Centralized endpoint security has improved and supports hybrid work and BYOD policies

Regarding what I dislike about Microsoft Intune and its downsides, I would say that more Mac controls are needed because we have limited Mac and Linux control. When comparing controls and policies between Windows, Mac, and Linux, Windows has almost everything you can think of, while Mac and Linux have limited types of control. You cannot implement certain things on Mac and Linux that you can on Windows. The limited controls are a major issue. Additionally, if Microsoft could find a way to embed servers into Microsoft Intune, that would be beneficial. Microsoft Intune is not really designed for servers or Windows servers. It is more tailored towards Windows 11 and Windows 10 operating systems. Windows servers are not fully supported. Enterprise organizations usually have both servers and endpoints, which are users' workstations. For servers, most people look for other solutions such as SCCM, which is Configuration Manager. However, SCCM is what Microsoft Intune is trying to replace. Both SCCM and Microsoft Intune belong to Microsoft. Microsoft is trying to transition organizations into Microsoft Intune, the native cloud solution. However, because this update is still in process, servers are not fully compatible with Microsoft Intune and cannot be managed by it. The current policy that has emerged from issues with clients is what they call co-management, which is relatively new, and I do not know if adoption is significant. Many legacy or older customers who have been using these products for decades still have SCCM. When it is time for them to manage their Windows devices, they use what is called cloud attach. Cloud attach is a term whereby your SCCM is connected to your Microsoft Intune. Most people do not know about it, but I have deployed it for several organizations. Cloud attach and co-management work together so that your device is in SCCM, but some policies are pushed from Microsoft Intune. It is like two different solutions working hand in hand. That is what they call co-management. Microsoft Intune does not bring all of your endpoint and security management tools into one place, which is the goal and how it should be. However, as I mentioned, servers are not included. If we talk about end users, Microsoft Intune does bring all your devices together. In a typical enterprise environment, you have end users with workstations, laptops, company-issued phones, and bring your own devices. You can create policies for all of these. However, for the backend, your servers do not have much coverage. Servers are not really covered by Microsoft Intune in that way.

Has improved security and enabled remote work flexibility across teams

The best features Check Point Remote Access VPN offers are its security features, which stand out to me. Whenever we are giving the remote access VPN to any employees or vendors, we can specify and control particular access. If we want to give access to a particular IP only, we can achieve that via this feature, and we also apply security features such as antivirus and anti-spyware while giving access to any employees or partners. The ability to control and specify access with Check Point Remote Access VPN, such as limiting to particular IPs or applying antivirus and anti-spyware, makes our environment safe from cyber threats and any types of malicious activities or accessing our private data. We control this through the feature by applying security policies that allow particular users. After deploying Check Point Remote Access VPN solution, I can say that our productivity has maximized. Users are working from home and even working 24/7. If they want, they can access our resources at any time, providing flexibility to work from anywhere. Employees say that sometimes they are not available during the working hour, but they can work from home at their flexible timing, needing access to our private network resources. They sit at home or any remote site and connect to our network to work, which is very good.

Able to boot into safe mode or standard mode remotely and reliable performance

I've only had to deal with it once. Because of the custom package we have, a white-label package, I can only think of one issue maybe six or seven years ago. I don't even remember what it was. At that time, I think they were pretty responsive. Very few companies offer phone support anymore; everyone's gone the way of email responses. I'm having that problem with CorelDRAW right now, and I'm waiting three weeks for a technician. So it's a good thing it's not important. Are the customer service and support good? For me, they're as good as anybody else, maybe not as good as some companies, but probably better than most. We deal with HP, IBM, HCL. Some companies only offer email support, and you have to wait for a response. I'm trying to remember the last time I interacted with Splashtop support. They do give you an answer. On a scale of one to ten, they're nine plus. You rarely have to use them, but I'm satisfied when you do.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"There are so many features, but Windows Autopilot is one of the features that are very valuable for most customers."

"The best feature of Microsoft Intune is that it managed the endpoints."

"The most valuable features in Microsoft Intune for me are application deployment, Defender deployment, and asset management."

"Its security is most valuable. It gives us a way to secure devices, not only those that are steady. We do have a few tablets and other devices, and it is a way for us to secure these devices and manage them. We know they're out there and what's their status. We can manage their life cycle and verify that they're updated properly."

"Microsoft Intune is reliable, scalable, and user-friendly."

"We are a remote company, and the product helps us manage the global endpoints. It helps us natively manage the endpoints in the cloud from anywhere."

"While Microsoft Intune boasts a wide range of features, its user-friendliness and bundled licensing cost are key considerations for me."

"The best features include the management, which is quite good, and endpoints."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"Our VPN connects over 1,200 people with no issues."

"It keeps us safe when browsing the internet and when sharing confidential information with our colleagues."

"The initial setup was pretty easy."

"Stability and the security aspect are strong with Check Point Remote Access VPN, which is why we decided to go with it."

