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

"In terms of technical support, you will get an immediate response."
"One of the main features of the solution is it allows the management of many devices in different ways."
"The feature I like the most is that we can perform remote tasks. If we want to retire or wipe out personal data or corporate data from a device, we can use Microsoft Intune remotely, and with the click of a button, data is removed automatically. Nothing needs to be done from the end-user side."
"I appreciate how clear Microsoft Intune is."
"...Intune itself integrates with that entire Microsoft ecosystem. As an individual product itself, it's okay. It holds up. But when you start saying "I've bought this as part of a wider solution, as a company we are going Microsoft throughout," then it makes more sense to have Microsoft Intune... so you have that single dashboard."
"I have seen a return on investment right from the start of the tool's usage."
"A great solution for anyone wanting a modern endpoint device management solution."
"We are using the mobile feature, and we are also using MDM to lock the devices, to push restrictions, et cetera"
"Offers a secure method of access without having to install agents everywhere."
"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."
"Before Bomgar, we spent 80% of the time running from building to building and to the campus installing the software, also training employees."
"We have used other solutions, but Bomgar has a superior security architecture compared to the competition and lets us control remote access in a granular manner."
"We have a service offering called Remote Support; we can't deliver it without this tool, and the tool costs $10,000 while we make $100,000, so it's a pretty good ROI."
"The remote reboot feature is particularly valuable for rebooting terminal servers that have power controls disabled."
"We love the ability to customize our remote support page."
"We have the ability to securely assist users remotely with a stable product, which allows for reporting capabilities, SAML authentication, and ServiceNow integration."
"It is a scalable solution. "
"For five years of using the product, there are no issues; there are no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze."
"Screen monitoring and screen sharing, as well as screen remote control, are all very useful features."
"Technical support is easy to reach."
 

Cons

"The technical support could be improved."
"There is room for improvement in server patch management and allowing direct uploads of EXE applications instead of needing to convert them to Intune format, which would save time."
"The information we receive at the device level needs improvement."
"The pricing can be expensive if you are not combining it with other products."
"It would be great if Intune offered better data protection controls for BYOD Windows PCs."
"There are a few security features that are not available in Microsoft Intune, when compared to other products."
"There is room for improvement in the remediation and detection modules, which are currently about eighty percent fully functional."
"It's only good for a Microsoft environment. While it works very well for Microsoft users but if you have other kinds of operating systems, it's very painful to use."
"It is pricey."
"The configuration and permission options are extensive. However, we would appreciate having a search function in the settings."
"There were a few employee devices that failed during the initial deployment, which required a second deployment."
"One potential improvement is in the support department. Customers based in India have to wait for support staff in the UK to start their shifts for assistance on non-urgent matters, even for severity one or two issues."
"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."
"They currently don't have remote access control to Chromebooks, and I think they should start doing that."
"Linux support leaves quite a bit to be desired. Ubuntu systems have issues with connectivity."
"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."
"Support could be more knowledgeable."
"It could be integrated with IT management tools."
"Support could be more knowledgeable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is expensive. The cost depends on the license that we choose."
"The cost of the license and the features are justified for myself as a technical person."
"Intune's pricing is competitive. For example, the license of Blackberry's Enterprise Mobility Suite was costly, but Intune is affordable. It is included as an additional feature when you buy security enhancements for your organization. For example, let's say I have fifty users in my organization and all of them are using Microsoft cloud services, like Teams, Office 365, and OneDrive."
"With one user base license, we can use Intune for up to five devices. However, with Soti MobiControl, each license is tied to a single device, meaning one license is dedicated to one device only."
"The price of Intune is often included as part of a bundle with other Microsoft licenses, which makes it somewhat cheaper."
"We are partners, so we receive some discount. However, from the customer's perspective, Microsoft Intune's pricing is competitive with non-Microsoft technology, and the price is good compared to other market competitors."
"On a scale of one to ten with one being the cheapest, the cost of Microsoft Intune is a five."
"The pricing for Microsoft Intune is reasonable. Our clients are satisfied."
"This product provides value for money."
"It is not the most cost effective solution on the market."
"I would prefer that it was more affordable."
"I would like to order more licenses. This would allow us to support more end users concurrently."
"I highly recommend using the tech team properly trained by Bomgar. This will help the tool be more useful."
"Bomgar has a very fair pricing structure."
"The setup is complex. Purchase the remote implementation service and make them slow down and work with you."
"Although the upfront cost is a bit overwhelming, the appliance will pay for itself in less than two years."
"Its scalability depends on the business model we purchase."
