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

"The navigation, the keys, and the settings are easy to find. It is easy to understand."
"The solution is easy to use and it has good performance."
"Microsoft Intune is unique in providing management for all operating systems, including macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS."
"ROI is very high at the end."
"The dashboards, the security, and the customization capabilities work very well for us."
"Microsoft Intune is extremely important from a security perspective to ensure devices are compliant and gives us the efficiency to deploy apps automatically to a large number of users without the need for interaction from a client side, which is always helpful."
"The features of Microsoft Intune that I appreciate the most are its user-friendly interface and robust security options."
"Microsoft Intune is a must and should be needed for this time, for this hybrid model period, and I highly recommend this product for employees, education institutions, or device management."
"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."
"Having a secure method of access without having to install agents everywhere is a good feature."
"We like that it records the remote sessions, takes screenshots, and saves those sessions in the cloud, which is important for audit purposes and makes this solution stand out from the rest."
"We love the ability to customize our remote support page."
"It has allowed us to quickly address the needs and issues of our end users."
"It's very secure, and it works very well."
"The most valuable feature of BeyondTrust Remote Support is the ability to control screens remotely."
"I like Remote Support's ability to connect to a system without end-user interaction. A support engineer can log in to the system if a user is stuck and doesn't know where to go. This is helpful when conference room computers get locked down and the user can't access the guest OS."
"Technical support is easy to reach."
"Screen monitoring and screen sharing, as well as screen remote control, are all very useful features."
"For five years of using the product, there are no issues; there are no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze."
"It is a scalable solution. "
 

Cons

"However, there are some areas that need improvement, such as the troubleshooting part, which could be simpler."
"Microsoft Intune could be improved by providing more detailed and easier-to-navigate reporting and troubleshooting, especially when diagnosing policy failures."
"Data leak prevention can be integrated into it. Currently, it does not have data leak prevention."
"The interface is easy, but it is not user-friendly when evaluating the overall user experience of Microsoft Intune."
"Intune is not the most user-friendly mobile device management platform available."
"Microsoft Intune can be improved with faster policy synchronization, more intuitive troubleshooting tools, enhanced reporting and analytics, and simplified management for complex and hybrid environments, along with better third-party integration support and more granular administrative controls for enterprise-scale deployments."
"Management of Linux devices from Microsoft Intune would be great. Then we can manage any device and not only Windows and Apple."
"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."
"Customer support was better in the past. About two years ago, the response times became longer."
"They need to ensure that the remote support is compatible with the other cloud solution providers, like Huawei."
"This product has a lot of features that we do not currently use, so there may be some things that cause bloat and confusion."
"Lacks some kind of voice communication option."
"Some technical aspects could be improved, particularly in product management."
"The representative client can be a little buggy sometimes, but overall it works consistently."
"Mobile. Need more inroads into Apple devices."
"Non-Windows support capabilities need improvement. They need to expand into Macs, iOS, and Android."
"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."
"Support could be more knowledgeable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing costs we leave up to the customer and these vary from one to another."
"Its price is fair. It's a normal price. It isn't too expensive or too cheap."
"Microsoft Intune is included in the E5 license at no additional cost."
"Intune is included in the Microsoft 365 licensing package that we have."
"The clients pay for a license and each can have a different type of license, such as an E3 or E5."
"There are licenses required for this solution. We enable licenses on the devices we need to manage."
"It's a bit expensive from a licensing perspective, especially as we look to have organizations with tenants across the globe."
"I have no comment on pricing of the solution."
"The setup is complex. Purchase the remote implementation service and make them slow down and work with you."
"We believe for the money, it is worth what you pay."
"The cost currently according to the client is a bit high for them."
"Bomgar has a very fair pricing structure."
"I would prefer that it was more affordable."
"The solution is subscription-based and depends on the number of admin users."
"​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.​"
"I highly recommend using the tech team properly trained by Bomgar. This will help the tool be more useful."
"Its scalability depends on the business model we purchase."
