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

"Intune's integration with Microsoft 365 is exceptional."
"The biggest thing for us is enforcing logins only from devices that are managed by Intune."
"It's easy to deploy a configuration or policy to a system, especially when you don't have Azure AD. Now we are talking to all these small and medium-sized customers who don't necessarily have an on-premise Windows Active Directory. If they have invested in Office 365 Premium, this functionality becomes available to them."
"We have not had any issues with the scalability."
"The mobile application management, MAM, is the most useful aspect of the solution."
"Overall, I like Intune as a solution and would rate it nine out of ten."
"The user experience is good; we could work and deploy many controls through Microsoft Intune."
"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."
"Solution has a good UI."
"Live chat enabled a new support channel into our service desk, integrating with our Service Management toolset."
"Has helped our Support Teams become 100% more productive and pleases our customer base internally and externally."
"One of the largest values that we get from Bomgar Remote Support tool is the ability to assist our drivers with their mobile devices. We were unable to do this previously."
"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."
"The integrated chat service with quick elevation to a full control support session has increased our service desk efficiency."
"The jump to feature function is the most valuable to us as it allows us to directly remote control customers."
"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."
"For five years of using the product, there are no issues; there are no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze."
"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

"It would be awesome if Microsoft opened their API so we could filter more properties. If we have to do anything outside of Intune that requires a third-party solution to talk back to it, we're very limited in what we can do. Trust your people. We promise not to break your stuff. Open it up just a tiny bit wider."
"Intune should support platforms other than Windows. We have encountered several limitations, especially when handling iOS devices."
"There are items that require improvements. One is the controls from iOS."
"It needs incorporation of Knox, ZeroTouch, etc."
"There are differences in protecting the data on a mobile device and on iOS. When you protect the data on iOS, you protect the entire device."
"If you're looking forward to deficiency, I'd say that the Endpoint Manager support at the lower levels is poor."
"Intune needs to incorporate more tools to reduce the number of third-party applications we rely on."
"The documentation about the custom image setup could be better. Although Microsoft provides the steps to configure Intune or set up or deploy Intune, it doesn't have much information related to custom images. If you ask, "how can we deploy the custom image?" There is no information. The steps they mention ask you to connect to your on-premises environment or create your own image on the cloud itself once there is connectivity. But I needed to go to multiple websites to get all this information. I had to figure out how to upload the custom image if you want to use the on-premise custom image for Cloud PC. If you have the proper subscription, you must have the right access, like global admin or owner. Then you can add your custom image to that. There are no steps mentioned over there. Microsoft Intune doesn't have Chrome browser support. I would like to have that support because they will want it if we pitch the product to clients."
"They need to ensure that the remote support is compatible with the other cloud solution providers, like Huawei. Currently it is only compatible with Azure, AWS and KVM."
"Linux support leaves quite a bit to be desired. Ubuntu systems have issues with connectivity."
"I would have picked an internal team member who was going to stay on the team for more time. Shortly after we went live, we had a change of staff and lost the main implementer."
"One potential improvement is in the support department."
"I'd like to see some kind of voice communication feature. During a session, communication is on chat."
"When we first purchased Bomgar, the support blew me away. Over the last two or three years however, it dropped off."
"The configuration and permission options are extensive. However, we would appreciate having a search function in the settings."
"The configuration and permission options are extensive. However, we would appreciate having a search function in the settings."
"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

"Microsoft Intune is not cost-effective as a standalone product."
"I rate Intune an eight out of ten for affordability. It's bundled with the 365 licensing, which is competitive overall."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis."
"Microsoft Intune has been incorporated into our Microsoft E5 licenses."
"It's affordable. It's cheaper if you have an Office 365, E5, or E3 subscription because everything is there."
"We use Defender ATP and E5 licenses."
"Microsoft's licensing is more flexible and adaptive than its competitors."
"The Intune license model is costly."
"The cost currently according to the client is a bit high for them."
"​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."
"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."
"The solution is subscription-based and depends on the number of admin users."
"I would like to order more licenses. This would allow us to support more end users concurrently."
"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."
