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

"Microsoft integrated BitLocker and Active Directory into Intune, simplifying management."
"Overall, I like Intune as a solution and would rate it nine out of ten."
"The mobile device management is very useful."
"It is a helpful tool to manage BYOD policies."
"We have ROI because we are retiring AirWatch, so we're spending less and making the most of the free stuff."
"The most valuable features are that users can make screenshots, and devices only need the minimal version of iOS."
"Technical support is good."
"The Autopilot feature is the most valuable because it saves significant time on managing devices. We can ship devices globally, and users can set them up on their own. It's convenient."
"Bomgar is used for connecting with our end users and helping them to resolve any issues that they have on their computer."
"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."
"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."
"In summary, this is a really nice product that is really secure and I can recommend it to other users."
"It has a straightforward setup. Bomgar has created a simple, lightweight deployment process."
"Having a secure method of access without having to install agents everywhere is a good feature."
"Has helped our Support Teams become 100% more productive and pleases our customer base internally and externally."
"Remote sessions are automatically recorded so there is a history of all coding and scripting, and notes and videos can be attached for both customers and service partners which is powerful."
"It is a scalable solution. "
"Screen monitoring and screen sharing, as well as screen remote control, are all very useful features."
"Technical support is easy to reach."
"For five years of using the product, there are no issues; there are no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze."
 

Cons

"There is always a noise when you are going to manage any endpoint devices, and noise is definitely there with this solution."
"There could be some kind of feature that supports a workgroup environment or a separate environment without the Entra ID."
"The interface is easy, but it is not user-friendly when evaluating the overall user experience of Microsoft Intune."
"We faced issues with macOS support. The product should have better inventory and asset management."
"I heard some pain points. The main thing is the learning curve. It took time to implement. It was not the best product starting out of the gate."
"It would be better if Microsoft can reduce the cost of the license, as we know the Intune device subscription is licensed per device at a cost of $2 a month, but for the best enhanced security and features we must add an add-on license or buy or upgrade to a bundling license such as M365E5."
"There are a few security features that are not available in Microsoft Intune, when compared to other products."
"Microsoft Copilot in Microsoft Intune is absolutely useless for protecting my environment."
"I think BeyondTrust Remote Support's installation and upgrades need improvement."
"It needs better Linux support. We have had issues with Ubuntu specifically."
"It needs better Linux support. We have had issues with Ubuntu specifically."
"We sometimes have trouble accessing servers because of credentialing and multifactor authentication issues with PAM."
"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."
"Mobile. Need more inroads into Apple devices."
"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 ability to connect mobile devices could be improved."
"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

"It's a part of Microsoft 365 and E5 licenses. Microsoft's strategy of making every feature in Microsoft Intune paid needs optimization. Remote control is one of the basic features, not a luxury feature, yet we must pay for it. I"
"There is a license needed for this solution and it is either included in one of the enterprise license agreements. Microsoft licensing is a mathematical institute, it could be quite complex. We tend to ask specialized organizations to research what the most profitable way it would be for us to use licenses in the organizations."
"There is a cost benefit of using Microsoft Intune because of the packaging with other Microsoft products."
"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."
"The Intune license model is costly."
"The cost of the license and the features are justified for myself as a technical person."
"Any bundle package, such as Security E3, covers multiple things, such as AAP, BitLocker, etc. If you go for them individually, they would be more expensive. Bundling makes the price more attractive and competitive."
"We work in the charity sector, so a lot of our clients get Microsoft Premium licenses or Business Premium for free. They get ten licenses free, and a lot of our clients do not have more than ten staff members. They are getting the tool for free, so its cost is not an issue."
"I highly recommend using the tech team properly trained by Bomgar. This will help the tool be more useful."
"For a smaller customer, the cloud solution costs around $2300 per user per year."
"We believe for the money, it is worth what you pay."
"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."
"BeyondTrust Remote Support is a very expensive product."
"This product provides value for money."
"I would prefer that it was more affordable."
"​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.​"
"Its scalability depends on the business model we purchase."
