per-technician basis. A certain number of concurrent technicians can log in and access all the features."
"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."
"Its scalability depends on the business model we purchase."