"It operates effectively, particularly during challenges like adversities or infrastructure issues."

"Our users find the interface very comfortable to use."

"Check Point Remote Access VPN offers multi-factor authentication when connecting to organizational networks, which adds an extra layer of security by requiring multiple verification steps when users connect."

"I like the fact that Remote Access allows the administrator to control and manage things. It makes things smoother, and it has been an excellent experience."

More Check Point Remote Access VPN pros

"In contrast, Splashtop is a really good product and it's not so expensive."

"The SOS Support is a most valuable feature, as we have remote access from our phone, there is no need to install the software, and we can do it on the cloud."

"The tool's most valuable features are pricing and easy management."

"With the extended license, it's easy to be remote."

"The solution is very fast."

"The file transfers work well, the remote support and hosted solution work well."

"Splashtop Remote Support is my main product, and I use it daily. Its main function is to control systems, which is essential remotely. Additionally, it has useful features such as chat functionality, file transfer, and the ability to add notes with information about a computer or server. Despite being simple software, it is very useful and valuable."

"The ability to use mobile devices is helpful because we can support our clients from anywhere."

More Splashtop Remote Support pros

Cons

"There are some issues using the solution with macOS and iOS, and it offers limited granular control with them. Intune works better on Windows and Android."

"It would be better if I could integrate it with my core group policy. I would like to have a group policy in my current environment, which has strict control, but those things are still missing. Although it has maximum compliance and security, it's not available on-premise."

"I think if you have the money and want something more stable, you should go for AirWatch. I don't think Microsoft is offering the same stability as VMware at this point."

"However, there are some areas that need improvement, such as the troubleshooting part, which could be simpler."

"One area where Microsoft Intune could improve is policy troubleshooting and reporting. Identifying why a device is non-compliant or why a deployment failed can sometimes require longer than expected."

"However, due to access limitations, we are unable to deploy certain security features on end-user devices."

"I wish Microsoft would keep up with their documentation. They make changes so quickly to these platforms that they do not update the documentation properly in a timely manner."

"Intune's areas for improvement revolve around security and certificate management."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"We would like to implement HTML5 (clientless access) in the product without installing any additional software."

"Everything functions perfectly with Check Point Remote Access VPN based on my knowledge, but the KB documents for configuration are limited and could be improved."

"Connection of devices from various locations is efficient though there are a few challenges when there is a network failure."

"You have no ability to reserve a total number of licenses. The VPN user licenses are assigned per gateway, and if you enable MEP function is not so easy to size the gateway licenses."

"There were some issues with automation and instability."

"The maximum it is giving us is only 5 licenses and if you need more, they must be purchased separately."

"Sometimes it causes the consumption of machine resources, and also improves the scanning since they consume many resources in the clients' machines."

"Sometimes the application slows down the computing device, and this affects workflows."

More Check Point Remote Access VPN cons

"The packages that Splashtop has, tend to be a little bit confusing and should be simplified."

"The integration features could be better."

"Splashtop Remote Support needs to improve customization."

"The solution should add more options and tools for shortcuts, administration, etc."

"I'm not sure if I can recommend the solution as I'm not sure if it's a fit for me."

"The solution should be able to make an inventory of computers automatically."

"The phone's a little tricky to work with due to the small screen."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is expensive."

"The overall pricing of Microsoft Intune is good for companies that have big IT budgets, 3,000 or more users and devices."

"As a partner, we always look for how we can generate more revenue from a consulting point of view, but I do not see any complaints from the customer side regarding pricing, so they are satisfied with it."

"The solution is cost-efficient."

"Microsoft Intune has a user-based subscription model. You can go for a monthly or a yearly payment."

"Microsoft Intune is included in the E5 license at no additional cost."

"The product is relatively pricey, but considering its benefits, I'd say it's fair. The benefits outweigh the expensive licensing fees, especially for large organizations, but medium-sized and smaller businesses may be unable to afford it."

"We spend a lot of money on Intune licensing, and some of our users have to be double licensed just because of how our dev and corporate environments are segmented."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"My understanding is that the pricing and licensing are very competitive, and it's not one of their more expensive products. We buy licenses for the solution and have licenses for the endpoint servers."

"Organizations that already have the Check Point NGFW need to purchase an additional license to have access to the VPN functionality."

"There is a license required for this solution."

"The solution is pretty expensive. The rating is an eight."

"The product is expensive. I rate its pricing a ten out of ten. For the cost of one product, we could purchase two or three Fortinet solutions with the same amount of money."

"Check Point Remote Access VPN is not expensive and the cost is annual."

"The price of this product is good."

"I can say that the licensing costs are charged annually."

More Check Point Remote Access VPN pricing and cost advice

"Splashtop Remote Support is not too expensive. It costs around 800 euros per year."

"The price of the solution is mid-ranged, although it is more cost effective than that of TeamViewer."

"The licensing fees are less than $400 per year."
