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 most valuable features are the device, compliance, and configuration policies."
"It meets the basic security needs and management needs for most organizations."
"Overall, the stability is good."
"Autopilot is definitely the most valuable feature for me, because as an MSP supporting some clients with 300 to 400 users, once it is configured correctly we use Microsoft Intune so that when a laptop is sent directly to a remote user they just log in with their email address and password and their machine is ready to go with Wi-Fi, SharePoint access, OneDrive backup, Outlook, and all the applications they need automatically configured and deployed."
"The ability to block and erase remote devices is valuable to us, especially when those devices are lost."
"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 helps us avoid issuing everyone company-owned devices. We provide a stipend, allowing users to bring their own devices. This approach gives us leverage against other MSPs. It also enhances collaboration because clients already covered by specific licensing can optimize their usage of Microsoft Intune."
"The Microsoft Windows Autopilot and Defender policies are the most valuable features of this solution."
"Bomgar is used for connecting with our end users and helping them to resolve any issues that they have on their computer."
"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."
"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."
"Bomgar has given us the ability to manage the majority of our calls from a remote location making response times quicker and more efficient."
"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."
"This is the most stable product on the market."
"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."
"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."
"It is a scalable solution. "
 

Cons

"If you're looking forward to deficiency, I'd say that the Endpoint Manager support at the lower levels is poor."
"Historically, Group Policy has simplified the management of various items, such as printer and drive mappings and while Intune offers workarounds, it lacks native support for these functionalities. This is an area I believe needs improvement."
"Although Intune is from the same provider, its integration with other Microsoft products, like Microsoft Defender or Microsoft Purview, could be improved."
"It would be helpful if there was proactive remediation."
"While Intune works perfectly well, the only potential downside is that the deployment could be a bit complex for some users."
"There are a lot of small use cases where we realized that some technical solution was missing in Microsoft in comparison to other products. For example, it lacks something similar to sensing or location-based rules and configurations."
"However, there are some areas that need improvement, such as the troubleshooting part, which could be simpler."
"The solution needs to improve reporting. Sometimes, it shows double or triple entries of the same thing, which affects the count's accuracy. Also, some applications onboarded in Microsoft Intune do not get updated. When we look for solutions online, there is often no clear answer."
"Lacks remote support and privileged remote access in the one product."
"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."
"I'd like to see remote support and privileged remote access built into the same product."
"The product is pretty well rounded, but there are a few things that could be improved."
"BeyondTrust Remote Support can be improved in that using this tool when a system is infected with malware is challenging."
"Although the learning curve is steep, the product is well-documented.​"
"It is expensive. Performance-wise, it is pretty good, but we're less happy with the cost."
"Static notes for hosts: If I could enter notes on a Jump Client and have them appear every time I connect to that Client, it would be a huge benefit."
"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

"It comes with the E5 plan. We bought the E5 plan from Microsoft."
"Microsoft Intune is not cost-effective as a standalone product."
"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 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."
"Microsoft Intune is a cost effective choice. It is less expensive than other products on the market."
"Pricing can be improved."
"Microsoft Intune is reasonably priced for large organizations that already have Microsoft Enterprise licenses, but it is less affordable for smaller businesses."
"The licensing costs we leave up to the customer and these vary from one to another."
"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."
"This product provides value for money."
"I would like to order more licenses. This would allow us to support more end users concurrently."
"Although the upfront cost is a bit overwhelming, the appliance will pay for itself in less than two years."
"For a smaller customer, the cloud solution costs around $2300 per user per year."
"The setup is complex. Purchase the remote implementation service and make them slow down and work with you."
"Bomgar has a very fair pricing structure."
"The cost currently according to the client is a bit high for them."
"Its scalability depends on the business model we purchase."
