Joseph Merusi - PeerSpot reviewer
Everything has worked better since we started using it
Sometimes the syncing is inconsistent. I'm confident that the devices are checking in every eight hours, but sometimes the devices aren't picking up the settings as quickly as I would expect. Some features haven't been updated in a while, and Microsoft doesn't seem interested in developing them. Unless you talk to an engineer, you don't know whether there will be an update. There are communication issues, so you might start working with a feature without knowing if it will be deprecated six months from now. Some reporting areas still need development. For example, I noticed that the reporting for driver updates is still confusing.

Remote administration is enabled with secure and user-friendly access
The main purpose of the product is for firewall purposes that we are using, and the VPN provides secure access for remote connections. It adds simplicity, as the solution is simple enough, with an easy interface. The functionality enables secure access for remotely connecting users, which is necessary for our operations.

Fast and has a friendly UI; allows you to consume heavy applications
An area for improvement in OpenText Exceed TurboX (ETX) is the installation process because you need some technical knowledge to install it. Implementing the solution requires knowledge and understanding, so if you're a user, you'd need IT assistance to set up OpenText Exceed TurboX (ETX). What's lacking in OpenText Exceed TurboX (ETX) is a help portal for users to ask questions and seek assistance. The website has a standard FAQs page, but I would like more articles and online material, so you can deal with questions and some of the issues that arise rather than dealing with customer support. I want a portal or online system similar to what Microsoft provides for Microsoft Office products.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution is fully integrated with the Microsoft platform and the Autopilot feature, which is a unique feature."
"Intune helps the organization manage access to its internal apps, data, and resources."
"The performance of Microsoft Intune is good."
"Fortunately, now everything is streamlined into a single, unified platform."
"The most valuable feature for us is the security, including risk analysis and patch management."
"Intune's most valuable features are its device management capabilities, particularly its centralized integration with other Microsoft stack components."
"It's easy to manage and easy to configure."
"Previously, SCCM was used as an on-premise solution for clients, but now they are moving to Microsoft Intune as a cloud solution with better security and functions."
"The main purpose of the product is for firewall purposes that we are using, and the VPN provides secure access for remote connections."
"It keeps us safe when browsing the internet and when sharing confidential information with our colleagues."
"To maintain the authorization of the connected user, Check Point provides multi-factor authentication for an RA VPN client to make sure legitimate users have access to resources."
"The clients of the customers have a facility to access the enterprise network."
"The policies are easy to use."
"It operates effectively, particularly during challenges like adversities or infrastructure issues."
"The solution is easy to install, centrally managed, and stable, with good technical support and a straightforward setup."
"It offers a simple configuration and setup."
"The solution is perfect for Linux users."
"The most helpful feature of OpenText Exceed TurboX (ETX) is that it allows you to consume heavy applications that usually have a lot of latency. I also like that the solution is fast and has a friendly UI."
 

Cons

"There should be more support for macOS. Even though macOS is supported by Intune and Microsoft is working very hard to get more features into Intune to manage macOS, that's one thing they can give a lot more attention to."
"For autopilot, there should be more granularity on the settings that they offer at this stage."
"There are challenges with Intune, specifically in reporting. Many third-party companies offer single-pane-of-glass reporting that shows you what your update environment looks like, how your patch is doing, application status, etc., but Intune's reporting is not intuitive. You can connect to Azure, monitoring, and the workbooks, but it's not streamlined."
"The backend of Microsoft Intune needs to be improved. We have seen a little bit of delay as compared to other MDM solutions. That needs to be improved. A little bit more granularity should also be added"
"Reporting in Microsoft solutions is pathetic. With Intune, I'm getting a free inventory tool, but I don't get a reporting tool. When I go to Intune, I can see one machine's entire data in terms of the hardware and the software running on it, but I cannot generate a report for all the machines in the organization. The reporting is the only feature holding back the functionality that is already there."
"The most significant challenge is reporting and monitoring. The reporting accuracy for deploying applications and all aspects of Intune needs to be improved."
"The solution could be improved by the opportunity to connect third-party application databases, such as Chocolatey or another setup store, to Intune."
"I also hope the cost of Remote Help will decrease because it's a much-needed Intune function."
"It's difficult to configure on Linux workstations as Check Point Remote VPN clients support only Windows and Mac devices."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN handles up to a hundred megabytes for clients, but I want it to be able to handle up to one gigabyte."
"There needs to be a way to create a VPN client specific to our environment so that we can easily lock down who can connect."
"Improvements for Check Point Remote Access VPN could include enhancing mobile connectivity for a smoother user experience."
"The product needs to improve its support."
"I would like the support to be faster."
"Bug Fixes and enhancement requests should be remediated earlier."
"Sometimes the application slows down the computing device, and this affects workflows."
"The performance of the graphical interface needs improvement. They should add some CPU to speed graphic acceleration."
"An area for improvement in OpenText Exceed TurboX (ETX) is the installation process because you need some technical knowledge to install it. What's lacking in OpenText Exceed TurboX (ETX) is a help portal for users to ask questions and seek assistance."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am satisfied with the pricing."
"Pricing depends on the features. Microsoft offers special packages if there are more than 10,000 users, and you may be able to get a reduced rate."
"For organizations that are a Microsoft shop, the pricing is compelling."
"The Intune license model is costly."
"Microsoft Intune is not cost-effective as a standalone product."
"Microsoft Intune is more expensive than other solutions, but it offers a wider range of features and control."
"The E5 license is expensive."
"Microsoft Intune has been incorporated into our Microsoft E5 licenses."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"Organizations that already have the Check Point NGFW need to purchase an additional license to have access to the VPN functionality."
"The solution is pretty expensive. The rating is an eight."
"The price of this product is good."
"I give the price of the solution a five out of ten."
"My company makes yearly payments only towards the licensing costs attached to Check Point Remote Access VPN, as there are no extra costs attached to the product."
"I can say that the licensing costs are charged annually."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN is not expensive and the cost is annual."
"Pricing for OpenText Exceed TurboX (ETX) is five out of ten. It's not that expensive, and it's not that affordable."
