Centralized device management has automated onboarding and improves remote security compliance
One thing I feel Microsoft Intune could improve is troubleshooting visibility. In many cases, when a policy or application deployment fails, the error messages are a bit generic. So, admins still spend time checking logs manually or testing on devices one by one. Compared to the simplicity of deployment, troubleshooting sometimes feels less mature. I also think reporting and real-time monitoring could be stronger. The dashboard gives useful information, but in large environments, many teams still depend on additional tools or scripts for deeper reporting and analytics. If I had to focus on one area first, I would probably choose troubleshooting and reporting. Deployment through Microsoft Intune is generally straightforward, but when something fails, identifying the exact root cause can still take more time than expected. Error messages are sometimes too generic, and admins often have to dig through logs, sync status, or multiple portals to understand what actually happened. I think user experience and policy management could also improve further. Microsoft Intune has become much better over the years, but sometimes the admin portal still feels fragmented because certain configurations open in different sections or redirect to older interfaces. For new admins, especially, it can take time to understand where everything is located. Another thing is policy conflict handling. In larger organizations, multiple device policies, compliance rules, and configuration profiles can overlap. When conflicts happen, the visibility is not always very clear, so admins spend time figuring out which policy actually won or caused the issue.

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

"What I like the most about Microsoft Intune is its ability to manage mobile devices. Through integration with System Center, it can also manage desktops and laptops."
"These capabilities have made a significant impact in my work, providing a comprehensive view of all devices and features in a single platform."
"Microsoft Intune is a tool designed for enterprise customers to protect enterprise data from leakage or sharing."
"Dynamic groups allow us to set conditions for automatic membership, eliminating the need for user intervention or manual review and ensuring a seamless workflow."
"The most valuable feature of Intune is the user-friendly portal for end users."
"I like how Intune deploys the policies and makes them customizable. You can deploy it through Intune and forget about it."
"There has been a noticeable increase in productivity for both my organization and clients."
"Microsoft Intune benefits my company because of its simplicity of use and cross-functional integration."
"There is no reason to look at any other tools because it comes with everything that you could possibly need and protects organizations from any breaches."
"Bomgar has allowed our service desk (based in India) and our other support personnel based in the US to seamlessly support our users worldwide."
"You can't compete with TeamViewer or any other similar products. It's completely in a class of its own."
"The time savings that we experience from being able to get hands on with a device experiencing trouble, and the time to resolve an issue is substantial."
"Live chat enabled a new support channel into our service desk, integrating with our Service Management toolset. The meet-in-the-middle remote control functionality bypassed a lot of network restrictions that hampered our previous solution, enabling a far wider reach to our end-users."
"We rarely need support for anything, but when we do, they are on it and always helpful."
"Bomgar brand, or now BeyondTrust's brand reputation is great; it is very strong, it's an undisputed global leader."
"The support team who are interfacing with us, are excellent. They are on time for any response."
"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."
"It is a scalable solution. "
"Screen monitoring and screen sharing, as well as screen remote control, are all very useful features."
 

Cons

"There can be more logs. I do not have any other requirements."
"When Microsoft Intune is used with different android devices it does not always work as it is supposed to."
"I would like to see Intune improve its handling of hybrid domain joins."
"It's only good for a Microsoft environment."
"Deploying an app can be a complex process due to dependencies."
"Microsoft Intune has potential for improvement; I would like to see a lot more customization in the reporting tools."
"Reporting can be better. Only global administrators can see detailed reports at the moment, and I don't want to use the global admin."
"Setting up Intune Autopilot can be a little complicated."
"This product has a lot of features that we do not currently use, so there may be some things that cause bloat and confusion."
"One potential improvement is in the support department."
"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."
"Customer support was better in the past. About two years ago, the response times became longer."
"I would like to see more integration with iOS devices along with better connectivity and communication with these devices."
"It lacks voice integration like the other products because they need the compression to support that large amount of concurrent sessions."
"The ability to connect mobile devices could be improved."
"The product maintenance and licensing costs are on the higher end, so I would carefully review how many licenses you need."
"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 purchase of the product was handled by someone else."
"The price of Intune is included with the license for Office 365, so we don't have to pay anything extra for it."
"Microsoft Intune is included in the E5 license at no additional cost."
"My team members bundled it together with their Microsoft solutions, including Microsoft 365 and related products."
"Generally, we get favorable discounts, so it's not too bad. Obviously, we're looking at decreasing those wherever we can to bring value back to the public purse because it's all charity based. It's all publicly funded."
"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."
"Microsoft Intune's pricing is reasonable."
"Microsoft Intune is more expensive than other solutions, but it offers a wider range of features and control."
"BeyondTrust Remote Support is a very expensive product."
"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."
"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."
"I highly recommend using the tech team properly trained by Bomgar. This will help the tool be more useful."
"The setup is complex. Purchase the remote implementation service and make them slow down and work with you."
"It is not the most cost effective solution on the market."
"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."
"This product provides value for money."
"Its scalability depends on the business model we purchase."
